Question | Answer |
---|---|
The __________ X-ray requires the patient to hyperextend the neck with the nose and chin placed against the cassette so there is good visualization of the facial bones. | Water's view |
The __________ X-ray is similar but requires the nose and the forehead to be placed against the cassette, which allows better visualization of the orbital floor. | Caldwell's view |
A plate made of _________ is strong and lightweight and is used most often for craniofacial fractures. | titanium |
____________ are used to immobilize the mandibular or maxillary fracture by immobilizing the jaw, increasing the chances of aspiration and requiring liquid nutrition postop. | arch bars |
Submandibular or preauricular incisions must be made with care to preserve the __________. | facial nerve (VII) |

Located on the mandibular notch of the ramus | mandibular foramen |
Freely moveable maxilla | Le Fort I |
Located on the mandible below the first molar | mental foramen |

Fracture of the malar arches, orbits to base of the nose (nasal, ethmoid, zygomatic) | Le Fort III |
Basal view | shows zygomatic fractures |
Panoramic x-ray | shows on one film the alveolar processes, mandible, posterior maxillary sinuses, and zygomas |
Are oral procedures considered sterile? | no |
Pt positioning for oral and maxillofacial surgeries | supine with heal tilted back, roll towel may be placed to aid slightly extending the neck - tuck pt's arms and remember to protect ulnar nerves |
Alias for plastic cheek retractor | "smile maker" :) |
Double angled retractor that's used for oral surgery | Minnesota retractor |

Crown | portions above gumline |
Root | portion below gumline |
Neck | junction of crown and root |
Crown is covered by ______, which is the hardest part of the tooth | enamel |
Pulp | contains blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue |
Odenectomy | involves resection of the soft tissue and excision of the bone surrounding a tooth prior to removal |
What should the surgical technologist do before handing a retractor to the surgeon for use in orbital floor fracture? | moisten it with saline for teflon-coated and sterile water for nonteflon-coated |
Which type of sterile drape is commonly used for oral and maxillofacial procedures? | U-drape |
What other equipment is used alongside a bone drill? | suction and irrigation |
Type of suture used to close tooth extraction/odenectomy? | 4-0 chromic or silk |
Fire safety procedural consideration | endotracheal tube delivers oxygen and is close to operating site - a closed ventilation system, use of a fire-retardant endo tube, and careful use of ESU |
