Q

describe Compton scatter and how it differs from photoelectric effect

A

interaction of x-ray photon with loosely bound outer electron of atom. Electron is ejected due to greater energy of photon.

  • Photon has lower energy after collision and undergoes change in direction

in photoelectric effect, there is interaction of the photon with the inner shell electron

  • complete absorption of the photon and no scatter

79
Q

rational for use of antibiotics in perio tx (3)

A
  • perio is caused by bacteria
  • some bacteria are inaccessible to debridement
    • e.g. they have invaded dentine tubules and tissues
    • non dental areas - tonsils, tongue affected
  • systemic signs of infection
80
Q

problems limiting use of AB in perio tx (5)

A
  • antibiotics may inactivate or degrade by non-target oragnisms
  • biofilms - resist AB
  • allergic reactions
  • resistance
  • superinfection
81
Q

in which perio situations would it be appropriate to prescribe AB

A
  • periodontal abscesses or ANUG with systemic involvement
  • ongoing disease despite meticulous mechanical therapy and good OH
  • medically compromised pts
82
Q

3 reasons for carrying obturation of prepared root canals

A
  • prevent bacteria left in the canal after obturation escaping to surrounding periodontal space - via apical foramen and lateral canals
  • prevent bacteria from infecting root tissue via coronal leakage
  • prevent infectin of root from periradicular exudate via apical forament, lateral canals
83
Q

describe stages in obturating root canal in upper central incisor

A

cold lateral compaction technique

  • choose appropriate GP master file cone corresponding to final extirpating file
  • mark the length of the canal preparation on the cone
  • check tug back
  • cover in root canal sealer (epoxy resin) and place in canal
  • place in accessory cones covered in sealer utilising a finger spreader (2mm from apical stop)
  • using a hot excavator, cut the coronal end of the GP just below the ACJ
84
Q

which part of the canal filling is most important in ensuring long term success of tx

A

coronal seal (determines the success of the final restoration)

85
Q

vertical interproximal bone loss with perio

2 theories

A
  1. plaque causes destruction within 2mm radius, if a bone is >2mm thick an angular bone defect may occur
  2. occlusion with bacterial plaque is a causative factor in perio attachment loss and bone destruction. Inflammation of gingivae occurs and this spreads to the PDL resulting in an area of co-destruction - produces vertical bone defect due to local trauma which exacerbates it
86
Q

horizontal bone loss in molars significant when

A

it involves furcation

87
Q

4 tx options for quadrant after HPT and excellent OH but persistent pockets >5mm

A
  1. non surgical re-treat with HPT
  2. surgical open flap curettage/debridement
  3. do nothing
  4. extract
88
Q

tooth brushing regimes for children as per SIGN 83 guideline

A

modified bass technique

  • hold the toothbrush at 45 degrees to the tooth to get under the gum line
  • horizontal strokes
  • 1 tooth at a time
