Q

Dental history

A

How were teeth lost ? - caries, Periodontal disease, trauma
Congenitally missing teeth
How long have teeth been missing
Edentulous or partially endentulous
Prior restorative attempts

17
Q

What are we trying to establish when asking the pt about their dental history?

A

Their Dental IQ
Hoping it is high, they fully understand the risks and benefits

18
Q

Physical exam

A

Jaw opening
Muscles of mastication tenderness
Skeletal jaw relationships (skeletal class)
Health of remaining dentition if present
Soft tissue pathology
Inter-arch space for prosthesis
TMJ issues

19
Q

Physical exam/palpation

A

Width of keratinized gingiva
Contour of labial bone
Contour of lingual/palatal bone
Width of bony ridge
Contour of mylohypid ridge, undercuts
Presence/absence of tori

20
Q

Clinical exam

A

Vital signs
Dental implants are a restorative option with surgical implications - this is surgery

21
Q

Inadequate quantity of bone options

A
  1. Increase quantity = grafting
  2. Reposition the nerve
22
Q

Sinus evaluation options

A

Sinus bump/elevation augmentation
Sinus lift augmentation
With or without simultaneous implant placement

23
Q

Esthetic zone

A

Smile line!
High smile line= difficult
Low smile line = less difficult
These cases are always more challenging than posterior

24
Q

Radiographic work up

A

Periapical films
Panorex
Lateral ceph
CBCT (CT scan)

25
Q

What are we looking at with radiology?

A

Amount of bone - quantity
Type of bone - quality
Position of bone
Proximity to structures
Pathology of jaws
Anatomical variations

26
Q

Diagnostic wax ups

A

Can show feasibility of planned restoration
Can be used for surgical guides
Needed from more complex restorative cases
Start with desired restoration, then work backwards if possible

27
Q

Take home points of assessment

A

Understand pts goals
Discuss all options
Thorough history and physical
Start simple, dont be afraid to say no
