Q

prostaglandings in pain

A

trauma and infection causes breakdown of membrane phospholipids producing arachidonic acid

arachindonic acid can be broken down to form prostaglandins

these sensitise the tissue to other inflammaotyr products e.g. leikotrienes = pain

therefore if prostaglandin reduction is descreased - pain moderated

Q

mechanism of action of aspirin

A

reduced prostagland production

inhibits COX1 and COX2 (150x better at COX1)
* reduces platelet aggregation and predisposes to gastric mucosa damage

mainly peripherally acting agent

antipyretic
* reduces temp raising effect of IL-1 and brain levels of prostaglandings
* reduces elevated temp in fever
* doesn’t bring temp below normal if temp normal prior to taking drug

anti inflammatory
* vasodilators and therefore affect capillary permeability
* reduced redness, swelling and pain

metabolic
* BMR inc
* platelet aggregation dec
* prothrombin dec

hypersenitivity - acute bronchospasm, skin rashes, allergies

overdose - tinnitis, metabolic acidosis

Q

aspirin and pts with renal or hepatic issues

A

aspirin is metabolised in liver and excreted by kidney - so reduce dose

nephrotoxicity - PGE2 and PGI2 made in kidney; if inhibited then reduced sodium retention, poor renal perfusion and failure may result

hyperkalaemia adn interstitial nephritis possible

Q

cox-2 selectives mech of action

A

COX-2 enzyme resposible for generation of inflammatory prostaglandins altought sometimes COX-1 involved

PGE2 is generated in low physiolcal amounts by COX1 in gastric tissues and has protective effect

prostaglandins esp PGE2 are generated in excessive amounts during inflammation via elevated COX2 levels
* prodcues inc vasodilation, inc vascular permeablity and sensitises pain fibre nerve endings to bradykinin, 5HT and other mediators

20
Q

paracetamol mode of action

A

simple analgesic without anti-inflammatory action

  • hydroperoxides generated from metabolism of arachidonic acid by COX and exert postive feedback to stimulate COX activity
  • feedback is blocked by paracetamol which indirectly inhibits COX esp in brain
  • helps reduce prostaglandin activity in the pain pathways of the CNS (e.g. thalamus)

Q

dihydrocodeine qualities

A

acts in spinal cord- dorsum horn pathways and associated palei-spinothalamic pathway
* specific receptors which are closely associated with neuroanl pathways that transmit pain to CNS
* withdrawal from drug will lead to psychological cravings and pt will be ill

BNF states relatively ineffective in dental pain

surgical access
bone removal as necessary
tooth division as necessary
procedure
debridement
suture
achieve haemostatsis
post op instructions and medications

47
Q

principels of surgical access

11

A
  • wide based incision (circulation)
  • scalpel in 1 firm continuous stroke
  • no sharp angles
  • adequately sized flap
  • flap retraction down to bone and done clearly
  • minimise trauma to ID papillae
  • no crushing
  • keep tissue moist
  • ensure flap margins and sutures on sound bone
  • ensure closure not under tension
  • aim for healing by primary tension -> minimise scarring
48
Q

purpose of soft tissue retraction

3
and how

A
  • access to operative field
  • protection of soft tissues
  • flap design facilitates retraction

dones with care using
* Howarth’s periosteal elevator
* rake retractor

49
Q

equipment for bone removal and tooth division

A

eletrical straight handpience with saline cooled bur
air driven handpiece - may lead to surgical emphysema

bur made of tungsten carbide
* round bur for buccal gutter
* fissure bur for separation

protect soft tissues and caution of nerves if bur slips

50
Q

priciples of elevator use

A

mechanical advantage, avoid excessive force

support instrument to avoid injury to pt should it slip
ensure applied force away from major structures e.g. antrum, IDC, mental nerve
always use in direct vision

movements
* wheel and axle
* wedge
* lever

51
Q

3 modes of surgical debridement

A

physical
* bone file or nibblers to remove sharp bony edges
* mitchell’s trimmer or victoria currette to remove soft tissue debris

irrigation
* sterile saline into socket and under flap#

suction
* aspirate under flap to remove debris
* check socket for retained apices etc

52
Q

aims of suturing

5
