Q

What are the three types of CHD? And name the diseases for each category.

A

Cyanotic: occurs due to deoxygenated blood bypassing the lungs and entering the systemic circulation eg tetralogy of fallot, transposition of great vessels and eisenmengers syndrome

Acyanotic:shunting (flowing) of blood occurs from the left side of the heart to the right side of the heart due to a structural defect (hole) in the
interventricular septum eg. ASD, VSD, aortic and pulmonary stenosis, coarctation of aorta

Cardiomyopathies: IE, RHD

Q

How do you manage children with haematological problems?

A

Aggressive prevention
And liase with haematologist
Avoid extractions in general practice and multiple extractions done in hospital
Monitor blood values: should be more than 50000/l but prefer above 80000/l
Avoid extractions and do endo where possible and can be done without factor cover but do not over instrument
Avoid mandibular blocks and use infiltration
Avoid drugs that exacerbate bleeding eg NSAIDS
Use rubber dam

22
Q

What are the principles to the dental management of oncology patients?

A

Pre cancer treatment screen to eliminate all sources of infection
Emergency treatment should only be done in the acute phase
Ensure platelet levels are greater than 80,000 prior to surgery for haemostasis
Prophylactic antibiotics anti fungals and antivirals
If xla is required and neutrophil count is less than 1.8 * 10^9 then needs anti microbials
Delay any elective dental treatment until child is in remission or on maintenance chemo
Pulp therapy is contra indicated in the induction and consolation phase of chemo
CBA of endo in permanent teeth
