Important Info 2.1 Flashcards
About 7 diagnostic questions…not difficult look at the pulpal and periapical dx charts and memorize them
They were generally all like the next flash card and just look at percussion, temp, and if there is swelling/pain/ etc. there was one that was normal for both I think.
—two of them involved swelling and pain with different EPT and cold/heat values but I put acute apical abscess/necrotic pulp for both of the answers.
(on the final but probs still need to know)
Pt comes in and says swelling and pain overnight. #30, 29, 28 tested for pulpal (say 30 had a radiolucency around it and it did say if there was one present or not) did not respond to EPT, cold, heat and the other two teeth were normal. Patient had swelling of the buccal vestibule what do you think the periapical/pulpal diagnosis is?
–options:
- normal pulp//normal periapical
- acute apical abscess/necrotic pulp
- asymptomatic apical periodontist/necrotic pulp
- symptomatic apical periodontitis/necrotic pulp
no answer was given on the file
asymptomatic apical periodontist/necrotic pulp???
swelling & pain makes me think its AAA/necrotic pulp- haley
