Reconstruction or removal of tissue from the "eyelids"

Back 1

Blepharoplasty

Revision of the nose

Back 2

Rhinoplasty

Front 3

Face Lifts

Back 3

Rhytidectomies

Front 4

Caustic removal of lines and wrinkles/scars from
the facial region

Back 4

Chemical Peels/Dermabrasion

Front 5

Are also elemental to restoring soft tissue into areas of ablative
surgery and areas affected by radiation therapy and traumatic injury

Back 5

Myo-cutaneous Flaps

Front 6

Procedures to separate the tooth bearing anterior segment of the
mandible from the posterior position which includes the TMJ. Most common are the
saggital split osteotomy and the intra-oral vertical subcondylar osteotomy

Back 6

Ramus Osteotomies

Front 7

The most commonly used maxillary orthognathic surgery
procedure, is done intraorally, and separates the tooth bearing portion from the rest of the
facial skeleton.

Back 7

LeFort I Osteotomies

Front 8

Procedure to remove tissue, resulting in attachment
of epithelium to periosteum thereby creating fixed mucosal tissue from moveable
mucosa.

Back 8

Submucosal Vestibuloplasty

Front 9

Procedure to remove moveable tissue from the
periosteum, and to graft or replace the removed moveable tissue, which becomes fixed to
the periosteum and creates better denture support.

Back 9

Tissue Grafting Vestibuloplasty

Front 10

Procedure used to extend the labial, buccal, or lingual sulcus to create
more surface area of attached mucosal tissue to better support a dental prosthesis.

Back 10

Vestibuloplasty

Front 11

Procedures to increase the height and/or
improve the contour of the alveolar ridges to better support a prosthesis.

Back 11

Maxillary or mandibular ridge augmentation

Front 12

Surgical removal or re-orientation of connective tissue or muscle
attachments which limit movement of the tongue

Back 12

Lingual Frenectomy

Front 13

Surgical procedure to either completely remove, or
change the orientation of bands of fibrous connective tissue or muscle. These bands
extend from the lip and cheek into the alveolar mucoperiosteum.

Back 13

Labial or Buccal Frenectomy

Front 14

Tori are inherited exostoses (projections of bone beyond the normal
bony contour of the maxilla or the mandible, which usually do not require removal unless
they interfere with the placement of a prosthesis).

Back 14

Removal of Tori

Front 15

The reduction or re-contouring of the maxillary tuberosity

Back 15

Tuberosity Reduction

Front 16

Re-contouring or reduction of the alveolar bone

Back 16

Alveoloplasty

Front 17

Instruments designed for the delivery of force in order to dilate the tooth
socket, sever the periodontal ligament attachment of a tooth, and allow withdrawal of the
tooth from the socket.

Back 17

Instruments

Front 18

Instrument designed to wedge or shoehorn the tooth from the socket

Back 18

Elevators

Front 19

Used to grasp the tooth.

Back 19

Extraction Forceps

Front 20

The most commonly impacted tooth. Also referred to as the wisdom tooth

Back 20

Third Molar

Front 21

A tooth which has not erupted into its normal expected position in the
dental arch, and whose normal eruption is not anticipated.

Back 21

Impacted Tooth

Front 22

Dividing the tooth into segments with chisels or burs to facilitate
removal

Back 22

Tooth Sectioning

Front 23

The removal of a tooth or tooth root which requires the reflection of
a mucoperiosteal flap for access, and may also require the removal of overlying alveolar
bone, and or sectioning of the tooth.

Back 23

Surgical Extraction

Front 24

A flap of soft tissue overlying the tooth. The flap is full thickness
and includes all tissue overlying the bone

Back 24

Mucoperiosteal Flap

Front 25

The removal of a tooth without the need for a bone removal or
reflection of a mucoperiosteal flap.

Back 25

Simple Extraction
