Study Notes
Oral Surgery Instruments
- A periosteal elevator is used to reflect mucoperiosteal flaps and to elevate the periosteum from the bone.
Extraction Techniques
- A scalpel is used in oral surgery to make incisions in soft tissue.
Root Tip Removal
- A apical elevator is used to remove fractured root tips.
Tongue Retraction
- A tongue retractor is used to retract the tongue and provide clear access to the operating site.
Extraction of Impacted Teeth
- The Cryer Elevator is used in the extraction of impacted teeth, specifically in lingual split technique.
- The Cryer Elevator is used in the extraction of roots or teeth that are positioned high in the ramus.
Ankylosis
- In dental terminology, 'Ankylosis' refers to the fusion of a tooth to the surrounding bone, eliminating the periodontal ligament.
Extraction of Impacted Third Molars
- A luxator or an apical elevator is used for the extraction of impacted third molars or luxation of any tooth prior to extraction.
Mucoperiosteal Flap
- The function of a mucoperiosteal flap in oral surgery is to provide access to the underlying bone and to aid in the retraction of soft tissue.
Crossbar Handle Instrument
- The crossbar handle instrument is used in oral surgery to apply force and leverage during extractions, particularly when a tooth is sectioned.
