Study Notes
Planning Procedures
- Procedures are planned based on the depth of the impacted tooth and the specific challenges involved during extraction.
- Flap design is essential for understanding the complexity of extraction.
Classification of Depth
- Level A: Indicates occlusion of tooth 8 and 7 at the same level.
- Level B: Third molar's occlusal plane is above the cervical line of the second molars, presenting a different extraction consideration.
- Level C: Third molar's occlusal plane falls below the cervical line of the second molars.
Impact Classifications
- Class 1: All of the impacted tooth 8 is outside of the ramus.
- Class 2: Part of tooth 8 impacts within the ramus.
- Class 3: Entire tooth 8 is impacted within the ramus.
Anesthesia Considerations
- If the impacted tooth exerts pressure on a nerve, full extraction may risk complications; in such cases, two-thirds of the tooth may be removed while leaving the last third of the root intact.
Surgical Steps
-
Step 7: Cleaning
- After removal of the third molar, the socket must be treated with saline irrigation to cleanse the area.
- Utilize surgical curettes to remove sharp bone remnants from the extraction site.
-
Step 8: Suturing
- Common suture materials include polypropylene, polyglactin 910, silk, and polyglactin 910 antibacterial sutures.
- Techniques include interrupted (simple) or continuous sutures for wound closure.
Medication and Post-operative Care
- Post-operative prescriptions can vary based on the complexity of the extraction (simple vs. complicated).
- Application of warm compresses to the cheek in the extraction area for 20 minutes, followed by 10-minute intervals throughout the day, aids in reducing swelling.
Non-absorbable Sutures
- Non-absorbable sutures are predominantly utilized, with exceptions based on specific case needs.
Suture Types
- Round sutures are commonly used to provide adequate closure in dental surgery.
