route of CNV2 (maxillary)
Leaves Base of Skull at foramen rotundum. tracks down towards the pterygopalatine fossa * giving off the pharyngeal branch on its way. gives off 3 branches around the pterygopalatine ganglion * nasopalatine and nasal branches before continuing its course towards the infra orbital fissure * giving off greater and lesser palatine nerves, zygomatic nerve and posterior superior alveolar nerve en route. At the inferior orbital fissure, the maxillary nerve becomes the infraorbital nerve. * It gives off middle and anterior superior alveolar nerves before exiting the infraorbital foramen terminating as palpebral, nasal and labial branches.
84
CNV3 (mandibular) route
leaves Base of Skull at foramen ovale. Travels down, giving off the branch to the medial pterygoid and the auticulotemporal branch, * before dividing into an anterior and posterior branch. The anterior branch supplies the remaining muscles of mastication (masseter, deep temporal branches and lateral pterygoid), before terminating as the buccal branches. The posterior branch divides into the lingual nerve (giving off the chordates tympani) and the inferior alveolar nerve, * which also gives off the nerve to mylohyoid before terminating as the mental nerve
85
stroke neuroanatomy
Occurs due to an interruption in the blood supply/rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. * Causes loss of blood supply (ischaemia/pressure compresses BVs from haematoma) to certain areas of the brain. An interruption in the supra-nuclear fibres from the motor areas of the cerebral cortex causes the opposite 2/3 of the face to begin to 'droop' due to loss of motor function. * affects opposite side of face to hemisphere affect. Also can't raise arms. Only lower 2/3 of face affected (only receives crossed fibres from opposite hemisphere), as upper 1/3 of face receives both crossed and uncrossed fibres (from both hemispheres) * upper saves upper
86
facial palsy
due to injection of LA from IDB into parotid gland (to far back, no contact with bone). LA trapped within the dense tissue, within the capsule of parotid gland, near to where CVII branches/divides and so affects all branches of CNVII * affects entire side of face - same side of affected parotid gland
87

163
occlusal trauma effects on healthy periodontium
areas of intermittent pressure and tension areas widened PDL hypermobility in abscence of plaque, ginival margin remains intact (no perio disease)
164
occlusal trauma response of healthy periodontium
PDL width increases until forces adequately dissipateed (inc mobility) PDL width stablises and returns to normal if demand/forces reduced if forces cannot be adequately dissipated/forces increase, PDL continues to widen until tooth lost (pathological failure of adaptation)
165
occlusal trauam effecs on healthy periodontium but reduced
previous loss of attachement and bone resorption tooth effectively on fulcrum - inc effect of same level force
166
occlusal trauma effects on disease periodontium
zone of co-destruction (physiological and pathological) occlusal forces cause PDL widening at base of pocket, and may cause clinical attachment loss (pathological) or excessive bone loss (combined - pressure causes resorption as does pathology)
167
causes of mobility
PDL width PDL height presence of inflammation shape/number/lenght of roots
168
mobility is unacceptable when
progressively increasing symptomatic associated with deep pockets
169
how to Tx or reduce mobility
Treat perio disease/inflammation Correct occlusal relations (selective grinding) Splinting * Last resort * Used to stabilise teeth for debridement/if discomfort/chewing difficulties * May lead to OH difficulties and does not influence rate of disease (does not slow/stop/treat perio)
170
causes of migration
unfavourable occlusal forces unfavourable soft tissue profiles
171
tx of migration
accept and stablise correct occlusal relations orthodontics tx perio disease
172

178
depends on
maintenancy of antimicrobial activity slow neutralisation of antimicrobial activtiy
179
chlorhexidine is
antiseptic bibiguanide Dicationic action - one cation binds to pellicle-coated tooth, other cation sticks to negatively-charged bacterial membrane. In low concentration, causes increased permeability.

186
clincal attachment loss/gain post perio tx and why
gingival recession and gain in attachment through long junctional epithelium
187
pulp communications
apical forament lateral and furcal canals fractures perforations
188
primary endo lesion progresses to involve perio
pulp infection travels down root canal to PA area periapical pathology/abscess - progresses corronally to gingival/alveolar bone margin localised perio disease, non vital tooth
189
primary perio lesions progresses to involve endo
pocket forms progresses apically to accessory canal/apical foramen bacterial ingress into canal - pulp inflammation greneralised perio disease, tooth often not/minimally restored
190
true combine lesion (perio and endo)
zone of co-destruction endo disease proliferates coronallay and perio disease proliferates apically and they combine into one lesion non-vital tooth, periodontal and alvelar bone loss
191
perio-endo prognosis
generally poor, worse if true combine mainly dependent on severity of perio disease and response of perio disease to tx
192
tx for peri-endo lesions
primary RCT secondary NSPT - if unresolved perio surgery

449

* layer in pt containing structures of interest, demonstrated with sufficient resolution to be recognisable Factors * distance from rotation centre, x-ray beam width
450
OPT stretched/magnified horizontally
canines behind vertical canine line (too close to x-ray source) and not corrected
451
ghost image features
interfere with dx * reflected onto opposing side of image * always horizontally magnified * higher
452
x ray production
* X-rays are produced by the rapid deceleration of electrons. * Electrons fired at atoms at high speed and collide (lower electron speeds), releasing kinetic energy, which is converted into EM radiation (x-rays) and heat. * X-ray photon is the aimed at subject
453
tube head
* Filament - provides current for x-ray production * Target - focal spot * Lead – shielding * Aluminium – filtration * Rectangular collimator - reduce scatter, reduce area irradiated * Spacer cone - controls target fsd
454
attenutaion and appearance
* No attenuation - black - pass through unaltered * Partial - grey - absorbed and scattered (partially absorbed) * Complete - white - complete absorption, electron energy lost in tissues
455
photoelectric effect
* Low energy phenomenon. * Photon interacts with inner shell electron and so the photon energy is just greater than the electron binding energy. * Photon energy used to eject electron. * Atom rearranges, releasing energy as characteristic spectrum radiation. * Outer void filled by colliding photon (as it has delivered its total energy to a single electron and is completely absorbed)
456
effect of dose on image quality for photoelectric effect
inc in dose and inc in image quality
457
compton scatter
* Mid energy phenomenon. * Photon interacts with loosely bound electron and so the photon energy is much greater than the electron binding energy. * Photon collides with electron, ejecting it. * Atom rearranges, releasing energy as continuous spectrum radiation. * Outer void filled by free electron capture. * During collision, the photon loses some of its energy (decelerated) and is deflected/ scattered (recoil electron), free to interact with other atoms. Effect * Photons scattered backwards after the image receptor may reach the image receptor and contribute to darker image

process of extrinsic discolouration and bleaching
Discolouration caused by formation of chemically stable chromogenic products on tooth surfaces. Bleaching causes oxidation through H2O2.
