34
Q
  1. When should you do 2-point fixation of zygomatic fractures?
A

When fracture is minimally displaced, ZMC fracture remains stable after initial reduction w/ no palpable step deformity at infraorbital rim, minimal changes on orbital volume, globe displacement not evident on CT scan

35
Q
  1. When should you do 3-point fixation of zygomatic fractures?
A

When there is instability of fragments, exploration of orbital floor required

36
Q
  1. What is involved in lag screw fixation?
A

Drill one hole into solid bone with another hole in mobile fragment - allows the screw to engage deeper

37
Q
  1. What is involved in wire osteosynthesis?
A

Wires threaded through and cross fracture site; wire ends bound together → winding joint tips together → reduces fracture, immobilising fracture

38
Q
  1. What is involved in the fixation method using titanium plates and screws?
A

Screw directly into bone across fracture site to immobilise, bicortical screws maintaining plates across fracture line, support until bony healing occurred, choice depends on load required to withstand any overlying tissues to avoid exposure of thick plate over overlying mucosa

39
Q
  1. What shape is a zygomatic fracture often present as?
A

W – inwards

40
Q
  1. What can be used to temporarily stabilise the zygomatic fracture?
A

Urine catheter balloon

41
Q
  1. What is the difference between a Bristow and Rowe?
A

Bristow is a straight elevator and ZMC fracture is lifted laterally and superiorly; Rowe has a different hinge component, hinged handle used to approximate how deep you have entered and to pull so lower blade will do reduction

42
Q
  1. How do you perform a pre-op eye examination?
A

Basic: Visual acuity, visual fields, extraocular movements

Ophthalmology: Ocular motility test, visual acuity – Snellen chart, pupillary reaction by swinging flash light test , direct light reflex, indirect light reflex, visual field testing, assessment of neurosensory disturbances of infraorbital nerve → 2-point discrimination test

43
Q
  1. What is the incidence of SOFS?
A

0.3-0.8%

44
Q
  1. Which nerves are affected in SOFS?
A

Oculomotor, trochlear, abducent

45
Q
  1. What is the treatment of SOFS?
A

Conservative – observation

46
Q
  1. What are the presentations of SOFS?
A

Ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, proptosis, mydriasis, loss of accommodation, anaesthesia forehead/upper lid, anaesthesia cornea/nose bridge

47
Q
  1. What is the incidence of RBH + OCS?
A

1%

48
Q
  1. What are the symptoms of RBH + OCS?
A

Globe pain, diplopia

49
Q
  1. What are the signs of RBH + OCS?
A

Proptosis, conjunctival chemosis, subconjunctival haemorrhage, tense globe to palpation, reduced visual acuity, sluggish pupil response, relative afferent pupillary defect, ophthalmoplegia

50
Q

How do you manage RBH + OCS?

A
  1. Non-surgical immediate management to reduce pressure in eye – fluid deplete, mannitol, acetazolamide, steroids; surgical – lateral canthotomy, slit in lateral canthus of eye, blunt dissection to relieve pressure within globe
51
Q
  1. What type of fracture is a mid-face fracture?
A

Complex

52
Q
  1. What are the simple classifications of mid-face fractures?
A

Greenstick, open/closed, complicated, comminuted, direct, indirect, orbital, pan-facial

53
Q
  1. What happens to the teeth when there is trauma to the mid-face?
A

Minimal posterior displacement due to intercuspal position but anterior open bite tendency

54
Q
  1. In the case of an extreme mid-face trauma where there is downward and backward displacement; why may that be a problem?
A

This can cause change of architecture of soft palate by pushing it down towards dorsum to tongue → limitation to airway, soft tissue compounded by sub (under) tissues swelling, bleeding within nasopassages of nares

55
Q
  1. How do you classify mid-face fractures?
A

Le Fort

56
Q
  1. Why is an anterior open bite possible in LF I fracture?
A

Because persistent muscle attachment of lateral and medial pterygoids to the pterygoid plates and maxillary tuberosity → tendency to pull segment post + ant → fracture of maxilla → IO haematoma + palatal haematoma → fractured teeth cusps → occlusal discrepancy → AOB

57
Q
  1. What type of sound is produced when tapping and upper tooth in a LF I trauma resulting in AOB?
A

‘Cracked pot’ percussion

58
Q
  1. What are the boundaries/bones involved in a LF II fracture?
A

Entire maxilla, part of nasal bone, lower part of pterygoid plate, nasal septum, palatine bones, dentoalveolar segment, medial 1/3 of orbital rim, inf part of pterygoid plates

59
Q
  1. What are the boundaries of a LF III fracture?
A

Nasofrontal suture, maxillofrontal suture, orbital wall, zygomatic arch + zygomaticofrontal suture

60
Q
  1. What type of fracture is involved in a LF III fracture?
A

Transverse fracture line; Separates both zygomaticomaxillary complexes, Craniofacial distraction; Zygoma, maxilla, palatine bones, nasal bones, nasal septum separated from cranial base; High chance of tear of dura + CSF leak

61
Q
  1. How to remove bone using burs
A

Remove bone w/ round bur to create a narrow gutter MB, avoiding adj roots

Change to fissure bur to deepen gutter cuz you want a narrow rather than wide gutter

For M3M, mostly buccal removed, lingual plate not touched d/t fear of damaging lingual nerve

Stop mesially, don’t kena 7

When cutting, cut from posterior to anterior, use finger rest, retract soft t/s so that soft t/s not caught by shank of bur

62
Q
  1. How to remove bone using chisels
A

Far more destructive → more post op pain and swelling

Lingual split technique → no longer used

63
Q
  1. How to raise a triangular flap
A

Distal reliving incision @ ascending ramus

1 unit length

Pericoronal incision cutting thru alveolar crest fibres including papilla b/w 7 and 8

Mesial relieving incision down from 7 to depth of sulcus

64
Q
  1. How to raise an envelope flap
A

No mesial relieving incision, only distal relieving incision

Ix – pericoronal pathology, e.g. cyst, or x sure how much have to remove

So can extend pericoronal release up to distal of 6

😊 can keep extending if required, just need more sutures at the end

Distal relieving incision @ ascending ramus

Pericoronal incision cutting thru alveolar crest fibres round 8 & extends all around 7

65
Q
  1. How to do atraumatic elevation
A

Free up gingival margin then retract

Use periosteal elevator around gingival margins

Then Howarths / Rake retractor to retract buccal flap

The more traumatic, the most post op pain & swelling

66
Q
  1. How to raise a lingual flap
A

X routinely recommended

But if DA 8, tooth will move into soft t/s → reimpact so possible lingual flap only if clinician is experienced

w/ Howarths / Mitchells / Molt to protect lingual nerve in selected case only

67
Q
  1. How to do coronectomy
A

Remove crown, leave roots in place

If roots are mobile at the time of coronectomy → remove

Consent – plan to coronect but removal may be unavoidable (coronectomy +/- roots removal + risk of infection, migration / risk of lips numbness if doing conventional whole tooth XLA)

68
Q
  1. Why avoid unfavourable rotation of apex into IDB
A

Can depress into canal 🡪 damaging contents of bundle → altered sensation

69
Q
  1. Why must flap rest on bone after surgery
A

To avoid wound breakdown

(flap supported by bone, not sitting on blood clot)

70
Q
  1. What is the most important suture for M3M SR
A

The one placed from buccal tissue to lingual tissue immediately distal to 7

Approximate soft tissue on distal of 7 (mesial papilla on B aspect to DL mucosa behind 7

Encourage good perio health and recovery

71
Q
  1. What are the 2 theories for lack of space (causes of canine impaction)
A

Becker 1981 – loss of guidance plane on lateral incisor (DL), e.g. any interference of the guidance, e.g. peg lateral, absence, traumatised, supernumerary

Peck 1994 – genetic factor – polygenetic, polyfactorial

72
Q
  1. How does trauma cause disturbance in tooth germ axis
A

Leads to dilacerated tooth (root formed at a distinct angle to tooth crown)

Inhibit eruption of tooth completely

73
Q
  1. Why does canine impaction lead to resorption of incisor roots
A

Close relationship with lateral incisor

More likely to be a/w canine that is almost in line of arch (superficial canine – not high in position)

Incidence unknown up to 12.5%

74
Q
  1. Why does canine impaction lead to cystic change
A

Expansion of follicular space → dentigerous cyst

Cyst can change resorption of adj root / overlying bone → eventually perforate thru overlying mucosa & become infected → symptom

75
Q
  1. What to do if conservative treatment option is opted and deciduous canine is kept
A

Primary teeth memang less mineralised

Can be build up to be more bulbous

But primary mmg has short root

So poor crown root ratio ☹

So deciduous tooth appearance might not be satisfactorily in long term

76
Q
  1. What are the favourable qualities for exposure and alignment of impacted canine?
A

Not grossly displaced w/ favourable root morpho

Not too high up cuz too high – long path of eruption

Root morpho – x convergent / divergent / bulbous; conical single has best result

77
Q
  1. What are the 2 exposure techniques for impacted canine
A

Open technique – apical repositioned flap / palatal window

Closed technique – ortho bracket & gold chain → ortho traction activated by orthodontist

78
Q
  1. Indications of autotransplantation
A

Poor pt compliance / limited Tx time desirable

Poorly positioned canine w/ ankylosis – little trauma & in whole

79
Q
  1. How to perform autotransplantation
A

Open apex desirable – some change of re-establishment of blood supply in new position

Need adequate space and bone

Flap same as surgical exposure & removal

Access as for removal but atraumatic elevation avoiding contact w/ PDL / root, tooth parked in t/s whilst prepare socket w/ bur or chisels

Parked = under flap of socket just raised so kept moist but be careful not to accidentally swallow / ingest the tooth

Socket ‘friction fit’ avoiding heat generation

Minimal time >10mins

May require splint immobilisation

80
Q
  1. Outcome of autotransplantation
A

HIGH failure rate 30% over 9 years d/t poor surgical technique

Internal resorption 🡪 perform RCT post op

External root resorption – particularly if excessive force on tooth in socket

Replacement root resorption, root replaced by bone until exfoliates

Infection

81
Q
  1. What’s more important than autotransplantation
A

Space maintenance w/ cantilever bridge / plate

Evaluate bone level / height – did bone removal in SR compromise the Tx plan? Need grafting?

82
Q
  1. Disadvantages of doing apical repositioning flap for incisor exposure
A

Jeopardises gingival contour when tooth spontaneously aligns

Exposed root 🡪 tooth surface loss & sensitivity once impacted tooth erupts

83
Q
A
