Final Exam Study Guide Flashcards
OMS training is vastly different from the rest of most of the dental specialty training programs and dental school education. What are the significant differences compared to general dentist education? (3)
- Extensive hospital, medical, and surgical trainings
- 100% of U.S accredited OMS training programs incorporate advanced general anesthesia training for maximum patient comfort and safety in office setting
- Bridge the gap between dentistry and medicine
List some of the various examples of OMS treatments:
- removal of teeth
- exposure of impacted teeth for orthodontic treatment
- re-contour the jaw bones
- preparation of jaws prior to XRT or placement of cardiac or orthopedic prosthetics
- reconstructive surgery
What are some reasons for an OMS to remove teeth?
A) malposed/impacted teeth
B) non salvageable teeth
What are some of the reasons an OMS may perform reconstructive surgery?
A) restoring form and function from aluvsive traumatic events, removal of pathology
& physiologic atrophy
B) restoration of continuity
C) Restoration of alveolar bone height and width
D) Restoration of osseous bulk
Give examples of some events that may cause an OMS to have to perform reconstructive surgery to restore form & function:
I) Avulsive traumatic events
II) Removal of pathology
III) Physiologic atrophy
The very first thing about writing in SOAP format:
CC
When writing a patients note, what type of patient record format is needed and recognizes in the medical profession worldwide?
SOAP Note
What do you need to ask the patient when you first meet them for SOAP note?
CC
Describe ASA I:
Normal healthy patient, no systemic disease
Describe ASA II:
Patient with mild systemic disease which is well controlled (example- well controlled HTN)
Describe ASA III:
Patient with significant systemic disease which limits activity but not incapacitating (example- CHF)
Describe ASA IV:
Patient with an incapacitating systemic disease which is a constant threat to life (example- Unstable angina pectoris)
Describe ASA V:
Moribund patient not expected to survive more than 24 hours (example- end stage kidney disease)
Normal healthy patient, no systemic disease
ASA I
Patient with mild systemic disease which is well controlled
ASA II
Patient with significant systemic disease which limits activity but not incapacitating
ASA III
Patient with an incapacitating systemic disease which is a constant threat to life
ASA IV
Moribund patient not expected to survive more than 24 hours
ASA V
Given the following situation, give ASA Classification:
Healthy 17 year old boy, no known medical history:
ASA I
Given the following situation, give ASA Classification:
43 year old female with well controlled HTN:
ASA II
Given the following situation, give ASA Classification:
54 year old male with CHF
ASA III
Given the following situation, give ASA Classification:
55 year old male with unstable angina pectoris
ASA IV
Given the following situation, give ASA Classification:
34 year old drug addict on hospice for end stage kidney failure
ASA V
What are the ways to reduce patient fear and anxiety?
- Hand holding (non-phamacological method)
- N2O/ O2
- Oral medications/ oral pre meds
- Intravenous medications
- General anesthesia
- Combinations of the above
How do you correctly write the medical consultation? What components need to be IN the consult? What are the STEPS?
STEP 1: Write an abbreviated soap note
STEP 2: Brief anticipated procedure
STEP 3: Ask the focused question and what you want to know
STEP 4: Print and fax
Whats the potential oral surgical patient logistic flow chart for UMKC dental school system?
(In other words, once a patient has been screened in DXR, what are the next few potential steps?)
Indication for tooth removal –> assessment of factors –> decision to treat or refer
Whats the potential oral surgical patient logistic flow chart for UMKC dental school system?
(In other words, once a patient has been screened in DXR, what are the next few potential steps?)
If you decide to REFER:
Refer to specialist –> follow up to manage potential complications

If you decide to TREAT YOUR SELF:
Treat yourself –> with or without flap –> follow up to manage potential complications
In pre-surgical evaluation, how do you assess tooth mobility? How would you document this?
Assessment:
4: No mobility (high potential for ankylosis)
3: No mobility but ankyloses not a problem
2: Normal tooth mobility
1: Greater than normal mobility
documented through miller classification
Tooth mobility that is assessed as Stage 4: No mobility (high potential for ankylosis) includes teeth such as:
primarily molars, endo treated teeth or erupted 3rd molars
What is miller classification used to describe?
Tooth mobility
Describe Miller Classification for tooth mobility:
Class 1: less than 1 mm horizontal
Class 2: greater than 1 mm horizontal
Class 3: greater than 1mm horizontal and vertical mobility
The following describes
Class 1: less than 1 mm horizontal
Class 2: greater than 1 mm horizontal
Class 3: greater than 1mm horizontal and vertical mobility
Miller classification for tooth mobility
What is physiologic tooth mobility?
0.25mm
Miller classification for tooth mobility
Less than 1 mm horizontal:
Class 1
Miller classification for tooth mobility
Greater than 1 mm horizontal
Class 2
Miller classification for tooth mobility
Greater than 1 mm horizontal and vertical mobility
Class 3
Extraction forceps has handle, hinge, and beaks. When dealing with the handle, what are the different ways that a clinician can hold (grasp) on to it?
Horizontal grasp & Vertical grasp
What style of forceps are used when an operator is using a horizontal grasp?
American style forceps
“America is on the HORIZON”
Describe horizontal grasp with extraction forceps:
- American style forceps
- Handles are horizontal to the floor
