4. Endo - Perio Lesions Flashcards
What are the signs and symptoms of acute periodontal conditions
Rapid onset and pain
What are the causes of acute periodontal conditions
- Abscess
- NUG
- NUP
- Pericorinitis
- Herpetic Gingivostomatitis
- Desquamative Ginigivits
- Apthous Stomatitis
Discuss gingival abscess
- Previously disease free site
- Confined to the marginal gingiva
- Localized painful and rapidly expanding
- Foreign Body
Periodontal Abscess
An acute destructive process, bacterial infection in pre existing pocket ( deeper and narrower increase risk), gram negative, anaerobic.
Attached gingiva
3rd most common cause of emergency dental visit
Pocket Present
Vital Pulp
Dull Pain
Lateral Radiolucency
What are the symptoms of a periodontal abscess
There are 8
- Pain
- Percussion
- Colour Change
- Mobility
- Extrusion
- Purulence
- Sinus Tract
- Fever
Periapical Abscess - Discuss
Symptoms similar to perio abscess. No Vitality Deep Caries Pain on palpation at root apex Pain: Sharp, intermittent, severe Swelling mucobuccal fold
Acute Pulpitis signs and symptoms
Diffuse and severe pain
Incomplete tooth fracture signs and symptoms
Pain on biting, reducing occlusion reduces pain, deep narrow pocket
Peri Corinitis
Build up exudate within flap. Tissue red and swollen
What is a periodontal cyst
Well defined radiolucency on lateral surface of root
Discuss osteomylitis
Serious infection in bone Rapid Onset Pain on symptoms at start Rapid and diffuse bone destruction Radiographically: Loss of lamina dura, indistinct trabeculae
Issues with using systemic A/B
May cause super infection with opportunistic pathogens
What are the treatment goals in acute periodontal conditions
Reduce pain and resolve infection
What must you assess in acute periodontal conditions
Pulp vitality
Radiolucent lesions
percuss
Palpate
What is the repair potential for acute conditions
Good potential for repair, influenced by location and shape of the osseous defect. Best to treat during the acute phase
Describe the closed approach for acute perio conditions
Open pocket with sharp curette, root plane to remove plaque and calculus.
Irrigate with 0.1% povidone iodine and 3% H2O2
AB if pt systemically unwell
Describe the open flap approach for acute perio conditions
Maximize repair potential, treat the abscess in acute phase.
What AB to prescribe in acute conditions
Ideally based on pus sample
Pen V 500mg QDS for 7 Days
What are the post op follow up in acute conditions
RV in 1-2/7; and full perio exam in 2/52
What are the necrotising conditions
NUG/ NUP
Cancrum Oris
NOMA
Discuss NUG
Inflamm dx that ulcerate and causes necrosis Affects papillae and gingival margins Sore Bad smell Bleeding and ulcerated papillae
What are the zones of infection in NUG
- Bacterial Zone.
- Neutrophil Zone.
- Necrosis Zone.
- Spirochete Zone.
Bad Ninjas Negotiate Secretively
Causes of NUG
Poor OH, Gingivitis, Stress, Smoking and reduced host resistance
“Average” NUG pt
20 year old student, 0.01% of population.
Treatment of NUG
Debride and scale, goal is to remove micro organisms, 3 hourly H2O2 rinse, nutrition and fluid. F/U in 1-2/7. Soft tissue craters that occur after healing may need surgery,
