INTRODUCTION
In today's economy, we are finding more and more patients
presenting with severe dental problems ranging from multiple tooth
decay to advanced generalized periodontitis, because they have
put off dental treatment either due to fear of discomfort or fear of
cost. The major reason for finally presenting to the office is because
they just can't withstand the pain anymore or the infection has
gotten so bad that it will affect their overall health.
The initial portion of these complex treatment plans focuses on
eliminating the infections so that the patient is relieved of acute or
chronic pain. Unfortunately, due to the severity of these cases, the
treatment of full-mouth extraction is the only option.
The Procedure
When you come in for the actual surgery your mouth
will be prepared with a local anesthesia. You
probably wont have to be put under for this
procedure, as it is not a long one. Most of the time,
the procedure can be performed in less than an
hour or two.
After Procedure
You will need time to heal after the
procedure. You may not
experience much pain, but the
dental professional will likely
prescribe some pain medication
anyway, just in case. The entire
healing process should take
anywhere from a few weeks to
six months. It just depends on
the conditions of your surgery,
how many implants needed to
be put in and your overall
health.
CASE REPORT
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning:
A young man in his late 30s presented to the practice
dissatisfied with the appearance of his smile. He commented
that he was experiencing constant sensitivity to hot and cold as
well as tenderness to biting. He also mentioned that he could
feel some broken portions of tooth structure causing food to be
trapped, resulting in swelling in his gum tissue.
Extractions
If all the teeth have to be extracted in a single visit, then
anesthesia is given in all regions of mouth, and the teeth are
extracted in a particular order. Since the patient is sedated
utilizing an intravenous infusion pump, it is necessary to keep
the patient's mouth open using a mouth prop. For this reason, I
routinely extract teeth in quadrants starting from the upper left
to the upper right and then down to the lower right and lower
left. This way we can keep the patient's mouth open while
working in a consistent sequence, saving time.
Conclusion
Within your practice, a time may come where you, the dental
provider, will encounter a patient who might need full-mouth
extraction due to severe decay or infection. Having the ability
to perform full-mouth extractions in a fast, predictable, and
atraumatic way for the patient and the dental team will help
eliminate stress for everyone. Using a process that takes
advantage of efficient Class I lever principles, as well as
biochemical properties while conserving bone and soft tissue
will ensure more efficiency and effectiveness. The techniques
discussed in this article should allow the general dental
practitioner the opportunity to offer more services under one
roof.
