Q

what is hypoplastic

A
  • reduced bulk or thickness of enamel
    • may be
  • true - enamel never formed - secretory phase hasnt worked but mineral content normal
  • aquired - post eruptive loss of enamel bulk

Q

pain mechanisms in MIH

A
  • dentine hypersensitivity - porous enamel of exposed dentine facilitates fluid flow within dentine tubules to activate As nerve fibres (hydrodynamic theory)
  • peripheral sensitisation - underlying pulpal inflammation leads to sensitisation of C-fibres
  • central sensitisation - from continued nociceptive input

Q

max dose LA children

A

Lignocaine max dose is 4.4mg/kg (a 10th of a cartridge per Kg). A 2.2ml cartridge of 2% lignocaine has 44mg of active agent
prilocaine 3% (with felypressin) max dose is 6mg/kg. (just less than a 10th of cartridfe per kg). A 2.2ml cartridge has 66mg

Q

disadvantages of unplanned primary molar extractions

A
  • loss of space causing increased risk of malocclusion
    • if E is extracted can be mesial drift of FPM resulting in space loss
  • decreased masticatory function
  • impeded speech development
  • psychological disturbance
  • trauma from anaesthesia/surgery

Q

indications for pads pulp treatment

A
  • good co-operation
  • medical history precludes extraction
  • missing permanent successor
  • over-riding necessity to preserve the tooth
    • eg. space maintainer
  • child under 9 years old

Q

what is a pulpotomy

A
  • removal of coronal pulp and maintain radicular pulp

evaluate bleeding after
- normal bleeding = healthy
-abnormal bleeding = pulp inflammation

  • restore with ZOE/caOH, then GIC then crown
22
Q

what is pulpectomy

A
  • remove radicular pulp and clean root canal system
    -obtuarate with material that will resorb at same rate as primary tooth and eliminated rapidly if extruded through pulp
23
Q

how to see failure of pulpotomy/pulpectomy

A
  • clinical failure (clinical review 6 monthly)
    • pathological mobility
    • fistula/chronic sinus
    • pain
  • radiographic failure (radiograph 12-18 monthly)
    • increased radiolucency
    • external/interal resorption
    • furcation bone loss
24
Q

what does survival of pulp depend on

A
  • associated periodontal ligament injury
  • extent of exposed dentine
  • age of the patient (open verses closed apex)
25
what is a FS
- a protective coating to seal fissures and pits - aim to prevent dental caries or prevent caries progression - usually bis GMA resin
26
what are indications for GI FS
- where good moisture control cannot be achieved - partially erupted molars - pre-cooperative - where there is a high degree of tooth sensitivity due to developmental or hereditary enamel defects - useful as release fluoride but are poorly retained and need regular reapplication
27
how to diagnose stained fissure
- visual (dry tooth) - probe/explorer - bitewing radiographs - electronic - fibre optic transillumination - CO2 laser - air abrasion
28
treatment of stained fissure
- if caries dont enter dentine provide fissure sealant and monitor - if diagnosis inconclusive it is prudent to clean stained fissure with small slow speed - if diagnostics show it is carious into dentine - restorative treatment needed - if lesion remains small a preventative resin restoration or sealant restoration can be given - small amount of composite then sealed with fissure sealant on top - if large then conventional composite restoration needed
29
appropriate time to remove FPM
- bifurcation of the lower 7 is seen to be forming on an OPT (typially around 8.5-10 years of age) - 5’s and 8’s are all present and in good position in the OPT - mild buccal segment crowding - class I incisor relationship
30
31
Calcification of crowns at birth (rough approximation)
1/2 of central incisors 1/3 of lat incisors Tip of primary canines 1/2 of First primary molars 1/3 of second primary molars Tips of cusps of FPM
32
When do teeth start to form
Week 5 intra uterine life
33
34
Possible theories behind tooth eruption
- cellular proliferation at apex of tooth -localised change in BP/hydrostatic pressure -metabolic activity within PDL -resorption of overlying hard tissue -follicle plays role in active tooth eruption
35
Order of eruption
Lower teeth first ABDCE
36
Dates of primary tooth eruption
Central (4-6 months) Lat incisors (7-16) 1st molar (13-19) Canine (16-22) 2nd molar (15-33)
37
When is primary dentition usually complete
2-3 years
38
Difference between primary and permanent crowns
- smaller in crown and root (primary) -primary molars wider mesiodistally and more bulbous Primary teeth usually whiter
39
What is present on 1st molars (anatomically )
Prominent mesiobuccal tubercle
40
Different between primary and permanent roots
Primary roots - narrower Roots are longer and more slender Tend to flare apically
41
Difference between primary and permanent pulps
Pulp chambers of primary teeth are larger Pulp horns extend high occlusally
42
Difference in primary and permanent hard tissue
Thickness of coronal dentine much thinner than permanent teeth Enamel is thin
43
What is primate spacing
- spacing medial to upper deciduous canine -spacing distal to lower deciduous canine
44
What is leeway space
Extra mesio-distal space occupied by primary molars 1.5mm on upper 2.5mm lower
45
When does mixed dentition phase begin
Begins from first permanent tooth erupts until exfoliation of last primary tooth 6-11
46
Eruption sequence of upper arch permanent
6, 1,2,4,5,3,78
47
Lower arch permanent eruption sequence
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8
48
Ages for permanent eruption dates
6s - 6 1 - 6-7 2- 7-8 3 - 9 lower 11 upper 4- 10 5 - 10 7 - 12
49
What is ugly duckling phase
Transient spacing of upper 1 due to close proximity of their roots to the erupting 2s and 3s
50
How long does it take for completion of root formation
From date of eruption 3 years for permanent tooth root to complete apex genesis
