aims of primary dentition trauma management
presevre integrity of permanent successor and presver primary tooth where possible
aims of permanent trauma management
preserve vitality of tooth to allow root maturation and resotre crown to prevent function and aesthetic problems

immunocompromised child,
immature lower incisors,
other more serious/concerning injuries that required treatment

primary tooth features
4
Thinner enamel,
larger pulp horns,
broad contact points/areas,
bulbous crowns,
cervical constriction
leeway space
extra mesio-distal space occupied by primary molars which are wider than the permanent premolars that will replace them. Ideally 1.5mm upper and 2.5mm lower
mixed dentition
from when first permanent tooth erupts until the last primart tooth exfoliates
3 aims of paediatric dentistry
develop and maintain an intact, healthy, functional and aesthetic primary and permanent dentition (as few restored teeth as possible)
free from pain and infection (no active caries)
positive attitude towards future dental care
Caries risk assessment
7
clinical evidence
dietary habits
social history
fluoride use
plaque control
saliva
medical history
caries risk prevention components
7
radiographs - regular (6months high risk)
fluoride varnish
fluoride toothpaste
OHI
diet advice
fissure saelants
f supplements
early childhood caries
due to frequent sugar intake and/or reduced saliva flow (prolonged breast feeding, overnight use of drinking cups/bottles - juice, sugar medication)
upper incisors, first primary molars affected. Lower incisors protected by tongue and saliva
fluroide conc toothpastes and ages
1000ppmF (smear <3yrs old for low risk children)
1350-1500ppmF (<3yrs old for high risk children; all kids >4yrs old)
2800ppmF (0.619% NaF TP - high risk kids >10yrs)
5000ppmF (1.1% NaF TP - high risk individuals >16yrs. Not suitable for kids)
potentially lethal dose F
probable lethal dose F
how to manage
5mg/kg
15mg/kg
<5mg/kg - oral calcium (milk) and observe for few hours
>5mg/kg - oral calcium and go to A&E
fluorosis
long term excessive consumption of fluoride
causes a diffuse mottled pattern on teeth - varies to severe pitting and discolouration
tx - micro abrasion, composite masking
risks early loss primary teeth
space loss
crowding
risk early loss of permanent 6s
rotation and mesial drift 7s
distal drift of 5s
fissure sealant materials
Bis GMA (resin) or GIC
GIC used for poor moisture control, pre cooperative child, has a poorer retention
why fissure seal
material used to provide a barrier to fissure system to prevent caries development
seals fissures so food and debris cannot get caught in them
issues with Stainless Steel crowns
post placment
conventional
Rocking - cervical margin >1mm beyond max curvature
Canting - due to uneven occlusal reduction
Hall crown technqieu
no caries removal and no LA or tooth prep
seals caries in until tooth exfloiates (biological methods)
indications for Hall
2
asymptomatic
no clinical/radiographic signs of pulpal involvement
hall crown procedures
place ortho separators (3-5days)
remove separators
select cwon - check size against tooth but do not seat
fit with GIC - set until contact point engage and ask pt to bite on cotton wool on top
extrude excess GIC
POIG
major failures of Hall crowns
irreverisble pulpitis
abscess
interradicular radiolucency
resotraiton loos and tooth unrestorable
minor failures of hall crown
secondary caries
restoration loss but intervention possible (resotrable)
reversible pulpitis
aims of pulpotmies
stop/control bleeding
disinfect tooth
persever vitality of apical portiuon of radicualr pulp
indication for pulpotomies
Carious/traumatic exposure of bleeding pulp,
marginal pulpal inflammation,
reversible pulpitis, c
aries extending >2/3 into dentine radiographically
signs of pulpotomy failure
Clinical - pathological mobility, fistula/chronic sinus, early exfoliation, pain
Radiographic - increased radiolucency, root resorption, furcation bone loss
aim of behaviour management
To ease fear and anxiety, improve cooperation and promote understanding of the need for good dental health
fear
A normal emotional response to objects/situations perceived as genuinely threatening
anxiety
Occurs without a triggering stimulus present and may be due to unknown danger/previous negative experiences
phobia
A clinical mental disorder that interferes with daily life. Subjects display persistent/extreme fear of objects and/or situations and may demonstrate avoidance behaviour.
behaviour management strategies
7
- Positive reinforcement (praise good behaviour)
- Tell-show-do (explain what you will be doing, show the child the instruments, etc., perform procedure on child)
- Acclimatisation (planned, sequential introduction of environment, people, instruments and procedures)
- Desensitisation (gradual exposure to new stimuli or experiences of increasing intensity)
- Distraction,
- role modelling,
- relaxation/hypnosis/CBT
factors influencing childs behvaiour
4
- Understanding, emotional development,
- previous adverse dental/medical experiences,
- attitudes and previous experiences of family/peers,
- behaviour of the dental team
signs of DFA
Thumb-sucking, nail-biting, nose-picking, fidgeting, clumsiness, stuttering, hiding, dizziness, stomach pain, headache, needing toilet, asking questions
general anaesthsia definintion
Any technique (using equipment or drugs) which produces a loss of consciousness and/or abolition of protective reflexes in specific situations associated with medical or surgical interventions
aims of GA in dentistry
Atraumatic induction,
completion of comprehensive or traumatic dental treatment,
elimination of pain and infection,
establish basis for continued preventive care, short and uncomplicated recovery
stages of GA
Induction, excitement, surgical anaesthesia, respiratory paralysis/overdose
adv of GA
Patient completely still,
improved access and vision,
multiple procedures can be undertaken,
no response to pain,
rapid onset of action
