Pt on small doses (Predisone 5mg/day) will have suppression when they have been on it for 1 month
Pt on Prednisone (20-30mg/day = 100mg Cortisol/day) have suppression after 1 week
Short term tx of high dose steroids will NOT alter adrenal cortical function
May take 1 year to regain adrenal cortical function if one suppressive doses of steroids
If currently taking steroids, double dose on day of surgery, and possibly the next day if in a lot of pain
If < 2 weeks after steroid therapy discontinued, double daily maintenance dose on day of surgery
If > 2 weeks after steroid therapy discontinued, none needed

standard surgical stimulus
Optimum Site for IV sedation for outpatient = Median Cephalic Vein (lateral to antecubital fossa)
Malignant Hypothermia
- sudden rapid rise in body temperature
- CO2, sympathetic NS activity

NBDE II Oral Surgery Cram Notes 10/14
Tx of MH
1. Dantrolene
2. 100% O2
3. Cooling procedures
Psychogenic Reaction (i.e. fainting) – caused by psychological factors rather then physical factors (i.e. drugs)
Somatogenic Reaction – a reaction from an organic pathophysiologic cause
Local Anaesthetics
Max Lidocaine = 7mg/kg (480mg MAX)
Neuroleptic Anaesthesia
= Neuroleptic + Narcotic + NO2
= neurolept ANALGESIA + unconsciousness
Syncope
- pt symptoms = warmth, nausea, palpitations, dizzy, weak
- Signs = sweating, tachycardia, PVR
- Blood pools in periphery, cerebral blood flow
- Compensatory mechanisms kick in, but fail and lead to Vagally mediated bradycardia
- Place pt supine, monitor vitals, O2 by nasal cannula
- Watch for tongue obstruction, head tilt & chin lift
Laryngospasm
- when blood/saliva collects near vocal cords, pt goes into spasm, vocal cords close,
- tx: O2, and succinylcholine – skeletal muscle relaxant
SHOCK
- inadequate cellular perfusion and inadequate O2 delivery for the metabolic demands of the tissues, resulting primarily
from CO
1. Compensatory Stage - HR, PVR
2. Progressive Stage – metabolic acidosis, compensatory mechanisms don’t work
3. Irreversible (refractory stage) – organ damage, death is immanent
Types of Shock
1. Hypovolimeic shock - blood volume,
2. Cardiogenic shock – circulatory collapse, pulp failure of the left ventricle, due to big MI
3. Septic shock – from severe infection, endotoxins of G- bacteria
4. Neurogenic shock – severe trauma/injury to CNS
5. Analphylactic shock – severe allergic reaction
NBDE II Oral Surgery Cram Notes 10/14
LA MOA
- inhibit excitation of nerve by blocking conduction. Reversibly binding and inactivating sodium channels
- site of action is lipoprotein sheath of nerve
- small myelinated nerves which propagate pain are affected first, then touch, proprioception, skeletal muscle
tone.
Lidocaine toxicity
- sedative effect on brain (CNS) drowsiness & slurred speech unconsciousness coma
- other LA initial toxicity is usually excitatory before inhibitory
- if pt goes into convulsions, O2 + Diazepam IV
Biopsies
Technique
1. Anaesthesia – blocks where possible, if using infiltration – 1cm away from lesion
2. Tissue stabilization – fingers/clamps
3. Hemostasis – gauze (avoid high vol. suction)
4. Incision – with sharp scalpel
5. Extent of tissue – include some normal tissue
6. Handling of tissue – use a traction suture, avoid forceps
7. specimen care – put in 10% formalin solution right away
Methods of Biopsy
1. Need/Aspiration –
2. Open biopsy – organ exposed and tissue sample taken
3. Closed biopsy – use of a visualization device to locate lesion, requires smaller incision for access
Indications to Biopsy
1. Non-healing oral ulcer > 2 weeks
2. pigmented lesions
3. tissue associated with paresthesia
4. lesion that suddenly enlarges
Always aspirate a lesion if it is compressible, pulsable, blue, a beat (bruit) is heard, central bone lesions
Diseases/Conditions
Characteristics of Hemophilia
1. PTT
2. normal PT
3. normal bleeding time
Rheumatic Fever
- result of Group A beta hemolytic Step infection
- results in valve damage to heart (esp mitral valve)
Acidosis – blood has too much acid, pH of blood (7.3), pt CNS is depressed, disoriented, coma
- severe acidosis occurs during CPR
Alkalosis – blood has too much base, blood pH, overexitable nervous system, results in tetany
Respiratory Acidosis - blood pH, CO2 in blood due to lung function (i.e. resp rate)
Respiratory Alkalosis - blood pH, CO2 in blood due to rapid & deep breathing,
Causes: anxiety, pain, fever, blood O2, hypoxia, pregnancy, hyperthyroidism, ASA OD
Extractions
Post op Instructions
- avoid blowing nose for 7 days
- sneeze through mouth
- avoid vigorous rinsing
- soft diet for 3 days
If small non-infected root tip (2-3mm) is displaced into sinus then just leave it
If it is large piece or whole tooth, then you must do a Caldwell-Luc approach to remove it.
Flaps
- broad base
- finish coronally at the line angle of a tooth, not on the buccal surface
Dry-Socket
- increased fibrinolytic activity causes lysis of blood clot
- caused by smoking, premature mouth rinsing, possibly birth control
- signs/symptoms: pain, bad taste, bad odour, poorly healing socket, throbbing pain
- tx: irrigate with warm saline gently, place eugenol dressing (replace q48h), analgesics prn, no need for
antibiotics
- don’t curette socket, it will delay healing and possibly spread inflammatory condition.
Contraindications to Extractions
Local Factors Systemic factors
Acute infection w uncontrolled cellulites Uncontrolled DM
Acute Pericoronitis Uncontrolled CVD
Acute infectious stomatitis Severe bleeding disorder

When exo Mx teeth – occlusal plane to surgeons shoulder, stand infront or to the side
When exo Md teeth – occlusal plane parallel to floor when open and at level of elbow, stand behind or to the side
Fracture Healing
Primary Bone Healing – direct attempt by the cortex to re-establish itself after break
Bone on either sides of cortex must unite to reestablish mechanical continuity
Bone resorbing cells on one side of fracture tunnel and re-establish new haversian systems providing pathways for
penetration of blood vessels.
Tx
Open – direct exposure and reduction via surgical incision,
Closed – external fixation devices, IMF, 3-6 weeks,
Le Fort 1 – horizontal fracture in the maxillae above the maxillary teeth OPEN BITE
Le Fort 2 – maxilla separated from facial skeleton, separated bone is pyramidal in shape including palate and maxillary
teeth. periorbital edema, eccymosis, subconjuctival hemorrhage, nose bleeds
Le Fort 3 – horizontal fracture where entire maxilla and one or more facial bones are separated from upper face
restricts md movement
Inappropriate Healing
1. Delayed-union satisfactory healing needs > 6 weeks
2. Non-union failure of fracture segments to unite properly, due to infection, improper immobilization,
interposition of soft tissue
3. Mal-union can be delayed or complete union in an improper position, due to improper immobilization and or
reduction
Types of Fractures
1. Greenstick – fracture that only extends only through the cortical portion of the bone without complete fracture
of the bone.
2. Simple – divides a single bone into two distinct parts with no external communication
3. Compound – fracture communicates without outside environment, infection is common
4. Comminuted – multiple fractures in a bone,
Md Fracture
Most frequent – Body > Angle > Condyle > symphysis > ramus > coronoid process – least frequent
Phases of Hemostasis
1. Vascular Phase – vasoconstriction of damaged vessels, occurs immediately
2. Platelet Phase – platelets in vessels become stick, mechanically plug the cut vessels, occurs in seconds
3. Coagulation Phase – blood lost outside coagulates via extrinsic and common pathways,
- blood in vessels coagulates through intrinsic and common pathways
- slower phase
First Aid
1. Call 911
2. Blow – tilt head, chin lift, check breathing, give 2 breaths
3. Pump – 30 pumps on chest 2 inches down,
4. continue 2-3 until EMS arrives
ABC of CPR
A = Airway, head tilt/chin lift,
B = Breathing - check breathing 5-10s, if not breathing, give 2 breaths, if breath doesn’t go in, give Heimlich
maneuver)
C = Circulation – check pulse 5-10s,
If pulse, give 2 breaths q5-6s,
If no pulse, 15 compressions + 2 breaths, check pulse every minute
Treatment of Cysts
Marsupialization – cyst is deroofed and cystic lining is made continuous with the oral cavity, cyst sac is opened and
emptied
- do this when close to vital structures or cyst is very large
Bleeding Tests
Taking BP
If using a small cuff, produces falsely elevated readings
If using a big cuff, produces falsely low readings
GRAFTS
Allogenic Bone
- comes in 3 forms
1. Fresh Frozen – not used due to concern of disease transmission
2. Freeze-Dried (FDBA) – osteoconductive, not osteogenic or osteoinductive, usually placed with autogenous
grafts
3. Demineralized Freeze-Dried (DFDBA) – lacks mechanical strength, osteoconductive and osteoinductive. Exposes
BMP, thus induces bone formation
Autogenous/Autograft – bone from the same person from one part of the body to another part in the same body.
3 types of graft autogenous grafts
1. Cortical – able to withstand early mechanical forces, need more time to revascularize, from cranial vault, iliac crest,
ribs, md symphysis
2. Cancellous graft - healing rate, from ant/post. Iliac crest, inability to provide mechanical stability
3. corticocancellous graft – don’t increase osteogenesis as much as cancellou grafts due to the layer of relative non-
porous cortical bone. Rib, skull, ilium
Isograft – tissue surgically transplanted from an individual of the same species AND genetically related to recipient.
Greatest osteogenic potential is from autogenous cancellous graft with hemopoietic marrow
Osseointegration – the direction connection between living bone and a load-bearing endosseous implant at the light
microscopic level.
Area of erythroplasia (non ulcerate red lesion on mucous membrane), if in pt, in a high cancerous area over 40years,
then biopsy immediately. Especially if lesion has been there for > 2 weeks
Osteomyelitis
- inflammatory process within trabecular bone (medullary), involves marrow spaces
- often caused by S. aureus
- in adults OM in vertebrae/pelvis
- in kids end of long bones
NBDE II Oral Surgery Cram Notes 10/14
- 2 major types
1. Suppurative OM
a. Acute: md>mx, due to blood supply in md, thus chance of OM
b. Chronic
c. Infantile
2. Non-Suppurative OM
a. Chronic sclerosing (focal and diffuse)
b. Garre’s OM: periosteal thickeiing and peripheral reactive bone formation, boney hard non-tender
swelling, associated with a painful carious tooth
c. Actinomycotic OM
Vital Signs
1. BP – 120/80
2. Pulse – 72 bpm
3. Respiration Rate – 12-15
4. Temp – most accurate rectally (37.7C), orally (37C)
