Q

*The first direction of force when extracting a tooth…?

A

apical

28
Q
  • The most frequently omitted step when extracting a difficult erupted tooth is…?
A

cutting a flap

29
Q

What teeth are #17 & #23 for?

A

mandibular molars

30
Q

What is the difference between #17 & #23 forceps?

A
  • # 23 can apply more pressure & can slip & lock into furcation; also if crown were to break, it’s more likely to fracture down the middle–can treat as 2 premolars, etc
  • # 17 cannot lock into furcation
31
Q

*Relaxing incision should be what distance from tooth being extracted?

A

1 tooth anterior and 1 tooth posterior to area of surgery, 5mm from tooth being extracted- ant segment

32
Q

*Which elevator is used as a “wheel & axle”?

A

Cryer elevator

33
Q

*T/F? When sectioning molar tooth for removal, start at occlusal and go towards bifurcation.

A

FALSE.

34
Q

*Name three reasons/indications for leaving a root tip.

A

Possible answers: no more than 4-5mm in length, no periapical pathologic infection, must be deeply imbedded in bone and not loose, and danger/risk of removal must outweigh not removing tip

35
Q

*Name three locations for a tooth to be pushed/misplaced during an extraction.

A

Possible answers: infratemporal fossa, maxillary sinus, submandibular space, inferior alveolar canal

36
Q

*T/F? When removing max molar, section and remove palatal root separately and remove buccal roots with crown.

A

FALSE

37
Q

*You have sectioned badly decayed #30 and removed the distal half of the tooth. There is no crown structure left. What elevator would be a good choice to use in a wheel and axle fashion to remove the mesial segment?

A

Cryer elevator

38
Q

*T/F? Puncture wounds are treated via debridement, primary closure, and antibiotic therapy.

A

FALSE.

39
Q

*What is the first line antibiotic for use in alveolar osteitis?

A

Antibiotics are not used for dry sockets.

40
Q

A patient calls your office 24 hrs after dentoalveolar surgery complaining of pain. The most likely cause is…?

A

dry socket

41
Q

Describe the alveolar bone surrounding the mandibular molars.

A

Variable; lingual often thinner!

42
Q

What are the types of flaps?

A
  1. envelope
  2. flaps w/ vertical relaxing incisions
  3. curved flaps
  4. pedicle flaps
43
Q

What are some possible causes to postoperative complications?

A
  1. poor access & visualization
  2. incorrect use of instruments
  3. poor technique
44
Q

T/F? The mandible has greater potential for swelling, problems, and post-op pain.

A

TRUE.
