Indeed the answer is all of the above! One of the big hang ups I had initially as I began to do flaps in private practice was using the proper technique. Keep the sharp tip on the bone and ensure that you're under the periosteum on clean bone. Once you're under the periosteum work side to side and apically to release the tissue (again with the sharp tip on the bone). Once a big enough area is released, flip it over and continue with the broad end. Thanks to all for participating! All the best in 2021!

The answer to the question as most have correctly identified is D - 'All of the above'. The posterior mandible has thick cortical bone that will not distort like cancellous bone. Whenever possible, troughing and sectioning should be used to facilitate the creation of a path of withdrawal while simultaneously reducing the amount of force necessary to deliver the tooth. All the best!

I've had numerous people ask me about smoking marijuana following an extraction. Can anyone comment on literature that has looked at this? Also, can anyone direct me to sources regarding the effect of vaping following extraction?
As for smoking, it's a concern that there is heat generation, tar from the cigarette, and nicotine which impairs the blood flow. Some have argued that the suction from drawing on the cigarette is undesirable however, there is literature stating that smoking (and interestingly enough - using a straw which is a common dental myth) does not generate as much negative pressure as swallowing and therefore will not affect the clot.
I have been unable to uncover anything and I think this would make for an interesting video. All the best!

Thanks to everyone for participating! The answer for the last question is "Patients feel more pain when you inject with a 25 gauge needle.". This may have been a bit tricky as it was which of the following is FALSE. It has been demonstrated that patients are unable to accurately discern the size of the needle being used for the injection.
Here is just one source to check out, but this was looked at many years ago as well. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/17511363/
You will get more positive aspirations from 25 gauge needles as the lumen is larger and backflow of blood occurs more easily (this increases the safety of the injection).
25 gauge are more resilient and resistant to breakage.
The 25 gauge is a larger, stronger needle so your accuracy of injections (IAN blocks for example) are improved as the needle doesn't deflect as easily as it passes through the tissue.
All the best!
