pre-tx preparation for HCl-pumice microabrasion

A 
PPE - pt must be wearing glasses and bib
clean teeth with pumice and H2O
petroleum jelly to gingivae
MUST place dam and widgets IP between every tooth
 - dry dam - has earloops
Na bicarb guard (behind teeth)
 - and have more available

Q

HCl-pumice microabrasion method

A

18% HCl pumice slurry in slowly rotating rubber cup for 5secs. press hard on labial surfaces
- max 10 x 5secs applications
wash direct into aspirator after every 5secs application
remove dam
FV
- Profluorid etc not Duraphat (colophony yellow - teeth more porous so may take up stain)
polish with finest sandpaper disc
final polish with toothpaste

Q

why shouldn’t you use Duraphat after HCl-pumice microabrasion?

A

colophony is yellow - teeth are more porous so may take up stain

Q

HCl-pumice microabrasion - why sandpaper discs?

A

SEM evidence shows a compacted, relatively prismless layer of surface E
this changes the optical properties of E so areas of intrinsic discolouration become less perceptible

Q

using proprietary kits for microabrasion

A

still isolate teeth
FMIs
most can be used >1 on teeth but must be vigilant re E thickness (yellow dentine shine through)
about 25-75um per tx?

Q

advantages of HCl-pumice microabrasion

A 
easy
conservative
cheap
minimal maintenance
fast-acting
effective
permanent results
can use before/after bleaching
removes yellow-brown, white and multicoloured stains
 - best on brown stains

Q

HCl-pumice microabrasion disadvantages

A 
removes E
HCl compounds caustic
requires PPE for pt, dentist and nurse
prediction of tx outcome is difficult
must be done in surgery
cannot be delegated
20
Q

reviewing HCl-pumice microabrasion and post-op instructions

A

teeth dehydrated after procedure
warn pt to avoid highly coloured food and drinks for at least 24hrs
- will take up stains easily - avoid anything that will stain a white t shirt - tomato based, curry, cola, squash etc

review in 4-6wks and take post-op photos
- when fully rehydrated

21
Q

bleaching EU directive 2012

A

can whiten >18s with up to 6% H2O2
“products containing/releasing 0.1-6% H2O2 cannot be used on U18s except where such use is intended wholly for the purpose of txing/preventing disease” - GDC 2014
- incs discolouration due to hypomineralisation, fluorosis, trauma etc

22
Q

options for bleaching

A 
external vital bleaching
 - chair side 'power' bleaching
 - at home nightguard
internal non-vital bleaching
 - inside outside
 - walking bleach
23
Q

what to warn pt about future when doing bleaching?

A

effects of bleaching aren’t permanent

as get older may have to pay in future

24
Q

vital chair side bleaching

A

unstable, rapidly reacting H2O2 usually 15-38%
(about 75% carbamide peroxide)
increased risk to STs and eyes

25
nightguard vital bleaching gel and tray design
10% carbamide peroxide gel | cut windows in customised tray over any teeth you don't want to bleach
26
nightguard vital bleaching pt instructions
``` brush teeth thoroughly apply a little gel to tray set over teeth and press down remove excess rinse gently, don't swallow wear overnight (or for at least 2hrs) remove, brush tray and rinse cold water ```
27
timescale of vital nightguard bleaching
about 3-6 weeks keep going until acceptable colour (as long as not too many side effects) can be used as an adjunct to microabrasion
28
what does 10% carbamide peroxide gel break down into?
3% H2O2 and 7% urea | then catalases and peroxidases - water, ammonia, CO2
29
advantages of non-vital bleaching
``` simple tooth conserving original tooth morphology gingival tissues not irritated by Rx adolescent gingival level not a Rx consideration no lab assistance for 'walking bleach' ```
30
non-vital bleaching tooth selection
adequate root filling - no clinical/radiological disease anterior teeth without large Rxs - may need to replace composites after bleaching e.g. trauma not amalgam intrinsic discolouration not fluorosis or tetracycline discolouration (vital cases)
31
walking bleach
oxidising process allowed to proceed over days. seal inside tooth remove root filling to below gingival margin - adult bur - miniature head - US tip bleaching agent on cotton wool cover with dry cotton wool seal GIC/IRM renew bleach - ideally no more than 2 weeks between its appts as oxidation process will have finished if no change after 3-4 renewals stop 6-10 changes total
32
walking bleach regression
50% 2-6yrs
33
combination inside out bleaching in office aspect
10% gel, inside tooth and in tray, can seal in if cooperation is an issue access cavity of tooth open do not necessarily need GI lining - block dentinal tubules you are trying to bleach custom made mouthguard (cut windows in guard of the teeth you don't want to bleach)
34
combination inside out bleaching home aspect
pt applies bleaching agent to back of tooth and tray pt keeps access cavity clean - replacing gel removes food debris etc wear all the time except eating and cleaning gel changed about every 2 hours except overnight - paeds - morn, break, lunch, after school, after dinner, bed
35
non-vital bleaching restoration of pulp chamber
``` nsCaOH paste for 2wks, seal in with GIC then: 1 - white GP and composite resin - facility to rebleach OR 2 - incrementally cured composite - no internal rebleaching but stronger tooth - veneer or crown prep if regression ```
36
potential complications of non-vital bleaching
``` ECR - rare, more likely if prev trauma spillage of bleaching agents failure to bleach over bleach brittleness of tooth crown ```
37
preventing ECR
layer of cement over GP | nsCaOH in tooth for 2 weeks before final restoration
38
preventing ECR - layer of cement over GP
prevents bleaching agent from getting to external surface of root (not for inside-out technique) can prevent adequate bleaching of cervical area
39
preventing ECR - nsCaOH in tooth for 2 weeks before final restoration
reverses any acidity in PDL that might have occurred if had got to external surface of root
40
bleaching - effects on ST
``` concern? short-term exposure - minor ulceration/irritation - plaque reduction - aids wound healing long-term exposure (theoretical)? - delayed wound healing - PD harm - mutagenic potential ```
41
what is tooth mousse and what can it be used for?
recaldent CPP-ACP (casein phosphopeptide-amorphous Ca phosphate) milk derived protein as an adjunct to microabrasion and bleaching evidence not great
42
suggested use of tooth mousse from manufacturer as an adjunct to bleaching and microabrasion
after bleaching - 2wks home application poorly demarcated hypo mineralised lesions, mild/mod fluorosis - after microabrasion and for 4wks home application (pea sized at night before bed)
43
what is resin infiltration?
infiltration of E lesions with low viscosity light-curing resins surface layer is eroded, lesions desiccated (dried with ethanol), and apply resin infiltrant resin penetrates lesion driven by capillary forces infiltrated lesions lose their discoloured appearance and look similar to sound E
44
resin infiltration method
clean teeth and rinse apply and rub in etch gel (Icon Etch). 2mins working time rinse and apply Icon Dry. 30s visual inspection - insufficient result/lesion not accessible repeat until good masking of white spots, lesion accessible apply separation sheets Icon Infiltrant. 3mins remove excess - blow light cure 40s 2nd infiltration to compensate for polymerisation shrinkage polish
45
to reduce/not to reduce enamel for veneers?
``` aesthetics relative tooth position e.g. instanding incisor would be good to build it out a bit masking dark stain age (v young teeth large pulp) psyche plaque removal ```
46
enamel reduction - studies
``` over contouring (if you don't remove E) increases plaque retention and stagnation at the gingival margin, esp in those with poor OH bond strength is significantly increased after partial removal of buccal E ```
47
composite veneers
direct - freehand/putty guide indirect e.g. BellGlass - often for amelogenesis imperfecta
