Eruption Cyst |
Benign condition, should resolve as tooth erupts
Usually gone in a couple of weeks |
|
|
Prolonged Thumbsucking |
Leads to severe open bite in front
|
|
|
Early Elementary (6-7 yrs old) |
Eruption of permanent teeth
Start losing anterior incisors
Posterior 1st permanent molars come in |
|
|
Indications for Sealants |
-newly erupted teeth with pits and fissures
-children whose lifestyle, behavior patterns, physical or emotional development, or lack of fluoride exposure put them at high risk for caries
-children whose teeth have deep pits and fissures
-people who want them as preventive measure |
|
|
Premature Tooth Loss |
-increases risk of crowding
-increases risk of speech development issues
-may affect nutritional intake/choices |
|
|
Lingual Evaluation |
-Note lack of lingual papillae, pallor, dryness, color, asymmetry, uncoordination
-Lateral borders
Melanin pigmentation |
|
|
RED FLAGS |
- fuzzy teeth (accumulation of plaque biofilm)
-white spot or overt lesions (incipent or active decay)
-excessive crowding (high risk for variety of issues)
-Tobacco user |
|
|
Parafunctional habits |
-tooth grinding
-may c/o headaches -masticatory muscle tenderness/fatigue -If severe, reduced tooth anatomy |
|
|
Eating Disorders |
-Tooth erosion (inside surfaces of upper front teeth)
-Soft tissue trauma to pharyngeal area
-Callous on knuckle |
|
|
Dental Caries |
-Initial lesion is "white spot" -Progression eventually results in classic cavity |
|
|
Root Caries |
-increased risk with biofilm accumulation
-increased risk with recession
-increased risk with decreased salivary flow |
|
|
Caries Risk Factors |
-carbohydrate access (frequency/form) -fluoride availability -biofilm control -family history -tooth morphology -tooth alignment |
|
|
Fluorosis |
-Excessive fluoride intake during tooth development |
|
|
When does primary tooth eruption occur? |
Between 6 and 33 months |
|
|
Primary teeth are shed between.... |
6 and 12 years |
|
|
How often should fluoride varnish be applied? |
Every 3-6 months in at risk populations |
|
|
3 layers of the teeth |
- enamel -dentin - pulp |
|
|
Non-Dental sources for Oral pain |
-myofascial inflammation -migraine headaches -maxillary sinusitis -neuralgias |
|
|
Reversible pulpitis |
-Pulpal inflammation -Pain with hot, cold or sweet stimuli -Periapical abscess or cellulitis could erupt
TX: filling |
|
|
Irreversible Pulpitis |
-Pulpal inflammation -spontaneous, poorly localized pain -periapical abscess or cellulitis could erupt
TX: extraction, RCT |
|
|
Abscess |
-localized bacterial infection -localized pain and swelling -could become cellulitis
TX: I&D and RCT or extraction |
|
|
Cellulitis |
-diffuse, soft tissue bacterial infection -pain, erythema and swelling -Regional spread
TX: Antibiotics and RCT or extraction |
|
|
Pericorontitis |
-inflammed gum over partially erupted tooth
-pain, erythema and swelling
-cellulitis
TX: Irrigation, antibiotics if cellulitis is present |
|
|
Peridontal Disease |
-caused by microorganisms within subgingival dental plaque
-must be careful tx pts with pericarditits
- |
|
|
odontogenesis |
tooth development |
|
|
Signs of Periodontal Disease |
-red, sore, swollen, receding or bleeding gums -loose or sensitive teeth -presence or history of oral abscesses -halitosis -missing teeth -accumulation of food or plaque around teeth and gums -may be tender |
|
|
Risk factors for Periodontal Disease |
-tobacco use -hormone alterations -stress/poor nutrition -genetic contribution -psycho-social stress -systemic disease (diabetes, CVD) |
|
|
pyogenic granuloma |
pregnancy tumor in mouth benign resolves when pregnancy resolves |
|
|
Medications and Gingival Hyperplasia |
3 major classes - Calcium channel blockers - Anticonvulsants - Immunosuppressives |
|
|
Xerostomia Etilology |
-Sjorgren's Syndrome -Radiation therapy -Salivary gland dysfunction |
|
|
Xerostomia Symptoms |
-multiple decay, especially at root surfaces -Halitosis -glossitis -burning tongue -angular cheilosis (cracking at angle of mouth) -dysgeusia (taste dysfunction) |
|
|
Meds and Xerostomic Effect |
- ANtihistamines -ANtidepressants -Antipsychotics -Sedatives -Tranquilizers -Narcotic analgesics |
