    BAB I

    Description

    Mr Laode 35 years old, comes to RSGMP FKGUI with complain of eating trouble since she has

    a sharp tooth that thrust into the tongue. From anamnesis, Mrs Laode explain that she is on her

    3rd

    month of pregnancy. Her sister sisi, 17 years old, who also comes, wants to make her tooth

    alignment. Clinical examination shows that 13 is unerupted but planted on the jawbone in

    vertical position. On anemsis, the patients says that for the previous month she was easily

    getting tired, often felt thirsty and hungry eventhough she has already taken her meals, and also

    loose her height.

    Diagnosis for Pre-Treatment Surgery

    A. Pre-prosthetic SurgeryDefinition: procedures designed to optimize the stability, retention, support, and comfort

    of removable dentures through the selective modification of soft and hard tissues.

    Conditions and Diagnosis for Pre-prosthetic Surgery:

    a. Dental caries and periodontal diseaseExtraction is not always thought of as a pre-prosthetic procedure nor is it usually

    thought of as a preventative procedure. The removal of teeth is the definitive pre-

    prosthetic surgical procedure particularly if the patient is being edentulated. Care is

    needed to minimize bone loss and create an optimal ridge form. The timely extraction

    of non-restorable or periodontally doomed teeth prevents the ongoing bone loss that

    would be associated with the infection or surgical extraction of decayed teeth oruncontrolled periodontal disease.

    b. Ridge irregularitiesThe elimination of protruding spicules or points of bone allows for more uniform

    loading of the ridge. While somewhat more technically demanding, the removal of

    tori eliminates point loading in the area of the torus. In the case of lingual tori,

    removal often allows for extension of the lingual flange with increased retention and

    resistance.

    c. UndercutsElimination of bony undercuts allows for more intimate contact of denture base to

    bone and therefore more uniform loading of the ridge.

    d. Flabby ridge tissue

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    7/40

    7 | P a g e

    The trimming of flabby ridges allows for more intimate adaptation of denture to

    mucosa and more uniform loading of ridges. This reduces denture movement and

    reduces resultant "rubbing" of the mucosa.

    e. Hyperplastic tuberositiesf. Occasionally, posterior interarch space may be reduced by hyperplasia (usually soft

    tissue but occasionally osseous) of the tuberosity. This reduces the space available for

    the placement of a denture base over the tuberosity or the retro-molar pad. This

    results in denture heel interference. Soft tissue hyperplasia can be reduced by wedge

    excision of the tissue followed by undermining of the wound edges and primary

    closure. Hard tissue reduction is carried out essentially the same way, with osseous

    reduction done prior to closure. The amount of bone reduction allowed is a function

    of the level of the floor of the sinus.

    g. Decreased retention: Loss of retention as a function of ongoing atrophy is difficult toregain.

    Vestibuloplasty: With time and bone atrophy, there is a relative loss ofvestibular depth. This is a function of resorption of the ridge crest in a sulcular

    direction, toward the attachment of the sulcular muscles (mentalis, buccinator,

    etc.). In a fashion similar to the excision of epulis fissuratum, the sulcus depth

    can be regained and maintained by the creation of a partial thickness wound(leaving periosteum intact and on the bone) and then relining the defect with

    palatal mucosa or a partial thickness skin graft. This procedure is technically

    demanding and carries with it increased morbidity (pain, swelling and

    potential complications. This requires wiring of the denture in place for

    approximately two weeks. This is usually done with fixation screws or

    circummandibular / circumzygomatic wires.

    Bone grafting to the ridge from hip (iliac crest) or rib is technically verydemanding, and carries with it a high level of morbidity (pain, swelling, risk

    of complications). Furthermore, it also has a relatively poor prognosis, with a

    return to pre-op bone levels within five years.

    B. Pre-orthodontic Surgery (Orthognatic)Most permanent teeth erupt into occlusion. In some individuals, however, the permanent

    teeth may fail to erupt and become impacted within the alveolus.

    The timing of orthodontic treatment, type of surgical procedure to uncover the impacted

    tooth, orthodontic mechanics necessary, and potential problems with treatment vary,

    depending on which tooth has become impacted.

    The most commonly impacted tooth is the maxillary canine, followed by the maxillary

    central incisor. The usual cause of impaction of the maxillary central incisor is the

    presence of a supernumerary tooth or mesiodens. If the supernumerary tooth is

    discovered early and extracted, the central incisor may erupt spontaneously. If the root of

    the impacted incisor forms completely and the mesiodens has not been removed,

    however, then the central incisor may not erupt spontaneously. Labial impaction of the

    maxillary canine over the maxillary lateral incisor occurs occasionally. This type of

    impaction is due to one of two causes. Either the canine moves ectopically over the labial

    surface of the maxillary lateral incisor root and fails to erupt, or the maxillary dental

    midline may shift toward the canine, causing it to be impacted labially.

    Indication and Contraindication of pre-treatment surgery

    Hard Tissue Lesions or Abnormalities

    The abnormalities associated with hard tissues are classified into two categories:

    a. Those that may be smoothed with alveoloplasty immediately after extraction of the teeth

    (sharp spicules, bone edges),or those detected an drecontoured in an edentulous alveolar ridge.

    b. Congenital abnormalities, such as torus palatinus, torus mandibularis, multiple exostoses.

    After the natural dentition is lost, the patient can have an alveolar ridge with irregularities,

    undercuts, scarring, and insertion of perioral muscles that interfere with the stability of the

    prosthesis. Changes in the soft tissues are related to the degree of underlying jaw atrophy.

    Subsequent to extractions, nature steps in to begin the process of alveolar ridge resorption. This

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    9/40

    9 | P a g e

    process is rapid following extractions and then slows down to achieve a balance between

    osteoblastic and osteoclastic activity. Over a period of years, patients often end up with an

    edentulous bony ridge that lacks adequate prosthetic support. Immediate and late consequences

    of edentulism require a careful evaluation of the intraoral supporting structures in order to

    provide proper rehabilitation and to minimize the ongoing process of bone loss. Irregular

    alveolar ridges, undercuts, tori, large maxillary tuberosities, and shallow vestibules are some of

    the problems that can interfere with dental prosthetic rehabilitation.

    1. Indicationa. Complete or partial edentulism secondary to early tooth lossb. Naturally occurring reduction of the residual bony ridge

    - Jaw atrophy (Class II - VI)- Mucosal atrophy- Interarch changes (vertical, anterior/posterior, transverse)- Reduction of denture bearing are- Muscle hypotonia- Facial changes

    paraesthesia to anaesthesia or pain arising from traumatized nerve trunks)

    COMPROMISED CONDITION

    Diabetes Mellitus

    Diabetes mellitus is caused by and underproduction of insulin, a resistance of insulin receptors in

    end-organs to the effect of insulin, or both. Diabetes is divided into insulin-dependent and non-

    insulin-dependent.

    1. Insulin dependent usually begins in children or teenagers.Effect: The major problem of insulin dependent DM is the inability of the patient to use

    glucose. The serum glucose rises above the level that the renal can reabsorb normally and

    causing glucosuria. The osmotic effect of the glucouse solute results in polyuria,

    stimulating the patient thirst and causing polydypsia. The carbohydrate metabolism is

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    11/40

    11 | P a g e

    altered, leading to fat breakdown and production of ketone bodies. This can produce

    ketoacidosis and tachypnea with somnolence (sleepy) and eventually coma.

    People with insulin-dependent DM must strike a balance among caloric intake, exercise,

    and insulin administration. Any decrease in regular caloric intake or increase in activity,

    metabolic rare, or insulin dose can lead to hypoglycemia and vice versa.

    2. Non-insulin-dependent produce insulin but in insufficient amounts because ofdecreased insulin activity, insulin receptor resistance, or both. This form of diabetes

    begins in adulthood, is exacerbated by obesity, and usually does not require insulin

    therapy. It is treated by weight control, dietary restriction, and the use of oral

    hypoglycemics. Insulin is required only if the patient is unable to maintain acceptable

    serum glucose label s using the usual therapeutic measures. Severe hypoglycemia in non-

    insulin-dependent diabetic patients rarely produces ketoacidosis but leads to a

    hyperosmolar state with altered levels of consciousness.

    Consideration to diabetes mellitus

    Hypoglycemic patient

    Untreated insulin-dependent diabetes patient has a risk of ketoacidosis and its attendant alteration

    of consciousness require the emergency treatment. Short-term mild-to-moderate hyperglycemia

    usually is not a significant problem for people with diabetes. Therefore when an oral surgical

    procedure is planned it is best to err on the side of hyperglycemia rather than hypoglycemia. It is

    good to avoid an excessive insulin dose and to give a glucose source. Ambulatory oral surgery

    procedures should be performed early in the day, using an anxiety-reduction program. If

    intravenous sedation is not being used, the patient should be asked to eat a normal meal and take

    the usual morning amount of regular insulin and a half dose of NPH ( neutral protamine

    Hagedorn)insulin. The patients vital signs should be monitored, and, if signs of hypoglycemia,

    such as hypotension, hunger, drowsiness, nausea, diaphoresis, tachycardia, or a moodchange occur, an oral or intravenous supply of glucose should be administered. If the patient

    temporarily will be unable to eat after surgery, any delayed-action (most commonly NPH)

    insulin normally taken in the morning should be eliminated and restarted only after normal

    caloric intake resumes. The patient should be advised to monitored urine of serum glucose

    closely for the first 24 hours postoperatively. Some dental offices have their own serum glucose-

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    12/40

    12 | P a g e

    monitoring equipment to use to quickly test diabetic patients while in the office. If a patient must

    miss a meal before an oral surgical procedure, the patient should be told not to take any morning

    insulin until intravenous glucose in water is started in the office. One half of the usual dose of

    regular insulin and no NPH insulin should be used in this situation. Regular insulin should then

    be used, with the dose based on serum or urinary glucose monitoring and as directed by the

    patients physician.

    Emergency Procedure also can be stopped if the patient has the symptom of hypoglycemia

    and allow the patient to consume a high-caloric carbohydrate (e.g: packets of sugar, a glass of

    fruit juice, or sugar containing carbonated soda). If the patient falls rapidly into unconsciousness

    or unable to take the sugar from the mouth access, intra venous access can be applied with an

    ampule (50 ml) of 50% glucose (dextrose) in water administered 2 to 3 minutes. If intravenous

    cannot be accessed, the intramuscularly access can be applied with 50% of glucose and glucagon,

    or subcutaneously with 0.5 ml dose of 1:1000 epinephrine that repeated every 15 minutes.

    Body defense

    People with well-controlled diabetes are no more susceptible to infections than people without

    diabetes, but they have more difficulty containing infections. This is caused by altered leukocyte

    function, as well as by other factors that affect the bodys ability to control an infection.

    Difficulty in containing infections is more significant in people with poorly controlled diabetes.

    Therefore elective oral surgery should be deferred in patients with poorly controlled diabetes

    until control is accomplished. However, if an emergency situation or a serious oral infection

    exists in any person with diabetes, consideration should be given to hospital admission to allow

    for acute control of the hyperglycemia and aggressive management of the infection. Many

    clinicians also believe that prophylactic antibiotics should be given routinely to patients with

    diabetes undergoing any surgical procedure. However, this position is controversial.

    Management

    PREGNANT

    A pregnant patient, although not considered medically compromised, poses a unique set

    of management considerations for the dentist. Dental care must be rendered to the mother

    without adversely affecting the developing fetus, and although routine dental care generally is

    safe for the pregnant patient, the delivery of such care involves some potentially harmful

    elements, including the use of ionizing radiation and certain drugs. Thus, the prudent practitioner

    must balance the beneficial aspects of dentistry with potentially harmful procedures byminimizing or avoiding exposure of the patient (and the developing fetus).

    DENTAL MANAGEMENT

    Medical Considerations

    Management recommendations during pregnancy should be viewed as general

    guidelinesnot as definitive rules. The dentist should assess the general health of the patient

    through a thorough medical history. Information to ascertain includes current physician,

    medications taken, use of tobacco, alcohol, or illicit drugs, history of gestational diabetes,

    miscarriage, hypertension, and morning sickness. If the need arises, the patients obstetrician

    should be consulted.

    Pregnancy is a special event in a womans life; hence, it is an emotionally charged

    experience. Establishing a good patient-dentist relationship that encourages openness, honesty,

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    15/40

    15 | P a g e

    and trust is an integral part of successful management. This kind of relationship greatly reduces

    stress and anxiety for both patient and dentist.

    As with all patients, measuring vital signs is important for identifying undiagnosed

    abnormalities and the need for corrective action. At a minimum, blood pressure and pulse should

    be measured. Systolic pressure at or above 140 mm Hg and diastolic pressure at or above 90 mm

    Hg are signs of hypertension. Also, clinical concern is appropriate if the patients blood pressure

    increases 30 mm Hg or more in systolic or increases 15 mm Hg in diastolic blood pressure over

    pre-pregnancy values, because these changes can be a sign of preeclampsia. 16 Confirmed

    hypertensive values dictate that the patient be referred to a physician to ensure that preeclampsia

    and other cardiovascular disorders are properly diagnosed and managed.

    Preventive Program.

    An important objective in planning dental treatment for a pregnant patient is to establish a

    healthy oral environment and an optimum level of oral hygiene. This essentially consists of a

    plaque control program that minimizes the exaggerated inflammatory response of gingival

    tissues to local irritants that commonly accompany the hormonal changes of pregnancy.

    Acceptable oral hygiene techniques should be taught, reinforced, and monitored. Diet

    counseling, with emphasis on limiting the intake of refined carbohydrates and carbonated soft

    drinks, should be provided. Coronal scaling and polishing or root curettage may be performed

    whenever necessary. Preventive plaque control measures should be provided and emphasized

    throughout pregnancy, including the first trimester, for benefit to the pregnant mother and the

    developing baby.

    Treatment Timing

    Other than as part of a good plaque control program, elective dental care is best avoided

    during the first trimester because of the potential vulnerability of the fetus. The second trimester

    is the safest period during which to provide routine dental care. Emphasis should be placed on

    controlling active disease and eliminating potential problems that could occur later in pregnancy

    or during the immediate postpartum period, because providing dental care during these periods

    often is difficult. Extensive reconstruction or significant surgical procedures are best postponed

    until after delivery.

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    16/40

    16 | P a g e

    The early part of the third trimester is still a good time to provide routine dental care.

    After the middle of the third trimester, however, elective dental care is best postponed. This is

    because of the increasing feeling of discomfort that many expectant mothers may experience.

    Prolonged time in the dental chair should be avoided, to prevent the complication of supine

    hypotension. If supine hypotension develops, rolling the patient onto her left side affords return

    of circulation to the heart. Scheduling short appointments, allowing the patient to assume a

    semireclining position, and encouraging frequent changes of position can help to minimize

    problems.

    Dental Radiographs

    Dental radiography is one of the more controversial areas in the management of a

    pregnant patient. Pregnant patients who require radiographs often have anxiety about the adverse

    effects of x-rays on their baby. In some instances, their obstetrician or primary care physician

    may reinforce these fears. In almost all cases involving dental radiography, these fears are

    unfounded. The safety of dental radiography has been well established, provided that features

    such as fast exposure techniques (e.g., high-speed film or digital imaging), filtration, collimation,

    lead aprons, and thyroid collars are used. Of all aids, the most important for the pregnant patient

    are the protective lead apron and the thyroid collar. In addition, the use of digital radiography

    markedly reduces radiation exposure to no more than that with the use of F-speed film.

    In spite of the safety of dental radiography, ionizing radiation should be avoided, if

    possible, during pregnancy, especially during the first trimester, because the developing fetus is

    particularly susceptible to radiation damage. However, should dental treatment become

    necessary, radiographs may be required for accurate diagnosis and treatment. The American

    Academy of Pediatrics and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists have

    published guidelines stating: Diagnostic radiologic procedures should not be performed during

    pregnancy unless the information to be obtained from them is necessary for the care of the

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    17/40

    17 | P a g e

    patient andcannot be obtained by other means. Therefore, the dentist should understand the

    risks of ionizing radiation and know how to proceed as safely as possible in the event that

    radiographs are needed.Bitewing, panoramic, or selected periapical films are recommended for

    minimizing patient dose.

    Drug Administration

    Another controversial area in the treatment of the pregnant dental patient is drug

    administration. The principal concern is that a drug may cross the placenta, with the potential for

    toxic or teratogenic effects on the fetus. Additionally, any drug that is a respiratory depressant

    may cause maternal hypoxia, resulting in fetal hypoxia, injury, or death.

    Ideally, no drug should be administered during pregnancy, especially during the first

    trimester. Strict adherence to this rule, however, is sometimes impossible. Fortunately, most of

    the commonly used drugs in dental practice can be given during pregnancy with relative

    safety, although a few exceptions are notable. Table available below presents a suggested

    approach to drug usage for pregnant patients.

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    18/40

    18 | P a g e

    Local Anesthetics. Local anesthetics administered with epinephrine generally are considered

    safe for use during pregnancy. Although both the local anesthetic and the vasoconstrictor cross

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    19/40

    19 | P a g e

    the placenta, subtoxic threshold doses have not been shown to cause fetal abnormalities. Because

    of adverse effects associated with high levels of local anesthetics, it is important not to exceed

    the manufacturers recommended maximum dose.

    Analgesics. The analgesic of choice during pregnancy is acetaminophen. Aspirin and

    nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs convey risks for constriction of the ductus arteriosus, as

    well as for postpartum hemorrhage and delayed labor. The risk of these adverse events increases

    when agents are administered during the third trimester. Risk also is more closely associated

    with prolonged administration, high dosage, and selectively potent anti-inflammatory drugs, such

    as indomethacin. Codeine and propoxyphene are associated with multiple congenital defects and

    should be used cautiously and only if needed. The safety of hydrocodone and oxycodone is

    unclear.

    Antibiotics. Penicillins (including amoxicillin), erythromycin (except in estolate form),

    cephalosporins, metronidazole, and clindamycin are generally considered to be safe for the

    PRE-PROSTHETIC SURGERY

    ALVEOPLASTY

    Alveoplasty is contouring of the alveolar ridge to remove any irregularities and undercuts. Most

    alveoplasties are performed on the maxilla and anterior mandible. The goals are to provide a

    stable base for the prosthesis and preserve as much alveolar bone as possible. Always be

    conservative when removing bone.

    Surgical Technique for an Al veoplasty in an Edentu lous Patient

    1. After adequate local anesthesia is obtained, a crestal incision is made over the area. Avertical release incision should be made when there is a risk of tearing the soft tissue flap.

    An ellips incision also can be made for single alveoplasty. Be careful with anatomical

    structures such as the mental nerve and always maintain a wide-base flap. A thin ridge in

    the anterior mandible presents a challenge because it is possible to end up in the floor of

    the mouth.

    2. Use a periosteal elevator to raise a fullthickness flap. Keep the pointed edge of theelevator against bone at all times to minimize tissue perforation. If a vertical release

    incision was made, start the reflection where it joins the crestal incision.

    3. Reflect the flap enough to identify the areas needing to be smoothed. When the full-thickness flap is reflected, use a Seldin or Minnesota retractor to retract and protect the

    flap.

    4. Contour the bone with a bone file, rongeurs, and/or round bur mounted on a slow-speedhandpiece. Undercuts and sharp edges are eliminated, but the contouring does not have to

    be perfectly smooth. Frequently reposition the flap and try to feel the bone (with a gloved

    finger through soft tissue) for irregularities. Never perform digital palpation of the bone

    directly because some irregularities are minimal and will not be noticeable or significant

    enough to remove with the flap in position.

    5. Use the bone file for final contouring and smoothing of the bone.6. Irrigate the areaespecially at the bottom of the flap, where bone debris frequently

    accumulates. Normal saline irrigation is used to keep bony temperatures < 47C to

    maintain bone viability.

    7. Reposition the flap to its original position

    ALVEOLECTOMY AND ALVEOLOTOMY

    According to Pedersen, Alveolectomy is a radical surgery to reduce or take alveolar processus ,

    so mucosa apposition can be done, which is a procedure that is done to prepare the ridge before

    radiation therapy. Alveolotomy is partial taking of alveolar processus or the bone between roots

    in order to get molding and contouring.

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    22/40

    22 | P a g e

    The indications for these procedures are rare but may be of value where excessive anterior

    projection of the ridge in the upper premaxillary area might pose problems for future denture

    aesthetics or stability.

    Management

    Alveolectomy involves reduction in both the height and width of the ridge and is mainly

    accomplished by reduction of the labial plate. The mucoperiosteum is best raised with a 'U'-

    shaped incision to allow access. Bone rongeurs or larger 'acrylic' burs can be used to reduce the

    labial plate prominence and, on occasion, also the interdental septae. The bony margin is then

    smoothed with a file and the wound closed with sutures.

    Transeptal or interseptal alveolotomy reduces the labial prominence but maintains the height of

    the ridge. Following extraction of the incisors and canines, the interdental septum is removed

    between each socket and the labial plate is then fractured inwards with firm digital pressure. A

    vertical cut may be needed over the canine prominence labially to facilitate this fracture. The

    labial plate will still be attached to its overlying periosteum and should therefore remain viable.

    These operations may be facilitated by cooperation with the prosthodontist, who can provide the

    surgeon with a template of acrylic that is made on the cast trimmed to the desired contour.

    Unless the patient desires an aesthetic change, these procedures are becoming less frequent.

    Treatment of the Labial and Lingual Frenum

    Labial Frenectomy

    Labial frenum attachments consist of thin bands of fibrous tissue covered with mucosa extending from the

    lip and cheek to the alveolar periosteum. The height of this attachment varies from individual to

    individual; however, in dentate individuals frenum attachments rarely cause a prob- lem. In edentulous

    individuals frenum attachments may interfere with fit and sta- bility, produce discomfort, and dislodge the

    overlying prostheses.

    Several surgical methods are effective in excising these attachments. Simple exci- sion and Z-plasty are

    effective for narrow frenum attachments. Vestibuloplasty is often indicated for frenum attachments with a

    wide base.

    Local anesthetic infiltration is per- formed in a regional fashion that avoids direct infiltration into the

    frenum itself; such an infiltration distorts the anatomy and leads to misidentification of the frenum.

    Eversion of the lip also helps one identify the anatomic frenum and assists with the excision. An elliptic

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    23/40

    23 | P a g e

    incision around the proposed frenum is completed in a supraperiosteal fashion. Sharp dissec- tion of the

    frenum using curved scissors removes mucosa and underlying connec- tive tissue leading to a broad base

    of periosteum attached to the underlying bone. Once tissue margins are under- mined and wound edges

    are approximat- ed, closure can proceed with resorbable sutures in an interrupted fashion. Sutures should

    encounter the periosteum, espe- cially at the depth of the vestibule to main- tain alveolar ridge height.

    This also reduces hematoma formation and allows for the preservation of alveolar anatomy.

    In the Z-plasty technique, excision of the connective tissue is done similar to that described previously.

    Two releasing incisions creating a Z shape precede undermining of the flaps. The two flaps are eventually

    undermined and rotated to close the initial vertical incision horizon- tally. By using the transposition flaps,

    this technique virtually increases vestibular depth and should be used when alveolar height is in question.

    Wide-based frenum attachments may best be treated with a localized vestibulo- plasty technique. A

    supraperiosteal dissec- tion is used to expose the underlying perios- teum. Superior repositioning of the

    mucosa is completed, and the wound margin is sutured to the underlying periosteum at the depth of the

    vestibule. Healing proceeds by secondary intention. A preexisting denture or stent may be used for patient

    comfort in the initial postoperative period.

    Lingual Frenectomy

    High lingual frenum attachments may consist of different tissue types including mucosa, connective tissue,

    and superficial genioglossus muscle fibers. This attach- ment can interfere with denture stability, speech,

    and the tongues range of motion. Bilateral lingual blocks and local infiltra- tion in the anterior mandible

    provide ade- quate anesthesia for the lingual frenum excision. To provide adequate traction, a suture is

    placed through the tip of the tongue. Surgical release of the lingual frenum requires dividing the

    attachment of the fibrous connective tissue at the base of the tongue in a transverse fashion, fol- lowed by

    closure in a linear direction, which completely releases the ventral aspect of the tongue from the alveolar

    ridge Electrocautery or a hemostat can be used to minimize blood loss and improve visibility. After

    removal of the hemostat, an incision is created through the area previously closed within the hemostat.

    Careful attention must be given to Whartons ducts and superficial blood vessels in the floor of the mouth

    and ventral tongue. The edges of the incision are undermined, and the wound edges are approximated and

    closed with a running resorbable suture, burying the knots to minimize patient discomfort.

    RIDGE EXTENSION

    VESTIBULOPLASTY

    Vestibuloplasty A surgical procedure to restore alveolar ridge height by lowering muscles

    attaching to the buccal, labial, and lingual aspects of the jaws

    Maxillary alveolar bone resorption frequently results in mucosal and muscle attachments that

    interfere with denture construction, stability, and retention. Excess soft tissue may accompany

    bony resorption, or soft tissue may require modification. Several techniques provide additional

    fixed mucosa and vestibular depth in the maxillary denture-bearing area

    Traditional Flap Vestibuloplasty (Lip Switch)

    In this procedure a mucosal flap pedicled from the alveolar ridge is elevated from the underlying

    tissue and sutured to the depth of the vestibule. The inner portion of the lip is allowed to heal by

    secondary epithelialization.

    When adequate mandibular height exists, this procedure increases the anterior vestibular area,

    which improves denture retention and stability. The primary indications for the procedure

    include adequate anterior mandibular height (at least 15 mm), inadequate facial vestibular depth

    from mucosal and muscular attachments in the anterior mandible, and the presence of an

    adequate vestibular depth on the lingual aspect of the mandible.

    These techniques provide adequate results in many cases and generally do not require

    hospitalization, donor-site surgery, or prolonged periods without a denture.

    Disadvantages include unpredictability of the amount of relapse of the vestibular depth, scarring

    in the depth of the vestibule, and problems with adaptation of the peripheral flange area of the

    denture to the depth of the vestibule.

    Vestibule and Floor of Mouth Extension Procedures

    In addition to the attachment of labial muscles and soft tissues to the denture-bearing area, the

    mylohyoid and genioglossus muscles in the floor of the mouth present similar problems on the

    lingual aspect of the mandible. Trauner described detaching the mylohyoid muscles from the

    mylohyoid ridge area and repositioning them interiorly, effectively deepening the floor of the

    mouth area and relieving the influence of the mylohyoid mus-

    cle on the denture. After the two vestibular extension techniques, a skin graft can be used to

    cover the area of denuded periosteum. The combination procedure effectively eliminates thedislodging forces of the mucosa and muscle attachments and provides a broad base of fixed kera-

    tinized tissue on the primary denture-bearing area.

    Split-thickness skin grafting with the buccal vestibuloplasty and floor-of-mouth procedure is

    indicated when adequate alveolar ridge for a denture-bearing area is lost but at least 15 mm of

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    28/40

    28 | P a g e

    mandibular bone height remains. The remaining bone must have adequate contour so that the

    form of the alveolar ridge exposed after the procedure is adequate for denture construction.

    Endosteal implants are generally a much more suitable treatment and therefore vestibuloplasty

    with skin grafting is not commonly performed. If gross bony irregularities exist, such as large

    concavities in the superior aspect of the posterior mandible, they should be corrected through

    grafting or minor alveoloplasty procedures before the soft tissue procedure.

    29 | P a g e

    The advantage of early covering of the exposed periosteal bed improves patient comfort and

    allows earlier denture construction, the long-term results of vestibular extension are predictable.

    Disadvantage need for hospitalization and donorsite surgery combined with the moderate

    swelling and discomfort experienced by the patient. Patients rarely complain about the

    appearance or function of skin in the oral cavity. If the skin graft is too thick at the time of

    30 | P a g e

    harvesting, hair follicles may not totally degenerate, and hair growth may occasionally be seen in

    isolated areas of the graft.

    Tissue other than skin has been used effectively for grafting over the alveolar ridge. Palatal tissue

    offers the potential advantages of providing a firm, resilient tissue, with minimal contraction of

    the grafted area. Although palatal tissue is relatively easy to obtain at the time of surgery, the

    limited amount of tissue and the discomfort associated with donor-site harvest-ing are the

    primary drawbacks. In areas where only a small localized graft is required, palatal tissue is

    usually adequate.

    Full-thickness buccal mucosa harvested from the inner aspect of the cheek provides advantages

    similar to those of palatal tissue. However, the need for specialized mucotomes to harvest buccal

    mucosa and extensive buccal mucosa scarring after harvesting of a full-thickness graft are

    disadvantages. This mucosa does not become kera-tinized, is generally mobile, and often results

    in an inade-quate denture-bearing surface.

    Maxillary Submucosal Vestibuloplasty

    The submucosal vestibuloplasty may be the procedure of choice for correction of soft tissue

    attachment on or near the crest of the alveolar ridge of the maxilla. This technique is particularly

    useful when maxillary alveolar ridge resorption has occurred but the residual bony maxilla is

    adequate for proper denture support. Underlying submucosal tissue is either excised or

    repositioned to allow direct apposition of the labiovestibular mucosa to the periosteum of the

    remaining maxilla.

    To provide adequate vestibular depth without producing an abnormal appearance of the upper lip,

    adequate mucosal length must be available in this area. A simple test to determine whether

    adequate labiovestibular mucosa is present is performed by placing a dental mouth mirror under

    the upper lip and elevating the superior aspect of the vestibule to the desired postoperative depth.

    If no inversion or shortening of the lip occurs, then adequate mucosa is present to perform a

    proper submucosal vestibuloplasty.

    31 | P a g e

    The submucosal vestibuloplasty can generally be performed with local anesthetic and

    intravenous (IV) sedation in an outpatient setting. A midline incision is made in the anterior

    32/40

    32 | P a g e

    maxilla, and the mucosa is undermined and separated from the underlying submucosal tissue. A

    supraperiosteal tunnel is then developed by dissecting the muscular and submucosal attachments

    from the periosteum. The intermediate layer of tissue created by the two tunneling dissections is

    incised at its attachment area near the crest of the alveolar ridge. This submucosal and muscular

    tissue can be repositioned superiorly or excised. After closure of the midline incision, a

    preexisting denture or prefabricated splint is modified to extend into the vestibular areas and is

    secured with palatal screws for 7 to 10 days to hold the mucosa over the ridge in close apposition

    to the periosteum. When healing takes place, usually within 3 weeks, the mucosa is closely

    adapted to the anterior and lateral walls of the maxilla at the required depth of the vestibule.

    The maxillary submucosal vestibuloplasty can also be combined with HA augmentation of the

    alveolar ridge area. A subperiosteal tunnel can be created using a tech-nique similar to standard

    maxillary HA augmentation procedures.33

    By incising the periosteum high on the lat-eral aspect

    of the mandible, the periosteal envelope can be enlarged to allow greater HA augmentation in

    this area.

    Increasing the size of the alveolar ridge

    There are two aspects to surgically increasing the denture bearing area:

    Sulcus deepening Ridge augmentation

    Sulcus deepening

    The size of the denture-bearing area can be increased by deepening the sulci providing there is

    adequate underlying bone. That this is difflcult to do satisfactorily is proved by the number of

    operations designed to this end, of which only a few are described here.

    Deepening of the buccal sulcus in the maxilla is seldom necessary as the palate provides a large

    denture-bearing area.

    Retention and support for the lower denture would often benefit from deepening of the sulci

    particularly where muscle attachments have come to lie near the crest of the ridge:

    Anteriorly the mentalis muscle laterally the buccinators muscle and lingually the mylohyoid muscle are involved.

    To deepen the sulci effectively, these muscles must be detached from the mandible and the

    mucosa made to heal with a new reflection at a lower level. This last is the most difficult part of

    the operation. It is complicated by the presence of the mental nerve which must be located and

    preserved from accidental damage.

    The procedures available can be considered in four groups.

    1. Mucosa is advanced to line both sides of an extended sulcus (submucosal vestibuloplasty)An example of this group is obwegeser's operation. This attempts to divide the muscle

    attachments and deepen the buccal sulcus without making a flap or leaving raw areas. The

    procedure is usually performed in the maxilla.

    Two vertical incisions 1cm long are made in the buccals sulcus of the canine regions or asingle incision in the mid-line. Scissors or a scalpel are then passed between mucosa and

    periosteum. The muscle attachments on the buccal aspect are cut, as far back and upwards as

    possible to free the mucosa. This is drawn up and the sulcus maintained by using a denture lined

    with gutta percha.one or two bones crewsin the palate retain the denture for 2 weeks.

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    35/40

    35 | P a g e

    Obwegeser's operation has the disadvantage that it is performed blind and if bleeding occurs the

    new sulcus may be obliterated.

    2. skin is transplanted to line both sides of an extended sulcus (buccal inlay)In this operation a pouch is made in the mandibular buccal sulcus which is lined with a split-

    thickness skin graft from the patient's arm or thigh.

    An incision is made in the mandibular labial sulcus and a pouch dissected to the required size.

    This must leave the periosteum intact and attached to bone. An acrylic splint with a gutta percha

    mould, larger than will eventually be required, is made. where the skin graft and mucous

    membrane meet, the mould is grooved so that on healing the ring scar contracts into the groove.

    The mould is chilled and the skin graft attached to it with the raw surface outwards. This is then

    placed in the pouch and the splint secured to the mandible with circumferential wires for two

    weeks.

    3. skin is transplanted to line one side of an extended sulcus (lower labial vestibuloplasty)An incision is made along the mandibular alveolar crest from canine to canine. The incision

    goes through the mucosa bur not through the mentalis muscle or the periosteum. The mucosal

    flap is dissected off periosteum and muscles. care must be taken not to tear the mucosa.

    Dissection is continued past the reflection just short of the inner margin of the lip. The mentalis

    muscle is then divided with a scapel close to the periosteum which is left undisturbed. The

    muscle will retract into the deepert issues. The mucosal flap is repositioned to cover the labial

    side of the new sulcus and held in position by sutures through the periosteum. A split thickness

    skin graft is placed against the raw area of the periosteum with a gutta percha mould on an

    acrylic splint. In this way,the labial aspect of the new sulcus is lined with mucosa, and the

    periosteum with the skin graft.

    4. Lowering of floor of mouth and vestibuloplasty.This operation, described by Obwegeser, combines a buccal vestibuloplasty skin graft with a

    vestibuloplasty on the lingual aspect of the ridge which heals by secondary epithelialisation. The

    mucosal flaps on the buccal and lingual sides are held down in the depths of the new sulci by

    sutures passing under the mandible.

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    36/40

    36 | P a g e

    In the vestibuloplasty procedures, the splint or modifled denture must maintained in place for 2-3

    weeks to allow initial healing. During this period, a high standard of oral hygiene is vital.

    Following removal of the splint, there is a marked tendency for the sulcus to contract. To reduce

    this, the denture must be modifled to extend into the full depth of the sulcus and be worn

    contiously for several weeks.

    PRE-ORTHODONTHY SURGERY

    Surgical exposure of impacted teeth

    In general, there are 2 basic approaches to surgically exposing impacted teeth:

    1. The open eruption techniqueIn this method, the teeth is exposed to the oral environment, while surrounded by freshly

    trimmed soft tissue of the palate or labial oral mucosa, following the removal of the

    mucosa and bone which is actually covering the tooth.

    Divided into 2 method:

    a. The window techniqueWindow technique involves the surgical removal of a circular section of the

    overlying mucosa and the thin bony recovering. For most labially displaced teeth,

    due to their height, this entire surgical procedure would most likely only bepossible above the level of attached gingival, in the mobile area of the mucosa.

    This is the simplest, most conservative and most direct manner to expose a tooth

    which is palpable immediately under the oral mucosa and it may often be

    accomplished with surface anaesthetic spray only.

    An attachment may then be bonded to the tooth and orthodontically encouraged

    eruption may proceed without delay, to complete its alignment within a very short

    time.

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    37/40

    37 | P a g e

    The only situation in which this exposure procedure is clinically advantageous is

    when there is a very wide band of attached gingival and where a labially impacted

    tooth is situated well down in this band, such that a simple removal of the tissue

    overlying the crown will still leave 1-2 mm of bound epithelial attachment

    inferior to the free, movable, oral mucosal lining of the sulcus.

    The palatal mucosa is very thick and thighly bound down to the underlying bone.

    Thus, no parallel precausions need to be made to ensure a good attachment for the

    final periodontal status of a palatally impacted tooth, following its eruption into

    the palate. When the window technique is used on the palatal side, the cut edges

    of the wound need to be substantially trimmed back and the dental follicle

    removed to prevent re-closure of the very considerable width of palatal soft tissue

    over the exposed tooth. For a deeply buried palatal canine, the exposure will

    additionally need to be maintained using a surgical pack.

    b. The apically repositioned flapThe apically repositioned flap is an alternative way of performing an open

    exposure technique on the buccal side. It is aimed at improving the periodontal

    outcome by ensuring that attached gingival covers the labial aspect of the erupted

    tooth in the final instance. This is done by raising a labial flap, taken from the

    crest of the ridge, and relocating it higher up on the crown of the newly exposed

    tooth. This particular method of exposure is best situated above the band of

  • 7/30/2019 BAB 2 Exam, Vestiplast, Window, Indi Contindi

    38/40

    38 | P a g e

    attached gingival, but which are not displaced mesially or distally from their place

    in the dental arch.

    2.

    The closed eruption technique

    The closed eruption technique has an attachment placed at the time of the exposure and

    the tissues fully replaced and sutured to their former place, to re-cover the impacted tooth.

    For a buccally impacted tooth, a surgical flap is raised from the attached gingival at the

    crest of the ridge, with suitable vertical releasing cuts, and elevated as high as is

    necessary to expose the unerupted tooth. An attachment is then bonded and the flap fully

    sutured back to its former place. The twisted stainless steel ligature wire or gold chain,

    which is preferred by some clinicians, which has been tied or linked to the attachment, is

    then drawn inferiorly and through the sutured edges of the fully replaced flap. The

    surgical wound is, therefore, completely closed and the exposed tooth and its newattachment are sealed off from the oral environment. Traction is then applied to the

    twisted stainless steel ligature or gold chain to bring about the full eruption of the tooth.

    In this method, the tooth progresses towards and through the area of the attached gingiva

    several weeks or months after complete healing of the repositioned surgical flap has

    occurred and it creates its own portal through which it exits the tissues and erupts into the

    mouth. As such, it very closely simulates normal eruption and the clinical outcome will

    usually be difficult to distinguish from any normally and spontaneously erupting tooth, in

    terms of its clinical appearance and objective periodontal parameters.
