Q

when is the hall technique suitable

Q

proximal surface using icon

A

alternative method for placing resin infiltration into proximal enamel lesions to stop demineralisation from progressing is to use Icon (specially designed kit) which involved isolating, etching, using ethanol to dry out the pores that have been created and then flowing unfilled low viscosity resin into the pores blocking them

Q

ART

A

may not require LA as sound dentine not removed
uses hand instrumentation i.e. excavator to prep cavity then place rest using GI
clean cavity using wet cotton pellet as 3 in 1 will overly dry dentine
high viscosity GI used as conventional has a high failure rate

17
Q

stepwise caries removal

A

used if risk of pulpal involvement
step 1 -> gain access, remove superficial caries (enough to allow effective marginal seal to be obtained with bonded adhesive restoration)
temp rest will inhibit further progression of residual caries whilst allowing reactionary dentine to be laid down
step 2 -> typically carried out 6-12mths later by accessing the cavity & restoring the tooth; increased distance of the pulp from the carious lesion reduced chance of pulpal exposure when removing all the caries & providing permanent rest

Q

technique for primary molar pulpotomy

A
  1. LA & rubber dam
  2. large access cavity & removal of entire roof of pulp chamber
  3. remove contents of pulp chamber using slow speed / sharp excavator
  4. irrigate with water from 3in1; avoid use of compressed air which could cause surgical emphysema
  5. identify entrances to root canals:
    - maxillary 1o molars have 3 canals (2 buccal 1 palatal)
    - mandibular 1o molars have 2 canals (mesial & distal)
  6. if still bleeding arrest via soaked CW pellet in ferric sulfate
  7. if cannot be arrested or canals found to be necrotic consider pulpectomy / xla
  8. remove CW & place MTA or similar material in pulp chamber. alternatively, ZOE cement may be placed on pulp stumps & floor of pulp chamber
  9. fill with ZOE cement & place PMC

Q

why consider balancing xla

A

to minimise centreline shift & maintain symmetry of developing occlusion

24
Q

consider balancing xla when (3)

A
  1. one C to be xla
  2. one C exfoliated prematurely due to eruption of permanent lateral incisor
  3. centre line shift is developing following xla of one D
25
Q

to reduce discomfort of LA use (4)

A
  1. topical anaesthesia
  2. distraction technique
  3. very slow injection technique i.e. taking at least 60secs for infiltration
  4. intra papillary injection rather than palatal
26
Q

normal healthy enamel visually

A

> 98% mineralised so almost transparent

27
Q

caries affected enamel visually

A

white appearance - acidic solutions from cariogenic plaque biofilm / acid etching solution preferentially dissolve prism sheaths in enamel creating pores which refract the light reflecting it back instead of letting it pass through
if enamel layer affected lesion is matt, opaque, chalky white

28
Q

anterior carious lesions visually

A

when using transmitted light, lesions will appear dark compared to healthy adjacent enamel due to light being blocked

29
Q

if caries in dentine visually

A

particularly in proximal lesions
surface layer of enamel may appear unaffected & still transparent
but lesion appears opalescent white (like mother of pearl / translucent plastic)
tends to be associated with underlying infected dentine & dentinal carious lesions

  • location of defects in order of severity: smooth surface, occlusal surface/incisal edge, cuspal involvement
  • sensitivity from brushing or to temperature
  • atypically shaped restorations
  • any patient reported symptoms
