Q

what is the progression of osteomyelitis

A

begins in medullary cavity in cancellous bone and spreads to cortical bone and then periosteum
soft tissue inflammation
increased tissue hydrostatic pressure
compromised blood supply so soft tissue necrosis

Q

in osteomyelitis, why would there be an increase in radiodensity surrounding the radiolucent area

A

18
Q

what is the surgical treatment for osteomyelitis

A

drain pus
remove non-vital teeth in area
remove loose pieces of bone
remove any wires/plates
remove bony cortex
excise necrotic bone

19
Q

who do you refer osteomyelitis people to

A

local OS or OMFS

20
Q

who is ORN seen in

A

patients who have received radiotherapy of head and neck to treat cancer

21
Q

what happens to the bone with ORN

A

bone becomes non-vital and causes endarteritis
turnover of remaining bone is slow
gets worse with time and dose

22
Q

what jaw is more commonly affected for ORN

A

mandible

23
Q

how do you prevent ORN

A

scaling/chlorhexidine before extraction
careful extraction technique
antibiotics, chlorhexidine and review
hyperbaric oxygen before and after extraction
take advice/refer patient for extraction

24
Q

what does hyperbaric oxygen do

A

increase local tissue oxygenation and vascular ingrowth to hypoxic areas

25
Q

how do you treat ORN

A

irrigation of necrotic debris
loose sequestra removed
hyperbaric oxygen

26
Q

what do bisphosphonates do

A

inhibit osteoclast activity and bone resorption and therefore bone renewal

27
Q

what is the ending of bisphosphonate drugs to class them all together

A

dronate

28
Q

what are the 2 ways to give bisphosphonates

A

oral and IV

29
Q

apart from bisphosphonates, what other drugs cause MRONJ

A

antiresorptive
RANKL inhibitors
monoclonal antibodies

30
Q

when does MRONJ occur

A

post extraction/following denture trauma/spontaneous

31
Q

when is MRONJ risk higher

A

in patients with IV bisphosphonates

32
Q

what drugs are cancer patients treated with

A

anti-resorptive
anti-angiogenic

33
Q

what drugs are osteoporosis patients treated with

A

anti-resorptive

34
Q

what are the risk factors for MRONJ

A

dental treatment
duration of bisphosphonate drug therapy
dental implants
concurrent medication
previous drug history
drug holidays

35
Q

how do you manage symptoms of MRONJ

A

remove sharp edges of bone/chlorhexidine mouthwash
prevent invasive treatment

36
Q

what are the 2 groups of patients that are grouped in MRONJ

A

initial management
continuing management

37
Q

what is actinomycosis

A

rare bacterial infection

38
Q

what does actinomycosis present like

A

multiple skin sinuses and swelling
thick lumpy pus

39
Q

what is treatment for actinomycosis

A

incision and drainage of pus accumulation
excision of chronic sinus tracts
excision of necrotic bone and foreign bodies
high dose antibiotics
long term antibiotics to prevent recurrence

40
Q

what antibiotics are used for actinomycosis

A

penicillin
doxycycline
clindamycin

41
Q

what patients are specifically at risk for infective endocarditis

A

problems affecting structure of heart (replacement valve)
previous IE

42
Q

name some invasive dental procedures

A

placement of matrix band
anything which manipulates gingival mucosa
sub gingival restorations
full perio exams
PMPR

43
Q

name some non-invasive dental procedures

A

BPE
supra gingival scaling/restorations
radiographs
removal of sutures

44
Q

what antibiotics can you prescribe for IE prophylaxis

A

amoxicillin - 3g
azithromycin - 500mg
clindamycin - 600mg
