Q
  1. Dr suggests extraction for 21 with perio endo lesion, what consideration for extraction?

(Summative, 2016)

A

 Local anaesthesia may not be effective in normal dosage because of the presence of pus in the periodontium, the pH is lower hence the ratio of unionised to ionised LA is significantly increased so the LA cannot pass into the nerve

 Need cut and drain the abscess

 Infraorbital block may be used hence possibility of hematoma on the lower eye

Anson: see page 169-171 for table (too big to include)

Q
  1. Tooth 48 is impacted. What factors contribute it the difficulty of its surgical removal?
A
  • Angulation
    • [Easiest] Vertical > mesioangular > distoangular > horizontal [Complicated]
  • Depth of impaction
    • Affect extent of bone removal and iatrogenic trauma
  • Root formation
    • Optimal time when root formed are 1/3 to 2/3 (less deeply impacted)
  • Root morphology
    • Number of root, taper, shape, curvature
  • Bone density
    • Less calcified in younger, more easy bone removal
  • Relationship to vital structures
    • IDN, LN, second molar
  • Size of follicle
    • Larger favourable

23/F, radiographer, self-referred to your clinic to ask for extraction of wisdom teeth.
History: pain at wisdom teeth region for several times
Pan: 18, 28 vertical, fully erupted, 38 horizontal impaction, 48 horizontal/mesio angular impaction

a. In response to patient’s complaint, what clinical examination and special investigation should be done? (2)

A

 Presence of local infection
 Signs and symptoms of fascial space infection (diffused swelling, difficult of swallowing, breath)

 Presence of systemic involvement like regional lymphadenopathy
 Occlusal relationship –> whether trauma on opposing soft tissue
 Caries in or resorption of 3rd molar and adjacent tooth
 Eruption status and orientation of 3rd molar
 Limited mouth opening
 Periodontal status (mobility)
 TMJ function
 Special investigation: CBCT whether infection spread to fascial spaces

History: pain at wisdom teeth region for several times
Pan: 18, 28 vertical, fully erupted, 38 horizontal impaction, 48 horizontal/mesio angular impaction

c. What type of anesthesia do you suggest and why? (2)

A
  • ID block and long buccal nerve block
  • Since sectioning of tooth and full thickness of mucoperiosteal flap involve the lingual gingivae, 3rd molar (supplied by IDN) and buccal gingivae (long buccal nerve)
  • Or GA?
    • Due to increased surgical difficulty and depth of impaction, which involve prolonged surgery and extensive bone removal
    • Infection make LA inefficient (but normally extract after resolution of infection except life threatening fascial space infection)

c. What are your treatment plans for this patient? List any 2 surgical techniques involved (6)

A
  • General guideline
    • For small fistula (< 5 mm) spontaneously closure can be expected
    • Large perforation require surgical repair
  • Surgical
    • Caldwell Luc operation : intraoral access into maxillary sinus via fossa above maxillary premolar for continuous drainage and retrieval of retained root
    • Direct closure: debride socket and pack with Gelfoam, followed by buccal / palatal flap
  • Instructions to patient
    • Avoid smoking
    • Avoid using straws for drinking (produce negative pressure)
    • Sneezing should be with mouth open
  • Drug prescription
    • Decongestant
    • Antibiotics for app. 10 days
  • Create an access window at anterior antral wall to take out tooth fragment from the sinus, if the sinus opening is large, bone graft
  • If opening is small, close by epithelial repositioning
  • If opening is moderate (2-6mm), figure of 8 suture with gelfoam, follow sinus precautions, prescribe amox, cephalexin, or clindamycin for 5 days, decongestant nasal spray, refer if communication persists for longer than 2 weeks, refer if patient has previous history of chronic sinus disease
  • If sinus opening is large (>7mm), refer to OMFS. Raise buccal flap to take out the root fragment and close the oroantral fistula
  • Refer to OMFS, suction, Caldwell luc procedure, buccal advancement flap, palatal rotation flap, try to irrigate and flush out the tooth
  • For pericoronitis, extract upper first, let inflammation resolve, extract lower, irrigate, antibiotic

f. What are the treatments for “dry socket”? (2)

A

 Irrigate socket with saline

 Socket should not be curetted

 Place gauze with iodoform, eugenol, benzocaine, balsam of peru, change dressing every other day for 3- 6 days, once pain decreases, dressing should not be replaced, delay wound healing

 BIPP (Bismuth iodoform paraffin paste)

 Cotton pellet with ZOE, (Amoxicillin), metronidazole/ doxycycline, lidocaine gel

 Rinse with CHX bid for 7 days

31
Q

Given: panoramic radiograph. Generalized horizontal bone loss Multiple missing teeth: 18, 16, 24, 25, 26, 27, 38, 31, 41, 42, 48 Periapical radiolucency, Furcation involvement, Tilting

a. How would uncontrolled diabetes type 2 affect the healing if 37 were to be extracted?

A
  • Advanced glycated end products cause altered microvascular structure, which decrease blood supply to injured regions
    • Decrease oxygenation –> Hypoxia (due to insufficient perfusion and angiogenesis)
    • Hypoxia amplify early inflammatory response, thus prolonging injury by increasing levels of oxygen radicals
    • Hyperglycemia can add to the oxidative stress when production of reactive oxygen species exceeds the antioxidant capacity
    • Interaction between AGEs and RAGEs (receptors of AGEs) also result in high levels of matrix metalloproteinase –> increased tissue destruction and inhibit normal repair
  • Dysregulated cellular functions
    • Impaired immune system, inhibit ion of chemotaxis, phagocytosis, dysfunction of fibroblast and epidermal cells –> inadequate bacterial clearance –> infection easily occur even in small wound
  • Neuropathy
    • Neural cells death due to decreased vasculature
    • Neuropeptides like nerve growth factors and substance P are relevant to wound healing, which promote cell chemotaxis, induce growth factor production, stimulate cell proliferation
    • Decreased neuropeptides is associated with neuropathy
    • Moreover, sensation can modulate immune response, with denervated skin exhibit reduced leukocyte infiltration

h. Would you prefer using LA or GA? Give your reasons.

A

 GA

 Localized infection make LA inefficient due to low pH

 LA may cause further spread of infection into deep fascial spaces

 Depth and angulation of 38 depends the surgical difficulty, excessive bone removal prefer GA
