PAEDS PERMANENT TRAUMA Flashcards
What feature of the occlusion doubles the incidence of dental trauma?
Overjet more than 9mm
What radiograph would you take to check for soft tissue laceration after a dental trauma?
Soft tissue radiograph
What might tooth mobility indicate post trauma?
- Displacement of tooth
- Root fracture
- Bone fracture
What does a trauma sticker have for examining a permanent tooth trauma
- Colour
- Sinus
- TTP
- EPT
- ECT
- P.note
- Mobility
- Radiograph
When there is a trauma to one tooth , what other teeth would you examine ?
Adjacent and opposing ones
How long should you continue sensibility testing after a dental trauma in a permanent tooth?
2 years
What 5 factors determine the prognosis following a dental trauma?
- Stage of root development
- Type of injury
- Presence of infection
- Time between injury and treatment
- Damage to PDL
3 aims of emergency treatment of trauma?
- retain vitality
- treat exposed pulp
- reduction of immobilisation
- tetanus prophylaxis
the aim of intermediate treatment of trauma?
- Restoration
the aims of permanent treatment of trauma?
- Apexigenesis
- Apexification
- root filling
- gingival and alveolar collar modifications
- coronal restoration
2 treatment options for enamel fractures?
- Bond fragment to tooth
- Smooth sharp edges
When would you follow up an enamel fracture?
6-8 weeks
6 months
1 year
Why would you take 2 PA radiographs for enamel fracture?
To rule out root fracture or luxation
Treatment options for enamel dentine fracture?
- Bond fragment
- Place composite bandage (line if close to pulp)
Prognosis of enamel fracture and enamel dentine fractures? and what would be the risk?
- 0%
- 5%
- Risk of pulp necrosis
You follow up an enamel dentine fracture after treatment , you take radiographs and carry out a trauma sticker , what 4 things would you look for on the radiograph?
- root development - width of canal and length
- compare tooth with contralateral
- check for internal or external inflammatory resorption
- check for periapical pathology
A child presents with enamel-dentine-pulp fracture , how would you evaluate the exposure?
- Size of pulp exposure
- Time since injury
- Associated PDL injuries
3 treatment options for managing enamel-dentine-pulp fractures?
- Pulp Cap
- Partial pulpotomy
- Full coronal pulpotomy
What two materials you can use for Pulpotomy?
- MTA
- Calcium hydroxide
When would you render for full extirpation?
When the tooth is clearly non-vital
When would you choose a direct pulp cap for complicated crown fractures?
- when there is a tiny exposure (1mm)
- time between treatment and trauma is less than 24h
- Vital tooth - no TTP and positive to sensibility testing
Describe in 4 points how you would carry a direct pulp cap?
- LA and rubber dam
- Clean area with water then disinfect with NaOCl
- Apply CaOH or MTA white to pulp exposure
- Restore with composite
When would you carry out a partial pulpotomy for an enamel-dentine-pulp fracture?
- Exposure more than 1mm
- more than 24 hours since trauma
in 4 steps explain how you would carry out a partial pulpotomy?
- La and dental dam
- Clean area with saline then disinfect with NaOCl
- Remove 2mm of pulp using high speed
- Place saline soaked CW over exposure until heamostasis achieved
- Apply CoOh and restore with composite
When would you proceed to a full pulpotomy when carrying out a partial pulpotomy?
- If no bleeding or cannot arrest bleeding
What is the success rate of a partial pulpotomy and a full coronal pulpotomy?
Partial 97%
Full 75%
If the tooth is not vital , what is the treatment option?
Full pulpectomy
What problem would encounter during pulpectomy of immature incisors?
- no apical stop to allow obturation with GP
3 treatment options to caary out a pulpectomy of immature incisors?
- CoOH placed in canal to induce apexification
- MTA or biodentine placed at apex of canal to create cement barrier
- Regenerative endodontics to encourage hard tissue formation
Explain how you would carry out a pulpectomy?
- Rubber dam and access using high speed
- haemorrhage control using LA or water
- Take diagnostic radiograph for WL
- Prepare canal 2mm short of estimated working length
- Dry canal and apply non setting calcium hydroxide and place CW in pulp chamber
- GI cement and evaluate CaOh using radiograph
How long would place CoOH in the canal?
4-6 weeks after identified non vital
After apexification induced by CoOH , how woud you obturate?
Using MTA plug and heated GP obturation
Permanent crown root fracture treatment options?
- XLA
- Remove fragement and restore
- Remove fragment and gingivectomy
- Orthodontic extrusion of apical portion
- Decoronisation
- Surgical extrusion
When would be the 3 steps in orthodontic extrusion of apical portion by endodontics for the management of crown root fractures?
- Endo
- Extrusion
- Post-Crown
When would fragment removal and gingivectomy be indicated for crown-root fractures?
- When there is a palatal subgingival extension
Why would you decoronate a tooth with crown root fracture?
To preserve bone for a future implant
Two types of trauma related to its nature that you should take into consideration?
Separation injury
Crushing injury
TTP for concussion?
no pain on percussion may still be TTP, no treatment required
when would you follow up a concussion?
4 weeks then 1 year
