Q

Post extraction instructions

A
  • no smoking for 24hrs
  • explain LA wearing off etc (3-4hrs)
  • swelling normal, worst 2-3 days after
  • sudden pain increase after few days = infection so contact us
  • bruising normal - lasts two weeks
  • mouth opening can be restricted for about a week
  • if stitches, should fall out and disappear after 7-10 days (unless told otherwise)

Q

Extraction immediate post operative complications: pain / swelling / ecchymosis

(what makes worse)

Study These Flashcards
A

Pain
- exposed bone
- rough handling soft tissue
- incomplete extraction

Rest:
- Rough handling of soft tissue
- Pulling flaps
- Tearing periosteum

24
Q

Extraction immediate post operative complications: trismus

(cause, treatment)

25
Extraction immediate post operative complications: haemorrhaging - short term and long term causes - treatment
.
26
Extraction immediate post operative complications: nerve damage (types and symptoms)
27
Extraction immediate post operative complications: dry socket - how occurs? - predisposing factors? - symptoms? (3) - when happens and how long lasts? - how manage?
Predisposing factors - vasoconstrictor (smoking), the pill, mandible
28
Extraction immediate post operative complications: infected socket - effects
Rare Effects - pus - bleeding - delayed healing
29
Extraction Long term post operative complications: OAF chronic Diagnosis methods Treatment (small and large)
30
Extraction immediate post operative complications: sequestrum - effect
- delays healing - quite common
31
Extraction Long term post operative complications: MRONJ - cause (2) - where occurs and how bad? - management - prevention
summary - bisphosphonates (zalondonic acid / alendronic acid), angiogenic, antiresorptive drugs - both jaws, extreme or mild - antibiotics if pus, chlorohexidine mouth wash, debridement, sequestrectomy - AVOID extractions if medications, extractions in primary care setting
32
Extraction Long term post operative complications: ORN (cause, prevention and treatment)
33
Extraction Long term post operative complications: Osteomyelitis - what is it, what it causes and how it causes this - predisposing factors - what is typical of this and allows for diagnosis - treatment (What, risk, diagnosing, treatment)
summary - infection of cancellous bone causing increased hyrostatic pressure = lower blood flow = necrosis of hard and soft tissues - predisposing factors = immune issue / mandible fracture - typical - moth eaten appearance radiographically and involucrum treatment - penicillins and debridement of necrotic tissue
34
Extraction Long term post operative complications: IE (Risks and why)
predisposing risk factors - past rheumatic fever (= heart vegetations/scarring) - Prosthetic valves - Previous IE - as bacteria can colonise when bacteraemia
35
Extraction Long term post operative complications: actinomycosis (what and treatment)
36
Aspirin 1. What 2. Effect (3) 3. How analgesic 4. Contraindications (7) 5. overdose effects extra - disease caused when underage
37
Ibuprofen 1. what 2. effect 3. possible contraindications 4. side effects 5. overdose effects
38
paracetamol 1. what 2. effect 3. side effect 4. possible contraindications 5. overdose
NOT AN NSAID
39
Opioids 1. action 2. effects 3. issues (2) and side effects (3) 4. contraindications
40
Codeine 1. what 2. effect on oral pain 3. overdose symptoms 4. dentally relevant info 5. contraindications
41
General description of pain pathway
damage to tissue = prostaglandin production = higher sensitised tissue to pain and inflammation
42
what drug is an anticonvulsant that can also be used as an analgesic? and for what type of pain?
Carbamazepine - neuropathic / functional pain i.e. trigeminal neuralgia
43
Basic principles of Surgical access for extracting a tooth (mucoperiosteal Flap design etc.)
-Max access / min trauma -Big and small heal at same rate -Wide based incision for circulation -No sharp angles and continuous cut -Flap retraction down to bone -KEEP MOIST -Minimise trauma to dental papillae -Suture over sound bone
44
Oral surgery: purpose of tissue retraction and types of retractors
purpose - best access - soft tissue protection retractors - howarths periosteal elevator and rake retractors
45
Oral Surgery: types of access flaps
1. envelope flap - 2 sided (no third mesial relieving flap) 2. 3 sided flap - mesial and distal relieving flaps
46
Oral surgery: principles of bone drill
- electrical straight handpiece - saline water cooled - tungsten carbide bur - NOT air as = emphysema - deadly - air blown into subcutaneous tissue and can spread = infection
47
types of debridement in oral surgery
1. physical - HARD - bone file / handpiece to smooth bone - SOFT - mitchells trimmer / victoria curette to remove soft tissue debris 2. irrigation - sterile saline into socket / under flap 3. suction - aspirate under flap
48
aims of suturing (3)
- reposition tissues, covering bone - haemostasis (compress BV) - encourage healing
49
suture types / filament types
1. non absorbable - if extended retention needed (OAF) 2. polyfillament - filaments twisted together - easier to handle - prone to wicking (infection spreads along) 3. absorbable - if removal not possible / desierable - vicryl breakdown via water absorption = polymer breakdown filament types (absorbable / non absorbable) - mono (resistant to wicking, less scarring) - poly
50
suture needle properties
- curved - triangular cross section
51
lower 8 extraction, nerves in close proximity
Lingual Inferior alveolar Long buccal Mylohyoid
52
when is a 3 sided flap access for an extraction not possible?
when the mesial relieving flap could damage the mental nerve
53
Anti-fibrinolytic haemostatic agent And other haemostatic agent
Tranexamic acid - prevents blood clot breaking down Desmopressin (von williebrand factor and 8)
54
What are each for and what are the movements for each: 1. Luxator 2. Elevators
1. - for tearing periodontal ligament - forced down long axis of tooth and slight rocking motion (NOT palatally) - used medically, midbuccally and distaly 2. - for tooth removal / lifting teeth out socket / listening tooth for forceps use - 3 actions = wheel and axil, wedge, lever (risk bone break)
55
3 methods of bone debridement
1. Physical - bone file / hand piece - mitchels trimmer or Victoria curette 2. Irrigation - sterile saline 3. Suction - under flap / in socket
56
What is the function of ferric sulphate
Haemostatic agent to put on pulp
