Oral Surgery pt. 3
Surgical Aids in Ortho
Indications for Exo:
- Relieve crowding
- Correct dental arch relationship
Exo may also depend on:
- Condition of teeth (caries, hypoplastic, heavily restored)
- Position of crowding (ant/post)
- Position of teeth (arch rel, position of apex)
- Severity of defect (required space, camouflage)
-
Dilacerated Teeth
Axis of the whole or part of the crown is at an angle to the root
Causes = Trauma, Dental Development
Tx – Surgical Removal
Impacted Teeth
Full developed teeth that fails to erupt into the mouth, can be by obstruction
Ex. lower wisdoms, upper canines, second premolars, upper incisors
Treatment Alternatives:
- Extraction
- Impacted tooth
- Tooth in poor position, assoc. pathology, relive crowding
- Financial, interfere w/ ortho tx
- Adjacent tooth
- create space in an arch, impacted tooth in the correct path of eruption
- Impacted tooth removal is difficult/destructive
- Leave in situ
- Symptom-free tooth
- good contacts on other teeth
- Deciduous canine aestehtic w/ long roots
Surgical Exposure and Ortho Traction
- Clear path of eruption
- Requiring further ortho tx
- No pathology
Surgical Exposure
- Gingivectomy (palatal impaction)
- Apically positioned flap (buccal impaction)
Supernumerary Teeth
An offshoot of the dental lamina
- Most common in males
- associated with syndromes
(Gardners, Clediocranial dyspolasia, Cleft lip/palate)
examples:
- Peg/Mesodens
(roots well formed, erupts early, often midline palate)
- Tubercule
(Develop later, rarley erupts, poorly formed roots)
- Supplemental
(Normal size/appearance, common in premolar/molar region)
- Complex Odontome
(Haphazardly formed dental tissues, can prevention eruption of normal teeth, common posterior mandible)
- Compound Odontome
(Orderly tooth-like, common ant maxilla, in a fibrous sac, best removed early)
Abnormal Frena Attachments
- Superior labial
(80% with a median diastema have an abnormal fraenum)
- Tx: Frenectomy/franoplasty
- Lingual Franuem
(Speech issues, breast feeding issues, retrusive tongue)
-
Oral Cancer
Disease usually travels through identifiable precursors stages known as PMODs
(potentially malignant oral disorders)
Types of Neoplasms
- Epithelial Malignancies:
- Squamous Cell Carcinoma
- Malignant Melanoma
- Basal Cell Carcinoma
- Salivary Malignancies
-
Clinically
EARLY
Painless (makes early dx difficult!)
White/ Redpatch/plaque
Exophytic growth
Non healing ulcer / fissure
LATE
Local invasion (destruction, distortion, dysfunction)
Metastasis (regional or distant)
Dental Role
Primary Prevention
- Health Education
- Habit intervention
- Population screening
Secondary Prevention
- Recognize and Refer PMODs
Tertiary Prevention
- Recognize and refer early stage disease to improve prognosis and QoL
Maxillary Sinus
Mx Sinus Anatomy:
- Apex - Zygomatic process
- Roof - floor of the orbit
- Floor - roof of the palate
Dental Implications
- Root apices of maxillary posterior teeth often lie proximal to antral floor
- Sinus disease can mimic toothache
- Apical pathology can affect the sinus
- Potential complications during surgical procedures = CAUSING INFECTION!!
-
Oro-Antral Fistula (OAF)
-
Management: Needs flap reconstruction to close the defect
- control sinus disease
- excision of epithelial tract
- debridement of communication
- Raise flap and suture on good bone
Others
Displacement of dental materials into sinus
Root Fragments displaced into the Mx sinus
- Root fragments <3mm may be left in situ, if there is no preexisting periapical infection
- Management:
1.) attempt removal
2.) or Refer
- pack w/ gel foam and suture
- sinus precautions and antibiotics
Sinus Pathology
Acute Mx Sinusitis
Most commonly caused by viral infections of upper respiratory tract (may also include bacterial, foreign bodies, OAC)
-
-
Chronic Mx Sinusitis
Pain, nasal congestion and abnormal secretions for 3 months (potential radiographic changes)
-
-
Antral Polyps & Cysts
Arise due to thickened mucosa of chronic sinusitis
- isolated or multiple (homogenous)
- May cause bony destruction or displacement
Management:
- Dx, biopsy, review or refer
