What considerations would you have treating a patient with heart conditions?
Angina, ischaemic heart disease
o GA risk
Congenital heart disease
o Infective endocarditis
Heart failure patients
o Orthopnoea – needs to be sitting up
What to do if patient has asthma?
- Salbutamol
- Give them their pump
- Avoid if severe asthma
When would you avoid giving NSAIDs
- severe Asthmatic
- Warfarin/ bleeding risks (NOAC)
- Peptic stomach ulcers
- Pregnant
What are NSAIDs?
- Non Steroidal anti inflammatory drugs
- inhibit Cox-1/2
- diclofenac/ aspirin/ ibuprofen
What does oedema mean?
- Swelling due to fluid build up
What do you need for consent to be valid
- voluntary
- Informed
- Capacity
Why is LA less effective in infected areas?
- Lower pH
- More vascularity
Problems that can be caused when injecting LA
Haematoma
o Laceration of vein causing swelling
o Reassure if happens
Intravascular injection
o Aspirate
o Tachycardia, temp blindness
Trismus
o Intramuscular injection
o Vascular bleed
Facial paralysis
o Into parotid gland
o Eye dropping
What things would indicate high risk of OAC?
- Close to the anatomical floor
- Lone standing molar
What to do if fractured tuberosity?
- Leave in situ
- Splint the tooth and bone
- Re-attempt a surgical in 6-8 weeks
What is dry socket and incidence
- Otherwise known as alveolar osteitis
- Post extraction pain 3% incidence 20% incidence surgically extracted
- Localised pain 2-3day after
- Blood clot isn’t maintained.
What are pre-disposing factors of dry socket?
- Poor OHI
- Extraction trauma
- Smoking
- Site – more common in the mandible
- Systemic – oral contraceptive use
How would you manage dry socket
- Reassure
- Irrigate with saline/chlorhexidine
- Dress socket with Alvogyl
- Enforce ohi
- Analgesics
Aims of raising a flap
- Gain access
- Maintain blood supply
- Avoid gingival scaring
- Avoid nerves
Types of flaps?
- Envelope flap
- 2 sided flap
- 3 sided flap
Intra oral suturing types
- Single interrupted suture
- Simple continuous suture
- Vertical mattress suture
- Horizontal mattress suture
What are the suture material types?
- Absorbable vs Non-absorbable
- Braided vs monofilament
- Vicryl or vicryl rapide is braided
What should you consider when giving paracetamol
- May use with NSAID due to anti-inflammatory
- Cautious with liver disease patients
What adverse effects of NSAIDs
- Cardiovascular patients, asthmatics
- history of GI bleed/ ulceration Avoided of inflammatory bowel disease
- Gastrointestinal bleeds (overcome by selective cox-2 nsaids)
What is the analgesic ladder?
- Weak opoids such as codeine
- Strong opoids such as morphine
What are side effects of opioids?
- Constiapation
- Tolerance
- Physical dependence
- Nausea and vomiting
- Respiratory depression
What is the ASA classification
- Asa 1 – healthy
- Asa 2 – mild systemic disease
- Asa 3 – severe systemic disease
- Asa 4 – severe systemic disease where there is a constant threat to life
- Asa 5 – patient that is going to die without operation
What is conscious sedation
- Drug that produces a state of depression
- Patient is in verbal contact
- Can protect themselves
What is the problem of patient taking recreational drugs for sedation
- Adverse reaction and unpredictable
- Anxious and aggressive
- 72hours before must stop
Contraindications for IVS
- Allergy to benzodiazepines
- Poor venous access
- Co-morbidities
- Pregnancy
- Impaired liver or kidney
- High bmi
- Respiratory disease
What drugs used in IVS
- Midazolam
- Flumazenil – reversal agent
Indications for GA
- Extensive procedure – over 40 mins ish
- Very anxious patient
- Uncooperative patient
Contraindications for GA
- High bmi (over 30)
- Significant comorbidities
- Allergies to the drug
Definition of general anaesthesia
- State of controlled unconsciousness
- Patient feels nothing.
What are common side effects of GA
- Nausea, sore throat, fainting, memory loss
Categories of bleeding disorders
- Vascular disorders – changes in capillaries
- Thrombocytic disorders – decreased platelet, changes in the function of platelets
- Disorders of coagulation – deficiency of certain coagulation factors (haemophilia A&B)
What is thrombocytopenia?
- Concentration of platelets are abnormally low (below 50x10^9)
- Reasons can be:
o Bone marrow doesn’t produce enough
o Platelets are trapped in an enlarged spleen
o Increased destruction of platelets
o Increased use of platelets
What is Von Willebrand disease
- Congenital bleeding disorder
- vWF protein stabilises factor 8
what is haemophilia
- type A Is defficiency of factor 8
- type B is deficiency of factor 9
what is tranexamic acid
- prevents fibrin clot lysis
- way of managing bleeding
local measures to control bleeding
- local pressure with gauze
- Suture
- Haemostatic agent (oxide cellulose – surgical)
- Local anaesthetic with adrenaline
What is MRONJ
- Medication related osteonecrosis of the jaw
- Bisphosphates and denosumab (RANKL inhibitor)
Risk factors for MRONJ
- Duration of prescription: Oral BP over 3/4 years
- Procedure that exposes bone
- Mandible > Maxilla
- Poor OH
- SDCEP Guidelines
What are the stages of MRONJ
- Stage 0 – non specific clinical findings, radiographic changes
- Stage 1 – exposed and necrotic bone, but asymptomatic
- Stage 2 – exposed bone with infection
