Study These Flashcards
A

23
Q

What are the 10 steps when managing dental trauma?

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Assess for signs of head trauma
  2. Assess for other injuries
  3. Assess for any aspirations of teeth
  4. E/O exam
  5. I/O exam
  6. Trauma table
  7. Sensibility tests
  8. Radiographs
  9. Diagnosis
  10. Treatment
24
Q

What are signs of head trauma?

Study These Flashcards
A

Loss of consciousness
Strange behaviours
Vommiting
Visual disturbance

25
What should you asses for E/O after dental trauma occurs?
Lacerations Palpate for fractures Assess any bruising as this can indicate a fracture
26
What should you assess in an I/O exam after dental trauma?
Soft tissues Hard tissues Occlusion
27
What are the 8 things assessed in a trauma table?
1. Tooth/teeth involved 2. Direct colour 3. Trans colour 4. Alveolar tenderness 5. Sinus 6. TTP 7. Mobility 8. Perfusion note
28
What situations would you always extract a primary tooth after trauma?
Excessively loose teeth Teeth that damage permanent tooth Infection risk teeth Unrestoable teeth
29
What are the 2 possible treatment options for traumatised primary teeth?
XLA or Restore and Monitor
30
In the permanent dentition, if a traumatised tooth is restorable, what should you do?
If mobile - splint, restore and review If non mobile - restore and review
31
What is the aim of a pulpotomy?
To remove any infected and inflamed pulpal tissue coronary to maintain the tooth’s vitality
32
What are the 7 steps for a pulpotomy?
1. LA 2. Rubber dam 3. Amputate exposed pulp 4. Arrest bleeding with cotton wool and saline 5. Dress with calcium hydroxide or MTA 6. Place a layer of RMGIC and cure 7. Restore the tooth
33
What is the aim of placing a composite bandage following trauma?
To seal over any exposed dentinal tubules to minimise the risk of microbial invasion and prevent sensitivity
34
What is the aim of splinting a tooth?
To immobilise a traumatised tooth in the correct anatomical position to prevent further trauma and allow healing to occur.
35
What are the 6 steps when reviewing trauma?
1. Pt hstiory 2. Symptoms history 3. Examination: E/O and I/O 4. Trauma table 5. Sensibility tests 6. Radiographs
36
What are 4 common complications of trauma in the PRIMARY dentition?
1. Pulpal necrosis 2. Pulpal obliteration 3. Root resorption 4. Damage to successors
37
What are the 6 common complications following dental trauma in the PERMANENT dentition?
1. Pulpal necrosis 2. Resorption 3. Ankylosis 4. External resorption 5. Internal resorption 6. Discolouration
38
Pulpal necrosis: signs and symptoms
Persistent grey colour Tenderness Sinus Suppuration Swelling PA inflammation
39
Pulpal obliteration: signs and symptoms
Yellow/opaque colour Shrinking pulp chamber
40
Root resorption: signs and symptoms
Mobility Shortened roots
41
Damage to successors: signs and symptoms
Hypomineralisation Crown dilaceration Root duplication Root dilasceration Arrest of formation
42
Ankylosis: signs and symptoms
No mobility Metalic percussion note No PDL present Radiographically
43
External root resorption: signs and symptoms
Mobility Shortened external surface of roots
44
Internal root resorption: signs and symptoms
Pink spot on tooth Round radiolucency in the root canal Radiographically
45
What causes discolouration of the crown?
Pulpal necrosis RCT trauma
46
List 6 Tx options for discoloured teeth:
Crown Veneer Post and core Internal bleaching External bleaching Composite camouflage
47
