Q

How does smoking increases the risk of periodontitis and by how much on average does it increase the instance of periodontitis according to latest studies?

A

The mechanisms:
1. Chronic reduction in blood flow and vascularity
2. Increase the prevelance of potential periodontal pathogens in the sulcus
3. Shift in neutrophil function towards destructive activities
4. Shift to a dysbiotic, pathogen enriched microbiome
5. Affects PMNs making them more aggrevated
6. Increase the number of aggravated T cells that produce inflammatory cytokines

It increases the risk of periodontitis by 85%!

Smoking cessation has beneficial effect on therapy outcomes and disease progression - this should be attempted for patient with nicotine dependence/

Q

What are the steps to performing bisected angle?

A
  1. Informed consent
  2. Sit the patient up right or on a slight angle - situated the tube next to the patients side where the taking of the x-ray will take place - check the settings on the x-ray machine
  3. Grab a standart size film
  4. Situated the film dot to slot - black to beam
  5. Situated the film parallel to the palatal/lingual surface of tooth being imaged
  6. Ask your patient to gently hold the film with their thumb - make sure the patient does not bend the film
  7. Horizontal beam angulation - align the beam at the right angle to the tooth of interest - similarly to a bitewing - unless 14
  8. Vertical beam angulation - assess the angulation of long axis of the tooth and angulation of detector - mentally bisect the angle created between the tooth & detector

Q

What is the definition of the myofacial pain?

A

Pain in the facial area (region
below orbitomeatal line,
above the neck and anterior
to the ears) that originates
from oral muscular structures.
However, the high density of
muscular structures within the
craniofacial region can lead to
pain radiating to other areas

Q

What is the definition about TMJ Hypertranslation?

A

It is the excessive movement of condylar head anteriorly towards articular eminence during opening of mouth.

During opening of mouth, condyles are rotated around a horizontal axis. Anterior translation then occurs, in which the condyles and meniscus move downwards and forwards to the articular eminence.

When translation overshoot the insertion of the TMJ capsule on the temproal bone, hypertranslation occurs.

Q

What is the definition of TMJ inflammation?

A

TMJ inflammation is a type of tempromandibular joint dysfunction which can present as pain in the tempromandibular joint during palpation or function such as chewing.

The aetiology is mostly of osteoarthitis origins is a progressive cartilage degeneration due to increased joint overload and inflammation causing subchondral bone, articular and sub-articular surface remodeling and reabsorption with chronic inflammation of the synovial tissue.

Q

What is the definition of TMJ internal derangement?

A

It is the condition where there is an abnomal relationship between the articular disc and the condylar head of the TMJ. Displacement of the articular disc results in loss of structure and function of intra-articular tissue resulting in the biomechanics of the TMJ.

The most common displacements or the articular discs are:
- Disc displacement with reduction resulting in a click
- Disc displacement without reduction result in plocked jaw

Aitiologically - usually caused by joint overload, leading to an inflammatory/degenerative arthropathy of TMJ.

Q

What is the pathway of the jaw closing reflex?

A
  1. Muscle spindles within the muscle of mastication detect stretch
  2. Through the first order neuron, which passes through the foramen ovale, trigeminal ganglion into the trigeminal tract nucleus
  3. Synapses occurs and through the interneuron, the action potential is propagated to wht trigeminal motor nucleus
  4. Synapses occurs in the trigeminal motor nucleus to the muscle of mastication (for example the masseter) in order to generate an appropriate response and maintaining the mandible in anappropriate position during running fo rexample

Q

What is the purpose of the jaw opening reflex?

A

The purpose of the jaw opening reflex is to inhibit the jaw-closing muscles due to painful oral and perioroal stimuli.

In humans, the jaw opening reflex is essentially inhibition of jaw-closing muscle with little evidence for excitation of jaw opening muscles

Q

What is the main theory of mastication?

A

It is the peripheral input + Cortical input + Central Pattern Generator theory.

It is believed that the cortical and the peripheral inputs work with central pattern generator theory for successful masticatory function.

  1. CPG sets the rhythm for mastication
  2. Receptors in and around the mouth alter the: strength, duration, rate of force developmetnet - this ensures that the chewing strokes weaker and faster for soft food compared to hard food
  3. Any painful stimulus or conscious decision can interrupt the acivity of the CPG
  4. Change in synaptic potentials of receptors of teeth, gingiva, lips or jaws confirms modulation of synaptic input during chewing
  5. Total lack of peripheral feedback generates inefficient and dangerous masticatory strokes - think about LA

Q

How does GC Tooth Mousse help with dentinal hypersensativity?

A

Fluoride usually reacts with calcium in the saliva to form CaF2 which sits on the surface of the tooth and releases fluoride ions as it dissolves over time “slow release device”.

Can occlude dentinal tubules.

Q

How does MI varnish help with dentinal hypersensativity?

A
  1. MI Varnish contains NaF and CPP-ACP dispersed in rosin and ethanol solution
  2. When applied, it adheres to the tooth surface and seals exposed dentine tubules
  3. Contact with saliva sets the varnish and starts the slow dissolution process, driving the release of fluoride and CPP-ACP
  4. Fluoride ions that are released bind with calcium ions in pellicle and plaque to form globules of calcium fluoride.
  5. These globules deposit on the tooth surface, providing additional blockage of exposed dentine tubules, enhanced acid resistance and promote calcium and phosphate enriched saliva

55
Q

Explaing the IMPEDE model

A

Statge 0 - health but overgrowth of G+ve bacteria in susceptible host individuals may cause gingival inflammation leading to Stage I

Stage I - inflammation - gingival inflammation when prologned may cause alters in subgingival microenvironment, causing Stage II

Stage II - polymicrobial emergence - now if the host is not susceptible, the immune system contains the polymicrobial emergence thus the patient goes between Stage I and II depending on different local and systemic factors - if they are suseptible, further deragulation of inflammation may occur causing Stage III

Stage III - Inflammation-mediated dysbiosis - host immune and inflammatory reactions together with genetic pedisposition and environmental influences unable to contain infection and dysbiosis in tissues regulation occurs (early periodontitis) - if the conditions are not improve this leads to stage IV

Stage IV - early periodontitis
