PERDENT LONG QUIZ FINALS

• Simple Continuous Suture


  If there is a long incision, this technique is preferred.
• Simple Continuous Suture


  The needle is reinserted continuously so that the suture runs perpendicular to the incision line below and obliquely above. The knot was tied over the untightened end of the suture.
• Simple Continuous Suture


  Instead of creating a knot every time, a long incision line may be sutured in a short amount of time with this procedure.
• Simple Continuous Suture


  The advantage of it is that it applies evenly distributed pressure across the entirety of the wound.
• Simple Continuous Suture


  It's quicker than interrupted sutures but if one part breaks, the entire suture line might loosen.
• Interrupted Suture


  It is the most commonly used technique, preferred in urgent situations and it is easy to remove.
• Interrupted Suture


  It is used to close large wounds.
• Interrupted Suture


  Its name is derived from the fact that the individual stitches are not connected.
• Figure of 8 suture


  Pattern:1-2-3-4-1
• Figure of 8 suture

  The suture technique is often used in socket closure after extraction.
• Figure of 8 suture

  The other use of this suture is the following: bone graft placement in the socket, and adaptation of gingival papilla around the tooth.
• Figure of 8 suture

  One disadvantage of the suture technique is that because of its orientation, it is tough to take off.
• Vertical Mattress Suture


  Is sewn securely by passing the needle from one edge to the other and then from the latter edge to the first. It proceeds by two levels, one superficial to bring the edges together and flatten them, and one deep to support and adduction of the wound surfaces at a depth. The insertion is shallower than it was for the first flap when the needle is pulled back from the second to the first.
• Vertical Mattress Suture


  The maximal tissue approximation and wound site adaptability provided by this suture significantly reduces the quantity of dead tissue and space along the injury line.
• Horizontal Mattress Technique


  It is an interrupted suturing technique recommended for flaps under tension where the flap is released beyond the mucogingival junction.
• Horizontal Mattress Technique


  Since prolonged tension is expected when using this technique, it's prudent to use a longer-lasting resorbable or permanent suture.
• Crisscross Technique


  It is an ideal choice for extraction sites, maintaining both the blood clot and materials packed into the socket, such as gel foam, collagen plugs, and graft material.
• Simple Buried Suture


  Provide support to the wound and reduce tension on the wound edges, allowing better epidermal approximation of the wound. They are also used to eliminate dead space, or they are used as anchor sutures to fix the overlying tissue to the underlying structures.
• Sling Suture


  This suture technique is common when surgical operations are applied on limited regions.
• Sling Suture


  It is applied when buccal and lingual flaps are desired to be placed on different positions.
• Sling Suture


  Needle passed from hemisects of tooth to outer surface of buccal flap, perambulates the teeth and passed from palatial flap in distal. Suture is brought back to hemisects where suture starts, passed from internal surface of buccal flap, and knotted.
• Continuous Locking/Blanket Technique


  It is similar to continuous but locking is provided by withdrawing the suture in its own loop.
• Continuous Locking/Blanket Technique


  It is used to avoid multiple knots.
• Continuous Locking/Blanket Technique


  It distributes tension to the tissue uniformly.
• Continuous Locking/Blanket Technique


  It provides excessive tightening to the tissue.
• Continuous Locking/Blanket Technique


  Its only disadvantage is it prevents adjustment of tension over the suture line as tissue.
• Periosteal Suturing Technique


  Used to hold apically displaced partial thickness flaps on periosteum
• Periosteal Suturing Technique


  There are 2 types: the holding suture and the closing suture.
• Periosteal Suturing Technique


  The holding suture is the horizontal mattress suture placed at the base of the displaced flap to secure it into the new position
• Periosteal Suturing Technique

  The closing suture is used to secure the flap edges to the periosteum.
• NEUTRAL HAND POSITION


  The little finger should be slightly lower than the thumb.
• NEUTRAL HAND POSITION


  The wrist should be aligned with the forearm.
• NEUTRAL UPPER ARM POSITION


  Upper arms should hang in a vertical line parallel to the long axis of the torso.
• NEUTRAL UPPER ARM POSITION


  Elbows at waist level are held slightly away from the body.
• NEUTRAL FOREARM POSITION


  The forearms have to be held parallel to the floor.
• NEUTRAL FOREARM POSITION


  Raised or lowered, if necessary, by pivoting at the elbow joint.
• PALM AND HAND GRASP


  Involves holding the handpiece with the entire palm, providing stability during certain dental procedures.
• PEN GRASP


  Similar to holding a pen, where the handpiece is held between the thumb and index finger, allowing for better control and delicate movements.
• INVERTED PEN GRASP


  Involves holding the handpiece in a pen grasp but reversed, with the thumb and index finger pointing towards the dentist. This position can be useful in specific situations.
• THUMB-TO-NOSE GRASP


  Dentists may use this position when accessing hard-to-reach areas, guiding the handpiece with the thumb close to the nose for improved maneuverability.
