A

When focusing on the tip of the blade for cutting, may become unaware of the rest of the blade which can cause lacerations further from the intended site.

22
Q

What is required to gain greater access when creating incisions?

A

RELIEVING INCISIONS.

23
Q

Where do you gain access to with a crevicular incision WITHOUT any relieving incisions?

A

THE SUPERIOR ASPECT OF THE ALVEOLUS.

24
Q

Why do we want a flap to have a BROAD BASE?

A
  • To ensure it has an appropriate blood supply (ensure they do not become necrotic as you work).
25
Q

Why do we like to include the papilla when making incisions (2)?

A
  • Relocation of flap.
  • Suturing (meaty sites that allow for sutures to be placed).
  • Suture points.
26
Q

8 basic principles of flap design?

A
  • Flap broad base.
  • Ensure blood supply.
  • Extend 1 unit either side.
  • Incision margins supported.
  • Avoid/include important structures.
  • Flap without tension.
  • Include papilla.
  • Incisions avoid leaving
    areas avascular.
27
Q

In what direction does blood supply run?

A

From SULCUS to CREST.

28
Q

Why do we extend flaps 1 unit either side?

A

To ensure the INCISION MARGINS ARE SUPPORTED (usually with bone) when they are replaced.

29
Q

Why do we want to avoid placing tension on a flap?

A

Produces forces that may result in WOUND BREAKDOWN.

30
Q

Are flaps generally retracted or reflected? Why?

A

RETRACTED to avoid tension.

31
Q

Give an example of an incision where avoiding leaving areas avascular failed.

A

Cutting the papilla into “3rds”, 2/3rds in the flap and 1/3rd not in the flap.
- Challenges both fixed papilla and papilla in flap - at risk of becoming AVASCULAR.

32
Q

Why is it important to determine the sites of elevation?

A

Guide BONE REMOVAL.

33
Q

What guides the elevation points?

A

The ERUPTION PATH/ PATH OF WITHDRAWAL.

34
Q

Where are elevation points often located?

A

Often MESIAL.

35
Q

What is an important consideration on the position of the elevation point?

A
  • The lower (relative to the bone crest) the application point, the more CHALLENGING to access it and the more BONE that has to be removed.
36
Q

7 EXTRINSIC obstacles

A
  1. Bone.
  2. Soft tissues.
  3. Anatomic features (ex. maxillary sinus, IANB).
  4. Adjacent teeth (for impacted teeth).
  5. Pathology (ex. cyst, tumor).
  6. Space (lack of).
  7. Location (palatal/lingual).
37
Q

What does IANB stand for?

A

Inferior alveolar neurovascular bundle.

38
Q

6 INTRINSIC obstacles

A
  1. Crown (size,shape).
  2. Roots (number, morphology, angulation).
  3. Pathology.
  4. Caries.
  5. Resorption
  6. Ankylosis
39
Q

What problems can the number, morphology and angulation of roots cause?

A
  • Number: Multiple roots have chance of having MULTIPLE WITHDRAWAL PATHS.
  • Morphology: Bulbous apex with thinner rest of root.
  • Angulation: Dilaceration.
40
Q

What problems can the size and shape of crowns cause?

A
  • Large, bulbous crowns more likely to cause problems that small, conical crowns.
41
Q

What is an intrinsic obstacle for endodontically root treated teeth?

A
  • Teeth typically more BRITTLE and thus more at risk of FRACTURE.
42
Q

How can you tell a tooth is inclined on radiograph?

A

Strange superimposition of cusps in the radiograph!! Can be buccal or lingual inclination.

43
Q

What determines the extent of a flap?

A

Extent of flap determined by RELIEF. aka an envelope flap gives much smaller access than a 3 sided flap.

44
Q

What is a standard flap for surgically extracting a mesio-angularly impacted mandibular 3rd molar?

A

TRIANGULAR FLAP (3 sided flap).

45
Q

What is a standard flap for surgically extracting a mesio-angularly impacted mandibular 3rd molar?

A
  • Distal relieving incision: Goes up ascending ramus laterally.
  • Crevicular incision: Around visible part of crown (from distal to mesial) - INCLUDES PAPILLA.
  • Mesial relieving incision: does not go a unit anterior, curves down with a slight CURVATURE.
46
Q

Why do we place a slight curvature on the mesial relieving incision of a mandibular 3rd molar (2)?

A
  • Helps avoid leaving vessels.
  • Helps put the flap back/ self retaining.
47
Q

Can the same flap design used for a mesio angularly impacted molar be used for a distoangularly impacted 3rd molar deeply impacted and close to 2nd molar?

A

NO
- Elevation point/ bone removal point would be more MESIAL and covered by soft tissue aka FLAP DESIGN WOULD BE INADEQUATE.
- Mesial incision margin would fall into the BONE REMOVAL HOLE (would not be supported by bone).

48
Q

What is an envelope flap for an impacted 3rd molar?

A
  • Distal receiving incision lateral of ramus.
  • Goes around 7, includes papilla between 7 and 6 and finishes mid buccal of 6.
49
Q

Does a triangular or envelope flap provide more space for bone removal for a mandibular 3rd impacted molar?

A

ENVELOPE FLAP.
- more freedom of removing bone at the site immediately disto-buccal of the 7.

50
Q

What flap design is indicated for a disto-angularly impacted 3rd mandibular molar? Why?

A

ENVELOPE FLAP.
- more freedom of removing bone at the site immediately disto-buccal of the 7.

51
Q

What flap design consideration is indicated for the surgical XLA of mandibular 6?

A

2 SIDED FLAP.

1 unit distal yet 2 UNITS MESIAL as to avoid the mental foramen (aka go around buccal of 4 as well).

52
Q

How long after surgery will the soft tissue heal?

A

3-7 days.

53
Q

What must you palpate prior to cutting a flap for a 3rd mandibular molar? Why?

A

Palpate the BONY RAMUS.

  • If not done, may cut immediately distal to the ramus, fall into the “gap” aka lack of bone mesial to the ramus.
54
Q

What is a standard incision for the surgical removal of an unerupted/ partially erupted maxillary third molar?

A

SLASH STYLE
- Straight line that runs from DISTOPALATAL accross to MESIOBUCCAL of the 8 and traverses DISTOBUCCAL TO THE 7 and into the BUCCAL SULCUS.
