Safety

Stimuli response (don’t shake <2 year olds)

Shout for help (ambulance, bag-valve)

Airways (pinkie sweep)

Breathing (If not breathing, give 5 rescue breaths before continuing – no tilt chin lift)

Circulation (Brachial pulse in infants, if <60bpm then begin compressions

  • Just above bottom of sternum with 2 thumbs to 1/3 of the A-P depth
  • At a rate of 120bpm and a ratio of 15 compressions to 2 breaths)

Reassess after 1 minute

  • With children a carotid pulse can be taken & the head tilt chin lift manoeuvre is OK*
  • Compressions are done with 1 han*

Q

reversible pulpitis

A

Mild inflammation to pulp: Caries, exposed dentine, defective restoration

Tooth may respond more than normal to certain stimuli such as heat and sweet.

  • Stimuli tend to produce a sharp pain (A delta) that resolves within 5-10 secs after the stimuli removed.

Cause of inflammation (eg caries) is removed -> pulp-dentine complex will return to normal

Q

irreversible pulpitis

(symptomatic or asymptomatic)

A

Dull aching pain lasts minutes or hours

  • Worse at night or when lying down due to an increase in intra pulpal pressure
  • Symptoms may be initiated by temperature changes

Min radiograph changes til advanced – If it is then PDL widening

Removal of the causal factor does not lead to pulpal regeneration

If left untreated will become necrotic.

transfer lines for jaw reg

A
  • High smile line – can get an idea of how much tooth will show when smiling
  • Centre line – the midline of the teeth matches the midline of the patient’s face
  • Canine line – dictates the size of tooth to be used.
  • Residual alveolar line – so that the teeth are set in such a way above the lower residual ridges that the contacts are on this line
  • Alveolar contour line – because if the teeth are set on a slope then the denture may be displaced during function
  • Rim profile – to ensure adequate lip support
