32
Q

What are the 3 basic components of extraction forceps?

A

Handle, hinge, beak

33
Q

What is the design of extraction forcep beaks?

A

Designed to adapt to tooth root near junction of crown and root

34
Q

What are the extraction forcep beaks designed to grasp : the root or the crown?

A

Root

35
Q

Maxillary extraction forcep beaks designed how?

A

Single rooted teeth, and teeth with 3 roots

36
Q

Why not have a maxillary forcep designed for two rooted teeth due to the maxillary first premolar commonly having two roots

A

The 2 roots normally occur in the apical 1/3

37
Q

After luxation, Maxillary single rooted teeth are removed with what?

A

Maxillary universal forceps No 150

38
Q

No 150 Maxillary universals can be used on what teeth?

A

Maxillary central incisors, maxillary lateral incisors, Maxillary canines, maxillary premolars

39
Q

Modified No 150 used for premolars because its beak has benn modified to be more parallel

A

150A

40
Q

These maxillary forceps can be used for maxillary incisors and canines. They are straight.

A

No 1 forceps

41
Q

What is the morphology of the maxillary molar roots?

A

3 rooted, 1 palatal root and a buccal bifurcation

42
Q

How must a maxillary molar extraction forcep be designed to accommodate this root morphology?

A

have smooth concave beak for palatal root and pointed beak to engage buccal bifurcation

43
Q

Due to their design, how are Maxillary molar extraction forceps presented?

A

in pairs (right and left)

44
Q

What are the most common maxillary molar forceps?

A

No 53 right and left

45
Q

These are a variation for Maxillary molar extraction with longer more accentuated beaks. Still presented as pairs.

A

No 88 right/left upper cowhorn forceps

46
Q

What is a problem associated with No 88 Upper cowhorn forceps?

A

Crush crestal alveolar bone and can remove large portion of buccal plate

47
Q

What are English forceps?

A

Vertical hinge and vertically positioned forceps

48
Q

What is required in the design for mandibular extraction forceps?

A

Beaks that can be used for single rooted teeth (incisors, canines, premolars) and 2 rooted teeth (molars)

49
Q

Forceps most commonly used for mandibular single rooted tooth extraction

A

No 151 Lower universal forceps

50
Q

Modified No 151 for mandibular premolar teeth with more parallel beaks. Only to be used on mandibular premolars

A

No 151A

51
Q

What is the risk with using the English forceps on mandibular anterior single rooted teeth?

A

Can generate great force and increase risk of root fracture

52
Q

What is the root morphology of the mandibular molars?

A

Two rooted with bucco-lingual bifurcation

53
Q

What does the single bucco-lingual bifurcation on mandibular molars mean for the presentation of the mandibular molar forceps?

A

Only need one, don’t need a right and left like maxillary because mandibulars lack a palatal root

54
Q

What is the design of mandibular molar forceps?

A

Straight handles with beaks set obliquely downward with pointed tips to engage buccal and lingual bifurcations

55
Q

What is the commonly used mandibular molar forceps?

A

No 17

56
Q

What is an alternate to the no 17 molar forceps?

A

No 87 cowhorn forceps

57
Q

How are No 87 Cowhorns used?

A

Once seated, the handles are pumped up and down while handles are squeezed together to squeeze the tooth out of the socket

58
Q

What are the 5 general steps for exodontias?

A
  1. Loosen soft tissue around tooth (#9 Molt)
  2. Luxate tooth with elevator
  3. Adapt forceps to root
  4. Luxate tooth with forceps
  5. Remove tooth from socket w/ gentle traction
59
Q

Are the 5 steps considered together or separately and can some be skipped?

A

Consider as separate steps. Some may be modified/omitted as situation dictates

60
Q

What instrument and how is it used to luxate the tooth?

A

small straight elevator (#301) using bone as fulcrum, not adjacent teeth

61
Q

Which beak is normally seated against the tooth root first: buccal or lingual?

A

Lingual

62
Q

When luxating the tooth with forceps, what direction is the pressure applied, and which way is lateral movement made first: buccal or lingual?

A

Srong apical pressure, luxate to buccal first, then lingual, then alternate

63
Q

Is initial luxation aggressive or gentle?

A

Gentle

64
Q

What is the pressure and direction a tooth is removed from the socket with the forceps?

A

Gentle traction, normally toward the buccal

65
Q

What are 2 things luxation does for extraction?

A

Expand socket Disrupt PDL

66
Q

Are teeth ever removed by “pulling” them?

A

No

67
Q

What is done finally with the extraction site after the tooth is removed?

A

debride any granulation tissue, check and smooth any bony margins, suture if necessary

68
Q

What are three reasons a suture is required after surgery?

A
  1. control bleeding
  2. Hold something in the socket (e.g. Gelfoam)
  3. Position tissue
69
Q

What are 4 considerations for the order of extraction?

A

Maxillary first
Posterior first
Most difficult first/ or last
Symptomatic tooth first, especially if doubt entire procedure can be completed in one appointment

70
Q

What are the three forces applied to teeth?

A
  1. Luxation
  2. Rotation
  3. Traction
71
Q

When removing a tooth, what should the operator be doing to the alveolus with his non-extracting hand?

A

Stabilizing alveolus w/ thumb and forefinger on either side of ridge

72
Q

What is the general guideline for patient positioning for the extraction of Maxillary teeth?

A

Pt semireclined w/ maxillary occlusal plane 60 deg to floor at elbow height of operator. Chairback approximately 120 deg from horizontal(180 deg, with upright being 90 deg)

73
Q

What is the general guideline for patient positioning for the extraction of Mandibular teeth?

A

Pt more upright so mandibular occlusal plane near parallel w/ floor, height at elbow level or lower for operator comfort. Chairback approximately 110 from horizontal(180 deg, with upright being 90 deg)

74
Q

What is the ultimate guide for positioning of operator /how one plans to remove the tooth?

A

Always consider the root and crown anatomy of the tooth to be removed

75
Q

What is the movement normally used with single rooted teeth, especially if conically shaped root?

A

Rotation/traction

76
Q

which forceps are especially useful for grasping teeth that are loose in the mouth?

77
Q

a heavy instrument used to elevate whole roots or even teeth after purchase point has been prepared
