What is the antibiotic of choice for children who cannot take oral medications?
Ampicillin is given intravenously or intramuscularly in a dose of 50mg/kg, 30-60 minutes before dental treatment.
What antibiotic is given for prophylaxis if a child has a penicillin allergy and can take oral medications?
Azithromycin is given in a dose of 15mg/kg, 30-60 minutes before dental treatment.
What antibiotic is used for prophylaxis if patients do not have a penicillin allergy and can take oral medications?
Amoxicillin is given in a dose of 50mg/kg, 30-60 minutes before dental treatment.
Is Clindamycin recommended for antibiotic prophylaxis in patients with a penicillin allergy?
Clindamycin is no longer recommended for antibiotic prophylaxis for patients with an allergy to penicillin.
> 2mm
<2mm OAC what happen
OACs smaller than 2 mm should spontaneously close and do not require surgical intervention.
If an OAC is greater than 2 mm, primary closure should be obtained by suturing the extraction socket or placing graft material in the area of the exposure
Symtoms of maxillary sinusitis
pain and pressure in the face,
nasal congestion,
nasal discharge,
fatigue,
fever.
Symptoms of nasopalatine duct cyst
Symptoms of nasopalatine duct cysts include edema, drainage, and pain.
what is a nasopalatine cyst
expansion of the anterior hard palate at the midline posterior to the maxillary central incisors.
The region is usually fluctuant on palpation and presents as a well-defined radiolucency on an occlusal radiograph.
Characteristic ofResidual Cyst
asymptomatic,
well-defined,
unilocular radiolucency at the site of a previously-extracted tooth.
Relatively rare inflammatory cyst caused by fibrous and granulation tissue left in the socket after an extraction.
Other causes of OAC
Enucleation of tumors and cysts
Orthognathic surgery
Trauma
Pathological lesions
Implant placement
What is mucositis
Radiation can damage the cells lining the mouth and throat, leading to inflammation and ulceration,
This can be painful and affect eating, speaking, and swallowing
Salivary Gland Dysfunction in radiation
highly sensitive to radiation. Radiation damage can reduce saliva production, causing dry mouth or xerostomia, which increases the risk of cavities and oral infections.
Fibrosis in radiation
Radiation can cause tissue damage and lead to the formation of fibrous tissue, resulting in stiffness and reduced function in the affected areas.
Periodontal Disease in radiation
The changes in saliva and mucosa, combined with immune suppression from radiation, can increase the risk for periodontal disease, which is an infection and inflammation of the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
