Q

Where are cowhorn forceps sput?

A

Down into furcation and we squeeze handle which goes into furcation and lifts tooth out (normal technique is mobilising teethe then extract with forceps)

Infrotn and to right

35
Q

What forceps do we use for lower left pre molars?

A

Lower universal forceps

36
Q

What position are we in to extract lower right pre molars?

A

behind and to right

37
Q

What forceps do we use to extract lower right pre molars?

A

lower universal forceps

38
Q

What forceps do we use to extract lower anterior teeth?

A

Lower universal forceps

39
Q

what position are we in to extract lower anterior teeth?

A

infront to right

or behind pt to right

40
Q

What position should pt be in for upper extractions?

A

Pt up high with pts head level to our shoulders

we stand to the front and right of the pt

41
Q

How should our elbows and arms be when extracting tooth?

A

straight as possible

42
Q

When extracting tooth what do we use non dominant hand for?

A

To support alveolus with thumb and index finger

43
Q

In teeth 1-5 what movement do we use?

A

primary rotational movement `(cork bottle) then secondary buccal to palatal movement to dilate the socket and deliver the tooth

44
Q

Why do we use buccal to palatal movement?

A

to dilate the socket and deliver the tooth

45
Q

What movement do we use in molar teeth?

A

Additional figure of eight movement

46
Q

Describe how to extract an upper right canine

A

position ourselves infant and to right of patient

take the straight upper anterior forceps or upper universal forceps

use non dominant left hand to retract the soft tissues and support the alveolus

then begin with apical pressure to ensure blades of forceps are on root surface

primary rotational movement (cork screw movement)

buccal to palatal movement

47
Q

Describe how to extract upper left 2nd premolar

A

position ourselves infrotn and to right of pt

select upper universal forceps

use non Dom hand to supportr soft tissue and alveolus

primary rotation movement

secondary buccal to palatal movement

deliver tooth

48
Q

How do we extract an upper 1st molar?

A

Infront and to right of pt

select upper molar forceps

use non Dom hand to support soft tissues and alveolar (thumb and index finger)

ensure upper molar forceps were BEAK TO CHEEK!!!!

apply firm apical pressure

primary rotational movement

secondary buccal to palatal

additional figure of 9 socket movement to deliver tooth

49
Q

What is different with chair position for lower extractions?

A

it is more reclined and low so pts head is level with our elbows

50

behind and to right of pt

51
Q

For lower left quadrant where do we stand when xla?

Q

What are elevators?

A

these are used to loosen the tooth
elevator instruments are used to luxate teeth, and this technique imparts forces to tooth particles that sever the periodontal ligament around tooth roots inside the socket and expand alveolar bone around tooth particles.

LUXATE THE TOOTH and minimise how much we break teeth

couplands

cryers

Warwicks

58
Q

What are couplands elevators?
