Q

Q1: orthodontic separators are elastic loops that can be placed between the teeth.

Before fitting a preformed metal crown using the hall technique, how long would you have the separators in prior to the crown placement?

A

3-7 days

66
Q

Q2: how does the use of orthodontic separators help aid caries diagnosis?

A

by allowing visualisation and access to the proximal contacts.

67
Q

Q3: what would you use prior to using proximal sealants to gain access to proximal regions?

A

Orthodontic separators.

68
Q

Q4: which tooth would be treated in the hall techniques?

A

Primary molar tooth

69
Q

Q5: the hall technique is a method of “sealing in” caries within a primary molar tooth what is done to the primary molar tooth to prepare for the Hall technique?

A

No major preparation is needed other than cleaned tooth, this includes no caries removal, tooth preparation or the use of local anaesthetic.

70
Q

Q6: the hall technique is particularly useful for restoring teeth with multi-surface carious lesions, what must be checked clinically and radiographically before the procedure is done?

A

The tooth must have no clinical or radiographic signs of pulpal pathology.

71
Q

Q7: the Hall technique manipulates the plaques environment by sealing it into the tooth, separating it from substrates, how does this change the bacterial profile in the caries?

A

Bacteria that is present in the plaques environment that is constantly receiving nutrients, will eventually favour a profile that makes it cariogenic.

By restricting its supply, the bacterial profile in the caries changes significantly to a less cariogenic community and as a result the lesion does not progress.

72
Q

Q8: the Hall technique starts with establishing a baseline indicator of occlusal vertical dimension, what is a occlusal vertical dimension?

A

is a term used in dentistry to indicate the superior-inferior relationship of the maxilla and the mandible when the teeth are occluded in maximum intercuspation.

73
Q

Q9: before placing the metal crown in the Hall technique, you must gently remove the separators that are placed in the proximal regions, what instruments would you use to achieve this?

A

Excavator or flat plastic.

74
Q

Q10: the preformed metal crowns that are commonly used are available in sizes 4, 5 and 6. What must you measure, and what instrument would you use to carry out this measurement?

A

The mesio-distal width and the buccal-lingual width of the tooth, this can be measured using a number of devices however the most effective device is a periodontal probe.

75
Q

Q11: what must be loaded in the crown before inserting in on to the molar?

A

The crown must be loaded with a glass ionomer luting cement and should be filled at least 1/3 of its capacity.

76
Q

Q12: after the placing of the metal crown, what must be recorded?

A

The measurement for the occlusal vertical dimension must be recorded again.

With the recordings taken you can now work out if there has been an increase in occlusal vertical dimension.

77
Q

Q1: what is the pulpotomy technique?

A

This is a technique where inflamed and possibly infected coronal pulp tissue is removed from a carious tooth to preserve healthy radicular pulp.

78
Q

Q2: how would you gain access to the pulp chamber when performing a pulpotomy?

A

Gain access to the pulp chamber using the high speed hand piece with the diamond bur.

79
Q

Q3: once you have entered the pulp chamber you should observe bleeding from the pulp, if bleeding does not occur and the pulp appears necrotic, what can be assumed?

A

That the pulp is non-vital and a pulpotomy would not be the appropriate course of treatment, a pulpectomy is required or extraction.

80
Q

Q4: the removal of the coronal pulp will be done using a slow speed handpiece, what type of bur would be used?

A

A large rosehead bur.

81
Q

Q5: what is haemostasis?

A

Haemostasis is a process to prevent and stop bleeding.

82
Q

Q6: once the coronal pulp has been removed in a pulpotomy, haemostasis needs to be achieved, how do you do this?

A

Placing a cotton pellet soaked in ferric sulphate into the remaining pulpal tissue and canal entrances. Use tweezers to deliver the cotton pellet into the access cavity, pressing firmly.

83
Q

Q7: how long would you leave the ferric sulphate in contact with the pulpal tissue?

A

For 1-2 minutes

84
Q

Q8: what would be placed in the pulp chamber after haemostasis been achieved in a pulpotomy?

A

Fill the pulp chamber with zinc oxide eugenol material. And the place a preformed metal crown.

85
Q

Q1: you see a patient with fluctuant swelling and presenting with pain. The swelling is quite high in the buccal sulcus, you decide not to do an extraction today, why did you come to this conclusion?

A

There is too much swelling to infiltrate the region with local anaesthetic.

86
Q

Q2:evidence based research undergone by WHO states that an intake of free sugars up to ——- times a day will increase risk of developing caries significantly.

A

Four

87
Q

Q3: vipeholm studies showed eating sticky sweets between meals increased caries by between ……. To ……… times.

A

4 to 10

88
Q

Q4: what are the three key requirements for affecting change in health related behaviour?

89
Q

Q5: the primary mineral in saliva is hydroxy-apatite, when fluoride is added to the oral environment, the hydroxyl in the apatite crystal can be replaced by the f- ions to produce what? And how does this affect the solubility? The replacement of the hydroxyl by the f- leads to the formation of the fluorapatite, which is less soluble

A

The replacement of the hydroxyl by the f- leads to the formation of the fluorapatite, which is less soluble

90
