Q

Describe stages of treatment planning

A

Immediate - relief of acute symptoms, consider endo and extractions, consider immediate denture/bridge
Initial (disease control) - Extractions of hopeless teeth, OHI and diet advice, HPT, caries removal, replace defective restorations, Endo, denture design, wax up for fixed pros
Re-evaluation - re-asses perio status, confirm denture/bridge design
Reconstructive - perio surgery, fixed and removeable pros
Maintenance - supportive perio care and review of restorations

Q

Why is path of insertion an important consideration of crown prep?

A

Imaginary line along which the restoration will be placed onto or removed from the preparation - is set before the preparation is begum and all the features of the prep must coincide with it

Q

A

Metal - aluminium and stainless steel

Useful in cases where no impression can be taken before prep e.g. trauma

78
Q

Two types of tooth bleaching

A

External vital bleaching
Internal non vital bleaching

79
Q

Vital external bleaching

A

Discolouration is caused by formation of chemically stable chromogenic products within tooth substance - long chain organic molecules
Bleaching oxidises these compounds which leads to smaller, often not pigmented molecules

80
Q

Vital external bleaching

A

Discolouration is caused by formation of chemically stable chromogenic products within tooth substance - long chain organic molecules
Bleaching oxidises these compounds which leads to smaller, often not pigmented molecules

81
Q

Active agent in vital external bleaching

A

H2O2 hydrogen peroxide
Forms an acidic solution in water, breaks down to form water, oxygen and free radical HO2(active oxidising agent)

Or active ingredient carbamide peroxide, which breaks down to produce H2O2 and urea

82
Q

Constituents in vital external bleaching gel

A

Carbamide peroxide
Carbopol - thickening agent, slows O2 release and keeps gel in place
Urea - increases pH
Surfactant - allows gel to wet tooth surface
Pigment disperser
Preservative
Flavour
Potassium nitrate - tooth desensitising
Calcium phosphate - tooth desensitising
Fluoride - prevents erosion

83
Q

Factors affecting external vital bleaching

A

Time - more time more effect
Clean tooth - better
Higher concentration - more and quicker effect
Temp - higher = quicker

84
Q

Warnings for patient of external vital bleaching

A

Sensitivity
Relapse
Restoration colour
Allergy
Might not work
Compliance with regime

85
Q

Advantages and disadvantages of in office bleaching

A

Controlled by dentist, can use heat/light, quick results for pt

Time for dentist, can be uncomfortable, results tend to wear off quicker, more expensive

86
Q

In office bleaching technique

A

Thoroughly clean teeth
Ideally rubber dam
At least gingival mask
Apply gel
Apply heat/light
Wash dry repeat
Takes 30 mins to an hour
Protection of gingivae essential

87
Q

Home vital bleaching technique

A

10-15% Carbamide peroxide gel (equates to 6% hydrogen peroxide, max legal strength)
Custom made tray - alginate impressions, 0.5mm thick soft, acrylic, vacuum formed soft splint made, buccal spacer for gel
Bleaches over several weeks
Easy

88
Q

When to bleach?

A

Age related discolouration - yellow/orange responds much better than blue/grey
Mild fluorosis
Post smoking cessation
Tetracycline - can take months, better with brown/yellow than grey

89
Q

Problems with tooth whitening

A

Sensitivity - common 60%+, worse initially
Wears off
Cytotoxicity
Gingival irritation - tray should stop 1mm short of gingivae
Tooth damage - no evidence
Damage to restorations - probably not but composite doesn’t bleach
Problems with bonding to tooth - reduces with time

90
Q

Causes of internal grey discolouration

A

Dead pulp - bleeding into dentine - blood products diffuse and darken giving grey colour

91
Q

Indications for internal non vital bleaching

A

Non vital tooth
Adequate RCT
No apical path

92
Q

Contraindications for internal non vital bleaching

A

Heavily restored tooth - better with crown or veneer
Staining due to amalgam

93
Q

Advantages and risks of internal non vital bleaching

A

Easy, conservative and good pt satisfaction

External cervical resorption due to diffusion of H2O2 through dentine into periodontal tissues

94
Q

Technique for internal non vital bleaching

A

Record shade
Prophylaxis
Rubber dam
Remove filling from access cavity
Removes GP from pulp chamber and 1mm below ACJ
Place 1mm RMGIC over GP to seal canal, seal dentine and prevent root resorption
Remove any really dark dentine
Etch internal surface with 37% phosphoric
Place 10% carbamide peroxide gel in cavity, cotton wool over it and seal with GIC
Repeat weekly until required shade achieved - usually 3-4 visits
If no change after 4 visits it isn’t going to work
Once shade achieved place white GP or similar in pulp chamber and restore with a light composite shade

95
Q

Combination bleaching technique

A

Remove GP as with internal, cover with RMGIC,
Make bleaching tray (palatal, not buccal reservoir)
Bleach placed in access cavity and in tray
Replaced frequently over about a week
Tricky for pt - must wear tray the whole time

96
Q

Microabrasion as tooth whitening

A

Removes discolouration limited to the outer layers of enamel
Combination of erosion with acid and abrasion with pumice

97
Q

Indications for microabrasion bleaching

A

Fluorosis
Post ortho demineralisation
Demineralisation with staining
Prior to veneering if dark staining present

98
Q

Technique for microabrasion bleaching

A

Clean teeth thoroughly
Rubber dam
Mix 18% HCl (or37% phosphoric, less effective) and pumice
Apply to teeth
Gently rub with prophy cup 5 sec/tooth
Wash
Repeat up to 10x
Remove dam and polish with prophy paste
Apply fluoride gel or varnish to help reharden and decrease sensitivity
Review 1 month
Can be repeated but not too much - dentine yellow and sensitive

99
Q

Advantages and disadvantages of microabrasion bleaching

A

Quick, easy , no long term problems
BUT
Acid, sensitivity, only works for superficial staining, works much better for brown stains than white marks

100
Q

Outcome predictors of dental trauma

A

Severity of injury
Stage of root development
Timing of treatment

101
Q

Where can guidance be found on the impact of injury severity on the longterm outcome be found?

A

Risk calculator IADT dental trauma guide
Prognoses for teeth with traumatic dental injuries
Copenhagen trauma database
Data from 2191 traumatised permanent teeth from 1282 patients
