| TYPES
OF EXTRACTION.
- Closed
[ intra alveolar technique ]. When using forceps and elevators
and exerting force.
- Open
[ transalveolar technique/ surgical extraction]. When a
flap is raised, surrounding bone is cut and then taking
the tooth out either as a whole. Or in segments.
STEPS
IN INTRA ALVEOLAR EXTRACTION
- Pre
extraction evaluation of patient—History, clinical
examination, investigation.
- Anaesthesia.
- Reflection
of attached gingival around the tooth so that there id no
trauma to the tooth and also to have a firm grip over the
tooth.
- Application
of elevators and forceps.
- Withdrawal
or removal of tooth.
- Compression
of socket—to achieve haemostasis and to bring back
the dilated cortical plates.
- Debridement
of socket.
- Achieve
haemostasis.
- Post
extraction instructions.
SURGICAL
EXTRACTION
Indiacations
1.
Impacted teeth.
2. When tooth fails to be extracted under intra alveolar
method.
3. If tooth is broken at alveolar level or the root is
broken.
Steps
1.
Pre extraction evaluation of patient.
2. Anaesthesia.
3. Elevation of mucoperiosteal flap.
4. Bone removal -- by chisel/mallet or burs.
Techniques--- a. Buccal guttering.
b. Postage stamp technique.
6. Tooth removal.
7. Achieving haemostasis.
8. Wound debridement.
9. Suturing the mucoperiosteal flap.
10. Post extraction instructions.
11. Recall / review after 7 days and suture removal.
