Q

What are the radiographic signs of dentinenesis imperfecta?

A

obliterated canals and pulp chamber from dentine deposits- originally errupt large but become sclerosised
reduced root length with rounded apices
bulbous cron

Q

How would you monitor failure of a pulpotomy?

Q

describe primary incisor pulpotomy vs primary molar pulpotomy technique?

A

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.

Q

What characteristics of the permanent dentition allows for the replacement of primary teeth without crowding?

A

mandibular and maxillary growth
slight proclination of perm teeth
leeway space between the primary teeth allowing for space for adult teeth to errupt

Q

What is the leeway space and how does it prevent / stop crowding?

A

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 are two types of cyst removal?

A

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.
