Pre-Transplant Evaluation

A
  • History and physical
  • Blood workup
    – CBC, blood type, HCG, HLA
  • Restaging studies
    – Bone marrow aspirate, cytogenics, LP, CT/MRI, PET scan
  • Infectious disease testing
    – CMV, Hep A/B, EBV, HIV, HSV, VZV, toxoplasmosis
  • PPD, chest x-ray, EKG
  • Dental screening

Pre-Transplant Evaluation:
Dental Screening Goals
* Remove
* Dentition to be stable for at least
* Patient education about
* If planned correctly, pre-transplant evaluation + patient
compliance=

A

active foci of infection and limit potential foci of infection
12 months
home care
dental maintenance

112
Q

Dentition to be stable for at least 12 months
(2)

A

– Urgent care only for 12 months post transplant
– Risk of salivary GVHD and hyposalivation
caries

113
Q

Dental Screening Pre-HSCT
(2)

A
  • Comprehensive hard and soft tissue exam
  • Full mouth series of radiographs
114
Q

Dental Screening Pre-HSCT
Treatment
(5)

A

– Scaling and prophylaxis
– Removal of caries
– Extraction of all hopeless teeth
& 3rd molars with hx periocoronitis
* Including teeth with questionable or poor prognosis
– Caries risk assessment and need for adjuncts (fluoride)
– Dental management based on primary disease

115
Q

– Removal of caries
(3)

A
  • Restorations
  • Endodontic therapy
  • Extractions
116
Q

Graft Types
* Autologous:
– Pros:
– Cons:
– Indications include:

A

– Receive own bone marrow or PBSC, “stem cell rescue”
no HLA matching, no GVHD, immune suppression
contamination of cells, no graft vs tumor, higher risk of relapse
lymphoma, multiple myeloma

117
Q

Graft Types
* Allogeneic:
– Pros:
– Cons:
– Indications include:

A

– Donor: relative, unrelated
– Pros: graft free from tumor, graft versus tumor, lower risk of relapse
– Cons: matching, GVHD, higher risk of complication
– Indications include: leukemia, MDS, aplastic anemia, high grade lymphoma

118
Q

Graft Types
* Syngenic
(1)

A

– Receive bone marrow or PBSC from identical twin

Hematopoietic Cell Transplant
* Dental Management After Transplant
– Thorough medical history

A
  • Original diagnosis, date of transplant, immune suppression, GVHD
127
Q

Hematopoietic Cell Transplant
– Thorough clinical exam

A
  • Hyposalivation, caries, infection, GVHD, oral cancer
128
Q

Hematopoietic Cell Transplant
– Discussion with oncologist
(2)

A
  • Current status and goals (comprehensive vs. palliative)
  • Dental office vs hospital
129
Q

Hematopoietic Cell Transplant
– Labs
* CBC-
* ANC-

A

may require platelet transfusion due to thrombocytopenia
may require antibiotic prophylaxis for neutropenia

130
Q

Hematopoietic Cell Transplant
– Medications
(3)

A
  • Immune suppression (dose and length of tx)
  • Bactrim-myelosuppression
  • Avoid medications that are cytochrome P450 inhibitors for patients on immunosuppressants with low therapeutic index (ex. tacrolimus and fluconazole)
