Q

What are some differences between primary and permanent teeth?

A

Smaller teeth

Crowns are more bulbous

Root furcations are more cervical

Roots are thinner and flare more

Roots of primary teeth naturally resorb

The alveolus is much more elastic

Q

What are some modifications to extraction technique that you use in children?

A

Don’t plunge deeply with beaks around primary molars because the bifurcation is very cervical (dont want to hit underlying tooth)

Avoid blind investigation of primary socket (avoid hitting underlying tooth)

Because of physiological resorption it is often preferable to leave small fragments in situ if root fractures

Q

Why dont you typically section primary teeth for extraction?

A

Don’t want to risk hitting the permanent tooth. You’re not going to cause problems if you leave some tooth behind. The primary root tips behind wil either be resorbed or erupted.

Q

Why is the extraction of third molars the most common surgical procedure in dentistry?

A

Limit progression of periodontal disease (perio pathology initiates in the 3rd molar region. Perio disease associated with systemic disase)

Absence of symptoms does not indicate absence of diseases or pathology

Dental crowding

Removal prior to 25 minimizes risk

Q

23
Q

Name 7 factors to consider when determining whether or not to extract an impacted maxillary canine.

A

Age

Past medical hx

Potential pathology

Location to adjacent teeth

Angulation

Risk of surgery

24
Q

Surgical exposure of an impacted maxillary canine requires coordination between ___ and ___. There needs to be ___. And the orthodontic appliances are placed __ to exposure.

A

Surgeon and orthodontist

Adequate space

Prior

25
What is a risk when the impacted canines are angled?
It can burn the roots out of adjacent teeth when you pull the canine down. If the pt is over 12 surgical assisted eruption is NOT recommended. Better to extract them
26
75% of the time, maxillary canine teeth are impacted towards the ___
Palate Not labial
27
Canines are impacted labially __% of the time. In this case, it is critical to....
15% Critical to maintain the cervical margin of attached mucosa on the erupted impacted tooth
28
What are the treatment options of a labially impacted canine?
Apical positioned flap Closed technique
29
What is the apical flap? How is it used in treating a labially impacted canine?
Attach gingiva to CEJ, then pulll the tooth down.
30
What is the most frequently occurring odontogenic tumor in pediatric pts?
Odontoma
31
What is the average age of finding someone with an odontoma?
Second decade of life (teenagers)
32
What are the clinical features of an odontoma?
Interfere with eruption of permanent teeth Begin to develop as normal dentition start to develop and cease when the teeth develop ends There is no sex predilection
33
True or false... odontomas must be removed
True
34
What is the difference between compound and complex odontomas?
Compound: represents tooth like structures Complex: look solid-like. In posterior mandibles. Irregularly shaped masses
35
Odontomas are treated by ___. Prognosis is ___. They [often/do not] recur.
Enucleation and curettage Excellent Do not recur
36
How can you tell if a bone cyst is empty by a radiograph?
You can't tell if it empty by radiograph, CT, or MRI. You must open it up surgically
37
What is a traumatic bone cyst?
Empty intrabony cavity that lacks an epithelial lining The designation of pseudocyst relates to the cystic radiograph appearance and gross surgical presentation of this lesion is seen mostly in the mandible
38
What causes traumatic bone cysts?
Pathogenesis is not known. In some cases seem to be associated with antecedent trauma Hypothesized that a traumatically induced hematoma forms within the intramedullary portion of bone, rather than organizing, the clot breaks down, leaving an empty bone cavity.
39
___ are mostly affected by traumatic bone cysts.. the most common site of occurrence is the ___. Swelling is occasionally seen with pain [frequently/infrequently] noted.
Teenagers Mandible Infrequently
40
What is the differential when you see something that looks like a traumatic bone cyst?
Traumatic bone cyst Aneurysmal bone cyst OKC Giant cell granuloma (expansion/root resorption)
41
What does a traumatic bone cyst look like radiographically?
Well-delineated area of radiolucency Area with scalloping borders between the roots of teeth
42
What is the first thing you do when you see a radiolucency of a mandible?
Do a needle aspiration to see if its filled with blood
43
What is the treatment of a traumatic bone cyst?
They do not go away on their own Curettage (scrape bone until it bleeds a lot). Then close it up.
44
If you find a mucocele that is not on the lower lip, what must you do?
Biopsy. It could be mucoepidermoid carcinoma
45
75% of cases of mucoceles are found where?
Lower lip
46
If you see a pediactric pts has a head and neck infection, you need to obtain a detailed history of the present illness, including what 6 things?
Onset Rate or progression Hx of odontogenic pain **airway compromise** Trismus Ophthalmic complaints
47
If you are examining a pediactric pt with an odontogenic infection what is the first thing you examine?
Airway
48
What is the order in the things you examine in a pedo pt with a head and neck infection?
Airway Swelling severity Palpation of tissues Maximal mouth opening Examination of dentition
49
What is the plan of intervention of a pedo head and neck infection in order? (4 things)
Urgent airway intervention Outpatient vs. inpatient Antibiotics Surgical intervention
50
What are the warning signs you should look for when evaluating a pedo pt with a head and neck infection?
Temp >101.5 F Elevated WBC Lymphadenopathy Poor oral intake Dehydration General appearance** (if they look lethargic you should get them into an inpatient setting quickly)
51
Where is the most common location for a mandibular fracture in pedo pts?
Subcondylar fracture
52
What are four questions you should ask when obtaining the history of a mandibular fracture?
Where does it hurt and what makes it hurt? Can you open your mouth? Do you have any loose teeth? Do your lips feel different? (Numbness is often the first sign of a fracture in the mandible)
53
What you do when you suspect a mandibular fracture?
Take a panorex CBCT If there is a mandibular fracture.. refer to OMS!!!**
