what is the asthma biphasic response due to
early response related to mast cell degranulation
late response due to cellular inflammation
what is the early asthma attack blocked by
beta agonists (salbutamol)
what is the late asthma attack blocked by
corticosteroids
what are the main asthma drugs
SA beta agonists
LA beta agonists
high and low corticosteroids
adjuvant therapy (monteleukast, prednisolone, biologic therapy)
what is the action of beta agonists
relax bronchial smooth muscle by reducing bronchoconstriction and reduce resting bronchial tone
when are beta agonists used in asthma
either as short acting reliever drug or long acting preventer drug
what actions does corticosteroids have
immune cell and epithelial actions
reduce inflammation in the bronchial walls
when do you start using an inhaled
low dose corticosteroid with asthma
if using short acting beta agonist more than 3 times each week
when do you move to a high dose inhaled corticosteroid
if symptoms indicate need
what non-oral side effects can corticosteroids have?
adrenal suppression
osteoporosis
what do spacers do
reduce the risk of side effects from medicine affecting your mouth and throat
what are the common oral side effects of fluticasone
oral thrush
dry or sore throat or hoarse voice
our patient is on salbutamol and fluticasone, what is the severity of the asthma and why
low severity as salbutamol is SA agonist and corticosteroid (dont know dose though)
what is it important to know about a patients asthma as a densit
triggers
how to assess and treat during acute asthma attack
how quickly does a short acting beta agonist work
2-3 minutes
how long does a SA beta agonist work
4-6 hours
what are short acting beta agonists used to treat
acute bronchial constriction
what is the immunology of asthma
chronic inflammation by infiltration and activation of immune cells like dendritic cells, eosinophils, neutrophils, lymphocytes, innate lymphoid cells and mast cells
what is depression
persistent sadness for weeks or months

unhappiness
hopelessness
losing interest in hobbies
constantly tired
sleep badly
no appetite
what can cause depression
upsetting or stressful life event
bereavement
low self-esteem
overly critical
family history
post-natal
menopause
loneliness
alcohol and drugs
illness
what are some of the treatments for depression
guided self help (CBT)
exercise
talking therapies
antidepressants
what are the different types of antidepressant
SSRI
tricyclic antidepressants
SNRI
what type of antidepressant is sertraline
SSRI
what does SSRI stand for
selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor
what do SSRIs do
increase serotonin levels in the brain by blocking the reuptake (reabsorption) of it into the nerve cells meaning there is more serotonin available to the body
what is serotonin
messenger chemical that carries signals between nerve cells in brain
has good influence on mood, emotion and sleep
what are the side effects of SSRIs
agitation, anxious
diarrhoea
dizziness
blurred vision
loss of libido
what are the side effects of sertraline
nausea
headaches
being unable to sleep
feeling sleepy
diarrhoea
dry mouth
feeling dizzy
feeling tired or weak
what type of drug is propranolol
non-selective beta blocker
(targets B1 and B2)
what is the action of beta blockers
prevent increase in heart rate
reduce heart efficiency
block beta receptors in lungs
does this by blocking the effects of adrenaline
what are the common uses of propranolol
high BP
heart rhythm disorders
angina
migraines
tremor
anxiety
what symptoms of anxiety can propranolol help to relieve
rapid heartbeat
sweating
dizzy feel
shaky hands or voice
what are the side effects of propranolol
abdominal discomfort
slow heartbeat
confusion
depression
vomiting
visual impairment
headache
fatigue
what is the safe alcohol units per week
14
what should we be doing with the units of alcohol we drink per week
spread over at least 3 days if drinking 14 units
with some alcohol free days
what is 14 units equivalent to in terms of wine glasses and pints
6 pints
10 small glasses of wine
what is linea alba caused by
friction in the mouth such as
grinding
orthodontic appliances
overenthusiastic brushing
what is linea alba
frictional thickening of buccal mucosa appearing as raised white line running horizontally along the occlusal plane (on buccal mucosa)
deposition of excess keratin
what can we do to help linea alba
reassure the patient it is non-malignant
take a history of patient (grinding/stress)
could construct a splint if the patient has trouble grinding overnight
advise patient to try to relax
how is a diet diary used
write everything you eat down over 3-4 days with at least one day at the weekend
what is the difference between plaque scores and modified plaque scores
plaque scores use every tooth in the mouth and all 4 sides of the tooth. Also only uses a score of 1 or 0
modified plaque uses ramfjords teeth so is quicker. Uses scores 2, 1, 0.
why are bitewings taken
to assess for presence of caries
why have periapicals been taken in this case
to assess condition of indirect restorations and periapical health
why would you sensibility test the 37
to assess the pulpal health of the tooth
the patient is not sore at the moment however it may be a good idea to gain more knowledge about the state of the pulp
what sensibility tests would you want
EPT
ethyl chloride
TTP
what is this patients periodontal diagnosis
generalised gingivitis
what gives a diagnosis of generalised gingivitis
code 0/1/2 with >30% bleeding on probing sites
what would the periodontal treatment be for someone with a BPE of 2
Step 1 Treatment:
OHI
remove plaque retentive factors
supragingival PMPR
what does step 1 periodontal treatment include
explain disease and risk factors
explain OHI
reduce risk factors and plaque retentive factors
provide individually tailored advice for ID cleaning and brushing
supragingival PMPR of clinical crown
what is step 2 periodontal treatment
reinforce OHI
subgingival instrumentation
what is step 3 periodontal treatment
revisiting the non-responding sites of deep residual pockets
what is step 4 periodontal treatment
maintenance
regular OHI
regular targeted PMPR
what is an engaging periodontal patient
plaque levels <20% and bleeding <30%
what is a non-engaging patient
plaque >20% and bleeding >30%
what is symptomatic irreversible pulpitis
a clinical diagnosis stating that the vital inflamed pulp is incapable of healing with lingering thermal pain/spontaneous pain/referred pain
what is normal apical tissues
teeth with normal periradicular tissues not TTP or palpation testing
lamina dura surrounding the root is intact and PDL space is uniform
what is asymptomatic apical periodontitis
inflammation and destruction of apical periodontium that is of pulpal origin, appears as an apical radiolucent area and does not produce clinical symptoms
how do you clinically assess a tooth which might have a root canal problem
check coronal seal
look for ferrule
decide if restorable with dam
swelling
sinus
TTP
buccal sulcus - TTP?
mobility
increased pocketing
what do you look for radiographically with a tooth which may have a root canal problem
