Pre-Prosthetic Oral Surgery Flashcards
population that is edentulous
10% of american population
35% of those are above 65 years old
loss of dentition consequences
irregular alveolar ridge
undercuts
scarring
muscle interferes with denture stability
general goal of pre-prosthetic surgery
prepare the mouth to relieve a functional dental prosthesis
preserve hard and soft tissue
maxillary resorptionproblems
anteriorly - many times there is a concavity
posterior – problem with maxillary sinuse
mandibular resorption
knife edge ridge
- cortical bone - cant place implants there direcrtly without grafting
or grind down and place - but sacrifice knife edge
classification of edentulous jaws – general
I– VI
class I edentulous jaw description
dentate - still teeth
class II edentulous jaw description
immediately post-extraction
like good enough ridge to place something on right away
class III edentulous jaw description
convex ridge form, adequate in height and width
class IV edentulous jaw description
knife-edge form, adequate in height but INADEQUATE in width
class V edentulous jaw description
flat ridge form - inadequate height AND width
class VI edentulous jaw description
loss of basal bone which may be extensive but follows NO PREDICTABLE pattern
specific goals for pre-prosthetic intervention
- ridge should have adequate width, height, and U shape
- mucosa should have adequate UNIFORM thickness
- ridge without undercuts or sharpness
- no bony or soft tissue protruberence
- adequate buccal and lingual sulci depth
three broad overview of intra-oral examination
anatomical structures
- VISUAL
- PALPATE
- RADIOGRAPHIC EXAMINATION
visual inspection look at
ridge contour
undercuts
muscle atachment
soft tissue health
palpate?
denture bearing areas might reveal sharp bony areas
radiographic examination
need to rule out any bony pathologies
- if decided to leave retained roots, should be notified to patietn
retained roots usually are noticeable to the patient?
NO – 73-84% of the retained root fragments are seen on radiographic examination of edentulous patients, and majority of theem are present WITH NO ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS
prevelence of retained roots
11-37%
maxilla intra oral exam
evaluate for undercuts or bony protruberences
palatal tori
tuberosity
labial and buccal frenum
hyperpladstic tissue
inter arch distance
mandible intra oral exam
ridge form
contour
irregularities
buccal extoses
tori
muscle attachment
overclosure of the mandible?
might give the impression of a pseudo class III
normal resting position?
must evaluate patient in this as well to get the antero-posterior vertical relationship
also
- assymetries
- inter-arch distance
lateral ceph can
help determine anteroposteiror relation of the jaws
one of the most important determinants of success with complete dentures
soft tissue —health and quality
characterstics you want in soft tissue
healthy keratinized
firmly attached to the underlying bone
vestibule FREE of iflammation
muscle attachment low/ high to the alveolar crest
specific thing poited out that makes the denture base unstable?
hyperplastic tissue over the maxillary ridge — tissue will make the denture base unstable
implicationof labial frenum?
plasty
- reposition it if in way
treatment planning after?
intra and extra oral exams
tx planning outline
- medical and dx history
- concerns of the patient
- benefits and possible complications - intra/extra oral exam
- radiographi exam
- alternative treatment
- surgical procedures involving bone contouring or augmentatino should be addressed first, followed by soft tissue proceudres
surgical blades noted in armamentarium
15 and 11
bard parker scalpal handle and molt periosteal elevator
step 1 for immediate denture treatment
w/ notes
prophylaxis PRIOR to extractions
to MINIMIZE BLEEDING AND INFECTION PROBABILITIES
Step 2 for immediate denture treatment
w/ notes
complicated extractions
as bony changes may effect final impressions and denture fit
step 3 for immediate denture treatment
w/ notes
extractions of maxillary and mandibular molars
after extractions – allow 6 weeks for healing before making final impressoins
after extractions of molars wait?
6 weeks before final impressions
final impressions when
after the posterior extractions
step 5 for immediate denture treatment
w/ notes
model surgery
remove the teeth that are visible above the gingiva, contour gingival tissue, and remove undercuts
step 6 for immediate denture treatment
w/ notes
construction of clear surgical stent
will guide the surgeon during the preocedure for alveolar recontouring
- must make sure it is seated completely
post op instructions for immediate
antibiotics are usually UNNECESSARY
do NOT remove denture until follow-up with dentist (24 hours)
follow up with surgeon in 1 week
soft-tissue reline if needed
elliptical incision?
looked at the mandibular anterior
- raise a flap and eliminate tissue and bone
grind down with pinapple bur
be careful with pineapple bur?
yes – around cancellous bone – this is soft bone and this bur can remove too much if not careful
remove inter-proximal papilla?
is an option – then can remove the bone in the inter-ridge areas and smooth down
remove mandibular lingual extoses
make incision in bone towards buccal
full flap
so not too worried about lingual nerve
because incisoin on bone towards buccal and full buccal periosteal flapp - so lingual nerve on the other side
most alveolopplasty are done
on the maxilla and anterior mandible
alveoplasty definiotn
contouring the alveolar ridge to remove irregularities and under-cuts
goals of alveoplasty
provide stable base for prosthesis
preserve alveolar bone
pitfalls of alveoplasty
poor evaluation of the patient
- does the patient need bone reduction or augmentation?
poor communication with the dentist
- dentists goals and expectaions met?
tip of elevator has to be?
POINTED EDGE CONTACTING BONE
could damage tissue and nerves in area if dont
