Untoward Outcomes and Solutions Body Flashcards
what are the solution options for diseased outcomes
- extraction
- non surgical retreatment
- surgical retreatment
- monitoring
what is PA1
no lesion in diseased outcome
what is PAI5
worst diseased outcome
is the lesion larger on CBCT than the PA shows
yes always
why might a patient select extraction over REC
- lost faith or fear of additional fees/failures
- weary of unresolved issues/definitive solution
- may be the high prognosis option
why is it always preferrable to retain healthy natural tooth for life
- most efficient chewing
- normal biting force and sensation
- natural appearance
- protects other teeth from excessive wear or strain
what are the replacement options for extraction
- implant
- FPD
- RPD
does an implant have a 100% success rate
no
why might a RCT not heal as expected
- complicated undetected or untreated canal anatomy
- delay in placemen of definitive coronal restoration
- inadequate previous RCT or leaking coronal restoration
- new problems such as new decay, loose, cracked or broken restoration or tooth or root fracture
if you are going to be successful in solving the problem you first must determine:
exactly the etiology of the problem
AAE suggests that _____ should generally be the first option considered
NSRT
NSRT prognosis is generally _____ than 1st RCT
pooper
what was the failure rate of endo re treatment
16.6%
what was the overall success rate for retreatment
65%
what is the retention of orthograde endo retreatment after 5 years
89%
what is the technique of NSRT
- problem must be identified
- deconstruction
- GP must be softened to facilitate removal of obturation material
- all problems discovered/confirmed
- all deficiencies must be corrected and success documented by recall
what are the problems to identify that could have caused the re treatment
- is it tooth or root fracture
- missed canal
- inadequate previous RCT- cleaning and shaping or obturation
in NSRT deconstruction must be done to:
provide access to previous obturation material
how can GP be softened and what is the most commonly used method
- solvents or heat
- chloroform- most common
- eucalyptol
- rectified spirits of turpentine
what obturating agents are impossible to remove
thermafil, insoluble pastes and silver points
