What would lead you to the conclusion that a patient has gen aggressive perio ?
- no medical conditions
- age
- more than 3 teeth
- included that re not the 6’s and incisors
- rapid progression
what are the clinical and lab investigations for Gen agress perio?
- full history (including family history)
- full intra oral exam - including full perio exam
- microb analysis of the sample (oral rinse)
How would the prognosis of each individual teeth in agressive perio be assessed?
- pocket depths
- LOA
- mobility
- furcation involvement
What water should be used in the final stages of the washer disinfector and why?why would you not use mains water?
demineralised -reverse osmosis, sterile
it is low in mineral content compare to that of the mains water. these minerals can damage devices and provide rough surfaces for microbs to cling to .
Why would mechanical root surface debridement not be successful in eliminating pocket bacteria?
- incomplete RSD- with difficult access
- pathogens may not fully be removed from the area
- lack of flushing pocket
Why would antibiotics not be successful?
- may be inactive
- may be resisted by the biofilms
- super infection
- may be inadequate drug concentration
How would you manage a periodontal abscess?
- give LA
- incise and drain
- rinse with saline solution
- sub gingival debridment
- review/antibiotics
- XLA
How would you bond composite to a tooth? Give 2 dental materials and examples?
- conditioner- acid etch 37% phosporic acid
2. dentine bonding agent- prime and bond
What are 3 reason why a post core would debond?
- post fracture
- core fracture
- root fracture
- caries
- traumatic fracture
fracture occurs at junction of post and core?
- lack or loss of tooth structure required
- inadequate furrel
- bruxism truma
- high occlusal
WHat are 3 ways of removing a fractured post that that is visable?
- ultrasonic tip
- moskito forceps
- masseron kit
What are 5 reasons for a composit restoration to give transient sensitivity to thermal stimuli?
- deep cavity
- pulp exposure
- uncured rsin at bottom of restoration
- insuficciant coolant on preperation
- contraction pourosity
What could you do to prevent transient sensitivity?
- pulp cap
- lots of coolant on prep
- small incurements of comp
- indirect restoration
- liner
what would you diagnose if a patient attends with inflammed ging which extends into the mucogingival margin?
desquamative gingivitis
What conditions are linked with with squamative gingivitis?
pemphigus
phemphigoid
lichenplanus
What 2 factors contribute to suqamitve gingivitis?
SLS
plaque
What 2 topicaal treatments can you use for suqamative gingivitis?
betamethasone mouthwash
tacrolimus ointment
A child has swallowed flouride toothpaste, what would you ask mum?
what age is child?
what is the concentration of the tooth paste?
