What are the radiographic signs of dentinenesis imperfecta?
obliterated canals and pulp chamber from dentine deposits- originally errupt large but become sclerosised
reduced root length with rounded apices
bulbous cron
occult absecesses/periapical rediolucency with the lack of clinical pathology
How would you monitor failure of a pulpotomy?
Clincially - mobility, pain, chronic sinus
Radiographically- radiolucency, external/internal resorption, furcation bone loss
describe primary incisor pulpotomy vs primary molar pulpotomy technique?
usually a pulpectomy and not a pulpotmy carried out due to lack of pulpal tissue. Be aware of using ferric sulphate on the anteriors due to the staining action of it. be aware of aesthetics for the restoration
Primary molars- ferric sulphate can be used and SSC may usually the option for restoration.
Why may a first molar be impacted?
angle of the path of erruption
small arch meaning space may not allow for erruption
ectopic crypt
morphology of surrounding teeth
What are the deleterious effect of impacted teeth?
root resoption bone loss tooth loss tipping and tilting of teeth ectopic teeth
What characteristics of the permanent dentition allows for the replacement of primary teeth without crowding?
mandibular and maxillary growth
slight proclination of perm teeth
leeway space between the primary teeth allowing for space for adult teeth to errupt
What is the leeway space and how does it prevent / stop crowding?
the amount of space that the primary molars occupy with is greater than the space required for the perm premolars - thus extra space allows for the molars to come in behind
space on lower- usually about 2.5mm and on upper around 1.5mm
What is extrusion?
partial displacement of a tooth in its socket which is characteristed by the full or partial loss of PDL. Tooth becomes loose and displaced. tooth will either be protruded or retruded.
How would you splint an extrusion?
flexible splint for 2 weeks which is passive and placed onto tooth with composite.
Flexible stainless steel wire
What would you asses prior to placing or planning implants?
general- perio status, medical cautions!, smoking
Local- OH- bone support (quality and quantity and current position of the existing teeth

What is the technique for the paralleling with radiographs?
both receptor and object are parallel but not in contact with each other
beam is beam is the perpinducular
long fsd should be used to prevent magnification.

What are the principles of flap design ?
maximum access with minimal trauma (all flaps heal equally )
wide based incision - used to maintain circulation
continual strokes down to bone
no sharp angles
minimal trauma to papilla
ensure flap margins and suturs lie on sound bone
no tension on closing
no crushing tissues
what are two types of cyst removal?
Marsupialation- cut in the cyst wall with the removal of the contents with the aim to reduce the size of the cyst which may be followed by enucleation at a later date
A- simem to perform and can spare vital structers
D- cyst may reform, linging not available for histo sampling, lots of aftercare. `
Enucleation- the complete cystic lesion is removed
A-little after care, allows for primary closure , able to examine whole cyst histo
D- risk for fracture in mandubular, clot filled cavity may become infected, loss of teeth.
how does a radicular cyst form ?
associated with the roots of the teeth and usually has an inflammatory aetiology and sequel to pulpitis and periradicular granuloma develops from epithelium
