Extraction?
Q. What is the best painkiller to take prior to going for extractions and what should you do if in the middle of an extraction it starts to hurt?
Asked by Questionz - Sun Dec 9 15:57:46 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. paracetomol is usually whats recommended but i prefer aspirin altho people don't advise it as it can make the extraction hole bleed more. i would suggest whatever has worked best for you in the past. it doesn't take long for an extraction to be done and you will be given a local anaestetic in the gum, so there will be virtually no pain anyway.

What is the time between tooth extraction and implant placement?
Q. What is the proper procedure for Implants in terms of tooth extraction and implant placement? I have been told the tooth should be extracted and then wait several weeks to get the implant. I have also been told both can be done at the same time. What is the proper procedure?
Asked by strumer - Sat Feb 9 00:03:02 2008 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Both are correct in different situations. If a tooth is infected and needs to be extracted, generally you wait 4 to 6 weeks for your body to completely heal the infection before you would put in an implant. If the tooth being remove is heavily damaged (or whatever), but has no infection in the bone, an implant can often be placed the same day. This will be dependent on the surgeon's experience. If he's had lots of failures with immediate placements, you'll be waiting. (and vice versa)

What makes a solvent a good solvent for extraction of aqueous solutions?
Q. What makes a solvent a good solvent for extraction of aqueous solutions? Choose more than one correct answer 1) High Polarity 2) Low polarity 3) Low boilingpoint 4) Immiscible or poorly miscible with aqueous solutions 5) The target compound dissolves well in the solvent. I m sure 4 and 5 are right...3 is incorrect i guess, but does the polarity matter?
Asked by Wong M - Tue Jan 29 01:44:00 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Low polarity (relative to water) usually means lower boiling point and less miscibility with water, both of which are good. Most solvents I've commonly used for extractions have a polarity lower than water. Ethyl acetate is usually considered a fairly polar organic solvent for extractions and chromatography, but it's less polar than water. I would argue that 2) is correct. Actually 3) is desirable so you can easily remove the solvent and recover the target compound, although something that is too low boiling and thus too volatile would be difficult to work with (diethyl ether is pretty low boiling and that works well sometimes). Often organic solvents of high polarity (methanol, DMF) are miscible in water, so can't be used. I would… [cont.]

What is the healing process for a tooth extraction?
Q. I had an emergency tooth extraction on Monday. I did not receive an antibiotic nor a pain killer. Today is Thursday. I am having pain that comes and goes. Could that be an infection or part of the healing process?
Asked by benji8008 - Thu Feb 12 09:03:08 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Some pain is normal, especially if the area is exposed to heat or cold. You should avoid smoking or drinking through a straw. Both can lead to "dry socket", a post extraction infection that is very painful. If your pain is increasing instead of gradually decreasing, or you start bleeding or developing increased swelling around the extraction site or on your face/jaw, you need to see a dentist or doctor for followup treatment.

How long after tooth extraction do blood clots typically fall out?
Q. I had all 4 wisdom teeth extracted 5 days ago and tonight I noticed that the little white blood clots that had formed on the extraction sites began falling out. I wasn't eating anything when they began to fall out - is this normal? Between what range of time do they typically start to dislodge? I am experiencing no pain and no bleeding. I can't tell if the sockets themselves are completely bare because my cheeks are a little swollen so I can't see inside.

Photoelectric effect problem: How do you find threshold wavelength and extraction work?
Q. If we illuminate a metal beam with 2 light sources (which have 1 and 2 wavelengths), then 2 photoelectrons are emitted with v1 and v2 speeds ( v1 / v2 = n = 2). What is the threshold wavelength and the extraction work? I know this may simple, I just can't figure it out.
Asked by greg16 - Mon Jan 18 11:20:43 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. The basic equation governing the photoelectric effect is - Ep = WF + KE where Ep = the energy of the photon = hc/ , WF = the work function of the surface (extraction work), and KE = kinetic energy of the emitted electron = 0.5mv^2 (m = mass of electron, h = Planck's constant, c = speed of light)) we can write - Case 1: hc/ 1 = WF + 0.5 m v1^2 Case 2: hc/ 2 = WF + 0.5*0.25 m v1^2 subtract to get hc(1/ 1 - 1/ 2) = m v1^2(0.5 - 0.125) = 0.375 m v1^2 If 1and 2 are known, this allows v1 to be calculated WF (extraction work) can be calculated by substituting for v1 in the case 1 equation, and solving for WF. The threshold wavelength is the wavelength which gives Ep = WF. When WF is known you can calculate the threshold wavelength t… [cont.]

What does surgical extraction of a tooth involve?
Q. I'm just back from the dentist - first appointment in ten years, but no cavities - woohoo! The only problem is with my wisdom tooth on the bottom left, it's only partially erupted and I've got "pericoronitis" which I think means an infection of the gums there. I have to go back next week for x-rays to look at the exact position of the tooth but the dentist said it will probably need to come out sooner rather than later, and that it would be a "surgical extraction" because of the position and angle of the tooth. I thought he meant it would be done under general anaesthesia, but he says it's still under local, but it's far more complicated than normal extractions. So what exactly does it involve?

A. I beleive it measn that instead of the dentist playing "tug of war" with the tooth to pull it out as they do with a normal extraction, he will need to cut the gum to get access to the whole tooth so he can get it out. He will also probably have to stitch where the tooth was when he has got it out. As he is happy to do it himself under a local he's happy it's no major job and althogh you will be a sore afterwise,just keep taking the painkillers and you will be fine- nuch better that risking the complications of an abess that may develop if you dont have it done. and dont worry, you really wont feel a thing while he is doing it - dont let him start if you still have even the slightest feeling- i'm sure he wont mind only you can say how… [cont.]

I will be awake during the procedure, with just novocaine to numb the area. The oral surgeon and his assistant said I will not feel pain but I will feel up to about 20 pounds of pressure.

Many patients that come into our office usually do not even remember getting the procedure done. If you do take this drug be prepared to have someone drive you & pick you up. You will be very wobbly like if you have taken a few drinks. You will most likely sleep it off for the rest of the day.

A. In SNJ, my fee is $115 for a basic extraction. You'd need at least one x-ray at $20 first, though. Now... If someone has three teeth out that are no more difficult than removing one tooth - meaning they are all three next to each other and they are all three flapping in the breeze - I might do all three for the price of one. The site might need to be sutured, so that would cost another twenty bucks (which actually pays for the return visit to have the suture removed), but that's how I would handle it. Maybe there is someone near you who would do the same.

How long does the pain of wisdom tooth extraction last?
Q. I had my lower right wisdom tooth extracted a couple of weeks ago, it seems to be healing well the dissolveable stitches have gone and no hole it seems! The rest of that side of my mouth is really painful still, so I was wondering how long other people were in pain after wisdom tooth extraction? I presume it's due to bruising. I went back last week and they said everything was healing fine no sign of infection, they couldn't tell me why I was in so much pain still. It was supposedly an easy extraction so no bone or gum cutting needed.

A. Everyone has different results because everyone's wisdom teeth are different. I had two done, separately, the first took a couple of days to settle down and the other a couple of weeks because it had been deep into my jaw. It may indeed just be bruising, but to set your mind at rest go back to the dentist.

If the pain does get that bad or does not start getting better I would go back just to make sure nothing is infected.

Asked by benjaminbarker - Sat Mar 8 13:25:57 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Energy from geothermal sources is extracted in the form of heat. Which means, collecting the "hot" water heated by the volcanoes, use that heat to create water vapor (a increase in volume) to transform it in mechanical energy (capable to move things around) and finally transform it in electrical energy (using a dynamo). Nowadays, we only extract the hot water, to avoid using other means to heat it (saving energy) in country like Iceland.

A. Not to disrespect the previous post who is also a dentist, but I believe perhaps the question is not truly asking about "overbite". To most people, overbite means that your top teeth stick out further horizontally than your bottom teeth. Perhaps what the question meant to say was that he has a large "overjet" (prognathism) where the top teeth stick out further than the bottom teeth. Check out this website to correctly determine if you meant "overbite" or "overjet". If this is the case, then it would probably be necessary to correct your problem with some extractions aside from radical jaw surgeries.

How would you separate this mixture using a chemically active extraction?
Q. Carboxylic acids are acidic enough to dissolve in both 10% NaOH and NaHCO3. Phenols, ArOH, are weak acids and most phenols will not dissolbe in 10% NaHCO3. How would you separate a mixture of a carboxylic acid (RCOOH), an amine (RNH2), a phenol (ArOH) and a hydrocarbon (RH) using chemically active extraction?
Asked by mrd513 - Thu Nov 20 22:36:19 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If the carboxylic acid, amine and phenol were dissolved in the hydrocarbon, then use a series of aqueous extractions. A dilute acidic aqueous solution should not dissolve in the hydrocarbon mixture, but would dissolve the organic amine. RNH2 (or) + H+ (aq) ---> RNH3+ (aq) A 10% aqueous NaHCO3 solution could then be used to extract the carboxylic acid. RCOOH (or) + NaHCO3 (aq) ---> RCOONa (aq) + H2O (l) + CO2 (g) Finally, a 10% aqueous NaOH solution could be used to dissolve the phenol, leaving nothing but the hydrocarbon. ArOH (or) + NaOH (aq) ---> ArONa (aq) + H2O (l) (aq) means dissolved in water (or) means dissolved in an organic solvent (in this case the hydrocarbon).
