sinus exposure question
Quote:
One thing to note, if you think it "might" be exposed, but you have no other indications that it is a large exposure( no large bony defect/no large piece of sinus floor attached to the the end of the root) then you may want to avoid this test and just treat as if it might. The reason is, sometimes the bony floor of the sinus can be breached but the membrane lining the sinus will still be intact. IF you perform a nose-blow test, it can rupture the membrane and cause an true opening. Just something to consider.... Back to your question: In the field, you would pack extraction socket with surgicel, gel foam, or nothing(if you don't have either available). Then you would place a figure eight suture over the extraction socket to help hold in clot/packing or clot by itself. Give the standard post-extraction instructions with the addition of following post-op care....
HOpe that helps...did that cover what you wanted? |
Actually, the "bubbles through the extraction socket" was a little too much info for me but, yes, that answered the question.
Is this situation a common occurance? And what type of complications, if any, are common? Just curious. |
NO, not common, especially on a canine. Usually maxillary (upper) premolars and molars- if it is going to happen at all.
Other complications:
Let me guess.. to much info again. LOL Well, you are on a professional website asking professional questions! haha:lifter |
My Oregon Logger First Aid manual states that sinus is not punctured until daylight is showing. Now guess why I have this job instead of the refined trappings of a highly skilled Tactical Tooth Doc.

I can handle the info now.:D
Now I need to find a dictionary to look up those 'doctor words' you keep using. Sinus exposure with a chain saw. I saw that in a movie once. |
Sorry to get this thread skidding sideways, I've seen and assisted with the aftermath of some bad saw injuries. Won't describe here. back to serious business.
