Study Notes
Tooth Extraction Complications
- Leaving fine interseptal bone after extracting multiple adjacent teeth can lead to delayed healing and tongue irritation due to sharp bone edges.
Howath's Elevator
- Used to elevate mucoperiostal flaps by placing the end under the flap and gently pulling it away from the underlying bone.
Retractors
- Similar to periosteal elevators but with non-sharp ends, used to retract the cheek.
Sutures
- Monofilament sutures: made of materials like plain or chromic gut, nylon, or stainless steel.
- Polylactine 910 is used to make sutures, available in two forms:
- Vicryl
- Vicryl rapide: treated with gamma radiation, increasing resorption rate by 50% compared to regular Vicryl.
Suture Coatings and Dye
- Sutures may be coated or non-coated for better properties.
- Dyed sutures (pink or purple) improve visibility in the patient's mouth.
