Q

mandibular fracture eval

A

If trauma occurred from one side, examine body of mandible on same side and opposite condyle
If blow straight on , both condyles at risk.

Observe points of impact / jaw movement
Rinse mouth with water if ↓ bleeding
Palpate intra/extra orally (deformity?)
Palpate border of mandible/TMJ for movement or deformity Crepitus?

Q

mandibular fracture treatment

A

MANDIBULAR FRACTURE: TX
Bleeding control,
Prevent swallowing of avulsed teeth
Tx for shock , position of comfort
Allow for drainage of blood , salivation Transport side-lying: blood/ saliva drainage Stabilize/ immobilize:
MOUTHGUARD + “BARTON BANDAGE”
(looks like baby bonnet) tensor wrap around jaw - head without cutting off airway
Ice locally
Hospital: reduction/plates/screws

70
Q

teeth most affect in dental injury and between what ge

A

Most victims between ages of 8 -15 yrs old Teeth most affected: upper incisors

71
Q

how many teeth per quadrant of mouth

A

8

72
Q

teeth in mid-line in

A

2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolar 3 molars

73
Q

what can we see when we smille

A

crowns

74
Q

root are attached to and hidden by

A

Roots are hidden supporting structures
which attach to skull via peridontal ligs

75
Q

what are the 3 layer of the teeth

A

All teeth have 3 layers:
* *
Enamel – hard outer layer caps the tooth
Cementum – coats root surface, attaches
tooth to peridontal lig of socket
Dentin – forms bulk of tooth/walls for pulp

76
Q

what is located in the pulp chamber

A

space in middle contains
nerve, blood for tooth viability

77
Q

crown fracture may involve what

A

enamel only
* enamel and dentin
* enamel, dentin, and pulp
* The more severe the fracture, the greater discomfort, more immediate the need for treatment by a dentist.

78
Q

what is a root fracture

A

Breakage of the root of a tooth
* Surrounding teeth are also likely involved * Trauma usually greater than in crown fx.

79
Q

what is tooth luxation- concussion

A

Breakage of the root of a tooth
* Surrounding teeth are also likely involved * Trauma usually greater than in crown fx.

80
Q

what is a tooth subluxation

A

a mobile but undisplaced tooth, sensitivity
may be some bleeding at gum margins

81
Q

what is tooth luxation

A

displacement of tooth, intrusive, extrusive, labial lingual, or lateral depending on force direction blood supply is fully compromised.

82
Q

what is tooth avulsion

A

tooth is “out of socket”

83
Q

what is a alveolar fracture

A

Fracture of the supporting bony ridge of the teeth, called the alveolus

84
Q

if an athlete have mobility for a group of teeth what could he have

A

The affected area will show mobility for a group of teeth

85
Q

dental injuries examination

A

Work top-to-bottom , inside out
* Look for fluid, note its colour
* Look for lacerations,contusions,abrasions * Wound under chin…jaw fracture?
* Some injuries apparent, others hidden
* Do not assume absence of other injuries

86
Q

dental injury verification

A
  • Mobility of teeth in affected area by gently
    trying to move them with gloved hand instrument best-to pick up subtle movement
    En bloc movement is sign of alveolar fx
87
Q

what is the finger pressure test

A

mild pressure inward then outward on teeth

88
Q

difference between concussion dental injury and subluxation

A

concussion -> no looseness
subluxation -> loose but not displaced

89
Q

A tooth chipped to dentin layer will show

A

colour change from whitish enamel to the more yellow dentin. Sensitive to hot/cold

90
Q

crown fracture management

A

If pulp (nerve) involved, see small bleeding from tooth itself. Need to cover fx part ASAP
* Need urgent dental tx to prevent infection and prevent need for root canal
* Locate missing pieces of teeth. Out of mouth, in soft tissue,swallowed, inhaled (pneumonitis!)

91
Q

tooth displacement management

A

Whether root fx, crown root fx, tooth
luxation,or alveolar fx:
PUT AFFECTED TEETH BACK INTO AS
NORMAL A POSITION AS POSSIBLE
Hold them in place: custom or stock mouthguard, or cotton rolls.
Immediate dental consult for wire splint

92
Q

with tooth avulsion, tooth need to be place in socket within

A

3 min

93
Q

tooth avulsion management

A

Rinse debris off tooth, DON’T scrub tooth * Handle tooth by the crown, NOT the root * Clean a blood clot out of socket with
LIGHT GENTLE irrigation

94
Q

if tooth can’t be re-implanted immediately what need to be done

A

STORE tooth in appropriate medium
HBBS, Egg White,Coconut Water,Milk, * Don’t let tooth dry out
* Don’t re-implant a baby tooth

95
Q

do you re-implant a baby tooth

A

no

96
Q

storage medium time

A

dry <30min
tap water 30-60min
vestibule of mouth 90-120 min
physiologic saline 90-120min
cold milk 3h
coconut water better than milk
egg with +++
viaspan >24h
