Q

Discuss Inflammatory Internal Resorption and Replacement Internal Resorption

A

Inflammatory Internal Resorption
- Mechanism
— giant cells destroy infected tissue + resorb bone
— tooth vital; nerve may be damaged
- Transient (reversible)
— following giant cell resorption stems cells differentiate -> odontoblasts
Permanent (non-reversible)

Replacement Internal Resorption

  • tissue replaced by bone
  • stem cells -> osteoblasts

Q

Discuss types of external resorption

A

Surface

  • self-limiting, transient

  • spontaneous healing

Inflammatory

  • expand: root + bone resorption
  • necrotic pulp constant stimuli for inflammation + osteoclast activity

Replacement

  • resorbed root replaced by bone
  • remodelling removes some tooth tissue
  • Transient (arrested) + Permanent (progressive)

Supervision: child, pet
Non-contact sport
Education
- parents, caregiver, school
- 1ry care for traumatised teeth
- management for avulsed teeth

Q

Signs of dentinogenesis imperfecta

A

Amber/grey/opalescence
Bulbous crowns (SSC difficult)
Wear easily: no scalloped EDJ so enamel chips, req. SSC
Pulpal obliteration

16
Q

Important differentiating factor b/w dentinogenesis and amelogenesis imperfecta

A

Dentinogenesis imperfecta affects 1ry teeth worse than permanents whereas amelogenesis affects both equally

17
Q

Classification of enamel defects

A

Genetic
Environmental
Idiopathic

18
Q

Classification of amelogenesis imperfecta

A

1: Hypoplastic
2: Hypomaturation
3: Hypocalcified
4: Hypomaturation/Hypoplasia/Taurodontism

19
Q

Discuss hypoplastic AI

A
Malfunction of enamel matrix formation 
Enamel abnormal thickness: v thin, sometimes absent 
Hard + translucent 
Chips easily 
Random pits + grooves
- black staining w/ CHX Tx

X-ray: normal

20
Q

Discuss hypomaturation AI

A

Mild defect of protein processing + crystalline growth

Normal thickness
Less hard cf T1
Wears easily

X-ray: similar to dentine

21
Q

Discuss hypocalcified AI

A

Severe defect initial crystalline mineralisation + calcification

Normal thickness; v brittle
Opaque/chalky appearance
Prone to staining + v rapid wear

X-ray: less radiopaque cf dentine

22
Q

Discuss T4 AI

A

Varied appearance w/ features from T1+2

All: taurdontism, sensitivity

23
Q

Why can enamel be affected by the environment?

A

Ameloblasts v sensitive to environment

  • O2 levels
  • specific concentrations of ions
24
Q

Types of environmental enamel defects

A

Tetracycline staining
Hyperbilirubinaemia
Fluorosis
Chronological hypoplasia

25
Q

Discuss tetracycline staining

A

Chelates Ca2+, incorporates into teeth
Initially: dentine yellow-green, visible through enamel
Later: tetracycline oxidises -> brown

Don’t prescribe: <12y, pregnant mothers

26
Q

Affect of hyperbilirubinaemia on teeth

A

Bilirubin can be taken into teeth where becomes trapped

Yellow/blue-green staining

27
Q

Discuss fluorosis + chronological hypoplasia

A
Fluorosis 
- excessive fluoride intake 
— fluoridated H2O mainly Somalia 
- mild: opaque white flecks 
- severe: hypoplastic patches -> brown/black staining 
- check MH: older children/siblings 

Chronological hypoplasia

  • 1ry dentition
  • lines/rings missing enamel
  • symmetrical
  • Tx: flowable, if O affected -> onlay
28
Q

What is MIH?

A

Molar incisor hypomineralisation
Idiopathic cause of enamel defects

Characterised by:

  • hypomineralisation of 1-4 of 6s
  • associated w/ opacities on Is
29
Q

A

White-cream/yellow-brown demarcated opacities
Sensitive
Atypical restorations; cusp tips > fissures

Asymmetric

Ms
- opacities porous
- post-eruptive breakdown + caries
- confused w/ AI hypoplasia
— chipped enamel sharp cf smooth for hypoplasia
30
Q

Tx aims for MIH/enamel defects

A

Improve aesthetics
Red. sensitivity
Prevent wear/breakdown
- maintain arch length + OVD

31
Q

Tx options for ant. teeth w/ enamel defects

A
Accept/none

Infiltration 
Comp
Porcelain veneer
32
Q

Discuss enamel micro-abrasion and infiltration Tx

A

Microabrsion

  • indications: fluorosis, mild defects
  • remove 100um enamel (removes opacity)
  • post-Tx: white F toothpaste, avoid staining 48h

Infiltration (ICON)

  • resin infiltrate
  • indications: MIH
  • contraindications: AI
33
Q

Management of MIH in post. teeth

A
XLA
Consider
- severity/symptoms 
- part of generalised condition 
- developmental age (ideal time for XLA)
- crowding
- skeletal relationships 
- hypodontia
34
