Q

What is the aim of the preventative approach

  4. Help children with brushing until at least the age of
23
Q

What is essential if you have decided to adopt a preventative only approach?

A
  1. Appointments every 3 months
  2. Serial plaque scores
  3. Fluoride varnish application
  4. Clinical photographs
24
Q

What documentation should we obtain before starting our preventative treatment?

A
  1. Record you have discussed with the parents
  2. Parental consent
  3. Parental understanding that treatment may be required in the future
  4. Close follow ups- DNAs and cancellations
25
Q

What is the aim of the biological approach

A

To completely seal a carious lesion from the oral environment so that the environment of the plaque biofilm is altered sufficiently to slow or even arrest caries

26
Q

What is the rationale for the biological approach

A
  1. Some children struggle with LA
  2. If teeth are asymptomatic should children be prescribed general anaesthetic
  3. We know it is possible to arrest caries
27
Q

What techniques can we carry oit if we adopt the biological approach

A
  1. Hall technique
  2. Fissure sealants
28
Q

What is the hall technique

A

Placing no prep performed metal crowns in primary molars

29
Q

What is the probability of the tooth surviving following the hall technique without extraction or loss of crown

A

3 years: 73.4%
5 years: 67.6%

30
Q

What are some ion the advantages of the biological approach?

A
  1. Can be effective and is preferred to complete caries removal techniques by children, their carers and dentists
  2. Avoids need for LA and tooth preparation
  3. No risk of iatrogenic damage to adjacent teeth
31
Q

What are some of the disadvantages to the biological approach

A
  1. Dependent on the quality of the seal for success- if seal fails caries will progress
  2. Further clinical trials in primary care needed to consolidate evidence base
32
Q

Describe a patient in whom you may decide to adopt a biological approach

A
  1. Asymptomatic
  2. No evidence of sepsis
  3. Child can sit in the chair and follow instructions and is wiling to take radiographs
  4. Parents are on board
33
Q

How is a hall technique crown placed?

A
  1. Odontogenic bands are placed between teeth at least 3-5 days before crown placement to separate them slightly
  2. Assess the tooth shape, contact points and occlusion
  3. Protect the airway
  4. Size a crown (usually start with size 4)
  5. Load the crown with cement
  6. Fill the crown and first stage setting
  7. Remove excess cement, check fit and second stage setting
  8. Final clearance of cement
  9. check occlusion
34
Q

What do fissure sealants do?

A

They inhibit the progression of non cavitated carious lesions

35
Q

What are fissure sealants known as?

A

Secondary prevention

36
Q

What requirements must be fulfilled for us to consider placing fissure sealants

A
  1. No cavitations
  2. No radiolucencies on a bitewing radiogrpahs
37
Q

Name the different types of fissure sealants

A
  1. Resin based sealants
  2. GI sealants (fuji triage)
  3. Polyacid modified resin sealant
  4. Resin modified GI sealant
38
Q

Talk through the steps of fissure sealant placement

A
  1. Clean the pits and fissures
  2. Isolate the tooth
  3. Etch, wash and dry
  4. Apply bonding agent, cure
  5. Apply sealant
  6. Evaluate
39
Q

What hold you discuss with parents before placing fissure sealants

A
  1. It is a reasonably new technique
  2. Excellent homecare is required for into succeed
  3. Regular review and recall is imperative- further intervention may be required in the future
40
Q

After placing fissure sealants when should you follow up with the patient

A

Every three months until the Childs caries status moves to low caries risk

41
Q

What is considered a low caries risk

A
  1. No new lesions on 6s monthly bitewings
  2. Good plaque control
  3. Low cariogenic diet
42
Q

What is the aim of the conventional approach

A

Managing all caries and restoring oral health
this often reused full caries removal and restorations or extractions

43
Q

Out of the 3 paediatric approaches which is the gold standard

A

The conventional approach

44
Q

Describe a patient in whom you many adopt a conventional approach

A
  1. Potentially co operative/ co operative patients that can manage bitewings and LA
  2. Motivated patietns
45
Q

List the principles for treatmetn planning when you decide to asopt the conventioanl approach

A
  1. Formulate treatment plan visit by visit
  2. order of care: simple to complex
  3. Preventative care running parallel to restorative care
  4. Behaviour management integral to treatment plan
46
Q

Which primary teeth do we aim to treat first if they all have caries

A
  1. Upper posteriors
  2. Lower posteriors
  3. Upper anteriors
  4. Lower anterior
    but of course whichever is causing pain is treated fi
47
Q

What do you need to consider when planning your treatment if you adopt the conventional approach

A

Behavioural considerations:
1. Carry out tx at a pace the child can tolerate
2. Set realistic goals
3. Consider LA, sedation or GA

48
Q

Which teeth should we prioritise in the conventional approach

A
  1. Permanent teeth
  2. Es and Ds
49
Q

What is the restorative material of choice for paediatric patients

A

Composite

50
Q

If a tooth required pulp therpary what will you need to do

A

Carry out pulpal therpay then restore with an SSC

51
Q

If treatment under LA is not possible what should you consider

A
  1. Inhalation sedation
  2. GA
