Presentation Transcript

  1. RIDGE CORRECTION • Alveoloplasty • Tuberosity reduction • Removal of tori • Maxillary • Mandibular • Removal of maxillary tuberosity and exostoses

  2. Alveoloplasty “Surgical recontouring of alveolar process” Purpose to take care of bony projections, sharp crestal bone or undercuts

  3. Types • Simple alveoloplasty • Intraseptalalveoloplasty • dean’s alveoloplasty • Obwesenger’s modification 3. Post-extraction alveoloplasty

  4. 1) Simple alveoloplasty procedure

  5. 2) Intraseptalalveoloplasty • Dean’s interseptalalveoloplasty • Only done in maxillary anterior region to reduce gross maxillary overjet • Mostly done immediately after extraction of anterior teeth • Obwesenger’s modification • Both labial and palatal cortices are repositioned • Done when anterior overjet is too gross that cannot be reduced by labial plate repositioning

  6. 3) Post-extraction Alveoloplasty • Done in region where extractions are done at different times • So in this case multiple areas will show sharp edges which are painful to touch • Here crestal incision is taken and mucoperiosteal flap is elevated for trimming the sharp edges and subsequent suturing is done

  7. Removal of palatal torus • Palatal tori usually present on midline of hard palate • Composed of cortical bone and may have cancellous component • Palatal tori may interfere with denture retention

  8. Indications: • Extremely large torus filling the palatal vault • Torus that extend beyond posterior dam area • Traumatized mucosa over torus • Deep bony undercuts that interfere with denture insertion and stability • Interference with function • Psychological considerations (e.g:malignancy phobia)

  9. Removal of mandibular tori • Torus mandibular is an exostosis found on lingual surface of mandible opposite the canine and premolar region • Usually bilateral, maybe single, multiple or lobulated

  10. Indications: • Tori causing lingual undercuts and interfere with lingual flange extension of planned prosthesis • When mucosal covering is ulcerated • Large tori interfering with speech and deglutition

  11. Maxillary tuberosity and exostosis removal • Main reason for tubercle overgrowth - extraction of opposing mandibular 3rd molars and subsequent of supraeruption of maxillary 3rd molar, where remains as bony overgrowth after maxillary 3rd molar extraction • Maxillary tubercle interfere with denture construction because it reduce inter-arch space
