FINAL EXAM Flashcards
what is the pH of commercial lidocaine?
3.9
why is the pH of amide local anesthetic acidic compared to the tissue pH?
this enhances the solubility of the anesthetic salts to prolong the shelf life
what are the two forms of the anesthetic salt?
- the uncharged, de-ionized or ACTIVE free base form- lipid soluble
- the charged or ionized cationic form which is not lipid soluble.
what form of the anesthetic salt is important in penetrating into the nerve membrane?
the DEIONIZED form-because its lipid soluble and can more readily penetrate the nerve membrane to enter nerve axon.
how much lidocaine does a 1.7 ml carpule of 2% lidocaine 1:100K epi have and how much epi?
34 mg lid and .017 mg epi
if you have 3% lido how many mg?
3%=30 mg/ml * 1.7 ml/carpule = 51 mg. easy
what is the max dose of EPI you should memorize???
4.4 mg/kg
(although you should still take into account rate of absorption, patient health status, tissue conditions, age considerations, etc.)
where is the mandibular foramen in a child relative to an adult?
in a child, it is slightly below the plane of occlusion
if the patient has an infection, what can you do to
give preoperative ibuprofen, 1 hour before the local anesthesia injection.
what is the risk of anesthesia and opioids?
higher risk of epi toxicity
describe symptoms of anesthesia overdose?
- CNS excitation
- CNS depression
- CVS excitation
- Cardiac arrest
this occurs when iron in hemoglobin is changed from its ferrous to its ferric form
methemoglobinemia.
CANNOT ACCEPT oxygen to carry to tissues
methemoglobin concentration greater than ___ of total hemoglobin can cause cyanosis
10-15%
what is it in the local anesthetic that can cause methemoglobinemia?
the nitrates and aniline derivitaves which are part of all local anesthetics
what its the major cause of deaths due to local anesthetic administration?
overdose
what is the purpose of sodium bisulfite?
added with vasoconstrictors to increase the shelf life.
so if patient has allergies/sensitivites, should NOT recieve anesthetic with a vasoconstrictor
what part of the topical anesthetic may cause an allergic reaction?
PABA- the metabolite that’s used
where are amides metabolized? except which one?
in the liver!
PRIOLCAINE is expcetion- it’s in the kidney and plasma
What if your patient has atypical pseudocholinesterase…what should you be aware of?
esters! topical anesthetic
what is the purpose of the buffer?
increases the pH and produces more DEIONIZED fom of anesthetic to cross the lipid barrier.
Sodium bicarbonate is used as the buffer
*patients physiology is generally the buffer???**
canines emerge when __ of the root if formed.
3/4
premolars emerge when __ - ___ of the root if formed?
1/2-3/4
for each mm of alveolar bone overlying a succedaneous tooth, approx ___ months of eruption should be anticipated
6 months
most space loss occurs within the first __ - __ months?
4-6 months
what are the indications for band and loop space maintainer?
loss of ONE primary MOLAR
what is the disadvantage of band and loop?
the opposing tooth may super erupt
what is the advantage of denovo band and loop?
it’s better for reduced space?
advantage of an upper holding arch?
NO acrylic button
disadvantages of an upper palatal holding arch?
may interfere with occlusion
what is a groper appliance?
can replace missing incisors – good for a pedi partial if patient doesn’t want to be completely edentulous!
what are the indications for a distal shoe?
loss of Es prior to the eruption of maxillary and mandibular MI or ectopic eruption of M1
what are the contraindications for the distal shoe?
- immuocompromised patients
- require SBE prophylaxis
- have diseases that affect healing in general
- cannot cooperate
advantage of the distal shoe?
maintains the 2nd primary molar space
disadvantages of the distal shoe?
difficult to make, and poor oral hygiene may cause infection
what do you use if you are missing two maxillary molars?
nance
TPA
Band and loop
This device prevents the rotation of M1?
nance
if A and J are missing, can you use NANCE?
no, because M1 will tip mesially
describe what primary teeth roots look like?
ribbon like- thin and divergent
does the absence of pain indicate the absence of pulp pathology?
no!
is percussion and palpation reliable in primary teeth?
no, or traumatized and immature permanent teeth. difficult to diagnose
can you use electric pulp testing in primary teeth?
hail no
or traumatized and immature permanent = no, nos
what does pulp calcification reflect?
acute and rapid response to pulp irritation
where do anterior teeth feature resorption initially?
on the root’s lingual surface! so it’s difficult to tell the apical foramen vs. the anatomic apex
primary teeth with yellow discoloration often have what associated?
radiographic pulp canal calcification but low incidence pulp necrosis
injured primary teeth with gray discoloration have necrotic pulps in what percentage of cases?
50-80% of cases
