general rule of eruption
lowers before uppers (except primary canines)
permanent eruption sequence:
6 years - all 6s, lower centrals
7 years - upper centrals, lower laterals
8 years - upper laterals
11 years - lower canines, all first premolars
12 years - rest - upper canines, all second premolars and second molars
4 functions of primary dentition
- reserve space for permanent
- development speech
- ease mastication
- healthy start to permanent dentition
contraindications to duraphat
ulcerative gingivitis or stomatitis or known sensitivity to colophony (1-7%)
not for ingestion during application
not for systemic Tx
on day of application other F preparations should not be used (e.g. gels) and routine regiments of F tablets should be suspended for several days after Tx
adverse reactions to duraphat
- oedematous swellings reported in rare instances
- attacks of dyspnoea in extremely rare asthmatics
- nausea in sensitive stomachs
remove by brushing and rinsing in cases of intolerance
duraphat is
5% sodium fluoride solution
indication for F varish
hypersensitiy Tx
caries prevention
most beneficial caries prevention
topical F application /varnish (more than systemic ingestion)
F varnish works in 3 ways
slows down development of carious lesions by stopping demineralisation - SLOWS CARIES PROGRESSION
makes enamel more resistant to acid attack from plaque bacteria and speeds up remineralisation, does so with F so more strong/less soluble - CARIES ARRESTING
stops bacteria metabolism at high concentrations - CARIES INHIBITING
4 properties of topical fluoride
desensitising
water tolerant
adherent
sets in presence of saliva
method of application of topical fluoride
remove gross plaque
remove excess moisture from teeth with cotton wool roll or air syringe
apply first to lower arch where saliva collects more rapidly
dispense correct amount of duraphat into dappens dish (0.25-0.5ml per application/mouth)
apply sparingly in thin layer - do not need to use all
paint varnish onto dry, isolated teeth with microbrush
dental floss can be used to ensure varnish reaches interproximal areas
advice to parents after topical fluoride application
avoid eating or drinking for at least one hour (longer period more beneficial)
eat soft foods for rest of day
brush teeth as normal
do not take F supplement on day of application
makes teeth appear yellow but will wear off with eating and brushing
safely tolerated F dose STD
STD
dose below which symptoms fo F toxicity are unlikely to occur
1mg/kg
potentially lethal F Dose PLD
PLD
lowest dose associated with fatalisty
5mg/kg
certainly lethal F dose CLD
CLD
survival after consuming is unlikely
32-64mg/kg
how many application per cartidge of childsmile duraphat
cartridge = 1.6ml
recommend 0.25-0.5ml per application
so 6 applications of 0.25ml for 3-5 year olds in cartridge
F in 0.5ml duraphat
11.3mg
F in 0.25ml duraphat
5.65mg
F in 1.6ml cartridge duraphat
35.84mg
estimated F toxic dose
5.15mg/kg
estimated F toxic dose for 10kg child
50mg F
estimated F toxic dose for 15kg child
75mg F
estimated F toxic dose for 20kg child
100mg F
symptoms and signs of F overdose
F fast absorbed from stomach
nausea and vomitting, diarrhoea and abdominal pain
excessive salivation, abnormal taste, tremors, weakness and convulsions
shallow breathing and nervous system shock
management of F toxicity
<5mg/kg
Give calcium orally (milk) and observe for a few hours
management of F toxicity
5-15mg/kg
Give calcium orally (milk, calcium gluconate, calcium lactate) and admit to hospital
management of F toxicity
>15mg/kg
Admit to hospital immediately, cardiac monitoring and like support, intravenous calcium gluconate
rule for toothbrushing
spit don’t rinse
toothpaste for less than 3 years old
smear
1000ppmF
toothpaste for 3-9 years old
pea size
1350-1500ppmF
1450ppmF for high risk - any age
toothpaste for 10 years+
2800ppmF (less likely to swallow)
toothpaste for 16+ high risk
5000ppmF
fluoride varnish strength
22600ppmF
roughly 20x stronger than toothpaste
