Q

How to use forceps

A
  1. Seat forceps by applying force apically

20
Q

Indications for open extraction

Not mobile
Risk of removal> leaving it
Inform and counsel pt.

A

FALSE

24

Crown?
50% of root?
Average?

A

Crown - 14
50% of root - 16

M-angular
D-angular
Horizontal
Vertical

26
Q

Therapeutic vs prophylactic indication for 3rd molar removal

A

T: treat active process/disease
P: prevent future disease

27
Q

Indications for removal of third molars

A
Pericoronitis
Caries
Pathological resorption
Pathology
Eruption pain
Crowding
Post-ortho
Orthographic surgery
In line of a mand. Fracture
Perio
Lack of att. Ging
28
Q

Why is it hard to pull 3rd molars in old people

A
Highly calcified bone, less flexible
Slower recoop
Mand. Fracture easier
Non resolving Pins and needles 
Osteomyelitis and infection easier
29
Q

Order of which teeth get extracted the most

A

Man 3rd > max 3rd > max canine > man PM > Man canine > max PM > max CI > Max LI > man 2nd molar

30
Q

A

12 hrs after surgery

31
Q

The first analgesic should be taken _

A

Before local wears off

32
Q

33
Q

Don’t prescribe more than _ worth of pain meds

A

3 days

34
Q

Two options for meds post surgical extraction

A

10 of:

Tramadol 50 mg
Norco 5 mg/325 mg (hydrocodone/acetaminophen)

35
Q

Peak swelling post surgery

A

36-48 hrs

36
Q

T/F post op infection diagnosis can be made over the phone

A

FALSE

37
Q

4 stages of wound healing cascade and main cell of each

A

Hemostasis - platelet
Acute inflammation - granulocytes
Proliferation - monocyte/macphage
Remodeling - fibroblast

38
Q

What happens in the 4 stages of wound healing

A

Hemo - stop bleeding

Inflammation - stabilize clot, signal to cells to clean up wound

Proliferation - collagen and caps form on fibrin, provisional matrix where bone can form

Remodeling - woven bone replaces collagen, then mature bone

39
Q

Normal healing timeline

A

1: mild-mod discomfort
3: socket healed over

4-6: lamina dura to resorbed radiographically

40
Q

Things that mess up healing time (6)

A
Bad hygiene
Bony pathology
Smoking
Radiation
Anti-resorptive drugs
Suppression of host defenses

BRASSB

41
Q

Dry socket:

A

Loss, lysis, or breakdown of the blood clot prior to its maturation into granulation tissue

42
Q

Things that increase risk for dry socket

A

Mandibular tooth
Smoking
Oral contraceptive
Pericoronitis

43
Q

Osteomyelitis:

A

Bone infection. Medical and surgical issue, can lead to significant morbidity
