collect a sample of the specimen by inserting a large needle (18 gauge) into the infection.
(if it’s full of blood don’t continue)
place sample on aerobic and anaerobic culturettes and request a gram stain, aerobic and anaerobic cultures, and antibiotic sensitivity testing

what is the typical amount of time between treatment of an odontogenic infection and follow up appointments

A

2-3 days

43
Q

Define the sublingual space vs. submandibular space

44
Q

What is osteomyelitis

A

inflammation of the medullary part of the bone

45
Q

is osteomyelitis more common in the mandible than the maxilla

A

yes, due to relative differences in blood supply

46
Q

how is osteomyelitis treated

A

antibiotics or surgery (debridement or resection)

47
Q

What are bisphosphonates used to treat

A
IV: 
multiple myeloma
pagets disease 
and metastatic diseases
Oral: used to treat osteoporosis
48
Q

how do bisphosphonates work

A

they inhibit osteoclastic activity = decreased bone resorption

49
Q

how is MRONJ diagnosed

A

non-healing bony exposure in jaws for at least 8 weeks with current or former bisphosphonate use
without history of radiation to the jaw

50
Q

before beginning bisphosphonate use, what should a dentist tdo for their patients

A

plan any procedures involving bone prior to them beginning therapy
EXT, tori removal, alveoplasty

51
Q

What is stage 1 MRONJ and how is it treated

A

exposed and necrotic bone or fistula that probes to bone. no evidence of infection
antibacterial mouth rinse, 3 month follow up, pt education

52
Q

what is stage 2 MRONJ and how is it treated

A

exposed and necrotic bone or fistula that probes to bone. with signs of infection (pain, redness, pus)
Systemic treatment with oral antibiotics, antibacterial mouth rinse, pain control, debridement

53
Q

What is stage 3 MRONJ and how is it treated

A

exposed and necrotic bone or fistula that probes to bone. with signs of infection (pain, redness, pus) with one of the following: exposed bone beyond alveolus, pathologic fracture, extra-oral fistula, oral/antral/nasal communication
antibiotic therapy, pain control, antibiotic mouth rinse, surgical debridement/ressection

54
Q

What is a cytology biospy and how is it done

A

a cytology brush is rotated on the lesion 5-10 times to obtain cells from all 3 epithelial layers. the cells are transferred to a slide and fixed.
results are negative/positive/atypical
more biopsy for positive/atypical

55
Q

When are incisional biospies performed

A
lesions:
 > than 1 cm
polymorphic
suspicous for malignancy
anatomical area with high morbitiy
56
Q

when are excisional biopsies performed

A
lesions:
< 1 cm
vascular lesions
pigmented lesions
remove lesions and uninvolved tissues
57
Q

hard tissue biopsy steps

  2. FTMPF over sound bone
  3. avoid neurovascular structures
  4. 1mm of osseous tissue around lesion curetted
58
Q

fissural cyst vs. odontogenic cyst

touch
pressure

Q

what does increased blood supply to an area do to local anesthetic

why does marcaine (bupivicaine) have a long duration of action

A

it has high protein binding characteristics

Q

what affects an anesthetics duration of action

A

lipid solubility, protein binding

66
Q

what is the effect of pKa on local anesthetics
