TYPES OF EXTRACTION:
CLOSED METHOD/FORCEPS
EXTRACTION/INTRA-ALVEOLAR EXTRACTIONconsists of removing the tooth or root by use of forceps or elevators or both.
OPEN METHOD/SURGICAL/TRANS-ALVEOLAR
EXTRACTION-consists of dissecting the tooth or root from bony attachments by removal of some bone investing the tooth/roots,which are then delivered by use of elevators and/or forceps
PRINCIPLES OF EXODONTIA
POSITION OF PATIENT
Angulation of the patient Chair is angulated such that operative field is most visible and accessible position. Occlusal surface of the mandibular teeth are parallel or at 100 to the floor, when operator is working on the mandibular teeth and standing in front of the patient. When operator standing behind patient, angle of the occlusal plane of mandibular teeth is increased until the tooth can be grasped. When working on the maxilla, the chair should be angulated so that the occlusal plane of the maxillary teeth is between an angle of 450 & 600 to the floor.
adjusted so that the site of operation is about 8cm (3 in.) below shoulder level of the operator. Mandibular teeth extraction- tooth to be extracted is about 16cm (6 in.) below the level of the operators elbow. When operator standing behind the pt- chair should be lowered sufficiently or use a operating box.
POSTURE Dentist should stand as nearly erect as possible with his weight equally distributed to each foot.
Any other position will eventually result in
mandibular molars, premolars and canines, the operator stands on the rt hand side of the patient
raised platform or operating box in order to achieve the optimal working position.

plates back into position. Examination of the surgical field and detection of sharp, bony edges, bony undercuts or loose bone fragments.
LIGHT
Good illumination of the operative field is
absolutely essential. To illuminate the field, a well adjusted headlight which can be regulated to throw a 3-inch diameter beam of intense light is preferable
SURGEONS PREPARATION
After patient & chair properly adjusted Operator must wear- head cap mask shatter resistant glasses
operator must remove rings & watch should scrub his hands and arms put sterile gown & gloves
DRAPING PATIENT
Patients head, shoulders & chest should be
covered with a green drape (30 in. wide by 48in. Long with an oblong opening 6 by 4 inches in the centre and 20in. From the top)- Archer
The three mechanical principles of extraction are 1. Expansion of the bony socket
EXTRACTION TECHNIQUE
PROCEDURE FOR CLOSED EXTRACTION Step 1:Loosening of soft tissue attachments from the tooth. Step 2:Luxation of the tooth with a dental elevator. Step 3:Adaptation of the forceps to the tooth. Step 4:Luxation of the tooth with the forceps Step 5:Removal of the tooth from the socket.

MECHANICAL PRINCIPLES INVOLVED IN EXTRACTION 1. LEVER PRINCIPLE OF FIRST ORDER: 3 basic components-fulcrum,effort,load Fulcrum is b/n effort and load Maximum advantage is when effort arm is longer than load arm Used in forceps along with wheel and axle and in elevators
MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE
Lever of first order Long arm is of the total length Short arm is of total length Downward force of 10 lbs acting at end of long arm causes an output force of 30 lbs at the end of short arm
Mechanical Advantage = output force = 30 lbs =3 input force 10 lbs Therefore mechanical advantage is 3
2. WEDGE PRINCIPLE: Here 2 movable inclined planes with a base on one end and blade on other end Effort is applied to the base of the plane and resistance has its effect on slant side Used to split, expand or displace the portion that receives it Elevators to luxate tooth when applied b/n bone and tooth Forceps when inserted b/n mucoperiosteum and surface of tooth
MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE
FormulaR=Resistance L=Length
E=Effort H=Height
EXL=RXH
or
R\E = L\H
3.
E X Rw = R X Ra or R\E=Rw\Ra
Mechanical advantage = Rw \ Ra Rw=42mm Ra=9mm Rw/Ra=4.6 Therefore, Mechanical Adv= 4.6 Each pound of pressure applied to crossbar is multiplied 4.6times.
APPLICATION OF ELEVATOR
PARTS OF FORCEPS
BEAKS HINGE
HANDLE
grip of the palm. Long axis of forceps beaks must be parallel to long axis of the tooth. Forceps beaks must grasp firmly the sound root structure and not enamel of the crown. Beaks must not impinge on adjacent teeth during the luxation.
APPLICATION OF FORCEPS
GRIP:
Thumb is positioned just below the joint of the forceps & forceps handles in the palm with a firm grip. The little finger is placed inside the handle & used to control the opening of forceps blades during application. When the tooth gripped the little finger is placed outside the handle.
Forceps can be applied in five major motions. 1.Apical pressure 2.Buccal pressure 3.Lingual pressure 4.Rotational pressure 5.Tractional pressure
Beaks of forceps act as wedge to expand alveolar bone and displace tooth in occlusal direction
BASIC FORCES EXERTED IN EXTRACTION OF MAXILLARY TEETH: First is the apical force. Central incisors-labial pressure,palatal,then labial with mesial rotation Lateral incisors-labial pressure with mesial rotation Cuspids- labial, palatal, labial with mesial rotation 1st PM-Buccal, palatal & removal in buccal direction 2nd PM-Buccal, palatal & removal in palatal or buccal direction 1st & 2nd Molars -buccal, palatal & removal in buccal direction 3rd molar-buccal & distal rotation
BASIC FORCES EXERTED IN EXTRACTION OF MANDIBULAR TEETH: First is the apical force. Central & lateral incisors-labial,lingual,slight mesiodistal & removal in labial direction Cuspids-labial pressure with mesial rotation 1st & 2nd PM-Buccal pressure with slight mesio-distal rotation 1st,2nd & 3rd molar-buccal,lingual & removal in buccal direction
fracture of teeth
Retained roots might prove as a source of infection,chronic irritation giving rise to neuralgic pain or might interfere with proper functioning of denture
Closed technique when tooth is well luxated and mobile before fracture Root tip pick,small elevator,forceps with slender beaks,reamers If not then open method should be attempted
ORDER OF EXTRACTION:
First is usually maxillary teeth as they get
anesthetized earlier and prevents fall of enamel or amalgam/debris into mandibular socket Most posterior teeth is extracted first The order is 3rd molar,2nd molar,2nd premolar,1st molar,1st premolar,lateral incisor,canine,central incisor.
Indications-gross caries involving pulp -retained primary teeth interfering with normal eruption of permanent successor -periapical pathology/root fracture Technique -smaller forceps -for U/L anteriors labial pressure with mesial rotation and removed to labial side -for U/L molars buccal pressure ,lingual pressure and removed to lingual side -force applied is less and forcep need not be inserted too deep along the root -care should be taken not to damage permanent successor
TRANS-ALVEOLAR EXTRACTION INDICATIONS: Any tooth which resists attempt at closed extraction Heavy/dense bone,short clinical crown due to attrition Hypercementosis,ankylosis,geminated & dilacerated roots Impacted tooth Retained fractured tooth/roots which cannot be grasped with forceps or elevators Roots in close proximity with vital structures like nerve or sinus Grossly destructed,heavily restored,RCTreated Prosthetic considerations
PROCEDURE:
Anesthesia-LA,plan for incision
MUCOPERIOSTEAL FLAP: The term local flap indicates a section of soft tissue that Is outlined by a surgical incision Carries its own blood supply Allows surgical access to underlying tissues Can be replaced in the original position Can be maintained with sutures and is expected to heal
DESIGN: -Base of flap must be broader than free gingival margin -must be of adequate size to provide access & visibility -long,straight incision over intact bone -full thickness flap -6-8mm away from bony defect to prevent collapsing of flap into it -preserve vital structures -vertical releasing incision is oblique incision which cross free gingival margin at line angle of tooth and not on facial aspect or papilla.
-No.15 blade is used on a no.3 scalpel handle and held in a pen grasp -blade is held at an angle & incision is made posteriorly to anterior in gingival sulcus -smooth,continuous stroke with blade in contact with bone
-if vertical incision is to be placed ,tissue is apically reflected,with opp hand tensing the alveolar mucosa
-start reflecting from papilla using woodson elevator or sharp end of no.9 periosteal elevator -carried out in pushing stroke,posteriorly and apically -once reflected flap is held with austin retractor resting firmly on sound bone.
BONE REMOVAL:
Bone removal must be limited carried out with dental burs or chisel with hand or mallet pressure CHISEL & MALLET: Quicker and cleaner Maxillary buccal and lingual plates can be removed Limiting cuts are placed vertically and then joined by horizontal cut If force is not controlled it might lead to fracture of basal bone or adjacent teeth DENTAL BURS: Used for dense mandibular bone Round bur no.8 or rose head burs are used,cut efficiently,do not clog,easier to control.
flap must be held away from the site with a retractor Bur must not be allowed to overheat during bone removal,frequent irrigations with sterile normal saline should be used to prevent this and also removes debris and prevent bur from clogging Bone might be removed by either simply cutting it away or by bone guttering.
A row of small holes is made with small bur along buccal crest and joined with fissure bur or chisel cuts.A gutter is formed.This is called postage stamp method.
In case of lower PM,bone removal should be maximal medial to 1st PM and distal to 2nd PM to minimize damage to nerve & vessels traversing mental foramen
ODONTECTOMY
It is the surgical removal of a tooth or teeth by
reflection of an adequate mucoperiosteal flap and also bone from between the buccal roots of molars, by means of chisels, burs and/or rongeurs. Advantages: -reduction in fractured crowns/roots during extraction -less danger of creating oro-antral fistula -preventing injury to neurovascular bundle in mandible. -less chances of tearing out large areas of cortical & cancellous bone.
INDICATIONS OF ODONTECTOMY
Hypercementosis Divergent roots Locked roots Dilacerated teeth Teeth with post crowns
TOOTH SECTIONING:
Accomplished with a straight hand piece with a
straight bur such as no.8 round bur or fissure bur no.557 or no.703 Sectioning is done from below upwards so that operator knows when the roots are completely divided
Root fragment must be small,not more than 3-4mm It must be deeply embedded in bone,to prevent subsequent bone resorption from exposing tooth root & interfering with prosthesis. Must not be infected & no radiolucency around root apex than The risk of surgery must be greater than benefit such as: Removal causes excessive destruction of surrounding tissue,bone or gingiva Endangers vital structures like inferior alveolar nerve There are chances of displacing root into tissue spaces or into maxillary sinus Patient must be informed about the judgement and consent must be obtained.

DRY SOCKET
INTRODUCTION
Crawford first given the term socket in 1896
because of lack of exudate and loss of blood clot in the socket. This term has stood the test of time and is still preferred by many. It is unique abnormal healing of socket rather than delayed normal healing that might be expected with poor general health.
SYNONYMS
The term dry socket has various synonyms which
include Necrotic alveolar socket - Alling (1959) Alveolalgia - Bjerke (1960) Localized osteomyelitis Israel (1970) Fibrinolytic alveolitis Birn (1973) Acute alveolar osteitis Shafer (1974) Localized osteitis Alveolitis sicca dolorosa
DEFINITION
Very unpleasant local complication of
extraction of tooth where the disintegration (breakdown) of socket coagulum and exposure of bare bone of the alveolar socket resulting in localized osteitis involving either the whole or a part of the condensed bone, leaving the tooth socket, (the lamina dura) with varying degrees of severity of pain.
probe into the socket where in case of dry socket bare bone is encountered, which is extremely sensitive.

GENERAL FACTORS
Debilitating diseases causes decreased resistance.
Uncontrolled diabetes, liver diseases, syphilis, anemia,
hemorrhagic diathesis, disturbances in the function of endocrine glands, diseases of the sympathetic nervous system.
Protein deficiencies, vitamin A,B,C and D deficiencies,
irradiated jaw- these conditions will have risk of alveolar osteitis and may progress to frank osteomyelitis.
LOCAL FACTORS
Insufficient blood supply to the alveolus either by its normal anatomical
vasoconstrictor- temporarily inhibit the vascular component of the inflammatory reaction and would tend to favour the establishment of local infection.
causative factor.
Wider stripping of periosteum and severance of the
attachment of muscles, and other trauma lead to liberation of tissue pro-activators accounting for the increased local fibrinolysis.
Trauma to the alveolar bone during extraction damages
and devitalizes the bone of the socket wall and thrombosis of underlying vascular plexus reducing its resistance to infection and increase the local release of plasminogen activators, weakening of local cellular defense mechanism facilitating bacterial invasion
contamination or by using unsterile instruments. Root or bone fragments or foreign bodies left in the socket. Disturbance of the clot. Excessive irrigation, curettage after extraction Repeated injections or intraligamental techniques increase risk of ASD Heavy spitting or sucking post-operatively Vigorous rinsing, playing with tongue or finger Irradiated jaw has reduced blood supply due to endarteritis obliterance. The factors which influences vascular function, such as the oral contraceptive pill, smoking, menstrual phase increased incidence of dry socket is due to increase in fibrinolytic activity. Pregnancy decrease risk of ASD. Fibrinolytic activity in the blood clot.
BIRNS HYPOTHESIS(1973)
TREATMENT
Objective: Relieving the discomfort and pain. Prevention of further infection. Promotion of healing.
Treatment should be: Symptomatic Relieve pain and to speed up the resolution Socket is irrigated with warm normal saline or dilute solution of 3% H2O2 to remove necrotic material All degenerating blood clot and food debris to be washed, meticulously removed Curettage of socket to stimulate bleeding or to remove debris not favoured allows the infection to penetrate deep into bone and also destroys any previous attempt of normal healing Sharp bony spurs to be excised Cotton wool or gauze soaked in dressing material packed in the socket not tightly but to cover complete bare bone Chemical cauterization of bare bone can also be done Analgesics
Hot saline mouth baths advised Review once in 2 days and change the
dressing In suppurative type of dry socket Adv antibiotics to prevent progressive involvement of the adjacent parts of the bone, to combat the effects of bacterial contamination and to minimize local inflammatory reaction. Metronidazole 400 mg tid 5 days
SEDATIVE DRESSING
subsides changed with Neomycin, Bacitracin, gauze Zinc oxide eugenol +LA. (dry socket which has perished for weeks lined with yellow brown bone and which show no signs of healing) Drawback delay in healing due to superficial necrosis of the bone and nerve endings add to local tissue damage) Whitehead varnish (Doesnt relieve pain but good antiseptic, can be kept for 2 or 3 weeks without changing)
