Special Needs Patients pt 1 Flashcards
Diabetes Mellitus Type I
- Prevalence in pediatric population?
- Cause?
- Peak onset>
- Susceptibilty?
- Most common form of pediatric diabetes at 70%
- Chronic metabolic disorder caused by absolute deficiency of insulin due to absence or destruction of pancreatic beta cells
- Peak onset: 10-12 (girls) 12-14 yo (boys)
- Susceptibilty: genetics, environment, autoimmune factors
Diabetes types I : twin studies demonstrate?
- coinfection? or environmental changes?
- Chromosomal anomalies with increased risk?
- Increased risk for what diseases?
60% chance if identitical of both having, not identical 8% share.
- Environment: viral infection, breastfed has a lower risk
- Downs, Turner, Klinefelter
- DM1 has increased risk for Celiac disease and hypo or hyperthyroid disease
Signs and symptoms of Diabetes type I
Polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia
- weigh tloss, FTT (gluconeogenesis)
- Ketoacidosis (15-40%): dehydration, ketone breath, acidotic breathing, abdominal pain
- Immune impairment: recurrent infection and candidiasis
- Symptoms develop over a short period of time
Blood glucose fasting and random test values for diabetes type I?
fasting >120mg/dL
random >200mg/dL
Type II DM :
- What is it?
- Prevalence in children?
- Risk factors?
Insulin resistance w/relative deficiency
- Characterized by hyperglycemia, vascular disease, and neuropathy (burning mouth syndrome)
- 30% of pediatric diabetes but increasing
- Risk factors: >10yo obesity family hx, ethnicity, physical inactivity, alcohol/drug use
Physical symptoms of DM type II
Increased appetite/thirst
- Increased urination
- Fatigue
- Blurred vision
- Dry, itchy skin. Tingling or numb extremities
- non healing skin infections
- Candidiasis
- Acanthosis nigricans: cutaneous marker of insulin resistance
Acanthosis Nigricans:
- what is it?
- Assoc w/?
- where is it found?
Acquired or inherited pigmentation skin
- assoc w/diabetes, obesity, other endocrine disorders malignancies,
- sites: flexural places (knees, neck, elbows), lips
Metformin: what does it do?
Metformin reduces hepatic glucose production and increases insulin sensitivty
Diabetes : oral manifestations?
- Increased risk for gingivitis, periodontitis
- Prolonged infections, candiasis
- Xerostomia, sialodenosis
- Delayed wound healing
- Altered sensation (burning mouth synd), taste issues
- Odontalgia (microangiopathy)–can increase toothaches because they have small blood vessels that can be occluded
- Lichen planus and acetone breath (DM 1)
- Benign migratory glossitis (geographic tongue)
Localized Juvenile Spongiotic GIngival hyperplasia:
- what is it?
- Origin?
- Cause?
- Age/gender/race
Irritation in papilla at gingival margin
Site: sulcular/junctional epithelium especially anterior facial gingiva, esp maxilla
- Cause: unknown not strong bacterial plaque assoc
- Factors orthodontics (15%), tooth eruption, lip incompetence/mouthbreathing
- Do not see a lot of plaque on the teeth, does not necessarily respond to oral hygiene
Age/Gender/Race: 12 yo, F», white
Periodontitis in children:
- Prevalence in the US?
- Risk factors?
- Relationship to DM 1 and 2?
- nutrition?
20% of 14-17 yo have attachment loss of >2mm in 1 or more sites
- Risk factors: teen who smokes, DM
- DM1 : 10-15% risk, DM2: increased risk
- Chronic vitamin C deficiency also risk
GERD: prevalence? peak age? symptoms?
Malfunctioning/week lower esophageal sphincter that results in retrograde flow of gastic contents into esophagus
- Affects 5-7% of population; common in infants
- Peak age: 1-4 months; most resolve at 8-10 months, chronic reflux if still occur beyong 18 months
Signs and symptoms of GERD
Chronic heartburn, acid regurgitation, vomiting, belching, painful swallowing, chronic sore throat, sour taste, wheezing, poor appetite, halitosis, oral ulcers/erosion, dental erosion
Causes of GERD: physical? Meds? etc?
Anatomic factors, angle, hiatal hernia
- Medicines: theophylline, almotriptan- migraine meds, bisphosphosphonates), obesity, overeating, late night eating, greasy foods, etc
Lifestyle treatments, medicines and foods to avoid for GERD, possible consequences of treatment?
- Lifestyle: upright until meal digested, eat smaller meals/more often, restrict food choices, no exercise after meal, reduce body weight, elevate head of bed 30 degrees for children >2 yo, eliminate tobacco smoke exposure
- Foods that aggravate: caffiene, carbonated, chocolate, peppermint, spicy, acidic, fried/fatty, alcohol
- Meds: antacids, foaming agents (cover stomach contents), H2 receptor antagonist (inhibit acid production), proton pump inhibitors (total acid suppression - can lead to vit D/B deficiencies), prokinetics (strengthens sphincter)
Surgical tx for GERD and inications for sx
Fundoplication: wrap fundus around distal part of esophagus, distended stomach compresses on esophagus, curative for 90% of pts
- Indications for sx: failed drug tx (12 wks), complications
Dental considerations for GERD
- Children w/ GERD have increased risk of erosion
- Higher salivary micro-organism colonization in GERD children increases caries risk; INCREASED BACTERIAL LOAD
- Consider evaluation for GERD when dental erosion is present in asymptomatic children
- Do not brush after vomiting
Prevalence of Anorexia, bulimia? ED-NOS?
Gender?
Anorexia : 1% Bulimia Nervosa 1-4%
50% of all teens w/ED
90% are female
