Mock 2# Flashcards
periodontal abscess
localised acute exacerbation of a pre-existing pocket
Usually vital, pain on lateral movements, usually mobile, loss of alveolar crest, more likely to have generalised horizontal bone loss
periapical abscess
localised collection of pus around apex of a non-vital tooth as a result of pulp necrosis
non vital, TTP vertically, may be mobile, loss of lamina dura, radiolucency?
occlusal trauma
tooth mobility which is progressively increasing and or tooth mobility with symptoms AND radiographic evidence of increased PDL width
periapical periodontitis
periodontal disease which has reach the apex of a tooth, resorption of alveolar bone, loss of attachment - apical migration of junctional epithelium.
plaque, age, smoking, stress, diabetes
chronic gingivitis
Bleeding on Probing, inflammation of gingival tissues, false pockets due to oedema.
No bone loss.

branches of CNV2 (maxillary)
- Nasopalatine branch, and nasal branches (sphenopalatine foramen)
- greater and lesser palatine branches,

Enters maxillary sinus,
- middle and ant sup alveolar nerves,
exits via infra orbital foramen where it become the infra orbital nerve ( labial, nasal, palpebral branches)

health promotion strategies for alcohol
- Advertising regarding safe limits, not drinking and driving etc.
- Changing Scotland’s Relationship with Alcohol: A Framework for Action.
- Licensing Scotland Act 2005;
- Alcoholb– increasing price per unit of alcohol
chairside interventions for alcohol
Ask, Assess, Advise, Assist, Arrange - 5As BEST
- AUDIT: alcohol use disorders identification test (good to determine if hazardous, harmful or dependent drinker)
- FAST: concise version of AUDIT (fast alcohol screening test)
- CAGE: 4 questions
ABIs - alcohol brief interventions - opportunitistc and effective
3 types candidosis
- pseduo membranous (thrush)
- erythomatous (denture induced stomatitis)
- hyperplastic
angular cheilitis
tx pseudo membranous candidosis
nystatin
- topical MW 4x daily (100,000 units) 3ml per rinse for 7 days
- CLX can be an effective adjunctive to this.
Candida subtyping should be considered if systemic antifungals to be prescribed as C.glabrata, C.tropicalis and C.krusei are resistant to fluconazole.
- Fluconazole 50mg daily for 7 days or itraconazole 10-20mg OD both for 14 days
erythromatous candidosis tx
Eliminate cause, through cleaning of denture- (alkaline hypochlorites – Milton 20 min soak,)
if steroid related then advise rinse mouth with mouth after inhaling and/or spacer device.
Otherwise as above - nystatin
hyperplastic candidosis tx
confirm diagnosis microbiologically and histopathologically,
systemic anti fungals
- fluconazole 50mg OD or itraconazole 10-20mg OD.
Can also be associated with iron, folate, vit b12 deficiencies and smoking so try to correct these!
angular cheilitis tx
CHX + Miconazole cream
- 50mg daily 7 days

4 cardinal signs of parkinson
postural instability,
muscle rigidity – cogwheel and lead pipe,
resting tremor,
bradykinesia – difficulty initiating movements
dental impact of parkinsons
mask like face
- hard to judge,
slow speech,
impaired dexterity (tooth brushing)
swallowing may become troublesome.
Abnormal posture make make examination difficult
dry mouth (anticholinergic effect of drugs)
depression associated with the disease,
- depression could lead to dental neglect
Drug interactions.
how may pt with parkinsons dentally present
OH deteriorates, hard to access surgery, dry mouth, lack muscle control – hard for dentures, dyskinesia
signs of dementia pt with pain
frequent pulling at face and mouth,
refusal to eat,
previously worn dentures left out,
disturbed sleep,
increased restlessness and moaning
CHX drug group
bisbiguanides
CHX mech of action
Di cationic,
- one cation attaches to dental pellicle and the other to the bacterial membrane,
low conc: increases permeability,
high conc: precipitation of cytoplasm and cell death
substantivity
persistance of action (depends on: absorption to oral surfaces, maintenance of antimicrobial activity, slow neutralisation)
Substantivity 12hrs for CHX
- Factors that influence: Other drugs, food and drink, sodium lauryl sulphate
dose of CHX mouthwash
- 2% 10ml = 20mg twice/day
- 12% 15ml = 18mg twice/day
indications for CHX
- Short term use for specific problem (candiosis),
- post surgery,
- disabled pts,
- immunocompromised pts,
- reduced salivary flow,
- gingivitis,
- oral ulcerations,
