Periotomes, Lexators and elevators Flashcards
As we move from the anterior teeht to the posterior teeth what is the difference in buccal plate thickness
Anterior buccal plate is thinner
Posterior buccal plate is thicker
Is the cortical plate thick or thin?
Thick
As we get older or when we do extractions what happens to the mandible?
Gets thinner
What are the 3 principles of exodontia?
Expansion of bony socket
Separation of the attachment of the periodontal ligament
Separation of the attachment of the gingival soft tissue
During post extraction healing the alveolar ridge undergoes what amount of horizontal loss and vertical reduction?
Horizontal loss - 3.8mm
Vertical reduction 2.4mm
Post extraction does the buccal or lingual plate exhibit more resoption?
Buccal
Which of these can impact the healing process?
A. Medical history
B. Social history
C. Dental History
Medical History
What are the 4 key stages to healing?
- Angiogenesis
- Bone formation
- Bone growth
- Re-organisaion of bone
in the first 24-48 hours of healing what occurs?
Clot formation
Fibrin meshwork
In the first 7 days of healing what occurs?
24 - 48 hours - clot formation and fibrin meshwork
7 days - Epithelial migration over the socket
Clot becomes granulation tissue
In the first 20 days of healing what happens?
Granulation tissue becomes collages and early bone
In the first 8 weeks what happens in healing?
Bone marrow occupies the socket replacing woven bone
Extraction of teeth causes trauma, what happens post trauma?
Haemorrhage, bleeding into the socket, platelet aggregation, clot formation
After 2-3 days inflammatory cells migrate and new tissue starts to form
During angiogenesis what occurs?
Healing from the base of the socket upwards
Last area to heal is the top of the mucosa
It takes 6 months for bone to fully reorganise
