Q

What are primary stains?

A

Tea, coffee, wine, nicotine, colorants…

A
  • Stains in the cervical surfaces .
  • More in primary teeth.
  • Related with ferric deposits from the diet, metabolized by the oral flora.
  • Black line 1mm width. Small and frequently in the gingival margin ( B and P). The color intensity varies according to the patient , but they are not related to hygiene

Q

What is metallic pigmentation?

A
  • by inhalation of metal salts in the work environment, metals in the mouth, drugs

The metal powder attacks to the acquired pellicle and generates pigmentation

  • green: lead, nickel
  • brown- grey: iron
  • black: silver or manganese

Trist brushing is important, otherwise they could penetrate into the tooth and could cause permanent staining

Q

Tobacco pigmentation:

A

• Related with consumption of tobacco.
• Black or brown pigmentation.
• It affects palatal surface of upper molars (2/3 gingival) and plaque
of lower incisors.
• Not related to the amount of tobacco, but the type of tobacco
(Black=more pigmentation)

Q

Secondary extrinsic pigmentation:

A
  • Clorhexidine, tin fluoride, medicines containing iron, vitamin complexes! treatment: abrasive paste

Q

Whats intrinsic discolouration?

A

Intrinsic discoloration occurs following a change of the structural composition or thickness of the dental hard tissues. Chromogenic deposits inside the teeth (enamel or dentin). It is not possible to remove just brushing.

36
Alterations during teeth development (odontogenesis)
1. Dentinogenesis and amelogenesis imperfecta 2. Enamel hypoplasia 3. Endemic fluorosis (environmental) 4. Hemolytic disease of the newborn due to incompatibility in the Rh: green-brown stains 5. Acute jaundice: green-blue or brown stains 6. Tetracycline
37
What's an acquired discolouration?
Pre- eruptive: dental fluorosis - By excessive Fluoride intake (> 3 ppm). - Alters the enzymatic mechanism of the ameloblasts in the last stages of the formation of enamel. - White or yellowish spots on the surface of the enamel. - If the excess is very marked, defects in the tooth structure may appear.
38
Clinical classification of pre- eruptive fluorosis:
Feinman, 1987 1. Fluorosi simple 2. Fluorisier opaque 3. Fluorosis veined
39
Discolouration of Fluorosis simple:
White or brown spots over the free enamel surfaces
40
Fluorosis opaque discolouration:
Chalk apparence spots
41
Fluorosis veined discolouration:
Massive coloration, defects and loss of substance | Hypoplasias
42
Aquired pre eruptive Tetracycline discolouration: Whats the risk?
Risk: During odontogenesis: calcification of deciduous teeth begins at approximately the end of the fourth month of gestation and ends at approximately 11–14 months of age.
43
Aquired pre eruptive Tetracycline discolouration: attachmenet
Attached to the tooth by its affinity for Ca.
44
Aquiered Pre eruptive Tetracycline discolouration: Administration
Administration of tetracycline to pregnant women : avoided during the second or third trimester of gestation and to children up to eight years of age.
45
Where is Tetracycline also excreted?
It should not be given to nursing mothers, as they are also excreted in human milk.
46
On what does Tetracycline relate to/ depend on?
Severity related to dose, frequency, length of therapy and critically the stage of odontogenesis. Discoloration: depending on the dose or the type of the drug received in relation to body weight
47
Discolouration Clortetracicline (Aureomicina)
grey- brown
48
Discolouration | Dimetihylclortetracicline (Ledermycin) :
yellow
49
Discolouration | Doxycicline (Vibramicina)
does not stain
50
Discolouration | Oxytetracicline (Terramicina)
yellow
51
Discolouration | Tetracicline (Acromicina)
yellow
52
How does the Tetracyclinen discolouration work?
Tetracycline: incorporates as a fluorescent pigment into tissues that are calcifying at the time of administration (to form a tetracycline-calcium orthophosphate complex). Light exposition induces photochemical chromogen reactions Enamel and dentin are affected
53
Other characteristics of Tetracycline discolouration:
- Chance in the fluoresces in the presence of ultraviolet light, unlike normal teeth, these teeth acquire a bright yellow colour when illuminated with UV light There are changes of color in the teeth after its eruption resulting from oxidation. As the sunlight falls on them, the antibiotic is oxidized acquiring a darker color (brown) and it loses its fluorescence. This effect of oxidation can explain why there is some recurrence after bleaching treatments or why the anterior teeth are darker than posterior
54
Jordan and Boksman`s classification:
- 1st degree - 2n dregree - 3rd degree - 4th degree
55
1st degree classification:
First Degree. Mild tetracycline staining. This staining is yellow to grey with no banding and is uniformly spread throughout the tooth.
56
2nd degree classification:
Second Degree. Moderate tetracycline staining. This is yellow brown to dark grey staining.
57
3rd degree classification:
Third degree. is accompanied by significant banding across the tooth (gingival 1/3). Dark grey-blue colour.
58
4th degree classification:
Fourth degree. Severe tetracycline staining in all the crown surface. This is blue grey or black.
59
Tetracycline staining treatment: | Depending on the grade:
1-2 grade
60
First and second grade treatment:
It has been proven that the grades I and II respond well to “at home” external bleaching when long-lasting (approximately six months)
61
More aggressive grade treatment of Tetracycline:
More aggressive grades will have to be treated with crowns or veneers with bleaching before the prosthetic treatment Internal bleaching of the teeth with root canal treatment prior to external bleaching. This has fairly predictable short-term results. When using at home technique, tetracycline-stained teeth can be effectively lightened with the extended use of tooth bleaching. Cervical staining is the most difficult area to lighten.
62
What happened when administrated tetracycline in adults?
It has been proven that there are risks of pigmentation also in prolonged treatments.
63
Why we have risk of pigmentation by prolonged tetracycline stain?
- continuous remineralization processes of enamel. - or by incorporation into the secondary dentin, which is subsequently oxidized by the action of light, producing permanent staining.
64
Whats an acquired post eruptive discolouration?
Post-eruptive: - Trauma and bleeding pulp. - Pulp tissue remains. - Restoration materials: eg Amalgams (black/grey) - RCT: metal or internal medication. - Internal resorption. - Minocycline. - Dentin apposition, normal aging.
65
How is the post eruptive form clinical seen?
- Minocycline hydrochloride, a semi-synthetic derivative of tetracycline produces blue-grey darkening of the crowns of permanent teeth (3-6% cases). - Deposit of the antibiotic in secondary dentin through the dental vascular network and due to external penetration from saliva.
