Q

Bone Loss following Dental Extractions
Long Term Results
(6)

A
  • Loss of bony alveolar ridge
  • Increase in intra-arch space
  • Increase influence of surrounding soft tissue
    – Tongue expansion
  • Decrease stability and retention of prosthesis
  • Increased discomfort from improper prosthesis adaptation
  • Severe resorption of the mandible can make the patient susceptible for a fracture

Q

Principles of Patient Evaluation and Treatment
Planning
(3)

A
  • Understand clearly the desired design of final prosthesis.
  • Develop a detailed treatment plan based on a thorough clinical examination.
  • Define and outline the Problem. (Is it with the Soft tissue/ Hard Tissue OR Both
19
Q

AFTER THIS MAKE A DECISION FOR THE TYPE OF

A

PREPROSTHETIC
SURGICAL PROCEDURE

20
Q

Pre-prosthetic Surgical Procedures
(3)

A
  • Pre-prosthetic surgical procedures span a spectrum from very simple to quite
    complex:
  • Minor Pre-prosthetic Surgery
  • Advanced Pre-prosthetic Surgery
21
Q

General Considerations for Minor Pre-prosthetic Surgery
(4)

A
  • Most can be done with L.A.
  • Advanced forms of pain control/ I.V sedation are helpful in Patients who are anxious
    and cases that need more elaborate pre-prosthetic surgery.
  • Patients are often old, and require detailed workup and monitoring.
  • Restorative phase in 4 – 8 weeks postop
22
Q

Minor Pre-prosthetic Surgical procedures
* Many Minor Modifications of the alveolar ridge and vestibular areas can
greatly improve

A

denture stability and retention.
* Hard Tissue(Osseous) surgery
* Soft Tissue Surgery

23
Q

Bony Recontouring of Alveolar Ridges
(4)

A
  • Simple alveoloplasty (Multiple Teeth Extraction).
  • Intraseptal alveoloplasty.
  • Maxillary tuberosity reduction.
  • Buccal exostosis and extensive undercuts.
24
Q

Tori Removal
(2)

A
  • Maxillary tori.
  • Mandibular tori.
25
Q

Alveoloplasty

A
  • Alveoloplasty is “ the recontouring or reduction of a portion of the alveolar
    process”
26
Q

Goals of alveoloplasty:
(3)

A
  • Eliminate bony projections that result in undercuts
  • Improve the path of insertion of the prosthesis
  • Eliminate bony sources of irritation
27
Q

Types of Alveoloplasty
(3)

A
  • Simple alveoloplasty
  • Simple alveoloplasty with buccal or labial cortical reduction
  • Intraseptal alveolectomy and cortical plate in-fracture
28
Q

Intraseptal Alveoloplasty and cortical plate in-fracture
(3)

A

*Periosteal attachment is maintained
*Alveolar height is preserved
*Alveolar width is lost

29
Q

Disadvantages of Alveoloplasty
(3)

A
  1. Accelerates bone loss
  2. Increased post-operative pain
  3. Potential Complications:
    - Oral-antral communication(Maxilla)
30
Q
  1. Accelerates bone loss
    (2)
A
  • Buccal/labial cortical alveoloplasty (most long term loss)
  • Intraseptal alveolectomy (significantly less)
31
Q

Maxillary Tuberosity (Osseous) Reduction
(4)

A
  • Determine if it is excess bone /excess soft tissue or combination of two.
  • Examine pre-op x-ray (Panoramic X-Ray necessary)
  • Locate floor of the sinus
  • Reasons for removal
    – Increase intra-arch space
32
Q

Surgical Removal of Palatal Tori
Clinical Examination:
(3)

A
  • Size of the Torus (How large is it ?)
  • How far has the palatal torus extended posteriorly?
  • Is the overlying mucosa on the top of the torus
    traumatized?
33
Q

Indications for Removal
(5)

A
  • Chronic irritation
  • Inability to construct prosthesis
  • Presence of deep undercuts
  • Interference with normal speech
  • The torus poses psychological problems (e.g., malignancy phobia)
34
Q

Surgical Removal of Tori & Exostoses

A
  • Use L.A.
  • Raising the thin flap is the most tedious portion of the surgery.
  • Assure hemostasis before wound closure.
