Q

What are the steps of giving OHI?

A

Talk with the patient about causes of periodontal disease and discuss any barriers to plaque removal
Brush twice a day once at night and one other time during the day

Use a plea sized amount of at least 1,450ppm fluoride toothpaste
Spit, don’t rinse
Floss
Fluoride mouthwash at time different to tooth brushing eg after a meal
Ask patient to practice
Make a plan
Provide support at subsequent visits

32
Q

What irrigants are used in endo?

A

EDTA 17% - removes smear layer
Sodium hypochlorite 3% - disinfects and dissolves pulpal remnants, disrupts organic portion of the smear layer
Chlorhexidine 0.2% - disinfects canal

33
Q

Why are paper points used in endo?

A

To ensure the canal is dry before medicating or obturating

34
Q

Describe reversible pulpitis

A

Vital, inflamed pulp
Responsive to pulpal testing
Caused by exposed dentine, caries and deep restorations
Following management of the aetiology, pulp can reverse to health

35
Q

Describe symptomatic irreversible pulpitis

A

Vital, inflamed pulp
Pulpal inflammation cannot heal
Sharp pain on thermal stimulus - lingers 30s or longer
Pain may be spontaneous
Analgesics typically ineffective
No TTP as inflammation hasn’t reached periapical tissues

36
Q

Describe asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis

A

Vital, inflamed pulp
Pulpal inflammation cannot heal
No clinical symptoms
May have trauma or caries that would result in exposure following removal

37
Q

Describe necrotic pulp?

A

Non vital
Asymptomatic
No response to thermal testing

38
Q

Describe symptomatic periapical periodontitis?

A

Inflammation of apical periodontium
Pain on biting, percussion and palpation - indicative of degenerating pulp
May be periapical radiolucency

39
Q

Describe asymptomatic periapical periodontitis

A

Inflammation and destruction of apical periodontium of pulpal origin
Appears as apical radiolucency
No presence of clinical symptoms

40
Q

Describe an acute apical abscess

A

Inflammatory reaction to pulpal infection and necrosis
Rapid onset with spontaneous pain and extreme TTP
Pus formation and swelling
May be no radiographic signs
Malaise, fever and lymphadenopathy

41
Q

Describe a chronic apical abscess

A

Inflammatory reaction to pulpal infection and necrosis
Little/no discomfort, gradual onset
Intermittent discharge of pus through sinus tract
Periapical/periradicular radiolucency

42
Q
