This document provides an overview of tooth extraction procedures. It discusses the indications for tooth extraction including non-restorable cavities, periodontal disease, fractures, and impacted or crowded teeth. Contraindications like certain medical conditions are also outlined. The key equipment, positions, extraction techniques, complications, and post-operative instructions are described in detail. Local anesthesia methods like inferior alveolar nerve blocks and supraperiosteal infiltration are explained.
2. OVERVIEW
A Dental extraction (also referred to as
tooth extraction, exodontia, exodontics
or informally, tooth pulling) is the
removal of teeth from the dental
alveolus in the alveolar bone

14
15. Antibiotic prophylaxis:
Under L.A
Amoxycillin 3gm 1 hour before surgery,If
allergic to Amoxycillin then give
Clindamycin 600mg
Under G.A
Amoxycillin IV + oral 1gm at induction
and 0.5 gm 6 hours later,If allergic then
Vancomycin IV infusion1gm over 1
hour+Gentamycin120mg IV
15
17. The surgeon and patient should be
positioned in such a way that patient is
comfortable and the surgeon can stand
or sit in front of the patient without
undue strain.
Instruments should be placed out of the
patients sight but close to the surgeon
17
18. Mandibular Extraction
CHAIR AXIS- The chair is positioned so that the
mandibular occlusal plane is parallel to the floor
CHAIR HEIGHT- The chair is lowered to afford the
surgeon the leverage and control needed for
extraction
PATIENT HEAD- the patient is asked to turn the
head towards the operator
OPERATOR- The operator is 9 oclock position
relative to the patient
SECOND HAND OPERATOR- The second
operator is at 3 oclock position to help the
operator in retracting the cheek, lip and tongue
and stabilizing the jaw 18
19. ASSISTANT- The assistant places the
suction tip in one hand and the soft tissue
retractor in the other hand
19
20. Maxillary Extraction
CHAIR AXIS- the chair is tipped backward so that
the maxillary occlusal plane is at an angle of about
60 to the floor
CHAIR HEIGHT- the chair is lowered to the height
of the operators elbow
PATIENT HEAD- the patient is asked to lift the
head and turn toward the operator for access and
visualization
OPERATOR- is at the 9 oclock position relative to
the patient
SECOND OPERATOR- is at the 3 oclock position
and helps with retraction suctioning irrigation and
jaw stabilisation 20
21. Extraction movement
Primary movement: Along longitudinal axis of root
Secondary movement: Main extracting movement
Rotatory
Buccolingual or labiolingual
Mesodistal
Lifting the tooth
21
22. Upper central and lateral incissor
Rotation only
Upper canine
Rotation initially, some labiolingual movement may be needed
Upper premolar and molar
Buccopalatal movement
22
23. Lower central and lateral incissor
Labiolingual movement
Lower canine
Rotatory and labiolingual
Lower premolar
Rotatory
Lower molar
Buccolingual movement
23
25. Nerve supply:
Maxilla
Posterior superior alveolar nerve: Molars
Middle superior alveolar nerve: Premolars
Anterior superior alveolar nerve: Canines and Incissor
Sensory supply of palate from greater and lesser palatine nerves as
well
25
27. Dental block
Types of blocks
Supraperiosteal injection
Mental nerve block
Anterior superior alveolar (Infraorbital) nerve block
Posterior superior alveolar nerve block
Inferior alveolar nerve block
27
28. Choice of anesthesia in dental procedure
2% lidocaine/Xylocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine
is a good choice. This provides about
1 hour of dental pulp analgesia
3 to 5 hours of soft-tissue analgesia
For temporary relief of pain, the preferred agent is
0.5% Bupivacaine with 1:200,000 epinephrine
1 to 3 hours of dental pulp analgesia
4 to 9 hours of soft-tissue analgesia
Duration of analgesia is less with supraperiosteal
injections than with regional nerve blocks
28
29. Inferior alveolar nerve block
Most widely used anesthetic procedure in dentistry
All mandibular teeth to midline
Anterior 2/3 of tongue
Floor of oral cavity
Complication:
Infection
Patient having tendency
to bite tongue or lips
29
30. Aim is to deposit solution around the inferior alveolar nerve as it
enters the mandibular foramen underneath the lingula
The patient's mouth must be widely open, inferior border being
parallel to ground
Palpate the landmarks of external and internal oblique ridges and
note the line of the ptyerygomandibular raphe
30
31. Index finger is used to stretch the tissues over the injection
site, maximizing visibility and minimizing the pain of the
injection.
Orient the syringe so that the barrel is in the opposite
corner of the mouth, resting on the premolars
Aim toward your index finger and slowly penetrate the
mucosa until bone is contacted, usually a distance of about
2.5 cm
Needle should be parallel to occlusal surface
31
32. Withdraw slightly and aspirate
If no blood is returned, inject 1.5 to 2 mL of anesthetic
If aspiration is positive, pull back and redirect slightly,
then repeat
If a lingual nerve block is required 0.5 ml of LA is injected
after withdrawal of 0.5cm of the needle
32
33. Supraperiosteal infiltration
Also called local infiltration
Teeth affected
Any maxillary tooth
Only can anesthetize
2 or 3 adjacent teeth
Poor option for mandibular tooth because of relatively
high density
33
34. The aim is to deposit LA supraperiosteally in as close proximity as
possible to the apex of the tooth to be anaesthetized.
The LA will diffuse through periosteum and bone to bathe the
nerves entering the apex.
Reflect the lip or cheek to place mucosa on tension and
insert the needle along the long axis of the tooth aiming towards
bone.
At approximate apex of tooth, withdraw slightly and deposit LA
slowly
34
35. Mental nerve block
Apex of the second premolar
Tissue and teeth affected
Buccal soft tissues from 2nd mandibular premolar to
midline
skin of lower lip and chin
