OSM Extraction I and II Flashcards
What is the primary instrument for making incisions?
Scalpel w/ no. 15 blade held in a pen grasp
What is required once an incision is made and what is the best instrument?
Reflect tissue from underlying cortical bone in a single layer
What are 2 uses of the pointed end of No 9 Molt periosteal elevator?
- Begin periosteal reflection
2. Reflect dental papilla from between teeth
What is the use of the round end of the No 9 Molt periosteal elevator?
To continue elevation of periosteum from bone
What is the motion used for the pointed end No 9 Molt Periosteal Elevator?
Twisting prying motion commonly done when elevating dental papilla between teeth or attached gingival around tooth to be extracted
What are 2 reasons to use soft tissue retractors?
- Visibility during surgery
2. Protect soft tissue from sharp instruments
What are the 2 most popular cheek retractors?
- Austin retractor
2. Minnesota retractor
What is the most efficient stroke for the No 9 Molt periosteal elevator?
Push stroke with either blunt or pointed end to slide underneath periosteum to separate it from bone
Most common instrument used to retract the tongue during routine extractions?
Mouth mirror
What is the most common instrument to grasp soft tissue?
Adson forceps (primarily the anterior mouth)
What is used to grasp soft tissue in the posterior mouth?
Stillies forceps
For most dentoalveolar surgery what is the normal way to control bleeding?
Pressure. If more, use hemostats
What instrument is most commonly used for removing bone in dentoalveolar surgery?
Rongeur forceps
-bone cutting
How are rongeur forceps used?
Small biting motions to remove small bits of bone
What can be used to remove larger sections of bone more aggressively?
Burs in a high speed, high torque handpiece. No 557 fissure bur, No 703 fissure bur, No 8 round bur, or acrylic bur-like bur
In what motion do bone files only remove bone?
Pulling motion only
What instrument used to remove granulomatous tissue or cysts or any debris from a tooth socket?
Curette
How is a needle holder designed?
locking handle, short, stout beak with cross hatchings
Why can’t hemostat be used for suturing?
parallel grooves in beak decrease needle control
What is the design of a suture needle?
Curved to allow access with either a tapered tip or a triangular cutting tip
How is the suture needle held in the needle holder?
held approximately 2/3 distance between tip and needle base
How is the needle holder held by the operator?
Thumb and ring finger through rings with index finger along the length of the needle holders
How is suture material classified?
Diameter, resorbability, mono or polyfilament
What is necessary when extracting mandibular teeth to prevent stress on the TMJ?
Support mandible with Bite Block
Is surgical suction the same as general dental suction?
No it has a smaller orifice to more adequately remove fluid from site and avoid tissue injury by sucking tissue into orifice
What instrument is used to luxate teeth from the surrounding bone before applying forceps?
Elevators
What are 3 components of an elevator?
Handle, shank, blade
When is it best to use the straight elevators?
At the beginning of luxation of erupted tooth
When are triangular elevators (Cryers) best used?
when broken root remains and adjacent socket is empty
What motion is used with the Cryer elevators?
Wheel and axel
What instruments are used for removing tooth from alveolar bone?
Extraction forceps
