DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLAN IN FIXED 2019. pptx Flashcards
Emergency treatment : Symptomatic treatment :
Includes:
Treatment of emergencies to relief discomfort associated with acute conditions as, 1-Fractured tooth or teeth, 2- Acute pulpitis 3- Acute exacerbation of chronic pulpitis, 4- Dental abscess, 5- Acute pericronitis or gingivitis and 6- Facial pain.
Phase I: Stabilization Phase
The treatment involves stabilizing conditions such as
dental caries or periodontal disease by removing the
etiologic factors, increasing the patient’s resistance.
1- Scaling and root planning
The proper removal of plaque is possible only if the teeth
are smooth and their contours allow unimpeded access to
the gingival sulcus.
-Proper oral hygiene instruction
2- - Chronic periodontitis with continuing irreversible
bone loss should be treated as early as possible by
effective daily plaque control
3-Replacement of defective restorations.
4- Corrections of defective or over hanging restorations,
open inter proximal contacts.
5- Removal of carious lesions, (excavations of caries and
placement of temporary restoration)
with combination of dietary advice, oral hygiene measures,
and fluoride treatment.
6- Extraction of hopeless teeth grade 3 mobility severe
bone loss with resistant abscess
Teeth with a hope- less prognosis, and residual roots and root tips should be
removed early.
cast restorations are avoided in
a patient with active
caries, because the results of such extensive treatment would
be jeopardized by recurrence of the disease.
Phase II: Preparatory phase
includes:
Oral surgery
Periodontal surgery
Endodontic treatment
Orthodontic treatment
Oral surgery
The treatment plan should allow time for healing and ridge
remodeling. should be undertaken during the early phase of
treatment.
Unerupted , impacted teeth, and residual roots and root tips should be removed..
Periodontal surgery Any surgery, pocket elimination, mucogingival procedure,
guided tissue regeneration, or root resection is performed
at this time
Phase 2: Preparatory phase
Elective endodontics may be needed to provide
1-Adequate space for a cast restoration or to
2- Provide retention for a badly damaged or worn tooth.
3- Tooth with doubtful pulpal health is to be
used as an abutment for an FPD.
Occlusal adjustment
Occlusal adjustments are often necessary before the initiation of
fixed prosthodontics. When extensive fixed prosthodontics is to be
provided, an accurate and well-tolerated occlusal relationship may
be obtainable only if a discrepancy between maximal
intercuspation and centric relation is eliminated first , any supraeruption
or drifting should be corrected rather than be allowed to
compromise the patient’s occlusal scheme.
The consequences may be
1- Suprerupion of the opposing tooth or teeth,
2- Tilting of the adjacent teeth, and
3- Loss of proximal contact
4- Disturbances in the health of the supporting structures and the
occlusion
If both anterior and posterior teeth are to be restored, the
anterior teeth are usually restored first because
they
influence the border movements of the mandible and thus
the shape of the occlusal surfaces of the posterior teeth
Restoring all four posterior segments at the same time
might lead to considerably more complications for the
patient and dentist, including
1-Fracture or breaking of interim restorations,
2-Discomfort with bilateral local anesthesia, and
3-Difficulties in confirming the accuracy of jaw relationship
recordings.
Unless bone support has been weakened by
advanced periodontal disease, a single missing
tooth can almost always be replaced by
a threeunit
FDP that includes one mesial and one distal
abutment tooth.
An abutment should be
1- A vital tooth.
2- The tooth must have some sound, surviving coronal tooth structure to
insure longevity.
Coronal tooth structure that has been lost. This can be corrected by the
use of a dowel core, or a pin-retained amalgam or composite resin core.
3-Teeth that have been pulp capped in the process of preparing should
not be used as FPD abutments unless they are endodontically treated.
4-The supporting tissues surrounding the abutment teeth must be healthy
and free from inflammation.
Normally, abutment teeth should not exhibit mobility, since they will be
carrying an extra load.
Occlusal loads that surpass the PDL’s physiologic threshold cause
injuries to the PDL tissue. As a consequence the mobility of the
tooth increases.
Potentially damaging lateral forces can be confined to
the anterior
teeth where they are reduced by the longer lever arm.
