oral and biological disease management Flashcards
Name the Medical Emergency
Breathlessness and expiratory wheeze, inability to complete sentences in one breath.
RR = less than 25 per min
Pulse = less than 110/min
Asthma
Name the Medical Emergency
Feeling faint/dizzy/lightheaded.
Collapse and loss of consciousness with sweating, pallor, bradycardia and low blood pressure, nausea and vomiting.
Syncope
Name the Medical Emergency
Shaking / trembling, slurred speech and vagueness, sweating and pallor, blurred vision, lethargy, confusion/aggression and loss of consciousness.
Hypoglycaemia
Name the Medical Emergency
Sudden collapse and loss of consciousness, rigidity, cyanosis, jerking movements of limbs, noisy breathing, bitten tongue, frothing at the mouth, incontinence.
Epilepsy
Name the Medical Emergency
Sudden onset, urticaria/angioedema, flushing and pallor, respiratory distress stridor, wheeze, hypotension and tachycardia.
Anaphylaxis
SOCRATES
Individual pain threshold may determine the relationship between this and seeking therapeutic treatment.
Onset
SOCRATES
May be achieved by stimulating activity in A beta neurones that branch in the dorsal horn before entering the dorsal columns.
Exacerbations
SOCRATES
May be difficult to determine if the pain is of neuropathic origin.
Site
SOCRATES
The description of neuropathic pain using terms such as shooting, burning, stabbing or electric shock-like.
Character
SOCRATES
May be described in terms of duration and using words such as mild, distracting, moderate etc.
Severity
What is the FDI notation for permanent teeth?
UR - 1
UL - 2
LL - 3
LR - 4
Using FDI notation, which tooth is the least vulnerable to caries or trauma?
13 and 23 (upper canines)
Using FDI notation, which teeth are vulnerable to the non-carious tooth surface loss associated with gastrointestinal-oesophageal reflux disease?
11, 12, 21, 22
(upper anteriors, think where it hits when it comes up)
Using FDI notation, which teeth are at increased risk of trauma in a class II div I malocclusion?
11, 12, 21, 22
(because incisors stick out in class 2 div 1).
Using FDI notation, which teeth are commonly missing in individuals with mild congenital hypodontia?
35, 45
(lower 5s usually missing in hypodontia).
Using FDI notation, which teeth are at greatest risk of caries due to a combination of morphology and eruption dates.
16, 26, 36, 46
(all 6s)
A possible outcome of dependence on fruit juice at bed time in toddlers.
- bruxism
- erosion
- gingivitis

Rampant Caries
May be masked by a nicotine induced reduction in blood flow and reversed following smoking cessation.
- bruxism
- erosion
- gingivitis
- leukoplakia
- periodontitis
- pulpitis
- rampant caries

Gingivitis
May be associated with p53 overexposure
- bruxism
- erosion
- gingivitis
- leukoplakia
- periodontitis
- pulpitis
- rampant caries
- xerostomia
Leukoplakia
(p53 is a tumour suppressor gene - leukoplakia can be malignant)
