Q

What are the basic steps for closed extraction?

A

Separate the soft tissues (release PDL and papilla) Luxate the tooth (start using elevators as apically as possible, use the wedge, wheel and axle and lever aspects of instruments) Seat and position forceps (apically as possible, wedge it in, watching adjacent structures) Luxate the tooth with the forceps (buccal, lingual and rotational forces)

Q

What is used to elevate the flap and how?

A

Periosteal elevator. Pointed aspect to trace the incision and release the papilla. Elevate initial free edge, then use the round end, with sharp edge adjacent to the bone, to sweep back and forth.

Q

What are the indications for leaving a root tip?

25
Q

What are the indications for a biopsy.

A

Persistent for more than 2 weeks and not responding to treatment within 2 weeks. Radiographic changes, hyperkeratotic changes, persistent swellings. Interfering with function. ulcerations, malignant characteristics.

26
Q

What body parts should be included in the head and neck exam?

A

Neck, TMJ, oral cavity and oropharynx.

27
Q

What type of technique is fine needle aspiration and what is it used for?

A

Cytology. Various head and neck lesions such as neck masses and parotid and other salivary gland tumors.

28
Q

What is brush biopsy used for?

A

Another cytology method. Has a role in monitoring pts with chronic mucosal changes and can serve as a trigger for traditional biopsy. Can’t stage or grade the lesion due to lack of architecture

29
Q

What are the light techniques?

A

Emit wavelengths that claim to highlight lesions with dysplasia. Used in the cervix. Potential use for screening and monitoring. Role really needs to be defined.

30
Q

What type of lesions are incisional biopsies used for?

A

Large! Greater than 1 cm. Mucosal and deep intraosseous lesions.

31
Q

Requirements for incisional biopsy.

A

Location is guided by diff. diag. Multiple samples may be needed depending on characteristics of lesion. Must include entire depth. The more narrow and deep (to end of lesion) the better. May need to be oriented for further treatment.

32
Q

Excisional biopsy

A

Removes entire lesion with a perimeter of normal tissue. Can be the definitive treatment of the lesion. Used on smaller lesions and in locations that doesn’t disfigure the pt.

33
Q

Why would you want to orient the margins of the specimen?

A

Guide you in cases which require a margin of normal tissue to definitively treat. (Malignant and recurring)

34
Q

What type of incisions are easily closed?

A

Incisions.

35
Q

What principle is used to place sutures?

A

Halving the lesion.

36
Q

Formalin

A

Routine histologic examination. Fixative. Kills bacteria.

37
Q

Michels

A

Simple salt. Only 5 days. Doesn’t kill pathogens and maintains pH. Can’t used formalin after. Used for immunofluorescence.

38
Q

Why should a lesion be aspirated prior to biopsy?

A

Guide the location. If blood is aspirated, don’t do shit. Could lose a lot of biopsy.

39
Q

What guides the decision of what type of biopsy?

A

Differential diagnosis, size and location of lesion.

40
Q

Nodule

A

small rounded lump

41
Q

Papule

A

Smaller than a nodule

42
Q

Plaque

A

Patch

43
Q

Pustule

A

Contain pus

44
Q

Vesicle

A

Contain fluid

45
Q

Bullae

A

Big blister

46
Q

Ulcer

A

Open sore

47
Q

Erosion

A

the superficial destruction of a surface area of tissue (as mucous membrane) by inflammation, ulceration, or trauma

48
Q

Pt. Follow up

A

7-10 days for looking at surgical site and reviewing path results. Outlines definitive treatment.

49
Q

What guides the differential diagnosis?

A

History obtained from pt!

50
Q

Contraindications for 3rd molar removal?

A

Extremes of age, compromised medical status, risk of damage to adjacent structures, hx of radiation.

51
Q

What are the angulations of impacted 3rds?

A
  1. Mesioangular (43)
  2. Horizontal-severe mesioangular (3)
  3. Vertical (38)
  4. Distoangular (6)
52
Q

Pell and Gregory Classification

A

Based on the amount of bone from the anterior ramus covering the impacted tooth and the relationship to the occlusal plane.

Class 1: Entire MD distance is in front of the ramus.
Class 2: 1/2 is in front of the ramus.
Class 3: Tooth located completely within the ramus.

Class A: Even with occlusal plane.
Class B: Between the occlusal plane and cervical line.
Class C: Below the cervical line.

53
Q

What is the relationship of overlying tissue used for?

A

ADA for description of the tooth. Not used to identify difficulty of tooth removal.

54
Q

What is the classification scheme for overlying tissues?

A

Erupted
Soft tissue impaction
Partial bony impaction (less than 75% is covered)
Complete bony (More than 75% is covered.

55
Q

When is the optimal time to extract a tooth?

A

When root is 1/3-2/3 formed.

56
Q

MX Impaction variations

A

Vertical, distoangular, mesioangular. Listed in order of difficulty.

57
Q

Pell and Gregory for MX?

A

A B and C are similar to MN.

58
Q

What vital adjacent structures are there around MN 3rd molars.

A

Lingual nerve (temp .4-1.5% perm 0-.5%0, IA (temp 1-5%, perm 0-.9%).

59
Q

Location of lingual nerve

A

10-15% of the time lies superior to the lingual crest. 2.5 mm below superior crest and 2.5 mm medial to crest.

60
Q

Radiographic predictors of nerve position

A

Root darkening, deflection and interruption of the canal. Narrowing ofthe canal. Splitting of root apex.
