How to Extract Teeth in Dentistry | Power Dental Instruments — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00hey guys this is the first of many videos to be released in our new oral surgery playlist
- 0:04I'm going to be demonstrating how to do simple extractions and introducing you to some of the
- 0:08instruments that we use and as we go along I'm going to be dropping in some physiology on how
- 0:12the body is reacting while we carry out this procedure as well as the healing process I hope
- 0:16you guys find this video useful a quick story before we get started so this is me minding my
- 0:20own business at the Birmingham Dentistry show when I came across Kyle at Power Group Dental
- 0:24from the US I caught a glimpse of some oral surgery equipment and rushed over like a kid
- 0:28to Candy he started showing me his equip and I was like oh damn this is a bit out of my budget
- 0:32I'll just buy this little measly periotome and be on my way I fell so in love with the instrument
- 0:36I actually contacted him a few months later and I was like let's do something together you have
- 0:40some amazing instruments that I'd love to try and I have a platform where I can share these
- 0:43instruments with other colleagues who would be interested in seeing what's out there next thing
- 0:47you know he actually sent some over to me to give an honest review this is not a sponsored video
- 0:51there's no money that exchanged hands I told Kyle if I don't like something I'm going to say it and
- 0:55he was cool with that okay let's get started let's assume you find a patient that's fit well you've
- 1:01got your radiograph and diagnosis and you've checked that they're completely anesthetized
- 1:04all the way around and within the two the first thing you always need is a plan A and A Plan B
- 1:09a great teacher of mine once told me that if you make no progress within 5 minutes move on to the
- 1:15next plan you need to use the radaph to assess the coronal and apical pathology bone height
- 1:19and quality root morphology and the presence of a ladura and the PDL space or if there is ankis
- 1:25anywhere along the route for a simple extraction you basically need three types of instruments Lu
- 1:30ators elevators and forceps there are other instruments and materials you could use which
- 1:35are more relevant to at traumatic extractions like scalpel periotomes mitual trimmers degranulation
- 1:41instruments and burs amongst many many more and this will be covered in a separate video at some
- 1:46point in the future so first you'll want to reach for your luxators initially these could look a
- 1:50bit like elevators but by the end of this video you'll be able to tell the difference quite easily
- 1:54the purpose of the luxators is to wedge in between the bone and the tooth tear the PDL and create an
- 1:59application point for your elevators the way that you would create an application point is by coming
- 2:05in by the long axis of the tooth and rotating 10:00 to 2:00 back and forth depending on the
- 2:11application point and pushing the bone away from the tooth I generally start misio buckle and then
- 2:16move to disto Buckley and kind of play about with it like that depending on the root morphology the
- 2:21important thing to note while removing teeth is that you should never be leaning on adjacent teeth
- 2:26unless you're planning to remove that one also if you start leaning on the adjacent tooth you could
- 2:29damage the adjacent tooth either by making it mobile or damaging the PDL possibly having
- 2:34long-term inflammatory effects on the roots of the neighboring teeth also the reason that you'd use
- 2:38a luxator meally or distally is because buckly or Pally or more importantly lingually if you slip it
- 2:45could be really dangerous for the patient or you could destroy a thin Buckle plate also note down
- 2:49how I hold the luxators and later on the elevators too when you hold it in the palm of your hand like
- 2:55this with your index finger on the shank you have way more control over the luxator movement
- 3:00and are less likely to slip so the reason I really like the power dental luxus kit is
- 3:03because they're extremely thin which is going to help me wedge in between the bone and the
- 3:08root the worry with them being so thin and being made out of stainless steel is that they would
- 3:12be more brittle and likely to fracture but of course these luxators are made out of nickel
- 3:16titanium now if you know me you know that I love nickel titanium materials because they have that
- 3:20memory recoil that I really really like you might have heard me speak about the Garrison strategy
- 3:25clamp for Class 2 Composites in the past and the way it bounces back into its original position
- 3:30because it has that larger modulus of elasticity which means it's more flexible and less likely to
- 3:35plastically or permanently deform or you can bring it closer to home and think about stainless steel
- 3:39k files compared to night ey files it's the same thing here because these luxators are made of a
- 3:43flexible night ey material they can be thinner without the bigger risk of fracturing as easily
- 3:48meaning you can get deeper into the socket along the Route creating a better application point for
- 3:53your elevators the other nice thing about these luxators are these serrations this means that
- 3:58they're more likely to grip into the roof and engage them without accidentally slipping and
- 4:02these specific luxators can also be used as elevators for that reason so this kit comes
- 4:07in different sizes we have a 2.5 3.5 and 4.5 width and it can also come in either a straight
- 4:12or curved Edge I personally use one of each width for all of my extractions I usually start with a
- 4:17straight 2.5 mm then go to a straight or curved 3.5 and then finish on a curved 4.5 it really
- 4:24depends on the root morphology that I'm trying to match once you've created your application
- 4:28point you then need to pick pick up some elevators this is generally what they look like and their
- 4:32purpose is very obvious to elevate the tooth out of the socket and get it moving coronally the way
- 4:37that you do this is by engaging the root in the perpendicular direction or twisting or Levering
- 4:42against the alviola bone to lift the tooth out of the socket like this this is basically causing
- 4:47further bony socket expansion allowing more space for the tooth to be extracted again the nice thing
- 4:51about the power twist elevators is that they're quite a bit thicker and have more of a curve at
- 4:56the tip to assist in that rotational movement and again these have sharp serration to engage The
- 5:01Roots you don't really need the whole kit in my opinion if you're just getting started and these
- 5:04instruments can be bought separately the kit comes with a couple of elevators and four periotomes
- 5:09the periotomes will kind of cover a bit more in the atomatic extractions video and why that's so
- 5:14important but basically they're used to tear the PDL and don't really have many other purposes do
- 5:18not use them to elevate what I really like about these is actually the ergonomic handles which give
- 5:23me a bit more of a tactile sense for the movements that I'm doing on the teeth with the elevators
- 5:27you can still insert them from the aort direction and then go at a 40 to 90° angle from the Buckle
- 5:33Direction unlike with regular luxators but like I said earlier with the power luxators you can also
- 5:38use them to elevate because of the serration which prevents slipping and damaging of the
- 5:42soft tissues and because they're more flexible they're less likely to break you usually find
- 5:46that luxators are much sharper than elevators and that's usually the biggest tell for if an
- 5:50instrument is a luxator or an elevator traditional elevators include coupons in different sizes work
- 5:56James and criers so when are you supposed to move on from a size one coupons to a size two or a size
- 6:01three it's when you're no longer achieving any additional movement from the rotation of the size
- 6:06one then you move up to the size two I've never really used a war James and I think they're quite
- 6:09irrelevant but some oral surgeons swear by them I don't really know what the big deal is and I can
- 6:14pretty much remove any tooth in the mouth with other instruments if you really like War James
- 6:18just put a comment down below explaining why and maybe I'll give it another try I rarely use criers
- 6:22too to be honest they can be useful to break thin inter radicular bone or to pry out fractured root
- 6:28but like I said I rarely use them too but they do have their place in all honesty because the power
- 6:32luxator kit is so good I usually just stick with that unless there's a tooth that just won't budge
- 6:37despite me having moved to the largest luxator I'll move on to my elevators in the power kit
- 6:42so because I use these luxators at elevators to I would switch from a size 2.5 mm luxator
- 6:46to a 3.5 when the 2.5 is no longer creating that additional movement then I would go to a 4.5 if
- 6:53the 3.5 is no longer giving me that additional movement and finally I'll move on to my elevator
- 6:57if my 4.5 luxator isn't giving me that additional movement you can also find that you may be going
- 7:02back and forth between luxators and elevators or even just multiple different types of luxators to
- 7:07get a deeper application Point generally I even skip the couplons and go straight for the forceps
- 7:11because I've been using my luxators as elevators if you guys have found this video useful so far
- 7:16then feel free to give it a like And subscribe it really helps us push our content out there the
- 7:20purpose of the forceps are to further expand the bone and to deliver the tooth you start by placing
- 7:25the beaks of the forceps buckly and palatally engaging deep into the roots or the bation of
- 7:30a Moler for example the forceps are then used in two movements the first movement is with apical
- 7:35pressure which prevents the root from fracturing in the Apex and then while maintaining the first
- 7:39movement the second movement is a controlled and purposeful lateral movement depending on the root
- 7:44morphology following the path of least resistance this usually follows the curvatures of the roots
- 7:49and will disrupt the perodontal membrane after a minute or so of waiting for the blood to fill in
- 7:53the socket you then start integrating coronal movements instead of apical movements once you
- 7:58feel the socket has expanded a bit and with these motions you will be able to extract the tooth in
- 8:03a less damaging way without any sudden jerks this will ensure a more pleasant experience
- 8:08for the patient not only during the extraction but also during recovery looking at the power Dental
- 8:13forceps they call them the attics there are a few features that I particularly like when comparing
- 8:18them to regular forceps if you look at the inside of the beaks there are tiny serrations which help
- 8:23grip the tooth so much more than regular foret this means I don't actually need to put any
- 8:27kind of squeezing pressure on the handles can focus more on the minor motor feedback given to
- 8:32me through the tooth and can decide how it will respond based on the directional movements that
- 8:36I make more easily decreasing the likelihood of me fracturing the tooth if you look at the design
- 8:41of them all of them become narrower at the tip of the beaks this means they can engage further down
- 8:45the roote because the wider tip won't be able to exactly follow the circular shape of the root and
- 8:51when you look at the beaks they're also curved which helps to match the shape of the route also
- 8:55because the overall size is smaller you have more control over the forceps and can gain
- 8:59access to harder to reach areas the nice thing about the Moler forceps is that they can be used
- 9:04for both sides of the mouth as opposed to traditional forceps whereby there's a right
- 9:08and a left foret the uppers also have a bayonet style Contra angle for better access posteriorly
- 9:14the last thing I'm going to say about them is that they have these nice little grips on the handles
- 9:18I found that that's a common theme of all the power Dental instruments there's a lot of thought
- 9:21that has gone behind every feature of these instruments and realistically I can only think
- 9:25of two downsides one I wish the luxators had a wider handle more similar to that of the elevator
- 9:31series I just found it gives me a bit more control and secondly that these are premium products at
- 9:35premium prices they're not for everyone if you're into extractions oral surgery or implantology like
- 9:40I am I'd say they're an amazing investment and you just take out the odd Simple Mobile
- 9:44tooth here or there then maybe it's not worth it for you on the flip side if you're taking fewer
- 9:48teeth out then you'd be less confident using any odd instrument and so actually this would
- 9:52definitely make your life easier if you guys are interested in power dental tools then feel free
- 9:57to have a look in the description for if there's any promo codes the other few styles of forceps
- 10:01you might see around are root forceps cow horns or bayonets the inzer forceps in the kit usually
- 10:07cover for these as they're quite narrow at the tips of the beaks and so I never find that need
- 10:11to use the root forceps in some rare occasions I find myself actually delivering roots that
- 10:16have mobilized within the socket with something more nimble like mosquito foret with regards to
- 10:20cow horns these have sharp beaks and will engage further down under the fication all you need to
- 10:24do is squeeze and one of two things will happen either the tooth will pop out or it will fracture
- 10:28in half if the tooth snaps that also makes life easy because the fragments will come out easily
- 10:33finally bayonets are used for extracting upper posterior molers but the upper Moler foret from
- 10:37the power dental kit have the same Contra angle anyway with much better features another important
- 10:42factor is utilizing your supporting hand if you're extracting a lower right tooth you will need to
- 10:46sit the patient at a 45° angle and support their jaw with your pinky ring and middle finger with
- 10:52your index finger Buckle of the tooth and your thumb lingual of the tooth if you're extracting
- 10:57a lower left tooth you need to sit the patient at a 45° angle and come in front of them and support
- 11:03their jaw with your thumb and your index finger buckly and your middle finger lingually for upper
- 11:07teeth always lie the patient completely flat and raise the chair ask your nurse to support their
- 11:11head as you drive your forceps apically and place your thumb platal of the tooth and index finger
- 11:17buckly now that the tooth has been extracted and you've checked it's all come out with no
- 11:21roots left behind we need to understand what comes after clean the socket of any granulation tissue
- 11:26and pathology and make sure there are no sharp or thin bits of bone which can necrose using a
- 11:31mitual strammer or a spoon excavator and then flushing the socket with some sterile saline
- 11:35then you're going to want to achieve hemostasis using pressure by asking the patient to bite down
- 11:40on a bit of cause wound healing can be summarized into four stages hemostasis and coagulation the
- 11:45inflammatory phase the proliferative phase and finally modeling and remodeling within a matter
- 11:49of minutes and hours there will be some vasil constriction and the exposed collagen fibers
- 11:54from the PDL will result in Fon Vilan factors and thromboxane attracting platelets the clotting
- 11:59Cascade will result in thrombin and an unshed fiber Network a clot will form and be composed
- 12:05of red and white blood cells platelets and fibrin within the first day then the inflammatory phase
- 12:10will ramp up and within 2 to 3 days where the white blood cells called upon from the cytoid
- 12:15and the growth factors will start to phagocytose the debris and Make Way for new tissue formation
- 12:21within a week granulation tissue will replace the blood clot after 2 weeks the granulation tissue is
- 12:26replaced by connective tissue and after 1 month epithe alization would have occurred within the
- 12:31proliferative phase there is a rapid deposition of provisional Matrix which is later replaced by
- 12:37woven bone almost entirely at 6 to 8 weeks the woven bone is basically mineralized tissue in a
- 12:42connective tissue Matrix lined by osteoblasts and contains a large amount of osteocytes and
- 12:48this woven bone develops around blood vessels to form the harves in system and is encouraged by
- 12:53bone morphogenic proteins or bmps finally the Bony remodeling Phase 6 3 to 6 months and is a transfer
- 12:59of this woven bone to Lamela bone and bone marrow encouraged by growth factors like wrankle there
- 13:04are so many ways of extracting teeth in this video I have covered the basics that I think you need to
- 13:09know as well as some of my favorite instruments if you're interested in the power Dental instruments
