Q

Why is there staining of teeth from trauma or from incomplete extirpation fo coronal pulp tissue during root canal in non-vital teeth?

A

Pulpless teeth discolour often as a result of haemolysis of red blood cells. Haemolysis of rbc’s releases haemoglobin which combines with
hydrogen sulphide from bacteria, producing iron sulphide.

    guide. Note shade of discoloured tooth and the shade to aim for.
  3. Apply Vaseline to gingivae.
  4. Place rubber dam isolating the tooth to be bleached. Eye protection for all.
  5. Remove palatal access restoration and pulp chamber restoration.
  6. Remove GP to just beyond the level of the dento-gingival junction - need to use
    mini head and adult burs.
  7. Place 1mm of zinc phosphate cement over GP.
  8. Etch pulp chamber with 37% phosphoric acid for 30 seconds. Wash and dry.
  9. Mix perborate and sterile water to a THICK paste. Apply to the labial aspect of the
    access cavity.

29
Q

what are the problems with Non-Vital Bleaching Walking Bleach?

A

 External cervical resorption (ECR)
 Spillage
 Failure to bleach
 Brittleness of tooth crown

30
Q

why are we moving away from the use of hydrogen peroxide in Non-Vital Bleaching Walking Bleach?

A

because of case reports

highlighting ECR.

31
Q

what does ECR stand for?

2) what can be done to prevent it?
3) what is ECR?
4) what is it linked to?

A

External cervical resorption
2) Particularly if H2O2 is used it is suggested that at the end of treatment it is sensible to
place non-setting calcium hydroxide for 2/52 in an attempt to prevent ECR.
3External cervical resorption (ECR) is the loss of dental hard tissue as a result of odontoclastic action; it usually begins on the cervical region of the root surface of the teeth.
4)o thermocatalytic methods
o previously traumatised teeth
o no lining placed over GP
o H2O2 stimulating odontoclastic activity

32
Q

What are the indications for vital bleaching?

A
 Severe extrinsic stain
 Age related discolouration
 Calcified pulp
 Fluorosis especially brown stain
 Mild tetracycline stain
33
Q

vital bleaching involves what?

2)what can it be used fir? and when shouldn’t it be used?

A

1) This involves the external application of H2O2, heat and light to the labial surfaces of
the teeth in the dental chair.
It can be used to lighten teeth at the darker end of the ‘normal’ spectrum.
2) NO PLACE IN CHILDREN!!!

34
Q

what is the percentage of H2O2 used in vital bleaching? in surgery?
2) and the phosphoric acid?

A

30% (vol) H2O2 solution

2) 37%

35
Q

what are the 12 steps of insurgery vital pulp bleaching?

A

Technique
1. Pre-operative radiographs and vitality tests. Check for leaking restorations
2. Clean teeth with pumice and water to remove extrinsic stain
3. Apply topical anaesthetic gel to the gingival margins
4. Coat buccal and palatal gingivae with Orabase gel to protect from bleaching
solution
5. Isolate each tooth to be bleached using floss ligatures, except the end teeth which
should be clamped
6. Cover the metal clamps with water moistened gauze to prevent overheating under
the heat-light source
Anterior Aesthetics
7 Paula\word\lectures\discteethundergrad
7. Etch the buccal and 1/3 of palatal surfaces with phosphoric acid for 60 seconds,
wash and dry. Soak a strip of gauze in the H2O2 and cover the teeth to be
bleached with it
8. Set the heat lamp 13-15” from teeth. Set the rheostat to a mid temperature range
- turn until the pt can just feel the warmth in the teeth and turn down a little
9. Maintain damp gauze by reapplying the bleach every 3-5 minutes using a cotton
bud. Always replace the lid on the bottle as H2O2 deactivates in air.
10. After 30 minutes remove rubber dam and polish teeth. Apply fluoride drops for 2-
3 minutes.
11. Post-op sensitivity can be relieved with Paracetamol/Tooth Mousse
12. Assess the change - it may be necessary to repeat the process (in the USA up to
10 times…). Review periodically, it may need to be repeated every year

36
Q

1) WHat is the active ingredient in Matrix Bleaching (Home, nightguard/tray vital bleaching)? +%
2) the mode of action is unclear what is it thought to be?
3) what does the active ingredient brake down into?
4) what is the significance of the the molecular weight of 2 of the final products?

A

1)10% carbamide peroxide gel
2) oxidising process
3) Carbamide
peroxide breaks down into approx 3% H2O2, and urea. These then break down to
oxygen, water, ammonia and carbon dioxide.
4) Urea and H2O2 have small molecular
weight and can therefore diffuse rapidly through enamel and dentine. This may
explain the transient pulpal sensitivity sometimes experienced.

37
Q

what 5 materials are required for Matrix Bleaching (Home, nightguard/tray vital bleaching)?

A

Upper impression and working model
 custom-fabricated soft mouthguard, avoiding gingivae
 syringes of gel for home application

38
Q

what are the in surgery steps in providing atrix Bleaching (Home, nightguard/tray vital bleaching)?

A
  1. Alginate impression of appropriate arch
  2. Pour up a stone working model
  3. Relieve the labial surface of the model with wax spacer (0.5mm)
  4. Produce a 2mm thick soft pull-down vacuum formed splint. Carefully trim away
    from the gingival margin as there should be no contact with the gingivae. Some
    kits advocate grooving the cervical region of the teeth on the model to ensure an
    extra tight fit.
  5. Determine initial shade using a Vita shade guide and record. OHI to patient. Full
    mouth prophylaxis. Instruct patient to apply gel onto the internal labial aspect of
    the splint, just on those teeth to be bleached.
  6. The length of time the splint should be worn varies with different systems, from 2
    hours per day to all night. Low viscosity gels need topping up.
  7. Review pt 2 weeks later and again at 6 weeks. 80% of colour change should have
    occurred by then
39
Q

what are the side effects on the gingivae of Matrix Bleaching (Home, nightguard/tray vital bleaching)?

A

 gingivitis
 number of micro-organisms
 cell necrosis if concentrated directly on tissue
 mutagenic potential seen in mice

40
Q

what are the side effects on the pulp of Matrix Bleaching (Home, nightguard/tray vital bleaching)?

A

Mild sensitivity to temperature changes - due to small molecular weight urea and hydrogen peroxide
Cellular pulp changes seen with higher concentrations, but thought to be insignificant
with carbamide peroxide (Anderson 1999). Problems occur with overheated or
traumatised teeth.

41
Q

what are the side effects on the enamel of Matrix Bleaching (Home, nightguard/tray vital bleaching)?

A

Insignificant change in enamel surface morphology or subsurface enamel hardness
after 6 weeks use.
Concern that lower pH solutions/gels would cause demineralisation. CP produces
urea which is known to neutralise the acidic effects of carbohydrates and inhibits
acidogenicity of plaque.
There is an initial decrease in bond strength to composite resins placed immediately
after bleaching. This is thought to be because of residual O2 on the tooth surface,
which inhibits polymerisation

42
Q

what are the benefits of good teeth bleaching?

A

1) may offer an effective alternative to restoring discoloured vital and nonvital teeth to a more normal colour. 2) can replace more invasive and
expensive procedures such as crowns.
3) can provide initial or supplementary
lightening of teeth, increasing the efficacy of other treatment such as veneers.

43
Q

EU legislation has lead to changes. how is this affected the conc of hydrogen peroxide used in under 18s

2) What does the CDO say about who under 18 are able to receive tx using this conc of H2O2?
3) who can’t?

A

must be less than 6%
2) for therapeutic reasons (eg vital
teeth with fluorosis, hypomineralisation, idiopathic mottling and dark non-vital teeth)
for young people before their 18th birthday
3) Young patients (usually females) exhibiting no enamel discolouration but
who want ‘whiter smiles’ are not included

44
Q

what is ncl moving away from using and towards due to he 2012 legislation of EU?

A

from using walking
bleach with sodium perborate (walking bleaching) to using the inside/outside NV bleach technique with 10%CP(carbamide peroxide gel) (less than 6% HP)

45
Q

What are the steps to doing inside/outside NV bleaching (brief)?

A

Single root-filled tooth, no signs of pathology
• Imp for tray, baseline records
• Prepare access cavity and seal over GP
• Fit tray, instruct on OH and use, give syringe
of CP
• 2 hr application in/out up to twice per day
(young pt)
• Stop at desired shade/if overwhitening

46
Q

what are the affects of an over-contoured restoration?

2) and under?

A

1) inadequate stimulation of gingivae, food lodgement, increase plaque retention (halitosis and caries), gignigvl inflam, PD, mobile teeth= atrophy of gingivae
2) direct impact of food- trauma to supporting tissues

47
