Routine Extraction Flashcards
Goals of using forceps (2)
- Expansion of bony socket
2. Tractional force (removal)
Six basic forcep moves
Apical buccal lingual rotational tractional circular
Which forcep movement is first?
Apical (expand bony socket)
When pressing crown buccally, what direction does root apex move?
Lingually
Which movements are only good on conical roots?
Rotational
figure of eight as well….
Key points of arm and hand positioning (3)
Elbow in
Straight wrist
-Palm Down (mandibular)
-Palm up (Maxillary)
Sequence of the 5 steps for routine extraction
- Loosen soft tissue attachment
- Luxation (Elevator)
- Adapt forceps
- Luxate WITH forceps
- Traction (final removal)
Step 1 loosen soft tissue:
What instrument?
Why is it done? (2)
Periosteal elevator (curette)
- Seating forceps more apically
- assures anestesia
Step 2 Luxation with elevator
Where is it positioned?
Technique? (2)
PERPENDICULAR btwn teeth
- STRONG, slow pressure
- inferior blade rests on and uses fulcrum of BONE
- With superior blade on extracted tooth.
Step 3 adapt forceps
Which beak applied first?
LINGUAL!!!!!!!! (harder to see)
Step 4 luxation with forceps
Where is the lingual bone NOT thicker than buccal?
Mandibular molars (the more posterior the thinner lingual bone)
Step 5 Removal of tooth from socket
*Be gentle should come out easily
Which direction is this delicate force applied?
Buccally
-clinically: follow growth pattern where possible
What is a pinch-grasp?
It is with your left hand, feeling on the buccal and lingual surfaces of alveolar bone. on MAXILLA
Why do you use a pinch-grasp? (3)
- Retract tissues
- Stabilize patients head
- Detect possible alveolar fractures
What a mandibular sling grasp?
Index and first finger are used same a pinch grasp and other fingers hold mandible extraorally.
-this helps stabilize mandible
What are two ways of protecting patient during a mand extraction?
- Bite block (mouth prop)
2. Mandibular sling grasp
Maxillay incisor root morphology
- central
- Lateral (2)
Central- long conical
Lateral- SLENDER and distal curve
Maxillary incisor Forcep selection (3)
- 150
- 1
- 99
Maxillary Canines (root morphology) (2)
Longest roots of all
ovoid: broader buccal-Lingually!
Maxillary Canines Alveolar bone*
The labial (facial/buccal) bone is quite thin and fractures easily!
