Par 2 Flashcards
Incisions to be Avoided?
- canine prominences
- region of mental foramen
- palatal vessels/nerves
- incisive papilla
- bony lesions
- major frena
- lingual of MD (vertical)
An envelop flap extends __ tooth/teeth anterior & __ tooth/teeth posterior to area of surgery.
An envelop flap extends 2 teeth anterior & 1 tooth posterior to area of surgery.
If relaxing incision required it should extend __ tooth/teeth anterior and __ tooth/teeth posterior to area of surgery.
If relaxing incision required it should extend 1 tooth anterior and 1 tooth posterior to area of surgery.
T/F? Incisions heal from side to side.
TRUE. Incisions heal from side to side–not end to end.
Flaps should be at least __ mm away from bony defect.
Flaps should be at least 5 mm away from bony defect.
What are the mandibular anatomical structures to avoid?
- lingual n.
- facial a.
- mental n.
- long buccal n.
- buccal a.
What are the maxillary anatomical structures to avoid?
- greater palatine vessels & nn
- incisive papilla
- nasopalatine n.
*A panoramic film is good for ___ year(s).
A panoramic film is good for 1 year(s).
*In the maxilla, the anatomic structure of import in removing posterior teeth is ___; in the mandible ___.
In the maxilla, the anatomic structure of import in removing posterior teeth is maxillary sinus; in the mandible inferior alveolar nerve.
What are the indications for surgical removal of erupted teeth?
- Failure of forceps extraction
- Probability of root fracture
- Proximity of significant adjacent structures
- To preserve supporting alveolar bone
How would you do surgical removal of maxillary cuspids?
- envelope flap
- remove elongated triangle of facial bone
- forceps & elevators
How would you do surgical removal of maxillary molars?
- envelope flap
- remove buccal bone–expose bifurcation
- section buccal roots (Start at bifurcation)
- remove crown w/ palatal root
- remove buccal roots
OR. - envelope flap
- section crown from roots
- divide roots
- remove roots individually
How would you do surgical removal of mandibular molars?
- divide crown/roots B/L (go 3/4 to 7/8 up t the occlusal surface w/ bur–to protect going thru the tongue)
- remove mesial & distal crown-root segments w/ forceps
OR - remove crown
- divide roots
- remove roots individually
When using elevators, where do you start?
At the MB line angle
For most instances, what are the most difficult teeth to extract?
Cuspids & 1st molars (I’m assuming he meant maxillary??)
How small is a root tip that can be left behind?
< 4-5mm
*List 3 potential indications for surgical removal of erupted teeth.
- failure of forceps extraction
- probability of root fracture
- proximity of significant adjacent structures
- to preserve supporting alveolar bone
*List 1 instance when a tooth planned for extraction should NOT be removed using an open surgical technique.
- Soft tissue attachment
- Elevators
- Forceps
- Your “other” hand
- Cuspids & 1st molars
*List 4 indications for extraction.
Possible answers: non-restorable caries, endo therapy won’t help, severe periodontitis, effects of trauma, impacted or supernumerary, ortho or prosth, cracked, malposed, pre-radiation therapy, associated with pathological lesion, esthetics & economics
*List 4 contraindications for extraction.
Possible answers: ANUG, post-radiation therapy, ASA IV, severity of pericoronitis (if red and sore extract), acute infections, and malignant tumors (remove tumor first or simultaneously)
*Why do you extract maxillary teeth before mandibular teeth in same appointment?
Debris from maxillary extractions can fall into open sockets of mandibular teeth if mandibular teeth are extracted first.
When you are doing a mandibular extraction, what position are you in? How should the occlusal plane be in relation to the floor?
7 - 8 o’ clock; MD parallel to floor
When you are doing a maxillary extraction, what position are you in? How should the occlusal plane be in relation to the floor?
7 - 8 o’ clock; 45-60 degrees (occ plane to floor)
- T/F? A lever transforms a small movement and large force into a large movement and small force.
FALSE. A lever transforms a large movement & small force to a small movement & large force.
- Using right angled elevator to remove the remaining residual mesial root fragment from 18, the mechanical principle involved is…?
wheel & axle
*If the working end of instrument at right angle to handle, what principle is being used?
Wheel and axle (Cryer elevator)
