SURGICAL TECHNIQUE IN IMPACTED TOOTH REMOVAL

FLAPS : L - SHAPE, ENYELOPE, BAYONET

BONE : BUR VS CHISELREMOVAL

TOOTH : TOOTH VS BONE (KELSY FRY RETRIEVAL SPLIT & DAVIS)

WOUND : CONVENTIONAL VS TISSUE ADHESIVES

ADVANTAGES OF DAVIS

- DECREASED INCIDENCE OF INFECTION IN II MOLAR AREA - OBVIATES LINGUAL BONE REMOVAL

- ↓ LINGUAL NERVE COMPLICATION

DISADVANTAGES OF KELSY FRY

-↑ LINGUAL NERVE COMPLICATION - BLEEDING - ELEVATION OF LINGUAL

POSTOPERATIVE CARE

i) Rest is necessary for the prompt healing of wounds.

ii) Cold applications to the face prevent disfiguring swelling and postoperative edema.

iii) They should be instructed to drink plenty of fluids in the form of milk, juices, Tea, Water etc.,

iv) Proper oral care must not be neglected

v) Should rinse 4 to 6 times daily. Best mouth rinse is a warm saline water.

vi) In take of alcohol and use of smoking should be discontinued for five days.

vii) Antibiotics and analgesic drug should be started.

Intra operative complicationsIncision Flap elevation Bone

removal

Tooth sectioning Elevation of tooth

During incision Local inflammation immediately prior to

surgery hemorrhage

Subside the inflammation prior to surgery by anti inflammatory drugs

Placement of incision:Buccal:

downward & forward placement of incision towards the vestibule

damage to the facial artery or anterior facial vein

Management:Temporary Permanent

extra oral finger pressure ligation

Direct the cut upwards towards the tooth

Distal:incision directly in line with the

anterior border of ramus Damage the retromolar vessels

Lingual extension Damage lingual nerve

Direct the incision more bucally

During bone removal

Damage to the distal aspect of 2nd molar

sensitivity

Improper cooling of the bur

Local bone death

Sequestration

Damage mucosa & lingual nerve

Bur

Mandibular canal openingemorrhage

Hemorrhage Anestheisa

Careful drillingAdequate retractionLingual nerve protection

Advantage:1. Safe 2. Rapid3. Efficient method

Disadvantage:1. Damage adjacent

structures2. Fracture of the jaw3. Splitting of the

lingual plate

Chisel

Firm controlAnterior vertical limit cutOptimum force of malleting

During tooth sectioning

Incorrect line of sectioning

Difficult removal of the tooth

Damage to mandibular canal

HemorrhagePost op numbness of

the lower lip on the side of surgery

Bur

Section across the cervical portion at right angle to the long axis of the tooth

Difficult to achieve correct line of cleavge

More accurate sectioning

Chisel Osteotome

Inadequate control

•Damage to soft tissues•Lingual nerve•2nd molar

Excessive malleting force

•Dislodgement of tooth into the lingual pouch•Fracture of the tooth in unwanted angulation

Retrieval of the dislodged tooth

Tooth

Lingual pouch

Finger pressure

Manipulation upwards

Retrieval with forceps

During elevation of the tooth Fracture of the tooth Displacement of the tooth into lingual pouch

or lateral pharyngeal space or tonsillar area (retrieval – finger manipulation or surgical exploration)

Sublux]ation to 2nd molar or complete dislodgement out of its socket

Damage to the disto-occlusion restoration Fracture of the jaw (due to excessive force)

Root apices penetrating mandibular canal – hemorrhage & numbness

Prevention of dislodgement into the lingual pouch or lateral pharyngeal space

Relieve the tooth from the overlying gingival pad

Finger over the 3rd molar during elevation

Post operative complicationsImmediate 1. pain2. Hemorrhage 3. Swelling4. Anesthesia5. Trismus6. Pain on swallowing & sore throat pyrexia

Late 1. Infection 2. Hemorrhage 3. Pain in TMJ4. Trismus

Immediate post op complications

1. Pain: cause:

dry sockethematomatrauma to the adjacent tooth

Pain thershold – varies for each individualJudicious manipulation of the tissues

2. Hemorrhage:

Injection

Incision

Infection

Hemorrhage

Reactionary Hemorrhage Occuring during the first 24 hours following surgery

Cause:1. failure to achieve complete

hemostasis during surgery2. wearing of adrenalin action

Management:

source of bleeding is identified

Ligation Pressure pack

3. Swelling:

Cause: Bleeding under a tight suture

lack of escape of hemorrhage through the sutural line

Seepage into the soft tissues

1. Tongue base 2. Pharyngeal tissue planes

Impairment of airway

Swelling

Edema

Not painful

Hematoma

Tense & Tender
