Abstract

To correct pathologic conditions and to prevent future problems, all supernumerary, impacted, and malposed teeth should be evaluated with prospects of providing an anatomically acceptable solution. Through logical clinical and radiologic resources, localication of the malpositioned structure is possible. Correction or control of the affected tooth may follow the tenets of deft, delicate, and accurate surgery in consultation with an orthodontist, a cooperative relationship based on mutual respect.

The case for ostectomy--a time-tested therapeutic modality in selected periodontitis sites.

Although ostectomy has been proven in numerous studies to be an effective means of reducing pocket depth, some clinicians still question its merits. To determine the efficacy of ostectomy for the treatment of periodontitis, 870 pairs of presurgical and postsurgical radiographs of sites treated by ostectomy were examined. The postsurgical radiographs, taken 5 to 30 years postoperatively, revealed distinct lamina dura and demonstrated that ostectomy is an effective and predictable technique for intercepting the progressive loss of attachment in selected sites with periodontitis.

The effect of occlusal loss on normal and pathological temporomandibular joints: an animal study.

The effect of unilateral posterior malocclusion on temporomandibular joint intra-articular pathology was studied in sheep. In Group I, osteoarthritic changes were induced in the left temporomandibular joint by gentle scraping of the articular surface (Ishimaru and Goss, 1992). Group II had the same procedures as Group I, with concurrent extraction of all the left maxillary posterior teeth. Group III had a different osteoarthritic precondition in the left temporomandibular joint, allowing synovial fluid to contact the condylar marrow (Ishimaru et al., 1992). Group IV had the same procedure as Group III, with concurrent extraction of all the left maxillary posterior teeth. Group V had unilateral maxillary molar teeth extraction in the left side. At 3 months, the animals were sacrificed and the joints examined histologically. There were no significant differences between normal control joints and those with unilateral tooth extraction (Group V). Similarly the degree of osteoarthritic change was the same between Groups I and II. Significant differences (p < 0.05) were seen between Groups III and IV with tooth extraction increasing the osteoarthritic effects. Hence it was concluded that in sheep, malocclusion had no effect on the normal temporomandibular joint and on one type of experimental osteoarthritis, but accelerated osteoarthritic change in another model.

Surgical extractions.

The principles of exodontia as they pertain to surgical extractions are presented in this article. A system of presurgical analysis that will alert the dentist to potential problems is outlined. Also, classic techniques of surgical extractions and root retrieval are presented.
