2016/17? F Flashcards
Treatment options in the event of radiolucencies? (2)
RCT
Periradicular Surgery
XLA
No Tx & Monitor
Two things required for valid consent? (2)
Must be informed
current
continuous
specific to the procedure
six things you need to inform the patient for valid consent? (6)
Things to tell pt:
cost
likelihood of success
complications
alternative options
risks and benefits
likely consequences of no Tx
Patient with space between 13, 14
Investigations and justification (6)
Radiograph (PA or OPT) - to check if there is a supernumerary or pathology causing the spacing
Sensibility testing - as supernumerary may cause root resorption and loss of vitality
Mobility assessment - root resorption due to supernumerary may cause mobility
Patient with space between 13, 14. What might make treatment of this case difficult?
Lower canine over erupting into the space
Presence of supernumerary causing root resorption of these teeth, requiring XLA
Position of tooth may make surgical extraction difficult
Patient with space between 13, 14. What would make the implant placement difficult?
Lack of space between 13, 14 for implant to be placed
Aesthetic zone so more challenging
Prosthesis will likely be involved in guidance
What three features of an RPD give tooth support?
Occlusal rests, cingulum rests, incisal rests
What function does a palatal extension provide on the 12 in an RPD?
indirect retention
What function does the palatal extension place on the 16, 24?
Reciprocation
What is good about the gingival margin being clear in an RPD? (1)
Keeps the gingival margin of teeth clear for improved periodontal health, prevents gum stripping and food packing
Angular cheilitis in elderly patient
What two organisms are linked to it? (2)
S. Aureus, C. albicans
What sort of sample would you collect in a case of angular chelitis?
Swab
Why would you use miconazole if sampling taking too long when trying to sample angular cheilitis? (1)
As it has antimicrobial action against candida and staphylcocci
Give two examples of immunocompromised and gastric bleeding disease and explain aetiology in this (2)
HIV and Cancer Tx - immunosuppression allows opportunistic pathogen to cause the disease (C. Albicans)
Crohn’s and Coeliacs - lack of absorption causing malnutrition and suppressive Tx for Crohn’s
What instructions would you give the patient on denture hygiene? (2)
Take it out at night, soak in alkaline peroxide for 20 mins then in water overnight, brush after meals
Why might someone choose to use Alginate & medium body PVS for master impressions?
both have good flowability, wetability and capture good surface detail
What are two components for each Alginate & Medium body PVS?
alginate - sodium alginate, calcium sulphate
PVS - poly dimethysiloxane, filler
MOD amalgam fracture with buccal cusps involved. Intact GP. What would be your two restorative options?
MCC crown
Onlay
MOD amalgam fracture with buccal cusps involved. Intact GP. Been over 6 months, what would be your tx plan?
Have to reRCT the tooth as GP has been exposed >3mths, bacteria could have reinfected canal and loss of coronal seal
Features of a Nayyar core (3)
RCT as normal, 2-3mm of coronal GP removed, amalgam is packed into the canal as the core is built up and increases retention
2 things you can use to bond to amalgam (2)
MDP and 4-META
What has higher bond strength, composite or amalgam? (1)
Composite
What could the pathologist tell the clinician about the findings of a histological sample in a patient with pemphigus? (3)
Basketweave appearance of the immunofluorescence
Suprabasal split
Presence of Tzank cells in the split
What is the aetiology of pemphigus vulgaris? (2)
Caused by autoimmune antibodies IgG, caused by a genetic predisposition and an environmental trigger, more common in women
What other intra oral condition would present like pemphigus vulgaris but with different pathological findings? (1)
Pemphigoid
Two risk factors for SC carcinoma?
alcohol & smoking
What type of staging is commonly used to diagnose carcinomas?
TNM
What three ways are there of grading carcinomas?
By level of dysplasia, mitotic figure and invasion of other tissue (eg underlying muscle)
What medical/surgical interventions would you do to prevent/treat a SC Carcinoma? (3)
surgical removal, chemotherapy, radiotherapy
Name two types of tooth wear
erosion & attrition
BEWE grading system (1)
0 = no surface loss
1 = initial loss of enamel surface detail
2 = distinct surface loss on <50% of sites
3 = >50%
Give 3 named examples of topical fluoride you can give to patient (3)
Fluoride varnish 22.600ppm
Toothpaste up to 5000ppm
Mouthwash 225ppm
What is the Dahl technique? (1)
A way of increasing the OVD over a period of time to gain space in cases of localised tooth wear
Describe how the Dahl technique works (3)
Composite added to anterior teeth, increasing the OVD and causing posterior disclusion, over the space of 3-6 months the posterior teeth over erupt back into contact at the new OVD, giving space for any definitive anterior restorations (usually the initial composite is definitive)
4 contraindicated groups for using the Dahl Technique (4)
Bisphosphonates, implants, existing bridgework, previous ortho
4 constituents of composite with examples (4)
Resin - bis-GMA
Filler - silica
photoinitiator - camphorquinone
binding agent - silane coupling agent (bonds resin to silica)
Paeds 11 fractured. Have not examined yet
What two things to ask about injury? (2)
Have all of the tooth fragments been accounted for or are pieces missing?
Where and how did the injury happen?
Paeds 11 fractured. Mum asks about prognosis; what factors would you say are involved? (4)
Any pulpal exposure
Displacement of the tooth within the socket
Fracture of the root
Length of time any pulp has been exposed for
Enamel dentine # what would you do about the missing fragment and how would you follow this up? (3)
Ask the patient if the fractured fragment was located post injury
If not or unsure then PA soft tissue view radiograph to check the soft tissues
If still not located then refer the patient for a chest x-ray under the concern that it has been inhaled or swallowed
