Prevention • Planning • Know your limitations • Know your patient/procedure
Injuries during surgery
– medical status – radiographs
Soft Tissue Injuries • Flap tears/necrosis • Instrument slips/tears • Lip burns/abrasions
1
Patient Management • No surprises – informed consent
• Tell
Prevention of soft tissue injuries
– communication
2
Surgical Technique • Flap Design – Access for bone removal – Access for sectioning – Periodontal health – Avoid injury to vital structure
Flap Design
Flap Design • Incisions – Sharp blade of proper size and shape – Firm, continuous stroke – Avoid vital structures – Blade perpendicular to skin or mucosa – Placement/margin control
Proper flap design
• Apex never wider than base • Parallel or convergent sides • Length of flap should be less than twice the base axial blood supply in base • Base of flap should not be twisted or stretched
Torn Flap

Displaced or retained roots
Retained Root • Rule: Uninfected root tips (< 2-3mm) left within the bone have minimal complications vs. destructive surgical removal
Tooth/Fragment in Sinus • Careful inspection • Radiographs • Remove promptly if possible
Tooth/Fragment in Sinus • Surgical approaches – through the socket- not recommended – buccal, superior to the socket – Caldwell-Luc
• Consider buccal flap if > 5 mm opening
4
Management of Displaced Teeth and Tooth Fragments Maxillary sinus: • Obtain a periapical or panorex radiograph to determine position. • Root tips should be removed.
Management of Displaced Teeth and Tooth Fragments If a root tip is left, the patient should be informed of the circumstances. Radiographs should be taken and document in the patient’s chart. Follow-up radiographs should be taken at 6 and 12 months.
Management of Displaced Teeth and Tooth Fragments Maxillary sinus continued: • Attempts can be made to retrieve smaller root tips by placing the patient supine, irrigating the sinus, and suctioning with a flexible suction catheter. • A regimen of antibiotics, antihistamine, and nasal spray should be given. • For removal of roots with pathology or larger roots, the Caldwell-Luc approach should be used.
Remember….management of Displaced Teeth and Tooth Fragments Criteria for root tips that need removal include roots that have apical lesions on radiographs or those with visible pathology or infection. Also..roots that are mobile… Root tips in sinus need to be removed.
Oral Antral Communications
Oral - Antral Communications
• Small perforations (2-4mm) at the apex of the socket will usually heal • Nasal precautions should be reviewed with the patient. • Smoking affects the healing process and increases the likelihood of an oral antral fistula forming.
5
Oral Antral Communications • For moderate size perforations (more than 5mm), primary closure should be obtained, the easiest and most reliable time to perform a closure of an oral antral communication is at the time it occurs. • Nasal precautions should be reviewed with the patient, systemic and topical nasal decongestants and antibiotics should be prescribed.
Oral Antral Communications • If there is not sufficient tissue, buccal bone may need to be removed, or if the opening is large, a buccal flap may be necessary to produce a water tight closure. • Consider using a nonresorbable suture • In patients with no evidence of sinus disease, the antibiotic of choice is amoxicillin. If sinus disease is present, the antibiotic of choice is Augmentin.

Flap Design Removal of Bone Sectioning of Tooth Elevation and Delivery Wound Management
7
Surgical Technique • Sectioning of tooth – Avoid excessive forces to bone and adjacent teeth – Reduce bulk of crown – Split roots – Purchase points
Hard Tissue Injuries • • • •
Buccal bone fracture Tuberosity fracture Consider surgical extraction Management depends on periosteal attachment
8
Fractures Tuberosity fractures: • If fracture of the tuberosity occurs and the tooth is asymptomatic and without pathology, the extraction should be deferred, and the tuberosity should be immobilized with an arch bar for 6 weeks prior to attempting removal. • If the tuberosity is only slightly loose, discontinuation of the procedure may be the only treatment necessary.
Fractures
Maxillary Tuberocity
Mandible fractures: • Mandibular fractures are a recognized complication of third molar surgery and should be listed on routine consent forms. • Predisposing conditions are: Mandibular atrophy, osteoporosis, increased age and pathology such as cysts, growths or tumor.
Bleeding Intra-operative bleeding
• History/family history • Medications – ASA – NSAIDS – Coumadin
• Hypertension
Bone Wax:
Bleeding: Intraoral Factors
(Salicylic acid and Beeswax)
• Vascular • Often open wound • Loss of clot
Mechanism of action: Mechanical blockage of small bone cannels
9
Bleeding: Management • • • • •
Pressure/patience Injection Bleeding vessel Local anesthetic Hemostatic agent
Bleeding: Prevention • Atraumatic technique • Curettage of granulation tissue
Gauze
Hemostatic Agents
And……
Gelatin Mechanism of Action: Helps stabilize clot formation (Does not activate coagulation cascade or platelets
Pressure, Pressure and more…. Pressure
10
Suture
Microfibrillar Collagen
Mechanism of Action: Activates platelet aggregation
Collagen
Oxidized Regenerated Cellulose
Mechanism of Action: Helps stabilize clot formation (Does not activate coagulation cascade or platelets
Mechanism of Action: Activates platelet aggregation
Bleeding: Hemostatic Agent • Topical thrombin – Stimulates fibrin formation – Cannot use with surgicel (deactivates)
• Anti-fibrinolytic agents – aminocaproic acid (Amicar) – tranexamic acid
To help minimize PO complications… • Do not disturb the wound – Smoking, spitting, rinsing vigorously
• Bleeding – Bite on gauze 20-30 mins
• Swelling, Pain, Bruising – Ice pack, head elevation, pain medication
11
Postsurgical Sequelae Post-op complications
Impacted Teeth • Incidence of complications 10% • Predictable: Pain, Swelling, Bleeding, Trismus • Common: Alveolar Osteitis, 6 to 12% • Rare: Nerve injury, jaw fracture
Postsurgical Sequelae • Infection – Ranging from 1.7% to 2.7% – 50% occur 2 to 4 weeks post op – Local, subperiosteal abcess
•Pain •Swelling •Bleeding •Infection
Postsurgical Sequelae • Most common sequelae: PAIN – Determine which analgesic(s) and how many to prescribed: • Can last 3 to 5 days • Bone removal (?)
– Strong consideration: Length of operation
Alveolar Osteitis “Dry Socket” • Clinical presentation – increasing pain post-op day 3 to 5 – malodor – pain not relieved by class III narcotic – pain awakes at night – radiates to ear.
12
Alveolar Osteitis “Dry Socket” • Patients at risk – females on oral contraceptives – smokes – Length of procedure
Alveolar Osteitis
Post-Operative Bleeding
“Dry Socket” • Factors which reduce incidence – – – –
prophylactic antibiotics (?) copious irrigation preoperative chlorhexidine rinse (50%) antibiotics in extraction site
• Risk vs. benefit Removal of maxillary teeth
PO day 1
Liver clots
No active bleeding….What do we do now???
13
Management of Postoperative Bleeding • If contacted by a patient experiencing prolonged bleeding, review the patient’s medical history and medications. Give the patient explicit instructions to bite down on a gauze with continuous pressure for 45-60 minutes. If the patient complains of brisk bleeding, they should be evaluated in the emergency room or office immediately. • If simple measures do not control the bleeding, surgical intervention is indicated.
Management of Postoperative Bleeding • Inspect the surgical site. Good lighting and suction are essential. • If the use of local anesthetic is required, utilize one that does not contain a vasoconstrictor (this may give you temporary control, but may hinder your ability to determine the source of bleeding).
Management of Postoperative Bleeding
Management of Postoperative Bleeding
• If sutures are present, they should be removed so the surgical site can be evaluated adequately. • Determine if the bleeding is coming from hard or soft tissues. Soft tissue bleeding can often be controlled with direct pressure; if the source of bleeding is granulation tissue, it should be curetted.
• Bleeding from bone: If the bleeding is from a pinpoint area, the bone can be burnished. If the bleeding is more diffuse, a hemostatic adjunct should be packed into the socket and direct pressure applied. If during a dental extraction massive hemorrhage occurs, such as a central venous lesion, the tooth should be placed back into the socket as an initial means of hemorrhage control.
AO communication…continued • Causes
Fistula Formation
– most common iatrogenic
• Incidence – 1/180- first molar – 1/280- second molar
• Fistula < 5 mm may close spontaneously
