Q

What is the purpose of having a vasoconstrictor in a cartridge of LA?

A
  • As it stops blood flowing out, it keeps the anaesthetic in the area
  • Stops blood flowing in, therefore better haemostasis
  • reduces haemorrhage
  • extended duration of pulpal analgesia

  • bactericidal
  • good restorative compatibility
  • Biocompatible with other materials
  • Doesn’t damage the pulp
  • Thermal/electrical insulator
  • Radiopaque
  • Doesn’t withstand pressure of amalgam therefore vitrebond has to be placed on top

Q

Explain the stages of a Stepwise procedure

A
  • for grossly carious cavities stepwise can be used
  • caries is removed in 2 steps. 6-12 mths apart
  • at the first visit access is gained, caries is removed, from periphery only and soft caries is left on the cavity floor, making sure the ADJ is clear
  • cavity is lined with CaOH ad restored and sealed well with GI
  • at the subsequent visit, on re-entry into cavity the dentine is found to be harder and drier with fewer microorganisms present (arrested)
  • a conventional restoration may then be placed

Q

How do you reduce the amount of amalgam in the final restoration?

A

The amalgam is vigorously packed, as this causes excess mercury to rise to the surface and can be carved away and discarded in a safe manner. This is why we always overfill!

  • is it bonded to the tooth
77
Q

how do we catergorise F/S?

A

How are they polymerised
- UV, self polymerised/chemical cure/self cure-light polymerised
Their colour
Filled or unfilled
- filled contain lithium alumina-silicate and increases abrasion resistance. it can create tooth wear on opposing teeth

78
Q

What are the clinical indications for doing F/S?

A
  • high caries risk
  • deep pits and fissures
  • limited manual dexterity
  • medically compromsied
  • tooth must be able to be isolated - biggest problem is if a sealant fails and part is retained
79
Q

What LA is the gold standard?

A

Lidocaine

80
Q

What LA can we not use on a pregnant lady?

A

Those that contain felypressin as this is related to oxytocin

81
Q

when should you restrict from using LA with adrenaline?

A

patients with cardiac problems e.g. unstable angina or severe dysrhythmias

82
Q

explain the technique of doing an infiltration

A

Identify site
dry with 3 in 1
apply topical on cotton wool roll
leave for 2 minutes
remove cotton wool
use mirror to retract soft tissues, hold taught
ensure bevel is facing bone
syringe at 45 degree angle to bone
gently insert needle until bone is contacted
withdraw needle slightly and aspirate
if clear aspiration, slowly inject solution
withdraw needle
massage site
should have anaesthesia of the tooth and labial tissues

83
Q

explain the technique of an IDB

A

get patient to open as wide as they can
identify pterygomandibular raphe
place supporting thumb in coronoid notch of ramus
inject needle half way between thumb and raphe
insert until bone is contacted (bevel facing operator)
withdraw needle by 1-2mm and aspirate
if no blood, start to slowly inject
leave a small amount to administer when withdrawing to catch the lingual nerve
key sign if its worked is a numb lower lip

84
Q

explain the technique of a long buccal nerve block

A

anterior and lateral to the anterior edge of the ramus
inject at the level of the occlusal surface of the most posterior molar

85
Q

explain the technique of a mental/incisive nerve block

A

palpate the mental foramen
apply topical to site
inject approximately 1cm towards the mental foramen

86
Q

why does anaesthesia of the upper jaw usually only require an infiltration?

A

the outer bone is covering the maxillary teeth and is usually quite thin and porous

87
Q

how do we overcome anaesthesia failure of the upper first molars?

A

as the zygomatic arch arises from the maxilla it can be obstructed
do 2 infiltrations mesially and distally of the first molar

88
Q

explain the technique to give a palatal injection?

A

apply pressure with the mirror to the area for several seconds prior to injection - “counter irritant” procedure
aim for equidistant point between median raphe and gingival margin of target tooth
inject a small amount slowly, blanching indicates anaesthesia has been achieved
caution must be taken to avoid injecting directly around the greater palatine foramen
avoid rugae

89
Q

why doe infiltrations not work so well in the lower molar region?

A

they are covered by a thick compact lamina bone which prevents diffusion of analgesic solution

90
Q

what are the 2 ways to anesthetise the lingual nerve?

A

by an infiltration just under the attached gingivae on the lingual aspect
interpapillary injection

91
Q

explain the technique of an interpapillary injection

A

injection of LA solution into soft tissue of the ID papillae
insert needle to the centre of the papilla near the crest of the bone
small amounts injected slowly
blanching confirms analgesia

92
Q

What POIG should you give regarding LA?

A

warn patient that they will feel numb for a few hours after tx with a gradual return to normal
this return may be accompanied with a tingling/itching feeling
lidocaine with adrenaline should give pulpal anaesthesia for 1 hr but soft tissues will be longer
try reduce trauma by avoiding drinking hot liquids and chewing of lips whilst numb
slight discomfort may be felt at injection site hours after

93
Q

why might analgesia fail?

A
  • individual patient variations - delayed anaesthesia/ anaesthesia active period is very short
  • intravascular injection - little or no anaesthetic affect as all is carried away in blood stream
  • intramuscular injection - inadequate anaesthesia
  • too little solution is used
  • injection into infection site - analgesics works best in alkaline conditions, it may spread infection
94
Q

If you penetrate too far with your needle during an IDB what can happen?

A

can risk injecting LA into parotid gland
block facial nerve
muscles of facial expression paralysed
loss of muscle tone - unilateral
unable to blink - risk of eye damage

95
Q

how would you manage facial nerve palsy?

A
  • reassurance
  • explain
  • provide eye patch
  • arrange review
  • document - what happened, what have you done?
  • unlikely to last longer than duration of LA - sometimes can but this is unusual
96
Q

What 4 nerves does an IDB catch?

A

Inferior alveolar nerve - pulpal anaesthesia to teeth 8-5
lingual nerve - branch of IAN - soft tissues to lingual gingivae and side of tongue
mental nerve - branch of IAN - soft tissues anaesthesia to buccal soft tissue 4-1
incisive nerve - branch of IAN - pulpal anaesthesia 4-1

97
Q

what are black’s principles relating to cavity form?

A

outline form
resistance form
retention form
treatment of residual caries
correction of enamel margins
cavity debridement

98
Q

what is outline form?

A
  • Dependent upon location of caries: either by direct access or by gaining access through another part of tooth (more destructive)
  • Traditionally- by cutting through overlying enamel (high speed handpiece and diamond bur)
99
Q

what is resistance form?

A
  • To enable the restoration and remaining tooth structure to withstand masticatory forces.
  • Cavity floor at right angle to the direction of the occlusal forces
  • Sufficient depth of material compatible with its physical properties
100
Q

what is retention form?

A

to retain the material in the cavity
forms:
- grooves in wall
- undercuts and occlusal keys
- use of acid etch and bonding agents
- dentine pins
- Retention need only be modified fornon-adhesive materials (e.g. amalgam)

101
Q

what is treatment of residual caries?

A
  • Always remove caries from enamel-dentine junction first, then move on to the base ofthe cavity
  • General rule of thumb –soft dentine is infected ,and should therefore be removed
  • Firm, but stained dentine in the base of the cavity can be left
  • Differing views onwhether stained but firm dentine should be removed from ADJ –general view – should be removed in anterior teeth if it will show through enamel
  • using a slow speed rose head bur
  • often finished with hand excavator
102
Q

what is correction of enamel margins?

A
  • Unsupported enamel is weak and prone to fracture
  • Can be splinted by adhesive materials
  • Remove weakened tooth substance
  • Facilitate placement of matrix retainers
  • Bevel to increase surface area for bonding
