INSTRUMENTS

ELEVATORS

• Commonly used intra oral periosteal elevator — 9 molt
• Commonly used extraction elevator — straight elevator
• Commonly used to remove #ed root tip — apexo elevator
• Commonly used to remove mandibular # M root tip – crier

PRINCIPLE OF ELEVATORS

• Mechanical advantage — wheel and axle principle
• Wedge principle – adjacent tooth should be present

          o done for bone dialation

• Lever principle — interdental bone breakage

          o Wedging of socket wall not uses elevator

EXTRACTION FORCEPS

• For Mandibular 1st M — NO. 11 (a type of cowhorn)
• For Maxillary anterior – No. 150
• For Maxillary PMS- NO.1 UNIVERSAL *****
• For Mandibular anterior and PM — No. 151

TISSUE FORCEPS

• Most commonly used — Addison’s forceps
• Most for 3rd M region tissue holding flap — Stills forceps
• Epulis fissuratum — Allis forceps
• To hold a tooth that is luxated from socket — Russian forceps
• To raise flap from inner side of upper lip — Metzehaum forceps
• Suture forceps after mandibular 3rd M extraction — curved hemostat
• To retract cheek and buccal periosteum – Minnesota Retractor
• For dentoalveolar # in maxilla (Lefort I) — Roud disimpaction forceps

          o (ENGAGE AT HARD PALATE ALONG NASAL FLOOR)

• Nasomaxillary # in maxilla — Arch forceps or walsham forceps

BONE FILE

• Used to remove sharp edges after extraction
• Used in ALVEOLOPLASY process for smoothening of bony edges!***

SURGICAL BLADES
1) BP No.15 blade – most common intra oral surgery**
2) No.12 blade – most common periodontal surgery
3) No.11 blade – stab incision (I& D)**

Most important sign of fracture of mandible is Malocclusion

1. QN- Walsham's Forceps: for nasal fracture treatment


2. QN Ach’s Forceps For nasal bone straightening
3. QN Allis Forceps: to hold tissues prior to excision
4. QN Addison Forceps: to hold tissue flap during suturing
5. QN Stillis Forceps: It used in the posterior region in mouth where
6. QN Addison Forcep cannot reach due to its long length (7 to 9 Inches)
7. QN Artery Forceps: to ligate ruptured arteries or arteries planned to be removed
8. QN Minnesota retractor: retract flap and cheek together.
9. QN Farabeuf Retractor the retractor which retract the flap and the cheek together when doing surgery.
