Study Notes
Recent Extraction Modalities
- Physics Forceps® enhances predictability in extraction time, accelerates procedures, and minimizes trauma to patients.
Postoperative Instructions for Children
- Children should hold a cotton roll between their lips until sensation returns.
- After numbness subsides, children can return to school or play; reassurance is given regarding future tooth replacement.
Postoperative Instructions for Parents
- Explain the cotton roll's purpose and address concerns about slight oozing or blood.
- Recommend a light diet avoiding hard foods.
- Advise against repeatedly asking about pain levels.
- Provide simple written care instructions for clarity.
Post Extraction Problems
- Hemorrhage addressed by applying pressure or suturing.
- Lip biting managed by cotton rolls attached with floss.
Structural Anomalies: Supernumerary Teeth (Hyperdontia)
- Supernumerary teeth indicate excess tooth count, categorized into mesiodens, paramolar, distomolar, and supplemental teeth.
- Commonly occur more frequently in permanent teeth.
- Clinical complications include:
- Over-retained primary teeth
- Ectopic eruption of permanent teeth
- Midline diastema
- Displacement and rotation of adjacent teeth
- Dentigerous cyst development
Balancing and Compensating Extractions
- Balancing extraction involves removing a tooth from the opposite side to reduce midline shift.
- Compensating extraction prevents overeruption of unopposed molars.
- Factors influencing decisions include the condition of molars, child's age, and orthodontic recommendations.
Guidelines for Extraction of First Permanent Molars
- Ideal circumstances for extraction include visible premolars and second molars without abnormalities, aged 8.5 to 10 years.
- Timing is critical; early or late extractions can disrupt dental alignment.
Immediate Complications After Extraction in Children
- Potential issues include jaw fractures, dislodged adjacent teeth, and TMJ dislocation.
- Permanent successor teeth should be replanted immediately if extracted.
Diagnosis of Abnormalities
- Most often asymptomatic; routinely discovered via radiography.
- Mesiodens diagnosis confirmed through various radiographic modalities.
Natal and Neonatal Teeth
- Natal teeth are present at birth; neonatal teeth emerge within the first 30 days.
- Natal teeth are more prevalent; often lead to complications such as aspiration risk and breastfeeding interference.
- Management includes careful monitoring or extraction if complications arise.
Abnormal Maxillary Frenum Attachment
- Originates at midline of the inner lip, with types including mucosal and gingival.
- Complications can affect breastfeeding and oral hygiene.
- Treatment options include frenotomy or laser treatment.
Ankylosed Teeth
- Ankylosed deciduous teeth impede the eruption of successors and require timely surgical intervention for proper dental alignment.
- Decoronation of ankylosed permanent teeth may be necessary to avoid future complications.
Pathology Considerations in Pediatric Patients
- Tumors in children grow quickly and show unpredictable behavior.
- Children recover faster from surgical procedures.
Postoperative Care Recommendations
- Warm salt water rinses may commence the day after surgery.
- Physical activity should be restricted on the day of surgery; a soft food diet is advised.
- Oral hygiene is crucial, avoiding stimulation of surgical sites.
- Pain management with ibuprofen is recommended; aspirin should be avoided.
- Monitor for normal swelling and slight fever post-extraction.
Important Preoperative Consultation Points
- All medically compromised conditions require preoperative consultation for tailored care.
- Systemic and local hemostatic agents must be considered based on patient needs.
