Fracture fixation wiring techniques Flashcards
1
Q
- Identify this wiring technique.
A
Risdon. Note the primary wire is twisted on itself.
2
Q
- Identify this wiring technique.
A
Risdon. Note the primary wire twisted on itself, then the R and L sides tightened are together - bilateral placement.
3
Q
- Identify this wiring technique.
A
Essig. luxation of canine teeth repair. secondary loops around primary wire.
4
Q
- Identify this wiring technique.
A
Stout. Single wire, continuation of Ivy.
5
Q
- Identify this wiring technique.
A
Ivy. 2 teeth involved.
6
Q
- Identify this wiring technique.
A
Stout. Only one wire used, continuation of the Ivy loops.
7
Q
- Identify this wiring technique.
A
Essig. Note the secondary wires and unilateral application.
8
Q
- Identify this wiring technique.
A
Ivy. 2 teeth stabilizing each other.
9
Q
- When using the Stout loop technique, which side of the teeth are the loops placed on?
A
pick the side least likely to interfere with occlusion
10
Q
- What type of fracture is the Risdon wiring technique helpful in stabilizing?
A
Risdon is particularly good for rostral fx’s of the MN and MX
11
Q
- What is the Stout loop wiring technique indicated for?
A
More of a stand alone technique - its the Ivy loop continued over a greater distance of the dental arch.
