Study Notes

Oral Surgery Instruments

A periosteal elevator is used to reflect a mucoperiosteal flap, which is composed of mucous membrane and periosteum.
The blunt end of a periosteal elevator is used to start the reflection of the flap.

Extraction of Impacted Teeth

Impacted third molars are extracted using a specialized instrument.
Extraction forceps are used in the luxation of any tooth prior to extraction.

Apexo Elevator

An apexo elevator is used to remove fractured root tips.

Tongue Retractor

A tongue retractor is used to keep the tongue away from the surgical site, allowing it to rest in front of the tongue guard.

Ankylosis

Ankylosis occurs when a tooth becomes fused to the surrounding bone, not when it is fully erupted into occlusion.

Scalpel

A scalpel is used in oral surgery for incisions and other surgical procedures.

Crossbar Handle

A crossbar handle is used in specific situations, but its exact purpose is not specified.
