Atlas Flashcards
most common form sinusitis
maxillary
paranasal facial pain, maxillary dental pain, retroocular pain, conjunctivitis
maxillary sinusitis
type of sinusitis causing vertex headache and retroocular pain
sphenoid sinusitis
severe headache above eyes, worse with leaning forward; upper lid edema, rhinorrhea
frontal sinusitis
boggy, tender swelling above the eye
Pott puffy tumor (osteomyelitis of cranium from direct extension of FRONTAL SINUSITIS)
loosening of tooth in socket
tooth subluxation
Treatment of subluxation of permanent tooth
gauze packing/figure-eight suture around neighboring tooth/Coe-Pak dressing; refer dental f/u
tooth forced deeper into alveolar socket
tooth impaction/intrusive luxation
nosebleed with missing front tooth after car accidnet
impacted incisor driver through alveolar bone into floor of nares
total displacement of tooth from its socket
tooth avulsion
Transport media for avulsed teeth
Hanks balanced salt solution/Save-a-tooth>low-fat or skim milk>saline>salive. NOT WATER
Treatment of avulsed tooth
If permanent tooth, place in socket, see oral surgeon; if primary tooth, no treatment; GIVE TETANUS SHOT, ABX (clina or PCN)
Tooth fracture classification system
ellis
Ellis I: enamel only
Ellis II: enamel plus dentin; temp sens
Ellis III: into pulp; pink or bloody discoloration
Bleeding at gingival crevice with associated tooth tenderness on percussion
think about tooth fracture below cementoenamel junction; get a xray
Teeth fracture treatment
Ellis I: f/u in 24h if sharp edges
Ellis II: If<12, risk for pulp infxn (less dentin), do CaOH dressing, cover with gauze/Al foil, dentist w/in 24hr; adults see in 24-48
Ellis III: dental emergency, dental consult in 24-48hr; risk abscess formation
Root fracture: spolint; 24-48hr dentist
What other injury to consider in pts with facial trauma?
cervical spine injury
Tooth missing, must consider?
consider aspiration or total impaction (intrusive luxation)
alveolar bone fracture treatment
put saline soaked gauze, tetanus, abx, oral surgeon now
Patient presents with inability to close mouth, talk, swallow; swelling at TMJ
TMJ dislocation
most common type of TMJ dislocation
forward
Posterior jaw dislocations offen assoicated with what other injury?
basilar skull fx
Unilateral jaw dislocation causes deviation towards ______ side
unaffected
what two things can mimic TMJ dislocation
TMJ hemarthrosis, dystonic rxns (rx benadryl, benztropine)
TMJ dislocation reduction technique
grab angles mandible both hands, thumbs on teeth, push DOWNWARD and BACKWARD Get pre (if concern for fx) and post reduction panorex
TMJ post-reduction instructions
avoid wide mouth opening, yawning (for a a few weeks), warm compresess, soft diet 1 week; NSAIDs
Which tongue lacs require repair?
at tip: avoid forked tongue; if >1cm that gape widely, actively bleeding, or lateral margin; use a few rapidly absorbable;
always give abx, tetanus, consider admission if airway compromise a concern from bleeding
How to block tongue for repair?
inferior alveolar nerve block (blocks lingual nerve ipsilateral side); can also do local
