Q

What factors affect infection severity

A
  1. Virulence of organism – ability to be pathogenic. Commensals v pathogens
  2. Number of organisms
  3. Host resistance (disease, drugs, age, immunosuppression)
  4. Source of infection (can dictate the pathway where it spread) eg. Lingual swelling – increased risk of airway obstruction

Q

What are the stages of odontogenic infection to it becoming an abscess. Timeline

A

-Initial- no swelling, just pain
-0-3 days: pus breaks through cortices. acute inflammation, mild tender swelling
-3-7 days: pus spreads and causes cellulitis. Warm, painful
-5+ days: abscess formation Undermines skin or mucosa making it compressible, shiny and fluctuant ( can bounce when press it)

-Resolution is either spontaneous (bursts), surgical or antibiotics

Q

What is sepsis and septic shock

A

-Life threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection.
-Release of mediators due to bacteria and their endotoxins (NO, bradykinin, histamine, prostaglandins)
-Overreaction, vasodilation to bring in immune cells, hypo perfusion, hypotension
-Septic shock- subset of sepsis. Response to dramatic drop in BP and the organs fail to receive sufficient oxygen.

Q

Describe the difference between an OAC and OAF (communication v fistula)

A

-OAC= hole between oral cavity and sinus.
-If untreated can lead to OAF where the tract epithelises and makes a permanent hole which cannot heal (this takes 7-10 days).

[Usually due to extraction when close to sinus]

-can be acute or chronic, usually viral
-Tx= if mild rest, fluids, paracetamol and should clear after 4 weeks
- may need steroid nasal drops, surgery to Improve drainage, Remove cause (eg. Remove root), antimicrobials

34
Q

Reasons why LA fails

A

-Poor operator technique: incorrect site, insufficient solution, not slow enough
-Pharmaceutical reasons: past expiry date, not stored in the dark at room temperature causing oxidation of adrenaline
-infection
-anatomy: dense cortical bone, variations in foramen position, accessory nerve supply
-psychological reasons: anxiety can decrease success

35
Q

How LA needs to be stored and why

A

dark, room temperature
otherwise adrenaline oxidises and has decreased effectiveness

36
Q

How to overcome dense cortical bone or thick zygomatic butters around upper 6s, preventing LA diffusion

A

-articaine instead
-inject mesial and distal to buttress
-PDL Intraligamentary injections – pass through perforations in socket walls (but mandibular incisors have few so not effective in this region)

37
Q

Ways of overcoming accessory nerve supply with LA (crossover innervation)

A

high block, PDL/ intraosseous, articaine infiltrations, intra-pupal (for RCT)

38
Q

Why LA less effective with an infected tooth. How to overcome

A

-Alteration in tissue pH: LA is a weak base. Infected tissue is slightly acidic (normal is 7.4) so LA in ionised state outside the cell so less lipid soluble and so it is difficult to penetrate the membrane and into the cell
-Increased vascularity so loss of LA systemically quicker
-Loss of LA via draining sinuses
-Hyperalgesia – already firing lots of action potentials – when trying to anaesthetise it is much more difficult

=Give more LA, articaine for infiltrations, add supplementary techniques, pre-op pain killers

39
Q

Why articiane diffuses better

A

-higher concentration (4%)
-contains thiphene ring which folds into smaller molecular position to diffuse better

-therefore better to use over lidocaine for infiltrations. No benefit for blocks to don’t use as increased risk of nerve damage

-Also it has low pKa so is more lipid soluble so effective at crossing membrane so quick onset. And highly protein bond so long lasting

40
Q

What to do if IDB fails.

A

-repeat if asymptomatic tooth. Don’t if symptomatic (eg. irreversible pulpits)
-then do buccal and lingual infiltrations with articaine
-then supplementary techniques (intra-osseous, intraligamentary lidocaine/ articaine)
-then high block as foramen is higher

41
Q

What to do if buccal infiltration fails

A

repeat buccal with articaine
then palatal
then supplementary technique (intra-osseous, intraligamentary lidocaine/ articaine)
then superior alveolar nerve block in maxilla

42
Q

Explain Gow gates and Akinosi-vairani high mandibular blocks. Which nerves will they anaesthetise

A

-will anaesthetise IAN, lingual, long buccal, mylohioid, auriculotemporal nerves if worried about accessory nerve supply
1. higher success rate. Region of palatal cusps of upper 7s
2. easier. Closed mouth technique, loosely bite together. Maxillary mucogingival junction distal to 7

43
Q

What is Crestal (aka intraseptal) anaesthesia

A

-Similar to intra-ligamentary-relies on tiny perforations
-Insert needle into papilla = intraosseous anaesthesia
-Don’t have to insert needle into PDL membrane space
-Usually if not extracting the tooth
-Inject mesial and distal to the tooth until BLANCHING occurs. Similar amount to infiltrations

44
Q

A

-Natal tooth – tooth at birth
-Neonatal tooth – tooth that erupts within 30 days of birth
Usually Mandibular incisors
Tooth germs develop in superficial position

=Usually Hypoplastic enamel / Rootless
=Mobile – exfoliated / risk to airway
=Interfere with feeding. Can ulcerate tongue

-Only consider extracting if causing huge problem. But they are part of normal dentition so child would be without these teeth

65
Q

List causes of impacted teeth, unable to erupt correctly

A

-Lack of space: overcrowding, small arch or jaw, space closure due to early tooth loss, supernumerary teeth, delayed eruption, irregular positioning of adjacent teeth
-cysts, odontomes, tumours, infection
-delayed growth of jaw (malnutrition, radiation, anaemia etc.)
-greater density of overlying bone or soft tissue. Fibrosis of mucosa
-supernumerary teeth causing delayed eruption (aka in cleidocranial dysplasia, Gardner’s syndrome, cleft lip and palate)
-ectodermal dysplasia (delayed eruption)

66
Q

Which teeth are most commonly impacted

A

8s
upper 3s (palatal more common)
upper 1s
lower 4s and 5s
supernumerary teeth

67
Q

Complications of impacted teeth

A

-Pericoronitis (most common with 8s)
-Resorption = unerupted impacted permanents accelerate resorption of overlying primary teeth
-Cyst formation in follicle over unerupted tooth, leading to destruction of bone in local area – if perforates buccal cortex get infection there also
-Infection (hard to clean)
-Caries -Food trap and difficulty cleaning
-Mandibular fracture

68
Q

Signs and symptoms of impacted teeth

A

-Retention of deciduous tooth
-Tooth appears missing
-Swelling
-Mobility or tilting of adjacent tooth
-Loss of vitality of adjacent tooth
-Pericoronitis
-Trismus

69
Q

Radiographic signs that indicate IAN nerve damage from a mandibular 8

A

-Darkening of the root
-Diversion of the canal
-Interruption of the cortical outline
-Narrowing of the canal or root
-Deflected roots

70
Q

Imaging required for ectopic tooth

A

-Parallax view using 2 PAs or Occlusal + DPT
(2 different views to check where the ectopic tooth is)

-CBCT may be indicated but unnecessary high dose

71
Q

2 PAs are used to image an ectopic tooth. Is the tooth positioned buccally or lingually if the tooth moves in the same direction as the tube/ viewer

A

-The further away object always moves in the same direction as the tube / viewer
-SLOB: same way, lingual, opposite way, buccal

-so if tube shifts left to right and the tooth also moves right then it is lingual/ palatal

Also if palatal then further away so less magnified /smaller

72
Q

What are the NICE guidelines for when removing 8s are necessary. Is pericoronitis an indication for XLA

A

-don’t remove pathology free impacted wisdom teeth
-consider removal when such pathology includes unrestorable caries, non-treatable pulpal/ periapical pathology, cellulitis, abscess, osteomyelitis, resorption of the tooth or adjacent teeth, fracture of tooth, cyst/tumour
-remove if impeding reconstructive jaw surgery, or involved in or within the field of tumour resection.
-consider to remove if repeated pericoronitis, or 1 severe bout of pericoronitis

73
Q

Guidelines for removing ectopic upper canines (Royal college of surgeons)

A

-considered if radiographic evidence of early root resorption of adjacent incisors [12.5% chance]
-but exposure and alignment of the ectopic canine is usually indicated in cases where severe root resorption of an incisor tooth has occurred

74
Q

Options for managing impacted teeth

A

-leave and monitor
-surgical removal (MOS)
-expose and align with ortho bracket or chain
-transplant (risky, rare. Donor tooth into extracted impacted tooth socket, 2 week splint, composite camouflage. ANKYLOSIS risk)
-coronectomy
-interceptive orthodontics during mixed dentition stage (planned XLA of deciduous teeth to create space for permanent successors)
-extract

75
Q

Indication for coronectomy. Complications afterwards.

A

-May be indicated with lower 8s with high risk of IAN injury
-remove crown and leave roots
-this reduces risk of damaging IAN during extraction

-Complications: dry socket, infection, eruption of roots

76
Q

Difference between open and closed exposure procedures for helping align ectopic teeth

A
  • Open= keratinised tissue (eg. on palate, sometimes buccally)
  • Closed= non-keratinised tissue
    Mucoperiosteal flap raised, bone removal to expose crown only, chain/bracket/magnet applied, soft tissue flap closed over top
    -Usually of buccally displaced teeth that are superior to keratinised tissue, insufficient attached mucosa

[Tooth must erupt through keratinised gingiva in order to establish a MGJ, otherwise perio and aesthetic problems]

77
Q

Process of exposing ectopic palatal canine. Is it an open or closed exposure

A

-open exposure (keratinised)
-remove palatal gingiva to expose crown, remove bone with chisels rather than drill as risk damaging successors
-Need to maintain hole in palate to allow tooth to come through. Zinc oxide eugenol dressing to prevent healing/ re-epithelialising.
-Then cover plate for 2 weeks
