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.
