Q

explain pattern and distribution of decay in nursing bottle/early childhood caries

why are some teeth not in the pattern?

A

lower incisors are spared from decay as they are physically protected by the nursing position of the child’s tongue - the artifical nipple of bottle rests against the palate, while tongue is extended over the lower incisors

maxillary incisors - 1st to experience the cariogenic challenge and suffer the longest cariogenic attack because of early eruption

if habit continues, other teeth (mandibular canines and all 6s) will be subjected to the cariogenic challenge in sequence of eruption

Q

5 causes of nursing bottle/early childhood caries

A
  • no brushing of teeth - minimal fluride exposure
  • child put to bed with a bottle thus allowing prolonged exposure of the baby’s teeth to cariogenic sugars
  • as a result of inappropriate use of feeding bottles and cups (contents sugar)
  • prolonged breastfeeding
  • baby may not swallow all milk or contents of bottle and therefore remnants can swirl around the oral cavity for prolonged timeframes

Q

how does thumb sucking affect posterior dentition

A

pt thumb and digits are positioned in the mouth in such a way that they result in the mandible to drop open

  • this cause the pt’s tongue to be held and occupied in a lower position that what is deemed normal

sucking action initiaited by the muscular forces in the cheek’s narrows the maxillary arch - causing posterior cross bite

Q

pt has mobile lower incisors and refuses XLA

what would you advise? what are disadv?

splinting may be appropriate when tooth mobility is caused by advanced LOA, or causing discomfort or difficulty chewing

but splinting does not influence the rate of periodontal destruction and may create hygiene difficulties

72
Q

dentist causes facial palsy as a result of right IAN block

pt has sore right TMJ

how is the facial palsy caused?

A

if the clinician doesn’t hit the bone and inserts the needle too far back, LA is deposited in parotid gland

facial nerve runs through it, due to the dense fascia around the gland the LA will remain for a long time and cause paralysis of the facial muscles that the nerve innervates

73
Q

dentist causes facial palsy as a result of right IAN block

pt has sore right TMJ

3 differences between stroke and facial palsy

A
  • facial palsy occurs as a result of LA administered into the parotid gland and affects the side injected
    • stroke causes loss of movement of facial muscles on opposite side
  • if it is stroke, the pt can still wrinkle their forehead on the affected side
74
Q

explain the neural anatomy which accounts for difference between stoke and facial palsy

A

in a stroke there is interruption of supra nuclear fibres from the motor areas of cerebral cortex, before they reach the facial motor nucleus

the upper part of the facial motor nucleus receives crossed and uncrossed fibres and the frontalis and orbicularis oculi still have the ability to function as a result

unlike in facial palsy

75
Q

dentist causes facial palsy as a result of right IAN block
