How many microsieverts does bitewing produce?
5

- Physical disorders: Oral Muscular - physical oro-motor disorders like mutism or dysphonia
- Intellectual delay and disability
What are the oral side effects after radiotherapy?
- Impaired quality and quantity of saliva
- Radiation caries
- Trismus
- Xerostomia
- Dysphagia
What should you do with mobility 2 teeth before primary impressions?
Splint them
What is a dry socket?
Absence of blood clot in the socket post extraction (socket is either empty or full of debris)
What are some social determinants of health?
- economic stability
- Physical environment
- Education
- Food
What are the steps of drawing a denture design?
Cross teeth not to replce
Outline denture saddles
Decide & draw clasp units and clasp types
Decided major connector
Decide denture base and denture teeth
Join all components together
Draw saddles
Draw support and draw major connectors
Indicate abutmnet tooth/teeth
Draw rests and clasp
Draw flanges (gum fitted vs buccal flange)
Specify/draw the extension of the denture
Tutor signature
What is pericoronitis?
It is a localised infection in gingival tissue and mucosa surrounding a partially erupted tooth. Patient complain of a sore tooth. Explain to patient that pain actually arises from infection and inflammation in the soft tissues surrounding the tooth and not the tooth itself.
When should you consider antibiotic for periodotal treatment in non-acute patient?
A young patient in stage 3 or 4 Grade B or C in adjunct to periodontal treatment.
What is a primary impression?
It is an initial impression taken using a stock tray and alginate impression material. Used to produce study models
What is the treatment for periodontal abcess?
1.Debridement under LA and draining of the pus if patient can tolerate. If they can not tolerate, give LA, drain the pus and give antibiotics and recall in 3 days.
2.Irrigate area with Betadine (povidone-iodine antiseptic)
3.Chlorhexidine mouth rinse twice daily for a week
4.Investigation of causative factors
- If systemic symptoms exist – amoxicillin 500mgs tds+ metronidozole (very important for your anaerobic bacteria) 400 mgs bs x 5-days. You need to debride prior to this as the antibiotic will not be able to penetrate the biofilm througb the crevicular fluid!
How do you examine at radiographic boney lesions?
1.Location
2.Margin – well-defined or illdefined
3.Zone of transition – short or long
4.Periosteal reaction
5.Internal matrix
6.Single vs multiple
7.Relationships to the joints
8.Effect on soft tissue
What is the purpose of overall impression?
For denture repair
What are the consideration for regeneration?
- Defect size and topography. 3 wall defects are the most stable for regeneration.
- Defect cause
- Technical difficulties. Access or patient factors.
- Predictability. Always tell the patient the success rate. Grade 3 mobility, probably not the best idea.
What are the features of non-aggressive lesions?
1.Well-defined margin
2.Often schlerotic border
3.Short zone of transition
4.Little or no periosteal reaction
5.Bone often thinned and/or expanded
6.Minimal effect on soft tissues
What is pressure resorption and orthodontic resorption?
Type of traumatic resorption that occurs due to impacted teeth or orthodontic treatment
Do you need a radiologist?
Yes because:
1.It provides a provider number to allow Medicare rebates
2.Review of all areas of the scan
3.Removes much of the legal responsibility

- perception of oral health - health literacy/beliefs/trust
- Oral health Seeking behaviour -Social/personal/cultural/medical influences
- Access to oral health care
- Their engagement in past oral health care processes - e.g. oral hygiene practices
