Q

In order for a primary tooth to shed, the permanent tooth must be positioned ____

A

more or less above the root of the primary tooth and this positioning erodes the primary tooth’s root

what is in 3:1 mouth solution, KBX, magic mouthwash

A
  • helps w/ herpangina
  • The ingredients are 20cc each of the following: Benadryl, Maalox or Kaopectate, and may or may not include viscous lidocaine.
  • Benadryl: controls inflammation
  • maalox or kaopectate: a mucosal “band-aid” to keep salivary enzymes from irritating the lesions
  • viscous lidocaine: numbing agent.
  • Some providers prefer to leave out the viscous lidocaine due to possible toxicity in large quantities or numbing of the gag reflex.
  • have strict instructions about applying the mouth solution using only a Q-tip and only on lesions that can be easily reached (this excludes the pharynx).

Q

The two important points about primary care initial management of dental displacements is:

A

1) recognition that the peridontal ligament of a permanent tooth needs protection if the tooth is to be viable after treatment
2) there is a developing permanent tooth under a baby tooth that is displaced, which must be protected sometimes at the expense of the baby tooth
