23 - Dentistry V (Extractions)

Elevators

What dental tools are sturdy and robust, and are used to tear/fatigue the periodontal ligament? They can be traditional or winged. Winged are more important in vet medicine.

Luxators

What dental tools are sharper and thinner than elevators and are better able to sever the periodontal ligament?

Rongeurs

Which dental tools are used to debride bone?

Non Flap

What type of extraction involves a 15 blade to incise the periodontal ligament around the tooth, inserting a winged elevator between the tooth-alveolus, applying rotational force, and not trying to pry the tooth out? Extraction forceps are then used to remove the tooth, curettage of the alveolus is done, the alveolus is packed with bone graft material, and the gingiva is sutured closed.

Canine

Extraction to remove a retained deciduous what tooth uses a scalpel blade to incise the gingival margins, a winged elevator to advance along the lateral root and rostro-caudally, and extraction with the fingers if possible?

High

A what speed handpiece (high or low) is used for multirooted teeth as they require suctioning and extraction of one root at a time? These teeth are removed by fissue and crosscut burs, sectioning the teeth, and cutting them into portions with one root each. A round burr removes the alveolar bone.

Flaps

Mucogingival what refer to structures made by detaching the periosteum, mucosa, and gingiva from the alveolar bone of a tooth that is to be extracted? They usually form full thickness these, which are converted to partial thickness ones by elevating the mucosa from the periosteum and transecting the periosteum to allow more tissue stretch to cover larger defects.

Diamond

What type of burr removes bone spurs and smoothes edges? They are also called football burrs.

Maxillary

Extraction of which canine tooth (maxillary or mandibular) involves releasing incisions to form a flap, periosteal elevation, loosening the lingual attachments, using a round burr to shave the buccal alveolus, and removing?

Low

While simple interrupted and horizontal mattress sutures can be used to suture the gingival flap, the key is to make tension high or low?

Infraorbital

The rostral maxillary block is also called what and is given in the namesake canal?

Molar

The caudal maxillary block is given caudal to the last what tooth?

Yes

Can bupivacaine or lidocaine be given in maxillary nerve blocks?

Mental

The rostral mandibular block is also called what and is given in the middle namesake foramen?

Caudal

Which mandibular block is also called the inferior alveolar block and is given in the lingual aspect of the caudal mandibular body? Bupivacaine is not given bilaterally but lidocaine can be.

Trigeminal

What nerve (cranial V) branches into the opthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves, and is blocked by maxillary and mandibular blocks?

Artery

The maxillary nerve is accompanied by the maxillary what?
