65 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Conditions patients usually complain about

● Pain ● Swelling ● Esthetics ● Difficulty in mastication ● Difficulty in swallowing

imbued with the responsibility of taking care of the oral health of people

dentists

two morbid states that often present several diagnostic dilemmas to the dentist

Inflammation and Infection

presence of a reproducing pathogen (bacteria, viruses etc.) in the body.

infection

can happen without any inflammation

tetanus infection

a common response by the body to infection or general disturbance.

inflammation

A localized protective response elicited by injury or destruction of tissues, which serves to destroy, dilute or wall off the injurious agent and the injured tissue.

inflammation

Cardinal signs of Inflammation:

Calor (heat; hyperemia) ● Dolor (pain; nerve chemical mediators ● Functio laesa (loss of function; pain) ● Rubor (redness; hyperemia) ● Tumor (swelling; exudation)

Mechanism of Inflammation

Vasodilation ● Exudation ● Emigration ● Chemotaxis

Excessive swelling causes congestion of the tissues ● Congestion may cause compression of vital tissues

swelling

Probably the single most important reason why patients see dentists ● Discomfort may interfere with a patient's activities.

pain

Managing pain and swelling begins with

identifying the cause

Signs of infection:

Fever ● Lymphadenopathy ● Abscess ● Cellulitis ● Inflammation ● Trismus

The invasion of a host organism's bodily tissues by disease causing organisms, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to these organisms and the toxins they produce

infection

Always caused by microbial invasion

infection

Not always caused by an infections

inflammation

Managed with antibiotics

infection

Managed by NSAIDs or other inflammatory measures

inflammation

Thorough examination:

● Dental caries ● Periodontitis ● Ulcerations ● Traumatic occlusion ● Areas of erythema ● Percussion ● Absence of visible causes ● Radiographic evaluation ● Palpation

S.O.C.R.A.T.E.S.

Site - ● Onset - sudden or gradual? ● Character - ● Radiation - ● Associations - ● Time course - ● Exacerbating/Relieving Factors - ● Severity

greater than that of paracetamol and is comparable to that of weak opioids

analgesics of nsaids

weak opiods

(codeine, tramadol,

required to achieve anti inflammatory than analgesic effects

higher doses

Optimum duration of treatment for analgesic purposes

3 days

Patients benefit from receiving optimal NSAID doses given at regular, ‘‘___ ’’ time interva

clock based

It is recommended to give NSAIDs before surgery.

Pre-operative analgesia

less effective as an analgesic when compared with ibuprofen and naproxen.

celecoxib

Combination therapy of NSAIDs andParacetamol


NON OPIODS DRUG

analgesic effect of acetaminophen is considered ____ when combined with NSAIDs

synergistic

A commercially available combination product containing ______ may be an option and is easy to prescribe.

opioid and acetaminophen

Commonly prescribed opioid for dental use

also known as narcotic analgesics. They have the potential for addiction and require a prescript

opioid drugs

are indicated for prevention of inflammatory manifestations (edema and trismus) (professional agreement)

Glucocorticoids

Use of steroid as an

anti inflammatory

duration of steroid use

The optimum duration of treatment is 3 days, with a maximum of 5 days (professional agreement); since this

The invasion of a host organism's bodily tissues by disease causing organisms, their multiplication, and the reaction of host tissues to these organisms and the toxins they produce

infection

Most odontogenic infections due to

mixed flora

Most Odontogenic Infections Are Compose

Aerobic – 5% ○ Anaerobic – 35% ○ Mixed – 60%

stages of infection

cellulitis

A painful swelling of the soft tissue of the mouth and face resulting from a diffuse spreading of purulent exudate along the fascial planes that separate the muscle

abscess

- Well defined localized borders● Pus accumulation in tissues● Fluctuant to palpation● Considered a chronic state

Inflammatory causes of oral pain● Pulpal

Reversible Pulpitis○


Irreversible Pulpitis○


Periapical Periodontitis○


Localized dentoalveolar abscess○


Facial cellulitis

Inflammatory causes of oral pain peeiodontal

Lateral periodontal abscess○


Pericoronitis○


Dry socket○


Plaque induced gingivitis○


Chronic periodontitis

A considerable percentage of dental pain originates from acute and chronic infections of pulpal origin

operative intervention

should only be used in acute periodontal conditions where drainage or debridement is impossible,

systemic antimictobials

Factor Influencing Post-operative Infections

-Size of bacterial inoculum ● Duration of surgery ● Presence of foreign body/implants ● State of host resistance

Cardiac Conditions Considered for Antibiotic Prophylaxis

Common procedures done in the dental office

-Extractions (single or multiple) ○ Frenectomies ○ Torus removal ○ Chronic apical infections

Antibiotics must be in place prior to start of surgery

Oral – 1 hour prior to surgery ■ Parenteral – less than 1 hour

timing : Prolonged surgeries

penicillin and clindamycin give every 3 hou

timing : “Post operative prophylaxis”

Evidence indicates increased infection if started after 2 hours

Antibiotics are indicated in severe infections ● Signs Of Severety

Fever ○ Dehydration ○ Rapid progression of swelling ○ Trismus ○ Quality and/or location of swelling ○ Marked pain ○ Elevation of tongue ○ Difficulty with speech and swallowing

limited number of localized oral lesions that are indicated for antibiotic

Periodontal abscess ○ Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis ○ Pericoronitis.

Organism causing infection is not seen ● Prescription is not based on luck ● Experience in previous treatments are the main basis ● Also based on our knowledge of the most common organisms involved in odontogenic infection ● Based on knowledge of antibiotic sensitivity of the suspected organism

Empirical antibiotic prescription

Commonly prescribed antibiotics in dental practice

Empiric therapy based on predictable organisms

antibiotic therapy

antibiotic of choice

amoxicillin

limited action on anaerobic

Cephalosporin

broad spectrum, less effective than penicillin. Largely replaced by Azithromycin

erythromycin

effective only against anaerobes

metronidazole

such as ciprofloxacin for established osteomyelitis

quinolones

is the shortest time that will prevent both clinical and microbiological relapse.

ideal antibiotic duration

usually mentioned in the known resources for antibiotic prescribing,

frequency of prescribing

most commonly based on expert opinion.

whereas duration of treatment recommended in therapeutic guidelines

most patients with acute dentoalveolar infections can safely be 2-3 days, provided that drainage has been establishe

duration of antibiotic therapy
