This document discusses different techniques for tooth extraction: forceps technique, elevator technique, and open/surgical extraction. It provides details on indications, contraindications, principles, and procedures for each technique. The forceps technique is preferred for mobile teeth and involves rotating and extracting the tooth. Elevators are used for impacted, malformed, or destroyed teeth by leveraging them out. Open extraction requires incisions and bone removal for grossly destroyed teeth or those near vital structures. Precise incisions and gentle tissue handling are emphasized for all extraction methods.

. Knowledge of apical anatomy, prudent use of radiographs and the correct use of an electronic apex locator will assist practitioners to achieve predictable results.
Periotome
This study evaluated the efficacy of using periotomes for single-rooted nonsurgical tooth extractions compared to traditional extraction techniques. 100 patients were randomly assigned to have a tooth extracted using either a periotome (test group) or traditional methods using forceps (control group). The results found that extractions using periotomes took less time, resulted in less post-extraction pain reported by patients on a visual analogue scale over 7 days, required less analgesic consumption, and caused fewer gingival lacerations compared to traditional methods. The study concluded that the use of periotomes can help reduce post-extraction discomfort compared to conventional extraction techniques.
Modified widman flap
The modified Widman flap is a periodontal surgical technique used to obtain access to the root surface and allow for intimate postoperative adaptation of healthy connective tissue and epithelium to the root surface. Key aspects include:
1. Incisions are made internally and intracrevicularly to minimize tissue loss and gingival shrinkage. Vertical releasing incisions are usually not used.
2. The goal is access for root debridement rather than pocket elimination. Minimal flap elevation of 1-2mm is done to access root surfaces.
3. It is indicated for mild to moderate periodontitis with pocket depths up to 6mm and minimal inflammation. Primary intention healing occurs.
039.splints in periodontal therapy
1. A periodontal splint is an appliance used to stabilize mobile teeth and promote healing. It prevents mobility during chewing and allows non-mobile teeth to heal faster.
2. Splints are classified based on the period of use, material type, and location on teeth. Common splints include direct bonding resins, intracoronal wires, and bite guards.
3. Principles of splinting include including healthy teeth, splinting around the arch, and ensuring proper plaque control and occlusion. Splints distribute forces and are indicated to stabilize mobility and trauma, but can hamper hygiene and unevenly distribute forces if not fabricated properly.

It discusses the history and discovery of power-driven scalers, how ultrasonic and sonic scalers work, and the factors involved in their mode of action. The document outlines the efficacy of these instruments and their clinical applications. It describes the major types of power scalers and ultrasonic instrumentation, including tips, maintenance, and associated hazards. Overall, the document serves as a guide to ultrasonic and sonic instrumentation used in dental procedures.
Periodontal probe
The document discusses the history and development of periodontal probes over several generations. It describes the key characteristics of 1st generation manual probes and 2nd generation pressure-sensitive probes. It then focuses on 3rd generation computer-assisted probes which standardize pressure and digitally record readings to reduce errors. Some examples provided are the Foster Miller Probe, Florida Probe, and True Pressure Sensitive probe. Overall the document traces the evolution of probes to become more precise, standardized, and integrated with digital systems.
Sonic and ultrasonic scaling
Ultrasonic and sonic scalers were introduced in the 1950s as powered alternatives to manual instrumentation for removing supra and subgingival calculus. They use high frequency electrical or air pressure vibrations transmitted through interchangeable tips to remove deposits via mechanisms like cavitation. Studies found hand and powered instrumentation are similarly effective in reducing plaque, calculus, and pathogens and improving periodontal outcomes. While powered instruments provide improved access in furcations and heavy calculus, both techniques are important for periodontal therapy. Precautions are needed with powered instruments to prevent tissue damage or interference with devices like pacemakers.
Sickle Scalers Clinical Application Guide
Sickle scalers are dental instruments used to remove supragingival and subgingival calculus. They have either a straight or curved blade and are used with a pulling motion at a 85 degree angle to dislodge deposits from teeth. Anterior sickle scalers have a straight shank while posterior scalers have an angled shank. Hu-Friedy offers various sickle scaler designs with different handle options.
Transalveolar Extraction
Trans alveolar extraction is a surgical technique used to remove teeth or roots that cannot be extracted using routine closed methods. Key steps include raising a mucoperiosteal flap to provide access, removing surrounding bone, sectioning multi-rooted teeth, and closing the wound. Factors complicating routine extraction requiring this approach include root fractures, abnormal root morphology, ankylosis, or proximity to vital structures. The procedure aims to improve access, leverage, reduce resistance, and allow for a safe extraction path.
Rationale of endodontic treatment
The document discusses focal infection and inflammation in the dental pulp. It describes how microorganisms from infected dental sites can spread through the bloodstream and lymphatic system, potentially causing infection elsewhere. When the pulp becomes inflamed in response to injury or infection, it undergoes degenerative or proliferative changes. The "FISH" study identified four zones of tissue reaction around an infected area: the zone of infection, contamination, irritation, and stimulation. Kronfeld's mountain pass theory applied this concept to explain the inflammatory response in the periapex as a defensive reaction analogous to a military mobilization.
apicoectomy
This document provides information on the surgical procedure of apicoectomy. It begins by defining apicoectomy as the surgical resection and removal of the root tip along with pathological tissues. It then lists indications for the procedure such as teeth with active periapical inflammation despite satisfactory endodontic therapy. The document describes the surgical technique which includes flap design, exposing the apex, resection of the apex, and potentially retrograde filling. It provides details on instruments used and cautions to take such as ensuring the resection is at a right angle to reduce apical leakage.
Class I , II Composites Cavity preparations
The document discusses tooth preparation for dental restorations. It describes the objectives of tooth preparation as removing defects, protecting the pulp, extending restorations conservatively, and allowing functional and esthetic placement of restorative materials. Factors that affect tooth preparation include pulpal and periodontal status, dental anatomy, occlusion, patient factors, affected dentin, and restorative materials. Different types of cavity preparations are also described, including simple, compound, and complex cavities as well as Class I, Class II, and modified cavity preparations for both amalgam and composite restorations. Techniques for cavity preparation are provided for both conventional and modified designs depending on the restoration needs.
Rules of using dental forceps & elevator
This document provides information on principles of dental exodontia (tooth extraction) including:
- Types and parts of dental forceps and elevators used for tooth extraction

- Factors that can complicate tooth extraction and considerations for radiographic examination
- Chair positioning and patient preparation for dental extractions
- Principles, mechanics, and rules for proper use of forceps and elevators during extraction
Biologic width
This document discusses biological width, which refers to the dimensions of soft tissue attached to the tooth coronal to the alveolar bone crest. It defines biological width as the connective tissue attachment (1.07mm on average) plus the epithelial attachment (0.97mm on average), totaling 2.04mm. It discusses factors that can lead to biological width violation like subgingival restoration margins and its signs. Methods to evaluate and correct biological width violations like bone sounding, surgical crown lengthening, and forced tooth eruption are also described. The importance of respecting biological width is emphasized in restorative and implant dentistry.
Current Techniques in Pediatric Wound Debridement
This document discusses current techniques in pediatric wound debridement. It defines debridement and lists various debridement methods including autolytic, enzymatic, osmotic, mechanical, and biological. It discusses choosing a debridement method based on factors like the patient's age, skin condition, wound etiology and location. Different debridement techniques are recommended for common wound types in pediatric patients like burns, soft tissue injuries, and pressure ulcers. The document provides guidance on debridement goals and principles to respect healthy tissue and remove devitalized tissue without causing pain.
Defragmentation
Fragmentation occurs over time as files are saved, changed, and deleted, storing file data in different locations on a volume. This causes hard disks and removable drives like USBs to work less efficiently. Disk Defragmenter rearranges fragmented data to improve efficiency. It can run automatically on a schedule or be used manually to analyze and defragment drives. Defragmentation consolidates fragmented files so the drive works faster by reducing read/write head movement.

1. Wounds can be classified based on their mechanism of injury such as incised, lacerated, punctured, etc. and the depth of the wound is more important than the area.
2. Necrotic tissue and foreign bodies must be removed from wounds through debridement to prevent infection and allow healing.
3. The appropriate treatment depends on factors like wound age, contamination level, and ability to approximate wound edges. Primary closure is only suitable for clean, recently injured wounds.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
