-Tissue over tori, thin tear; remove cuz oral hygiene and ability to eat and not
traumatize all the time
-Incisions: Linear or Linear with release at each end
-Removal: 1. mallet & chisel 2. Surgical Bur (thus combo, use bur, but also mallet
& chisel
-Post op:
-Splint to prevent: infection, necrosis of flap, hematoma formation
-Y incision on each end; dissect with periosteal elevator so dont tear tissue cuz
paper thin!
-Acrylic bur: grind away, BIGGEST THING IS IRRIGATE THE HELL OUT OF
THIS OR ELSE LITTLE PIECES OF BONE UNDERNEATH! (even put pt on AB for 1
week cuz dont want infection in palate)
-ex: w/o Y: have problem at ends that can tear and dont want to have to reapair
on palate cuz so thin and hard to grabv
-If dont have denture and made stent or splint; clasp around 2 cuspids; drill
through plastic one each side
-Make incision, make Y at end being careful NOT TO TEAR TISSUE & carefully
(dont grind and grind patient will have migraine headache; dont go too deep cuz will
be in nasal cavity; take 702, 703 bur and use guideplanes then take mallet and chisel and
knock off each of pieces
-Minute it closes immediately starts to pull down and dont want palatal necrosis
of flap and very painful and take long time to re-epi
-Mandibular tori removal: envelope flap around necks of teeth or on ridge; PROB
IN LOWER: FLOOR OF MOUTH SWELLING (if tori large on both sides do one at a
time)
-When tori take out cuz of hygiene:
-Trough with bur,d epth of bur when want to cleave, tap with mallet & chisel
always making sure have something underneath torus
-2 ways damage nerve: pressure from MINNESOTA
-on very large tori when bring everything back together will have excess tissue, trim
tissue before close
-Suture in each papialla violate, tongue is splint (preventn hematoma formation, potential
for hematoma formation in lower so EVERYBODY GETS HEMATOMA IN LOWER
FOR 1 WEEK, IF LARGE PATIENT MORE THAN 1 WEEK?, if tori humungous than
done in OR cuz potential for airway obstruction from swelling
-MAXILLARY EXOSTOSES
-Neoplasm? Unilateral, huge growth be concerned (send specimen for biopsy)
-Envelope flap open up grind away (for denture)
-Lower: envelope flap open up (but again soft tissue is very very thin, be careful with
dissection ,get BELOW BASE OF TORUS so dont have triangle of bone
