LEARN TO DO INTRAORAL INCISION & DRAINAGE PT. 1 | OnlineExodontia.com 

Thank you for your kind words!

Did you not listen to the start of the video?

@@alexwong3940 I drain but that rx combo is solid. Lot of docs give amox or augmenten which is bs. I didnt mean to say rx is better

@@iddicted Apologies. In the UK our guidance says to give Pen-V as a first line antibiotic (because its narrower action is thought to be less likely to lead to antimicrobial resistance), but only if there are signs of spreading infection. Problem is it's more likely to give side effects than amox or metro

@@alexwong3940 I've personally never given that so I can't say but the hospitals prescribe that to dental patients. I use amox metro only in swellings or abscess. Cheers doc

Great to hear that you're enjoying the videos! Whenever possible in these situations, do a block, then just prior to extracting the tooth once the block has set in, go ahead and do PDL injections at the line angles of the tooth in question. Upper teeth typically respond well to palatal PDL injections to supplement the blocks and get the teeth out without issue. There are very few situations where you would not be able to get a tooth adequately numb for extraction using this approach. Also, if you have the luxury instruct the patient to take some NSAIDS prior to their appointment as this will help the anesthetic by decreasing inflammatory mediators. All the best!

@@bhargavi368 Thanks and same to you!

Dan - it’s important any time that you’re working on the lingual to stay under the periosteum. Don’t go incising straight through the tissue, but rather use an instrument to open a mini envelope flap starting at the gingival crest. Keep your periosteal or whatever you’re using in intimate contact with the bone as you go apically. The lingual nerve is often close to the height of the bony crest in the third molar region then it dives down as it moves forwards. All the best!

No, you do not need sutures intraorally as you are basically just making a puncture wound that will close on its own. You may add a suture if you are placing a drain however. All the best!

@@OnlineExodontia yes you are right! I already read some books while waiting for your reply haha thanks by the way. Merry Christmas!

Thanks for your comment Mohamed! Can you shed more light on the rationale for what you have proposed? All the best!

Ghaith - great question. In these situations you're sort of pre-abscess so to speak and moreso dealing with cellulitis. Once the immune response kicks in that should often become more fluctuant and isolated. When you have a firm swelling that appears to be of odontogenic origin and you feel that I & D is indicated based on the health of your patient and clinical presentation, I would by all means consider doing so. This will provide a pathway for drainage in the future so that you don't get a space filling up with pus. In these situations you'll see lots of bleeding, often minimal pus, but you're still doing the patient a favour. All the best!

I found it on eBay Mehrdad, however it was a while back and I can't seem to find the exact link. This would be something similar I believe: www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=human+skull+replica&_sacat=185285 Sorry I can't remember the exact one and it's too far back to see in my purchase history. Hopefully that is of some help. All the best and thanks for watching!
