Q

What are 3 principles of deciduous extractions?

A
  • the painless removal of the whole tooth or root with minimal trauma
  • to avoid injury to the soft tissues such as tongue, lips, gingiva and cheeks, support the mandible with non working hand as to avoid dislocation
  • to avoid injury to the underlying developing permanent teeth or adjacent teeth, leave retained roots due to permanent tooth being underneath and the potential for damage

Q

What are 4 differences between primary and permanent teeth?

A
  • size: primary teeth are smaller in every dimension compared to permanent counterparts
  • shape: crowns of primary teeth are more bulbous, furcation of primary molar root is positioned more cervically than in permanent teeth, roots are more slender
  • physiology: roots of primary teeth resorb naturally
  • support: the bone of the alveolus is more elastic in the younger patient

Q

What are 2 contraindications for primary extractions?

A
  • medical history
  • space maintenance: early extraction of primary teeth may result in drifting of the remaining teeth into the space created, thus prohibiting/ interfering with normal eruption of underlying permanent teeth

Q

What is the rule of 10?

A

the primary tooth to be anaesthetised is assigned a number from 1 to 5
a = 1
b = 2
c = 3
d = 4
e = 5
this number is added to the age of the child in years, if the number is less than 10, infiltration is most appropriate, if the number is over 10, an IDB is likely to be more effective

Q

What are 4 modifications to the extraction technique for children?

A
  • type of forceps: the beaks and handles are smaller, the beaks are more curved to accommodate the bulbous crowns of deciduous teeth
  • the wide splaying of the primary roots means that more expansion of the socket is required
  • due to the cervical position of the bifurcation in primary teeth, the beaks are not as long or placed as subgingivally (this also prevents damage/extraction to any developing permanent crown)
  • any small root fragments can be left in situ to resorb naturally or exfoliate

Q

What is the extraction technique for lower Ds and Es?

A

push forceps under gingiva, figure of 8 movement

26
Q

What is the extraction technique for upper molars?

A

push forceps under gingiva, start with the palatal root on the upper and swing palatal to buccal, pulling the tooth out buccally

27
Q

What are 4 roles of the non-working hand during XLAs?

A
  • retract soft tissues to allow visibility and access
  • protects the tissues if instrument slips
  • provides resistance to the extraction forces to prevent dislocation (mandible)
  • provides feel to the operator during the XLA to provide info about any resistance to removal
28
Q

What are the 2 steps following XLA?

A
  • pt should bite on gauze for 10-15 mins to arrest bleeding, firstly squeeze the socket with hands to shape the socket then place bite pack
  • check for satisfactory clot formation
29
Q

What post op instructions should be given to the patient following XLA?

A
  • particular emphasis on biting lip
  • avoid poking/probing with tongue/hands
  • do not rinse for first 24 hours
30
Q

What 5 post op instructions should be given to the parent following XLA?

A
  • reinforce instructions already given to child
  • not to eat or drink for first 2-3 hours post XLA; no hot drinks/hard foods for 24 hours
  • not to partake in vigorous exercise
  • pain relief, whatever the child usually takes, avoid aspirin
  • commence warm salt water rinses 24 hours post XLA
31
Q

What post op advice should be given to parents regarding primary haemorrhage?

A
  • some blood oozing from the XLA site is normal
  • advise parent that if heavy or persistent bleeding occurs the use of a handkerchief rolled into a sausage shape/cotton wool rolls at the site and get the child to bite on this firmly
  • if bleeding does not stop after 30-60 mins then contact the practice
32
Q

What are complications that may occur during XLA?

A
  • trauma to the soft tissues from XLA or lip biting whilst numb
  • loss of tooth or root (pt may have swallowed tooth, risk of aspiration)
  • fractured crown/root - if the crown fractures leaving the root or part of the root fractures and is retained in the socket, if visible use fine forceps/elevators to remove. If root not visible then leave to exfoliate or resorb naturally rather than risk damage to permanent successor - record in notes
  • haematoma - unusual in deciduous XLAs, when it does usually related to IDB
  • accidental extraction of permanent tooth - usually premolars following primary molar XLA, careful positioning of forcep beaks should prevent this, if it doe happen, the extracted premolar should be replanted (avoid touching the root surface) and patient and parent should be advised. Good chance of success esp. lowers and record in notes
  • dry socket - not common in deciduous XLAs
33
Q

What are 4 general contraindications to LA in children?

35mm

50
Q

What dose is sufficient for pulpal analgesia of most teeth in children?

A

0.5-1ml

51
Q

Thick buttress of bone may be present on the buccal aspect of maxillary posterior teeth, what method can be done to avoid this?

A

infiltrations mesial and distal to the first molar will usually produce adequate analgesia

52
Q

What is a maxillary molar block?

A

valuable when infiltration is not possible due to localised infection, produces profound analgesia of the primary/permanent molars
- the bolus of LA (1.5-2ml) is deposited below the mucosa distal to the zygomatic buttress (A), the LA is then massaged around the distal aspect of the maxilla into the infra temporal fossa (B) and blocking the posterior superior dental nerves

53
Q

What is a method used to reduce discomfort when giving a palatal infiltration?

A

inject buccally interdentally, depositing LA and then advance palatally via the buccal papilla, palate will blanch

54
Q

How does the anatomy differ in children when giving long buccal, mental and incisive nerve blocks?

A

the mental foramen faces anteriorly in children compared with posteriorly in adults

55
Q

What are 5 potential reasons for failure of local analgesia?

A
  • acute infection
  • incorrect site
  • insufficient LA drug
  • abnormal nerve supply
  • patient immaturity
56
Q

What are 5 other delivery systems for LA?

A
  • intraligamentary analgesia - caution
  • electronic analgesia
  • intraoral lidocaine patch
  • computerised local analgesia
  • needleless local analgesia
57
Q

What are 5 differences between primary and permanent dentition with XLAs?

A
  • size, smaller but roots form a proportionately greater part of the tooth
  • shape: more bulbous crown/roots more splayed
  • physiology, root resorption
  • support, elastic bone
  • presence of permanent teeth, leave small fragment in situ, avoid blind elevation
58
Q

What is the movement for extracting upper and lower anteriors?

A

clockwise and anticlockwise rotations

59
Q

What instrument can be used to extract a buccally placed primary upper canine?

A

coupland elevator

60
Q

What is the movement for extracting upper primary molars?

A

widely splayed roots - considerable expansion of the socket is required
- first movement of forceps is palatal, to expand the socket, then a continuous buccally directed force, which results in delivery

61
Q

What is the movement for extracting lower primary molars?

A

removed by buccolingual expansion of the socket
