Q

conclusion of dougall’s research

A

people with disabilities had very limited access to dental care
- people of determination already experienced a lot of barriers to dental care due to inequity in interactions with oral healthcare services

Q

MY conclusion from dougall’s research

A
  • more attention needs to be diverted to people of determination.
    the lack of pharmacological support being 22% prior to covid 19 leaves a lot of people with disabilities without dental care
  • this issue could be escalated in dental forums or the EU parliament
  • the increase in tele dentistry highlights the key role of technology in catering to patients. in order to stay abreast of this approach to patients, I would ensure to attend various courses teaching how to apply tele dentistry as a future practitioner. We need to be open minded to technological shifts in dentistry in the future.

Q

tell me about current affair in dentistry

A

4th march
- researchers have discovered non-invasive method to diagnose oral cancer in its early stages
- at the site of the suspected oral lesions, on inspection one of the proteins present was expressed in high levels and the other was expressed in lower levels to the regular.
- an index was created combining the expression levels of either proteins.
- biopsies would be reduced by 95% as they would tell the clinician who really needs a biopsy
- this lab-based approach inspired development of a POC device, which can directly be used in the clinic to give the index developed.

Q

tell me about political current affair in dentistry

A

13th February
- a new manifesto was launched, promoting good oral health and wellbeing for all people in the EU
- why does it matter? according to the EU, oral conditions are the most common NCDs in Europe - account for 50% of all adult population.
- oral conditions are linked to other NCDs such as paradontitis being linked to heart attack/stroke
- oral conditions impact people throughout their lives; whether speaking, eating, sleeping or just pain in general. children are also 2x to perform poorly.
- oral conditions impact the most vulnerable populations

Q

why use bulk-fill?

A

amalgam takes much less time than regular resin to place, so bulk fill reduces the time takes for the resin to be placed

Q

what is microleakage

A

diffusion of bacteria oral fluids ions and molecules between the tooth and restorative or filling material

27
Q

how was the new protocol tested/assesed?

A

micro leakage scores were compared between old and new protocol; the restored teeth were thermally fatigued to see how this would affect the resin; then they were dyed and observed for micro leakage.

28
Q

how did Fleming’s research inspire you?

A

I was very fascinated by the polymerisation shrinkage of the resin, and the change from amalgam to resin, hence I presented about that in dentistry society.

29
Q

population of dublin

A

544,107 - roughly 544,000

30
Q

London population

A

8.982 million

31
Q

new grange how old

A

5,200 - passage tomb in the Boyne Valley

32
Q

what is newgrange best known for

illumination of the passage by the solstice sun (this is when either of the earths poles reach maximum tilt away from the sun)

33
Q

when was great famine

A

1845-52

34
Q

what happened during the great famine?

A

starvation, disease and emigration
- potato crop which a 1/3 of Ireland’s population relied on was infected by a disease destroying the crop

35
Q

how many people died during great famine?

A

10^6

36
Q

PTFE facts

A
  • 400% its original length
  • non-stick application and removal
  • inert to acid etching
  • clear so it does not have to be removed unlike the conventional matrices made out of metal or plastic; therfore no risk of change of shape.
  • can be used to fill a cavity opening of a multiple visit root canal treatment - before cotton was used, but since the tape is hydrophobic, it doesn’t get soaked so its much more useful.
37
Q

LASER what does it stand for

A

light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation

38
Q

LASERS knowledge

A

two types: HPL and LPL
- HPL used for soft or bone periodontal surgeries
- used to remove dentine impreganted with calculus
- LPL - used to eradicate bacteria found in the socket of the affected tooth
- accelerates the repair of the damaged tissue, reduces pain

39
Q

why are LPL used?

A

PBM action
- therapy that uses light in the visible or infrared spectrum
- this therapy causes increased vascularisation therefore the reduced pain and inflammation and accelerated repair.

40
Q

what bacteria cause gingivitis

A

streptococcus and fusobacterium

41
Q

what happens in periodontal disease

A

the PDL are destroyed, therefore causing recession of the gum and the tooth to be loose out of its socket.

42
Q

types of periodontal disese

A
  1. drug induced
  2. plaque induced - plaque is a thin film that forms on the surface of the tooth due to poor oral hygiene
  3. hormonal gingivitis
  4. nutritional gingivitis
43
Q

what would you like to research on? LONG

A
  • the use of saliva in the early detection of conditions such as oral cancer
  • I want to develop a device which can be used directly in clinics to give a detailed overview of the patient’s saliva’s composition in terms of bacteria found.
  • this device therefore could be used for more than just the detection of oral cancer
  • saliva is a mirror of our body
  • the early diagnosis can prevent further progression of the condition.
  • it is non-invasive and it can reduce patient anxiety and discomfort; furthermore saliva is very easy to collect in sufficient amounts.
  • THIS RESEARCH WOULD ALIGN WITH TRINITY’S RESEARCH THEME OF ORAL CANCER AND THE MCROBIOMES (SPEC. ORAL)
44
Q

What would you like to research SHORT?

A

the use of different lasers of different wavelengths and what each wavelength would be best at eradicating which bacteria

45
Q

what two diseases are associated with oral conditions in particular?

A
  • cardiovascular diseases
  • diabetes
46
Q

how does periodontal disease cause other diseases

A
  • inflammation in the oral cavity = higher numbers of inflammatory markers in the bloodstream
  • immune response of the body is affected
  • bacteria at site: reservoir of bacteria that enters the bloodstream
47
Q

difference between gingivitis and periodontitis

A
  • gingivitis - early stage of paradontitis
48
Q

how EXACTLY does periodontitis cause heart disease

A

the inflammation of the gum causes the cardiovascular system reacts by increasing the amounts of fats and cholesterol in the bloodstream. these fats/cholesterol can build up in the coronary arteries causing plaques. then atherosclerosis at more advanced stages.

49
Q

what exactly is PBL approach?

A
  • students are given an open-ended problem
  • work in groups to solve it
  • more active method of teaching
50
Q

what is open flap surgery

A
  • an incision is made, then the pocket is cleaned so that the bacteria can be eradicated
  • it is sutured back
  • this is used when non-invasive procedures do NOT work
  • performed under local anaesthetic
51
Q

what are periodontal pockets

A
  • gum that has separated from the tooth causing an unclean able region where bacteria can accumulate
52
Q

sedation vs local anaesthetic

A

L.A. - used to numb a specific area/tooth
sedation - used to calm patient down and relieve pain at the same time - eg. nitrous oxide.

53
Q

trigeminal nerve

A
  • fifth cranial nerve and the largest one too
  • administering anaesthesia there causes numbness
  • responsible for the scalp, face, corneas of the eyes, sinuses and insides of the mouth and nose.
54
Q

when was mobile dental clinic launched

A

April of 2023 in UAE

55
Q

by whom was dental mobile clinic launched

A

emirates health services

56
Q

tell me about the mobile dental clinicS you know of?

A
  • the one launched by EHS - seven are currently available

57
Q

what is tele dentistry definition

A

use of interactive audio, video, data communications to provide and support dental care delivery, diagnosis, consultation, treatment, transfer of dental information and education

58
Q

advantages of teledentistry

A
  • cost-effective
  • can be used for areas that have limited access to dental care
  • can improve awareness on oral health/dental hygiene
59
Q

methods of teledentistry

A
  • synchronous - live video
  • asynchronous - transmission of recorded health information
  • mHealth - consultations via mobile prones
  • remote patient monitoring
60
Q

cons of teledentistry

A
  • have to have internet access
  • technical errors may cause misinterpretations of images
  • depends on quality of technology
61
