25
* Using right angled elevator to remove the remaining residual mesial root fragment from 18, the mechanical principle involved is...?
wheel & axle
26
*If the working end of instrument at right angle to handle, what principle is being used?
Wheel and axle (Cryer elevator)
27
*The first direction of force when extracting a tooth...?
apical
28
* The most frequently omitted step when extracting a difficult erupted tooth is...?
cutting a flap
29
What teeth are #17 & #23 for?
mandibular molars
30
What is the difference between #17 & #23 forceps?
- #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
*Relaxing incision should be what distance from tooth being extracted?
1 tooth anterior and 1 tooth posterior to area of surgery, 5mm from tooth being extracted- ant segment
32
*Which elevator is used as a "wheel & axle"?
Cryer elevator
33
*T/F? When sectioning molar tooth for removal, start at occlusal and go towards bifurcation.
FALSE.
34
*Name three reasons/indications for leaving a root tip.
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
*Name three locations for a tooth to be pushed/misplaced during an extraction.
Possible answers: infratemporal fossa, maxillary sinus, submandibular space, inferior alveolar canal
36
*T/F? When removing max molar, section and remove palatal root separately and remove buccal roots with crown.
FALSE
37
*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?
Cryer elevator
38
*T/F? Puncture wounds are treated via debridement, primary closure, and antibiotic therapy.
FALSE.
39
*What is the first line antibiotic for use in alveolar osteitis?
Antibiotics are not used for dry sockets.
40
A patient calls your office 24 hrs after dentoalveolar surgery complaining of pain. The most likely cause is...?
dry socket
41
Describe the alveolar bone surrounding the mandibular molars.
Variable; lingual often thinner!
42
What are the types of flaps?
1. envelope 2. flaps w/ vertical relaxing incisions 3. curved flaps 4. pedicle flaps
43
What are some possible causes to postoperative complications?
1. poor access & visualization 2. incorrect use of instruments 3. poor technique
44
T/F? The mandible has greater potential for swelling, problems, and post-op pain.
TRUE.
45
In the lecture notes, what is stated as the treatment for puncture wounds?
Copious irrigation, antibiotics, & NO SUTURING!
46
How would you fix a 2-6mm sinus perforation? Over 7mm perforation?
2-6mm: clot promotion (Gelfoam?) Over 7mm: reparative surgery (OMS?)
47
Can you ever leave a root fragment in the sinus?
Yes, if the fragment is small (2-3mm) & if the sinus and root tip are healthy.
48
What causes ecchymosis?
Caused by submucosal or subcutaneous oozing | - more common in elderly w/ inc'd capillary fragility
49
What causes trismus?
injection hematoma, hematoma in mm followed by fibrosis
50
What is the most common cause for subperiosteal infection?
inadequate flap debridement
51
What causes spicules/sequestra?
1. loss of periosteal blood supply 2. sharp unsupported bone 3. uncontrolled force
52
What nerve does not regenerate?
lingual nerve
53
What is the most common tooth for dry sockets?
third molars
54
Are dry sockets more common in the maxilla or mandible?
More common in the mandible bc the mandible relies on one large vessel while the maxilla is highly vascularized.
55
What is the perfect patient for not getting dry sockets?
- male or non-menstruating women not on BC pills - pre-op AB dose - pre-op rinse & for several days post-op - under 25 yrs old - non-smoke/drinker - no meds - tetracycline in site
56
Bacteria in the oral cavity are largely...
aerobic gram + organisms - Strep being the most common of them... - others: Bacteriodes melaniogenicus, Candida
57
In the nasal cavity, the most prevalent bacteria in children is...? In adults...?
Children: H. influenzae Adults: S. aureus - others: aerobic gram + (mainly strep)
58
What is the main bacteria of the maxillofacial skin flora?
Staphylococcus epidermidis - others: S. aureus from nose; Corynebacterium diphtheriae; Propionibacterium acnes
59
What is the bacterial flora below the clavicle like?
- S. epidermis - C. diphtheriae - Gram (-) aerobes, such as E. coli, Klebsiella, & Proteus - Anaerobic enteric organisms such as Bacteriodes fragilus
60
What is the vaccine for Hep B?
Heptavax
61
T/F? HIV is likely to be transmitted via saliva.
FALSE
62
What is sepsis?
the breakdown of living tissue by the action of MO's; usu accompanied by inflamm.
63
What are the conditions that make dry heat sterilization effective?
Dry heart at 285 F sterilizes in 3 hrs
64
What are the conditions that make moist heat sterilization effective?
Steam at 280 F sterilizes in 1.5 min
65
What are the conditions that make gas sterilization effective?
Ethylene oxide at 50 C in 3 hrs | - can destroy spores, but has toxicity to animal tissues
