Q

systemic sclerosis/scleroderma - dental considerations about diagnosis and management?

A

diagnosis: dentist may suspect from oral findings

mouth care:

systemic lupus erythematous -
pathophysiology?
antibodies against?
widespread deposition of?

A
  • autoimmune + multi-system disease
  • aetiology unknown
  • antibodies against cell nuclear components
  • widespread vascular complex deposition
24
Q

systemic lupus erythematous - signs and symptoms?

A
  • skin: photosensitivity, butterfly rash
  • joints: small joint arthritis
  • raynaud’s syndrome
25
Q

what is raynaud’s syndrome?

A

temporary spasm of blood vessels, blocking the flow of blood
- affected experience pain, numbness, pins and needles

26
Q

SLE - signs and symptoms?

A
  • nervous system: fits, paralysis, neuropathy, psychosis
  • heart: valve disease, endocarditis
  • lungs: effusions
  • kidney failure
27
Q

systemic lupus erythematous - diagnosis?

A
  • clinical exam

- test for specific auto-antibodies

28
Q

systemic lupus erythematous - management?

A
  • pharmacological same as rheumatoid arthritis

- psychological, for practical support

29
Q

systemic lupus erythematous - dental considerations? (diagnosis & established)

A
  • recognition of orofacial features (butterfly rash) -> diagnosis

diagnosed disease:

  • drug side effects
  • reduced anxiety
  • secondary sjogren’s syndrome
30
Q

gout - what is it? caused by? more common in?

A
  • accumulation of urate crystals in joints (overnourished + change in metabolism + high protein diet)
  • common in older men
31
Q

gout - acute presentation? precipitated by?

A
  • extremely painful joints

- starvation, alcohol excess, certain foods, operations, drugs

32
Q

gout - chronic presentation?

A

tophi deposition (crystalline uric acid at joints)

33
Q

psoriatic arthritis: psoriasis associated with? can rarely affect where?

A
  • destructive arthritis associated with psoriasis

- can rarely affect TMJs

34
Q

name 4 bone disorders?

A
  • hyperparathyroidism
  • paget’s disease
  • osteomalacia
  • osteoporosis
35
Q

hyperparathyroidism: pathophysiology?

A
  • excess thyroid hormone

- usually adenoma in parathyroid gland

36
Q

hyperparathyroidism - hypercalcaemia associated with what symptoms?

A
  • malaise and depression
  • constipation
  • abdominal pains
  • bone pain
  • kidney stones
37
Q

hyperparathyroidism: untreated hypercalcaemia leads to?

A

cardiac disrhythmia and death

38
Q

hyperparathyroidism: diagnosis?

A
  • blood tests

- xrays: look for sub-periosteal erosions

39
Q

hyperparathyroidism: management?

A
  • parathyroidectomy

- drugs

40
Q

hyperparathyroidism: dental considerations?

A
  • consider the effect of bone resorption: giant cell lesions, loss of lamina dura around roots
  • may have had treatment with bisphosphonates
41
Q

paget’s disease: pathophysiology?

A
  • abnormal bone remodelling: abundant bone formation.

bone formed is structurally abnormal and prone to fracture

42
Q

paget’s disease: signs and symptoms?

A
  • most is asymptomatic
  • bone deformities
  • enlargement of skull
  • nerve compression (due to the narrowing of foramina in skull). leading to deafness & spinal cord compression
  • fractures
43
Q

paget’s disease: diagnosis?

A
  • clinical exam: presence of gross deformities, can’t bear weight

44
Q

paget’s disease: dental considerations - initial and established diagnosis?

A

initial:
- recognition of radiological features & dental changes

established diagnosis:

  • care with surgery to bone, risk of infection and fracture
  • awareness of osteosarcoma risk
  • may be treated with bisphosphonates
45
Q

osteomalacia - deficiency in? due to? what is it called in children?

A

vitamin D deficiency

  • due to lack of sunlight
  • poor intake (lack oily fish, eggs, red meat, fortified cereal/margarine)

47
Q

osteomalacia - symptoms?

A
  • diffuse bony pains

- proximal muscle weakness

48
Q

osteomalacia - diagnosis and treatment?

A

diagnosis:

  • history
  • investigations: x-rays, blood tests. looser’s zone fracture: pseudofracture, area of radiolucency

treatment: replacement, change in diet: Healthy Start

49
Q

osteoporosis - pathophysiology?

50
Q

osteoporosis: characteristics in:

51
Q

osteoporosis: risk factors?

A
