Oral surgery Flashcards
basic functions of LA
2
prevent pain
reduce bleeding
how does LA work
blocks voltage gates Na channels
LA binds to site in Na channnels and blocks it
* preventing Na influx
this blocks action potential generation and propagation
blocks presist as sufficient number of channels are blocked
LA affects which type of axons
smaller diamter axons have fewer Na channels and are more suceptible to LA block
* e.g. A delta, C, A beta then A alpha
where are the sodium channels on a nerve
concentrated of nodes of Ranvier in myelinated axons
LA needs to act on several aong the axon
ester type LA
benzocaine
procain
cocaine
amide type LA
lidocaine
articane
prilocaine
bupivicaine
mepivicaine
vascocontrictors
purpose
acts locally to constrict Blood vessesl
reduce bleeding and blood flow to help increase duration LA works by holding LA in tissue (prevent wash out)
types of vasoconstricors in LA
2
adrenaline
felypressin
types of topical LA (2)
function
2% lidocaine gel
20% benzocaine
superficial soft tissue manipulation and surface anaesthesia
infiltration of LA
LA deposited beside nerve branches
inject distal to apex of tooth into mucogingival fold
nerve block
LA deposited beside nerve trunk
abolishing sensation distal to site
IDB technique
landmarks - pteygomandibular raphe, buccal fat pad, thumb on coronoid notch, fingers on external posterior border of mandible
needle advance from contralateral premolars, inject in 1cm above occlusal plane, advance till contact bone, withdraw slightly aspirate and deposite 2/3, 1ml/30secs
withdraw and deposit last 1/3 to get lingual nerve
how to check for numbness
ask pt - rubberly, tingle, numb, swollen, fat
IDB - to midline lip, inc tongue, buccal gingiva

how to manage facial palsy
test if brow can be raised/close eyes and raise arms - assess if stroke

principles of sugical access
5
- maximal access with minimal trauma
- preserve and protect soft tissues
- healing by primary intention (minimise scarring)
- tension-free wound closure
- flap margins on sound bone
ideal flap properties
8
- wide based crevicular incision using scalpel in 1 firm continous motion
- full thickness incision to bone (through mucoperiosteum)
- no sharp angles
- adequate size
- flap reflextion cleanly to bone
- minimise trauma to papillae
- no crushing of soft tissues
- keep tissues moist
purpose of soft tissue retraction
2
improve access to fiel
protect soft tissues from trauma
soft tissue retractors
4
Howarths
Wards
Minnestoa
rake retractor
instrument and methods of bone remoavl
electric straigh surgical handpiece with saline cooled tungsten carbide bur (round or fissure)
air driven can cause surgical emphysema
deep narrow gutter with mesial and distal extension
allows for correct application of elevators
why irrigate when accessing surgical site
prevents heat necrosis of bone
damage to soft tissue
clogging of bur
allows field to be kept clean of debris
why to we perform post surgical debridement
to remove dead, damaged or infected tissue to improve healing potential of remaining healthy tissue
methods of surgical debridement
surgical
mechanical - bone file, handpick, mitchells trimmer, victoria currette
chemical - saline
suction
purpose of sutures
approximate/reposition tissues
compress blood vessles
achieve haemostasis
cover bone
prevent wound breakdown
encougar heaillng by primary intention

nerves at risk in 3rd molar surgery
4
inferior alveolar nerve
lingual nerve

long buccal
unerupted tooth
tooth lying within jaws, entirely covered by soft tissue
and completely covered by bone
partially erupted
tooth failed to erupt fully into normal position
may not be seen but a communication with oral cavity exists
impacted tooth
tooth prevented from completely erupting into normal functional position
due to lack of space, obstruction, abnormal eruption path
reasons to remove 8
strong
* recurrent pericoronitis
* abscess
* periapical pathology
* unrestorable
* caries in 7 whcih cannot be adequately treated
* cyst/pathology formationn
* 8 causing resorption of 7
- active/previous infection
- medical history - (removal>retention)
- limited access to dental care - astronaut, mariner
contraindications to XLA 8
medical history preculdes extractions - bleeding
risk of surgical complications high - IDN
likely to have successful eruption and functional tooth in future if left
deeply impacted asymp tooth
possible reasons for prophylatic XLA of 8
- GA required for another reasons - so prevent future GA, if continual food trapping
- medical history - starting bisphophonates, before radiothearpy, cardiac surgery
- possible interference with implants or dentrues
angulation of impaction

superficial - 8 crown related to 7 crown
moderate - 8 crown related to 7 crown and root
deep - 8 crown related to 7 root

coronectomy
what
why
removal of crown of tooth with deliberate retention of roots
if roots appear closely involved/related to IDC on OPT or CBCT
risks re coronectomy
infection
pain
root may migrate and erupt - need another procedure
if roots mobilised need to remove whole tooth
contraindication to coronectomy
4
- mobile tooth/root
- non vital tooth (grossly carious)
- where sectioning puts nerve at risk (horizontal/disto angular impaction)
- immunocompromised pt

- diversion of IDC
- Diversion of roots of 8
- interuption of tramlines of IDC
- narrowing of IDC
- narrowing of roots
- juxta apical area
- darkening of roots where cross canal
- bifid, dark roots

pseudostratified ciliated coloumnar with globlet cells
function of sinus
voice resonance
reserve chamber for warming air
reduce weight of skull
3
cilia function
mobilise trapped particulate matter and foreign material within the sinus and move this towards teh ostia for elimiation into the nasal cavity
maxillary sinus opening
hiatus semilunaris
4mm
superior mesial border
can become blocked in infection
posterior wall of maxillary sinus contains
posterior superior alevolar nereves and vessels
