Instruments in Oral Surgery II Jan 25, 2008
RCT=Brittle • Remember-older RCT-easier to break • Flap it, trough it, remove it
Forceps • Adapt to the anatomic crown • Older patients bone is more dense, not elastic • We want to dilate the bone to remove the tooth • Best time to remove thirds, 16-20 years old • The bone can expand better
Forceps • Remember to look at the roots • Path of the roots=draw • Hypercementosis-won’t come out easily • Know the difference between surgical and routine (look at handout)
88R & 88L • Use only if furcation involvement • Younger patients won’t have furcation • Can fracture the buccal plate, palatal plate and crush mucosa
#23 Cowhorn • Furcation of mand. Molar • Can fracture lingual plate, break roots, etc • Make sure to compress! • Buccal and lingual movements • Seat the beaks and “pump” them closed • Rock them mesiodistally as well, then figure of 8
Elevators • Used as wedges or shoehorns (displacement) down into the PDL and tear the fibers • Used as a lever- (most common way to use them) • Used in socket (wheel and axle)
Elevators • Easier to remove root fragments and tips post-elevator use, rather than attempting to remove tooth with forceps alone • Otherwise, will need to reflect a flap and remove surgically
Crane Pick • Wheel and axle • Fulcrum on buccal bone • Bury tip into cementum • Usually needs purchase point • Roll the root out • Not for Max 3rds
Apex Elevator • Remove roots where the PDL has already been torn • Can perforate into the sinus
Oral-Antral Perforation & IA canal • If potential for damage to the sinus or mandibular canal; • May leave the root tip, UNLESS potential for infection, then must remove them • Third molars, let them be, they are most likely not infected
Oral-Antral Perforation • National Board Question: • NEVER enlarge the apical area to remove a root tip that has been shoved into the sinus • This will create an oral-antral fistula
Oral-Antral Perforation • 1st- Get X-ray • To make sure if it is in the sinus • To know whether the sinus will heal or not depends on: • 1) Size of the perforation • 2) Infection or not
Caldwell-Luc Procedure • This is the procedure used to retreive a root tip from the sinus • Make an envelope over the cuspid and bicuspid • Make a window into the lateral wall of the sinus • Remove the tip and close the flap • Get primary closure of the margins • Place the patient on antibiotics • Place the patient on decongestants • Give patient strict instructions regarding disturbing pressures
Allison Clamp • Has rat teeth to remove tuberosity reduction, (this is not a tuberosity reduction surgery, if you wondered) but those are Allison clamps
Hemostats/clamps • Clamping vessels • Remove pieces of roots and bone • NOT used to drive a needle
Adson Forceps • “Pickups” control tissue
