Oral Surgery Flashcards
Mandibular Fractures from least common to most
Coronoid process 1% Ramus 2% Alveolar Process 3% Body 16% Symphysis 22% Angle 24% Condyle 29%
Impacted tooth
one that fails to erupt in the expected window of time
unerupted tooth
impacted teeth, and those in the process of erupting
Impacted third molar difficulty based on angulation impaction from easiest to most difficult
Mesioangular (easiest)
Horizontal
Vertical
Distoangular (hardest)
3rd molar impaction classifications
1, 2, 3, A, B, C
1 = completely outside of the ramus 2 = less than 1/2 in the ramus 3 = more than 1/2 in ramus A = at occlusal plane B = above CEJ, below occlusal plane C = below CEJ
Treatment for torn flap
repair the tear
treatment for puncture wound
leave the puncture open
ORIF
open reduction internal fixation
lay a flap, position fracture, and screw into place
used for fractures that are mobile and teeth are repositioned
CR-MMF
closed reduction maxillo-mandibular fixation
Le fort 1 fracture
horizontal fracture of the maxilla at the level of nasal fossa
le fort 2 fracture
pyramidal fracture of the maxilla, including nasal bones and the medial orbit
le fort 3 fracture
fracture through the maxilla, zygoma, nasal bones, orbit, ethmoid, base of skull
what is apertognathia
anterior open bite
macrogenia
large chin
how is trigeminal neuralgia treated
anticonvulsant drugs and microvascular decompression
how is odontalgia treated
endo or EXT
how is post herpetic neuralgia treated
anticonvulsants and antidepressants
features of tension headaches
squeezing
non-throbbing
mild-moderate severity
features of cluster headaches
associated with agitation
episodic, localized, retro-orbital pain, ipsilateral lacrimation and ptosis
features of temporal arteritis
squeezing refractory pain, jaw caludication, visual disturbance
C-reactive proteins
high ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate)
Arterial Dissection features
neck pain +- cerebral ischemia
encephalitis/meningitis features
diffused generalized headache
confusion
fever
nuchal rigidity (can flex neck)
Cerebral hemorrhages features
abrubt severe headache
focal persistant neurological deficit
+- nausea and vomiting
Subarachnoid hemorraghes features
sudden explosive headache
nuchal rigidity
+- focal neurological deficit
+- nausea and vomiting
post herpetic neuralgia features
severe localized burning pain that conforms to dermatomal pattern
rash or skin discoloration
reversible cerebral vasoconstriction features
mostly in females
history of migranes, pregnancy, or vasoactive drugs
sudden onset, severe and recurrent headaches
nausea, vomiting, photophobia, confusion, visual blurring
exacerbated by valsalva
Inoculation phase of odontogenic infection
first 3 days of symptoms
soft, mildly tender, doughy swelling
Cellulitis phase of odontogenic infectino
after 3-5 days
swelling becomes hard, red, indurated, and acutely tender
Abscess stage of odontogenic infection
after 5-7 days
anaerobes dominante
liquefied abscess in the center of the swollen area
Resolution stage of odontogenic infection
abscess drains spontaneously or surgically drained though the skin or mucosa
immune system takes over, healing begins
Treatment principles for odontogenic infection
- determine severity of infection
- Evaluate the patients defense mechanism
- Should I refer?
- Surgical Treatment (drain and remove cause)
- support the patient medically
- Choose appropriate antibiotic
- Post operative evaluation and assessment
