Pulp testing equivocal
Radiographs
Diagnostic LA
Removal of restorations

40
Q

How to diagnose acute periodontitis?

A

TTP
Non vital tooth
Slight increase in mobility
Radiographs

41
Q

What is shown on radiographs for acute periodontitis?

A

Loss of clarity of lamina dura
Radiolucent shadow
Widening of apical periodontal space

42
Q

Cause of traumatic periodontitis?

A

Parafunction (clenching/grinding)

43
Q

How to diagnose traumatic periodontitis?

A

Clinical examination of occlusion
TTP
Normal vitality
Radiographs

44
Q

Tx for traumatic periodontitis?

A

Occlusal adjustment
Parafunction therapy

45
Q

What is the commonest pus producing infection?

A

Acute apical abscess

46
Q

What are the initial symptoms of acute apical abscess?

A

Severe unremitting pain
Acute tenderness in function
Acute tenderness on percussion

47
Q

What are symptoms of acute apical abscess once abscess perforates through bone?

A

Pain often remits
Swelling, redness, heat
As swelling increases pain returns
Initial reduction in TTP as pus escapes into soft tissues

48
Q

Where does site of swelling of acute apical abscess depend upon?

A

Position of tooth in arch
Root length
Muscle attachments
Potential spaces in proximity to lesion e.g. submental/ sublingual spaces

49
Q

Example of gram positive and gram negative cocci?

A

S.anginosus
Veillonella species

50
Q

Example of gram positive and gram negative bacilli?

A

Actinomyces israelii
Prevotella intermedia

51
Q

What is capnophilic?

A

Require carbon dioxide

52
Q

What is facultative?

A

With and without oxygen

53
Q

What is antimicrobial resistance?

A

Microorganisms change in ways that render medications used to cure the infections they cause ineffective

54
Q

2 types of resistance of bacteria?

A

Intrinsic resistance
Acquired resistance

55
Q

How can genes acquire resistance?

A

Mutation
Acquisition of new genes

56
Q

How do viridans group streptococci e.g. S.mitte resist antibiotics?

A

Alter target site e.g. change from circular to square shape- if u change shape then penicillins can no longer stick to exert their actions

57
Q

Label the pathways of periapical infection?

A

Infected or necrotic pulp
PDL
Alveolar bone
Apical foramen
Periapical infection

58
Q

Key microbiological features of dental abscesses?

A
