  • gentle irrigation and PMPR of pcket - short of the base to prevent traumatising
  • antibiotics due to lymphadenopathy (phenoxymethylpencillin 250mg tablets, 2 tablets 4xdaily)
  • advise on CHX mouthwash 0.2% 10ml 1min rinse 2xdaily (no more than 14days, 30min after toothbrush)

Q

A patient presents with an Adhesive Bridge, the pontic is replacing the 11 and the 12 and 21 have adhesive wings bonded to them as abutments. You fitted the bridge 3 months previous and it has debonded.

4 potential reasons for debonding of a bridge clinically

A
  • unfavourable occlusion
  • insufficient coverage with adhesive wing for bonding
  • poor enamel quality of abutments

Q

Mrs. Dodds is a 45 year old woman. You placed a large MOD composite in her 46, 6 months ago.
She presents at your practice complaining that a bit of the filling has come away and she is not happy at all! You suspect that this may have something to do with the bonding and placement of the composite restoration.

describe how composite bonds to dentine

A

etch is used to remove any smear layer present and open up dentineal tubules and expose collagen fibres

prime and bond
primer (HEMA momomer) - aid in changing the surface from hydrophillic to hydrophobic
resin adhesive agent - when polymerising it flows into dentine tubules to form resin tags,
the polymer chains will aslo become entangled with exposed collagen fibres to give micrmechanical retention - Hybrid Layer

composite resin can bond to the hydrophobic adhesive resin surface

A patient is referred to your practice to have a large MOD amalgam in their 46 replaced as it was causing a lichenoid tissue reaction. You successfully replace it with composite and take a radiograph after placement which confirms that there is no secondary caries or pathology of any kind. The patient attends 5 days later complaining on pain when biting up and down and to transient thermal stimuli.

5 possible causes of symptoms

A

cracked tooth syndrome
residual resin monomer causing pulpal inflammation
pulpal damage due to excessive heat production during cavity prep

Q

management of OAC

A

If small then encourage clotting in the area, surgicel and suture the margins

Prescribe antibiotics and give post op advice including
* no nose blowing
* avoid playing wind/brass and drinking through a straw
* do not inhibit any sneezes

Review to ensure the communication has healed and no symptoms present (1week)

If larger communication then raise a buccal advancement flap, surgicel to encourage clotting and suture the buccal advancement flap to the palatal mucosa to close the wound, then manage the same as small
