Q

How long must the flap be?

A

Long enough to retract without tension

17
Q

Where should a flap be repositioned?

A

Over sound bone

18
Q

When is the only time to sacrifice bone to get primary closure?

A

When the patient is scheduled to undergo radiation therapy

19
Q

Why are releasing incisions useful?

A

They help prevent tearing of flap

20
Q

Which incision heals faster, a long incision or a short incision?

A

Neither. They both have the same healing time because they heal across and not down their length.

21
Q

What can cause delay in the healing of an incision?

A

If the incision was too short and resulted in a tear

22
Q

Why do you have to reposition a flap over intact bone?

A

Otherwise unsupported flaps will breakdown and undergo a dehiscence

23
Q

What are 3 things rongeur and/or bone file are used for?

A
  1. Contour bone
  2. Remove bone excess
  3. Eliminate undercuts
24
Q

What are important for healing?

A

Bleeding edges. But remember raw edges fuse, so in a mouth burn, keep pt open with dentures to avoid their mouth fusing into a small orifice

25
Q

When is palatal torus surgery indicated?

A
  1. If it will be continually traumatized

2. If it will interfere with the palatal seal of a denture prostheses

26
Q

What should be done for post op healing after a palatal torus surgery?

A

Surgical stent or denture line with soft tissue conditioner

27
Q

What are 4 indications for mandibular tori removal?

A
  1. Interferes with major connector of partial denture
  2. Interferes with complete denture

  4. Aid denture retention/prevent irritation
31
Q

A
  1. Two hemostats grasping frenulum
  2. Make scalpel incision above the top hemostat and incision below the bottom hemostat resulting in a diamond shaped incision
