Q

Recommendations for perinatal oral health(geared at expectant mothers)

A
  1. Oral health education
  2. Oral hygiene
    - periodontal infections can be a reservoir of inflammatory mediators like prostaglandin in GCF and blood

– associated with uterine contractions leading to preterm deliveries. However recent RCT did not support that treatment of perio dx during pregnancy prevents preterm birth, fetal growth restriction or preeclampsia.

  • pregnant females may have n/v – recommend rinsing with a cup of water with 1 t. baking soda and waiting an hour before brushing to minimize erosion
  • tb w/ fluoridated toothpaste, sugarfree or xylitol gum recommended
    3. Diet discussion
    4. Fluoride

– use fluoridated toothpaste and rinsing with alcohol-free, OTC mouthrinse with 0.05% NaF daily or 0.02% NaF twice a day

  1. Professional oral health care

– recalls, restoration of active caries to suppress/reduce maternal MS reservoirs and minimize transfer of MS to infant

  1. DELAY OF COLONIZATION is ultimate goal
    - maternal MS levels are related significantly to MS colonization in plaque as well as dental caries in their children

Q

Ways to suppress maternal MS reservoirs include…

A
  • dietary counseling, - reducing frequency of simple carb intake, - rinsing daily w/ CHX and fluoride starting 6th month of pregnancy, - removing and restoring active caries, - chewing xylitol-containing gum (at least 2x/day, demonstrated significant impact on mother-child transmission of MS and decreased child’s caries rate), - delaying MS transmission by avoiding behaviors that directly pass saliva to the child like sharing utensils or cups, cleaning dropped pacifier by mouth, etc. The higher the levels of maternal MS, the greater the risk of the infant being colonized. Maternal OH, perio disease, snack frequency, and SES also are associated with infant colonization.

Q

When does MS colonization of an infant occur

Q

Caries rate is declining, yet remains highest during what period?

Adolescence immature permanent tooth enamel, a total increase in susceptible tooth surfaces, environmental factors (diet, independence to seek care or avoid it, low priority for OH) and additional social factors may contribute to an upward slope of caries during adolescence

Q

Adolescents have a (higher/lower) prevalence of gingivitis than pre-pubertal children or adults.

Higher due to rise of sex hormones during adolescence → affects composition of the subgingival microflora

Other studies suggest circulating sex hormones may alter capillary permeability → increased fluid accumulation in the gingival tissues

FDA’s five categories of pregnancy drugs

A

B: no evidence of risk to humans (animal studies show no risk to fetus but no human studies, OR animal studies show risk to fetus but human studies do not)

C: may be used with caution (aspirin) (no adequate animal or human studies have been conducted, or adverse fetal effects shown in animals but no human data available); potential benefits may justify the potential risk D and X: not intended for use during pregnancy

D: evidence of human fetal risk exists, but benefits outweigh risks in certain situations like life-threating disorders; e.g. TetracyclineX: proven fetal risks outweigh any possible benefit A and B considered acceptable for use during pregnancy

Q

What is “active surveillance” of caries?

A

Active surveillance (Prevention therapies and close monitoring) of enamel lesions is based on the concept that txof disease may only be necessary if there is disease progression, that caries progression has diminished over recent decades, and that the majority of proximal lesions, even in dentin, are not cavitated.

3.1 days out of 100 students due to acute dental problems

90
Q

Why does the AAPD oppose the practice of piercing intraoral and perioral tissues and use of jewelry on such tissues?

A

Potential for pathological conditions and sequelae
jewelry: may lead to increased plaque levels
gingival inflammation
gingival recession
caries
diminished articulation
metal allergy

piercings: associated with pain, infection
scar formation
tooth fractures
metal hypersensitivity rxns
localized perio dx
speech impediment
nerve damage

91
Q

Under what circumstances does the AAPD support ITR?

A
  • Restore and prevent progression of dental caries in young patients, uncooperative patients, patients with SHCN, situation where traditional restorative tx not feasible
  • caries control in children with multiple carious lesions prior to definitive restoration of teeth
  • in erupting molars when isolation conditions are not optimal for a definitive restoration
  • patients with active lesions prior to treatment performed under GA
92

A

ART endorsed by WHO and IADR is a means of restoring and preventing caries in populations that have little access to traditional dental care;
functions as definitive tx

93
Q

False
There is no difference in caries rate or fluoride uptake

Plaque and pellicle are NOT a barrier to fluoride uptake in enamel.

A

3-60g of xylitol per day

Common side effects are gas and osmotic diarrhea.
To minimize, introduce xylitol slowly over a week or more (to acclimate the body to the polyol).

95

A

4-10g/day into 3-7 consumption periods

96
Q

How much xylitol needed for clinical effect?

A

3-8g/day - not to exceed 8g/day,
minimum of two times/day

(per the AAPD Guideline on Xylitol Use)

97
Q

Xylitol forms

A

Syrup (recommended for <4 y.o.)

AAP does not recommend use of chewing gum, mints, or hard candy by children less than 4 years of age (choking risk)

Many commercially available products with xylitol (gum, mints, foods, nasal sprays, OH products) may not contain the necessary therapeutic level or xylitol as the only sweetener

98
Q

What ways does xylitol affect strep mutans?

A
  1. reduces plaque formation and MS adhesion to teeth (antimicrobial)
  2. inhibits enamel demineralization via reducing acid production of MS (reduces virulence)
  3. has a direct inhibitory effect on MS (disrupts energy production process of MS, leading to futile energy consumption cycle and cell death)
  4. creates a MS mutant that sheds more easily into saliva, reducing the amount of MS in plaque
