Handbook 4-6 Flashcards
What is the length of time of application of APF 1.23% fluoride foam?
There is a benefit of APF foam (1.23 percent fluoride) application twice per year for 4 minutes for caries prevention for 0-6 year olds (no benefit after age 6)
How much fluoride is in a pea size amount? Hint: 3-6 yo
0.25 mg (Note: the recommended professionally applied fluoride treatment for children under the age of six with ECC is sodium fluoride varnish NaFV 22,500 F)
Best way to reduce radiation?
Faster film speeds have contributed most significantly to the reduction in radiation to the patient
Microbial risk markers for ECC?
S. mutans and Lactobacillus
Note: S. sobrinus is also involved in the cariogenic process
A decayed, missing, or filled score of greater than or equal to 4 (age 3), greater than or equal to five (age 4), or greater than or equal to six (age 5) surfaces
S-ECC Age 3-5
BQ: What % of children have calculus?
60% of teenagers have gingival bleeding on probing
10% have calculus
Define ECC
The disease of ECC is the presence of one or more decayed (noncavitated or cavitated), missing (due to caries), or filled tooth surfaces in any primary tooth in a child under the age of 71 months
How much fluoride is in a smear layer or rice size amount? (hint: 0-3 yo)
0.1 mg
Adolescents before eruption of third molars, frequency of bite wings: low risk
q18-36 months
Define severe ECC
Younger than 3: any sign of smooth surface caries
Age 3-5: one + cavitated, missing (due to caries), or filled smooth surfaces in DEFG
Age3-5: a decayed, missing, or filled score of greater than or equal to four (age 3), greater than or equal to give (age 4), or greater than or equal to six (age 5) surfaces
T/F: APF 1.23% foam. The trays should be about 1/3 to 1/2 full for gel and full (level with the edge) for foam. Usually both upper and lower trays are inserted at once to complete the topical fluoride treatment in one 4-minute application
True
S-ECC: Younger than 3
any sign of smooth -surface caries
The recommended professionally applied fluoride treatment for children under the age of six with ECC is sodium fluoride varnish
NaFV 22,500 ppm F
What is the length of time of application of fluoride gels?
4 minutes
one+cavitated, missing (due to caries), or filled smooth surfaces in DEFG
S-ECC Age 3-5
What immunoglobulin is lower in tobacco users?
Lower levels of IgG2
What is the location of minimal exposure to the operator during radiographs?
45 degrees from the primary beam as it exits the patient, at least 2m away from the tube head
T/F: Rectangular collimation also reduces the radiation to the patient by a factor of 4-5
True
BQ: What immunoglobulins are elevated in NUG?
Compared to the gingivitis and healthy groups, the ANUG groups exhibited significantly higher IgG and IgM titers to intermediate-sized spirochetes and higher IgG titers to bacteroides melaninogenicus subsp intermedius (Note: Tobacco users have Lower levels of IgG2)
How often do you take radiographs for a low risk child with primary or transitional dentition, bite wing exposure?
q 12-24 months
BQ: What percent of teenagers have bleeding on probing?
60% of teenagers have bleeding on probing
Adolescents before eruption of third molars, frequency of bite wings: high risk
q6-12 months
