Q

Complicated extractions, the protocol includes:

Anticoagulant patient

1) INR should be controlled from 4 days before surgery, oral anticoagulation should
replaced by LMWH.

Q

Chlorhexidine use in dentistry?

A
  • It is one of the most effective agents against dental plaque and gingivitis (including acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis)
  • It prevents infection after oral surgery even in immunosuppressed patients
  • Chlorhexidine is the most used antiseptic in dentistry

Names:
Chlorhexidine (0.12-1.2%) Cetrimide
Cetylpyridonium chloride

18
Q

Sodium Hypoclorite 2%

A

It is used as a root canal treatment: irrigation with 2% sodium hypochlorite solution dissolves the necrotic dental pulp and generates rapid antisepsis.

19
Q

Antivirals?

A

In dentistry, the application of antiretroviral treatments is limited to the treatment of oropharyngeal herpes simplex and cold sores, which mainly affect immunocompromised patients.

20
Q

Recommendations for patient with chemotherapy treatment in dental office?

A

Many of the oral complications of chemotherapy can be relieved by good dental control before starting chemotherapy. Such control should include

✓ Proper treatment of caries, periodontal lesions and other potential sources of infection.

✓ Smoothening of cusps or cutting prosthesis to avoid injury.

✓ Maintenance of a good oral hygiene throughout the treatment.

21
Q

A

SYSTEMIC ANTIBIOTICS EFFECTIVE AGAINST GRAM (+), (-) AND ANAEROBIC

METRONIDAZOLE
TIGECYCILINE

25
Q

Patient with asthma and COPD in dental office

A

The dental process can cause an acute exacerbation (crisis). In this case, treatment should be discontinued and short-acting bronchodilators should be administered.

It has been suggested that prophylactic administration of bronchodilators prior to dental treatment may prevent the decrease in lung function.

In patients with asthma who do not respond adequately to treatment, the intervention should be postponed.

Take the necessary precautions in case the patient receives oral steroids.

Note: Precaution with CVD patient as high doses o prescribing Sympathomimetic such as salbutamol could activate B-1 cells and the heart!

26
Q

Reccomendations in treatment of peptic ulcer patient in dental office?

A
  • Avoid the prescription of non-selective NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin, dexketoprofen, etc.). The analgesic of choice in these cases will be paracetamol.
  • Assess the need for gastroprotection if necessary, if NSAIDs are prescribed.
  • Insist on compliance with adequate hygienic-dietary measures.
  • Stress management.
  • Apply measures of local hemostasis (ulcerous patients with tendency to hemorrhage).
27
Q

Recommendations for treatment of diabetic patients in dental office?

A
  • Diabetes mellitus is generally associated with a higher incidence of caries, periodontal diseases and oral infections.
  • The glycaemia of the dental patient must be well controlled.
  • If a diabetic patient treated with insulin or ADs agents is going to skip meals
    after a dental procedure, care should be taken that there is no hypoglycemia.

(ibland så får vi ju inte äta efter vi gjort en operation, alltså viktigt att se till så dom inte får hypoglycemia om de fortsätter med insulinet trots ingen mat)

  • If diabetes is poorly controlled, they should receive antimicrobial prophylaxis.
28
Q

Osteonecrosis of the jaw?

A
  • BNPs = risk factor

Sometime a dental procedure is the onset of ONJ or a dental pathology such as periodontitis due to inflammation

29
Q

Consideration of Bisphosponates?

A

IV administration = much higher risk of ONJ

Oral administration= high risk after 3 years ( take it standing upp and with empty stomach and plain water)

30
Q

Recommendation to patients with IV BNP at the dental office?

A
  • Information to the patient about the oral risks and their duration.
  • Clinical and radiological odontological evaluation before starting treatment.
  • Before starting treatment: elimination of infectious foci, teeth without possibility of treatment, treatment of periodontal disorders, etc.
  • Raise awareness about the importance of proper oral hygiene.

During treatment, perform conservative treatments and avoid oral surgeries.

  • Periodic dental examinations.
  • Avoid oral surgery for at least 10 years after the end of treatment.
31
Q

Recommendations to patients with oral BPN <3 years without other risk factors?

A

The risk of ONJs from invasive treatments is minimal.

  • All necessary exodoncies or surgeries should be performed in the same setting as dental or medical emergencies.
  • In case of invasive treatments, indicate chlorhexidine rinses previously.
  • Dental examinations.
32
Q

Recommendations to patients with oral BPN >3 years without other risk factors?

A
  • Apply conservative treatments whenever possible.
  • If it is necessary to perform a treatment that entails bone exposure, ideally, if the conditions of the patient allow it, discontinue treatment with BPN 3 months earlier
  • In this case, antibacterial prophylaxis and chlorhexidine rinses should be instituted, causing the least possible trauma.
  • Also, regular dental check ups.
  • Measures to prevent tooth decay and periodontal disease.
33
Q

Recommendations anti-platelet patient in dentistry?

A

Most anti-platelet medications require discontinuation in case of major surgery!!!

Aspirin treatment should be discontinued one week before any dental surgery (although in most cases, the patient’s CDV risk does not allow to do so). In any case, adequate control of hemostasis with (coagulant agents)

When doses below 300 mg of aspirin are used, the risk of bleeding in simple extractions is usually reduced

In patients with double antiplatelet therapy (ASA + clopidogrel), the risk of bleeding increases. If patient conditions allow (low CDV risk), it is recommended to discontinue clopidogrel, at least 5 days before the intervention

34
Q

Drugs that decrease anticoagulants

A

Rifampicin
Oral contraceptives
Hypnotics
Griseofulvin

35
Q

Drugs that iecrease anticoagulants

  • Make a careful medical history.
  • Avoid addition of vasoconstrictor to the local anesthetic.
  • Measures to control the stress.
  • Monitor orthostatic hypotension.
