Q

Why would you graft the alveolus?

A

Achieves stability of the arch, preventing collapse of alveolar segments, improves health of dentition, allowing for eruption of canine and lateral incisors, provides for continuity of the piriform rim (supports the ala of the nose), repairs residual oronasal fistula, improving hygiene and speech.

Q

When would you do primary grafting?

A

Less than 2 years of age. The outcome is poor if it is at the time of lip repair due to abnormal MX development. You can also do it prior to palate repair but after lip repair. It provides reasonable results, but requires very specific protocol.

Q

When is secondary grafting?

A

After 2 years of age. Early secondary (2-5 yr) is not supported by literature. Mixed dentition secondary is between ages 6-12 and can be considered early and late (6-8 and 9-12). Late secondary is after the age of 12. Ages 6-10 is the most common.

Q

When is the ideal timing for mixed dentition grafting?

A

After the eruption of the central incisors and before the eruption of the canine. Less effect on facial growth as there is minimal maxillary growth after the age of 6-7. Generally better cooperation with perioperative and orthodontic care is acceptable. Donor sites have adequate bone for autogenous grafting, eruption of tooth may improve bone volume, enhances health of teeth in area of grafting.

Q

What is the Ideal Patient for grafting?

A

Q

Factors affecting timing of grafting.

A

The presence and position of the lateral incisor is important. Degree of rotation or angulation of central incisor as the positioning is a result of the underlying bone and you may need grafting prior to ortho movement. Trauma and mobility of premax segment, social issues, pt. and cleft size, occlusion, need for adjunctive procedures, team dynamics.

Q

Pre-surgical expansion

A

Controversial, but most authors support it. It is easier prior to grafting due to mobility of segments. There is improved access to the nasal floor and it eliminates traumatic occlusion. Improves post op hygiene.

Q

How do you manage a complicated crown fracture?

A

If tooth is immature, attempt to save pulp. Mature teeth will most likely need RCT.

59
Q

What does the prognosis of a complicated crown fracture depend upon?

A

Length of time since injury occurred (less than 2 hours if pulp is vital), size of pulp exposure (small pinpoint exposure), condition of pulp and stage of root development.

60
Q

If there is an open apex and it has been less than 24 hours since the injury what do you do?

A

Pulp cap with calcium hydroxide!

61
Q

If there is an open apex and a larger exposure that occurred more than 24 hours ago, what do you do?

A

Calcium hydroxide pulpotomies.

62
Q

Calcium hydroxide pulpotomies

A

Allows for apex formation, usually requires root canal therapy.

63
Q

If there is a closed apex and less than 24 hours since a small injury….

A

you do a pulp cap.

64
Q

If there is a closed apex and a larger injury or it is more than 24 hours old….

A

RCT is needed.

65
Q

How do you manage a crown-root fracture?

A

If it is more than 1/3 of the clinical root, extraction is recommended. If it is to or slightly below the cervical margin it can be restored, possibly using crown lengthening.

66
Q

Where do most root fractures occur?

A

In apical or middle third, not always horizontal.

67
Q

Can you visualize root fractures radiographically?

A

Not always. It may not show immediately. Later radiographs (1-2 weeks) may show separation due to inflammation, hemorrhage or resorption.

68
Q

How do you treat a root fracture?

A

Apical or middle 1/3 are not splinted unless there is mobility. With mobility, you splint them for 2 weeks. The fracture is bridged with calcified tissue, and teeth often remain vital. If its in the cervical 1/3, much more difficult to save, usually requires extraction.

69
Q

Abrasion

A

An abrasion is a wound caused by friction between an object and the surface of the soft tissue. This wound is usually superficial, denudes the epithelium, and occasionally involves deeper layers.

70
Q

Contusion

A

A contusion is more commonly called a bruise and indicates that some amount of tissue disruption has occurred within the tissues, which resulted in subcutaneous or submucosal hemorrhage without a break in the soft tissue surface.

71
Q

Laceration

A

A laceration is a tear in the epithelial and subepithelial tissues.

72
Q

Which periodontal injury has the worst prognosis?

A

Intrusion

73
Q

What is the treatment for intrusion?

A

Do nothing. Surgically reposition and splint in place (worst prognosis). Ortho extrusion over 3-4 weeks, then splinted for 2-3 months (needs to happen immediately to prevent ankylosis). If it is a deciduous tooth, extract atraumatically.

74
Q

Management of extrusion

A

Manually reseat it and splint it into place for 1-3 weeks. Will most likely need endo.

75
Q

Management of lateral displacement

A

Usually have a fractured alveolus and gingival lacerations. Minimal can be replaced by splinting for 2-3 weeks.

76
Q

What are the factors affecting success of an avulsed tooth?

A

Length of time out of socket, health of bone and periodontal tissues, preservation before implantation.

77
Q

What has the best prognosis for avulsion for length of time out of socket?

A

More than 2 hours is poor. Less than 30 min is excellent.

78
Q

What should you keep an avulsed tooth in?

A

Balance salt solution for 30 min and doxycycline for 5 min, if it has been out of the mouth for more than 20 min. Hanks Balanced Salt Solution is best, milk is an alright alternative. Rinse with saliva, water or saline and reimplant if possible.

79
Q

When should you initiate RCT?

A

After 2 weeks, especially with closed apices. The inflammatory reaction associated with degenerating pulp can lead to resorption and ankylosis.

80
Q

Greenstick

A

Incomplete fractures with flexible bone. Greenstick fractures generally exhibit minimal mobility when palpated and the fracture is incomplete.

81
Q

Simple

A

Complete transection of the bone with minimal fragmentation at the fracture site.

82
Q

83
Q

Compound

A

Communication of the fractured segments with the external environment. Also called open fractures. Any fracture through a tooth socket is a compound fracture.

84
Q

How are alveolar fractures treated?

A type of midface fracturef

86
Q

Closed Reduction

87
Q

Open Reduction

88
Q

Closed reduction with external fixation

A

May be requred in seerely comminuted fractures, and can be utilized with open reduction.

89
Q

Edentulous MN Fractures

A

Need rigid fixation and possibly bone grafting to aid in healing.

90
Q

Laceration repair

A

Thoroughly clean and inspect wound. Close from inside out, closing oral communications first. Re-approximate important esthetic structures, such as vermillion border and eye brow. Re-approximate like tissues: muscles, dermis, epidermis. Use resorbing sutures in deep tissue (vicryl, monocryl)

91
Q

Why do you place deep sutures?
