Study Notes
Importance of Illumination
- Good illumination of the operative field is crucial during tooth extraction for clear visualization of the surgical site.
Operator Positioning
- The operator should stand at a 10-11 o'clock position when extracting right mandibular teeth.
- A left-handed dentist should stand at a 1-2 o'clock position when extracting lower left teeth.
- The operator stands behind the patient when extracting right mandibular teeth to facilitate better access and control.
Patient Positioning
- The correct position of the patient is important during tooth extraction to ensure patient comfort and facilitate the extraction process.
