Q

2 indications for tooth sectioning + bur? 2 adv?

A
  1. i) resists elevation even after bone removal ii)divergents roots - i.e. no common path of removal
  2. i)less force & dec risk for damage ii)less bone needs to be removed - less damage/increased

Q

Purpose of suturing

A
  1. Reducing chance of infection
  2. Assists haemostasis and healing
  3. healing by primary intention so reduces scarring

Abs - can dissolve early
non-abs - need removal
Braided - can tear tissue/bacteria adhere
monofilament - weak

Q

3 types of bleeding and causes

A

**ITS NOT PRIM, SEC, TERT. REACTIONARY IS THE SECOND ONE!!!
primary = immediately after trauma, before clot forms
reactionary = 8-12 hours after surgery when vasoconstrictive effects of LA wear off
secondary = 7-10days due to infection produced enzymes dissolving clot

Q

Other 5 types of biopsies

A

Note: Excision, incision, punch, exfoliative - superficial lesions ——-fine needle cytology, fine needle core biopsy, trephine for deep

1) Punch biopsy - not used in mouth, rot can distort
2) exfoliative cytology - least representative/invasive
3) fine needle asp/non-asp cytology - no architecture
4) fine needle core biopsy - some architecture
5) trephines - architecture, but high risk bleed/damage

Q

solution to iatrogenic laceration (intra-op comp1/8)

A
  1. achieve hemostasis 2. suture 3. inform patient of incident
17
Q

Solution to fracture of maxillary tuberosity (intra-op comp 2/8)

A

1) stop immediately 2) take opg 3) refer to oral surgeon

18
Q

Solution to fracture of mandible (intra-op comp 3/8)

A

1) stop immediately 2) take opg 3) refer to oral surgeon

19
Q

7 Solution to excessive primary bleeding (intra-op comp 4/8)

A
  1. pressure
  2. clot stabilizing agent (surgicel/gelfoam)
  3. tranexamic acid
  4. sutures
  5. adrenaline
  6. bone wax
  7. electro-cautery
20
Q

2 possible solutions to root tip fracture (intra-op comp 5/8)

A

2 possibilities

1) <4mm, no infection/apical radiolucency, below lvl of bone–> Tx = leave
2) otherwise: Tx1 = nonsurg- rootpick Tx2 = surgical - conventional technique or Open window technique

21
Q

4 possibilities when it comes to tooth/bone fracture dislodged into soft tissue space (intra-op comp 6/8)

(max sinus value of root is <3mm, don’t confuse with root tip fracture which is <4mm)

A

POSSIBILITY 1 = CAN’T FIND AFTER SEARCHING
1) take chest x-ray to rule out aspiration

POSSIBILITY 2: under mucosa/into infratemporal/into submandibular:
1) massage back into socket 2) if unsuccessful –>refer to Oral surgeon

POSSIBILITY 3: INTO MAX SINUS (<3mm & not infected/apical patho)

1) attempt to retrieve
2) if unsuccessful –> leave and treat as OAC

POSSIBILITY 4: INTO MAX SINUS (>3mm or infected)
1) must retrieve –> enlarge socket

22
Q

Maxillary sinus involvement (intra-op comp 7/8).

i don’t know what an OAF is. I know OAC, but OAF is apparently when OAC becomes epithelially lined if not closed…. and its importance is that the epithelium has to be removed if flap surgery being done, so as to close over sound bone, not tissue at margins.

A

3 scenarios possible:

1) <2mm wide –> tx = sinus precautions
2) 2-6mm –> tx = 1)sinus precautions 2)surgicel/gel foam+suture 3)AB - augmentin or doxycycline
3) >6mm –> tx= 1)sinus prec 2)buccal flap adv (1st choice) OR pedicle flap 3)AB - augmentin or doxycycline

23
Q

IAN involvement (intra-op comp 8/8).

don’t know a tx, just refer to OS. It should have never happened in the first place.

A

7 signs of of IAN involvement
A) 4 root sign: darkening (key sign), deflection, narrowing, bifid
B) 3 canal signs: displacement (key sign), interruption, narrowing

24
Q

8 post-op complications of extractions

A
  1. Reactionary bleeding
  2. swelling (e.g. trismus)
  3. bruising
  4. infection/secondary bleeding
  5. alveolar osteitis
  6. MRONJ
  7. Osteoradionecrosis
  8. nerve damage
25
Q

Reactionary bleeding (post-op comp 1/8)

A
Cause = vasocontrictor of LA wearing off
Tx = will self-resolve
26
Q

Swelling (trismus) - more common in surgical exos (post-op comp 2/8)

A
Cause = 1)hematoma 2) muscle damage 3)too much LA injected into closed space
Tx = cold compress and monitor, self-resolves
27
Q

Bruising - common (post-op comp 3/8)

A
Cause = extravasated RBCs, common in elderly and patients on anticoags b/c they have trouble clotting.
Tx = will self resolve
28
Q

Secondary bleeding (post-op comp 4/8)

A
Cause = secondary infection
Tx = AB (Amoxicillin and metronidazole?)
29
Q

Alveolar osteitis (post-op comp 5/8)

A
Cause = clot dislodged, unknown etiology
Tx = 1)Alvogel optional (most common cause of foreign body rxn in dent) 2) analgesics

Typically resolves in a week (can take up to 2)

30
Q

MRONJ (medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw)
(post-op comp 6/8)

CAUSE IF ANTIRESROPTIVE DRUG = REMODELLING
CAUSE IF ANTIANGIOGENIC DRUG = ISCHEMIA

Pre-op risk assess
Post-op Diagnosis
Tx if Dx

Antiresorptive drugs = bisphos (alendronate, risedronate) + Rank-L inhib (denosumab aka prolia)

Antiangiogenic drug (zoledronic acid)

A

A) Pre-op risk assessment for referral- high risk if any of the following: 1)prev hx 2)>4y on Rank-L(e.g. denosamab)/bisp 3)currently on Rank-L(e.g. denosamab)/bisphos + extra risk fact

B) Post-op dx - 4criteria:

1) Current/prev tx w/ ANTIRESORPTIVES/ANTIANGIOGNEIC
2) exposed bone/bone probed through fistula
3) has persisted for >8w
4) no hx of radiotherapy or cancer (b/c its 100% more likely to be osteoradionecrosis or cancer causing resorb instead of meds)

Tx 
stage 0 (dx, but no necro) -->nothing
stage 1 (necro bone) -->CHX 
Stage 2 (necro bone + inf) --> CHX + AB + debride
Stage 3 (necro bone + maj inf) --> CHX + AB + resection
31
Q

Osteoradionecrosis (post-op comp 7/8)

A

Cause = radiation induced proliferation of endocytes narrowing BV–>ishemia –>necrosis. DOESN’T ALWAYS OCCUR, and if it occurs it could self-resolve in <3m.

Prevent by: don’t do surgery in radio field in the 2 weeks leading upto or 3 months after the radiotherapy

Dx criteria: 1)radiotherapy + no current cancer 2)persisting >3m

Tx: 1) debride bone back to bleeding margins 2)drugs to dilate BV

32
Q

Nerve damage (post-op comp 8/8)

A

Cause commonly IAN involvement or releasing cut of flap damaging lingual.

If temporary or injection related then monitor and should return back to normal

If severed or involvement–>refer to OS immediate to rejoin if possible.
