Extractions

  • Overview: A tooth has to be removed, sometimes because it's abscessed, or maybe just because there's crowding in the mouth. Your dentist will anesthetize the patient, and then go at it. Dentists all have their own way to go about this, especially with different types of teeth, but for the most part, they'll use a periosteal to detach ligaments around the tooth, an elevator to wiggle the tooth around, and 150/151 forceps to remove it. A lot of other instruments can be used to loosen the tooth, I'll just list them under instruments.
  • Instruments: periosteal, elevator, root tip pick, 150/151L forceps, surgical suction, syringe, anesthetic, topical, needle, cotton rolls/gauze, mirror & explorer
    • Others: east/west, golden misch + attachment, rongeur, montana, bone file, scalpel + blade
  • You: Use the surgical suction to remove blood from the tooth that is being extracted! Dass it.
