6s
name given to the space between teh upper central incisors
midline diastema
what has caused the space between upper centrals here?
low frenal attachment
what is the likely cause of the general appearance of the lower centrals?
fluorosis
how is fluorisis likely to have arisen
excess ingestion of fluoride during development of the teeth
what permanent teeth are likely to be affected by fluorisis
upper central and lateral incisors
lower central and lateral incisors
canines
first premolars
second premolars
first molars
3 tx options for lower central incisors
microabrasion
composite restorations
strip crowns
which primary teeth are still present
55 (upper right E)
54 (upper right D)
53 (upper right C)
63 (upper left C)
age?
10/11/12 year old
tx option for retained primary teeth on RHS
extract
caries risk category for this pt
and why
high risk
- existing restorations
- new carious lesions
- early loss of primary tooth (upper left D, 64)
radiographs would you take to futher investigate caries in posterior teeth
bitewings
if no caries radiographically in 6s, which preventative tx would you give them
fissure sealants
caries risk category for pt and why
high risk
- existing restorations in lower right E and D and lower left D (85, 84, 74)
- buccal swelling adj to lower right E (85)
- new carious lesion in lower left E (75)
which teeth have been temporised
84 and 85
what is erupting distal to 85 and when does this usually erupt
46
6 years old
what preventative tx would you give 46 when erupted
fissure sealant
give F preparationsa and doses suitable for this pt who lives in an area with less than 0.3ppm F in drinking water
- fluoride toothpaste 1450ppm (high risk)

- fluoride tablets, 1mg
primary teeth still present
55, 53
63, 65
which primary teeth have been extracted early
54
64
name given to forward movement of teeth into extraction site
mesial drift
caries risk category for pt and why
high risk
- early loss/extraction of primary molars
- exisiting restorations
- new carious lesions
radiographs needed to investigate caries in posterior teeth
bitewings
bitewings showed minimal caries in 26 - what type of restoration would you place
preventative resin restoration
primary teeth still present
75
85
caries risk categroy and why
high risk
- exisiting restorations
- new carious lesions
- early loss/extraction of primary teeth
what age do premenent premolars erupt
10/11 years

- F mouthwash 250ppm
classify injury sustained to upper right central and lateral incisors (12 and 11)
luxation/extrusion
likely due to trauma
in what type of malocclusion is injury to the upper anterior teeth most likelyto occur?
Class II div 1
what type of splint and for how long?
flexible
2-4 weeks
OH advice to give this pt before they leave surgery
- don’t brush for the first day
- use a soft toothbrush after the first day
- use CHX for first 7 days
3 ways to monitor traumatised teeth long term
- colour
- percussion
- vitality testing - EPT, ethyl chloride
classify injury to 11
enamel and dentine fracture
likely due to trauma
material used to restore 11
composite resin or copomer
4 ways to monitor 11 long term
- radiographs
- colour
- percussion
- vitality testing - EPT, ethyl chloride
other non-carious disease evident on anterior teeth (non-trauma)
and eg causative agents
non carious tooth surface loss
- carbonated (fizzy) drinks
- fruit juice
- fruit (oranges, lemons)
- acid gastro-intestinal reflux
