Oral SurgeryThe straight elevator is properly used to advantage when the interdental bone is used as a fulcrum. This is because the straight elevator can be inserted into the periodontal ligament space along the long axis of the tooth, and when levered against the interdental bone, it helps in lifting the tooth from the socket. Using the adjacent tooth as a fulcrum can potentially damage it.

Oral SurgeryThe temporal fossa is located on the side of the skull, above the zygomatic arch and lateral to the orbit. The Gillies approach involves an incision in the temporal region to access the zygomatic bone, which is then manipulated to reduce the fracture and restore its normal anatomical position. This approach is commonly used in oral and maxillofacial surgery for the management of complex zygomatic fractures.

Proliferative verrucous leukoplakia (PVL) is a high-risk form of leukoplakia with a very high rate of malignant transformation, often exceeding 70% in some studies. Speckled leukoplakia also has a significant malignant potential, higher than homogenous leukoplakia, but generally lower than PVL. Lichen planus has a much lower potential for malignancy.
