Q

What can generalised defects be?

A
  • often symmetrical and in multiple teeth

    presentation of symmetrical defects with a chronological pattern, with only parts of the teeth
    developing (enamel secretion) at the time of the insult affected.
  • non-chronological- not related to any particular time during tooth formation

Q

What do you need to be careful about in enforced extractions?

A

If you take one molar out, the one in opposite arch may overerupt into space, stopping the 7’s from mesialising, causing occlusal problems. May need compensating extraction.
- consider if 7 is mesio angular
- check if the 5 is locked into the roots of the E which will stop the 5 from being distally impacted if the 6 is extracted
- if only one tooth is extracted, child can wear night time retainer to prevent over eruption

88
Q

Microabrasion materials note:-

A

Sodium bicarbonate mixture is WHITE
▪Sodium bicarbonate mixture only placed at gingival margins
Neutralises the acid so that it does not cause gingival trauma.
▪Pumice/hydrochloric acid mixture is GREY
▪Pumice/hydrochloric acid mixture only used on the tooth in small quantities for microabrasion

89

90
Q

What are the aftercare rules for microabrasion?

A
  • no highly coloured foods for 1-2 days, eg. curry, iced lollies (as you have opened up the enamel prisms, the teeth will be like sponges so they will be more susceptible to taking a colour stain)
  • there may be continued improvement in the weeks after the treatment
  • occasionally there is some sensitivity afterwards which will resolve
91
Q

What is macroabrasion?

A

Phosphoric acid and soflex discs and finishing strips

A
  • low viscosity resin infiltration (etch and resin system)
  • white spot lesions and mild fluorosis
93
Q

How does icon work?

A
  • designed to arrest early enamel caries by blocking the diffusion paths for cariogenic acids
  • has a high penetration coefficient and a high refractive index thus altering the appearance of white spot lesions (caries or hypoplasia) to blend in with the surrounding normal coloured enamel
  • need to etch the tooth, then dry with alcohol, then place the resin
94
Q

What 3 things are used in icon treatment?

A
  • icon etch (15% hydrochloric acid)

  • vital bleaching- fitted tray
  • non-vital walking bleaching
  • non-vital inside out bleaching
96
Q

What is the rules for bleaching?

A

From 31/10/12, UK dentists can supply bleaching products to patients that contain/release 6% hydrogen peroxide (The Cosmetic Products (Safety) (Amendment) Regulations 2012)
􏰁 A good technique that is the least destructive to the tooth (10% carbamide peroxide = 3.6% hydrogen peroxide)
􏰁 Photos and written consent advised
􏰁 Can be sensitive in children (eg. not tolerated by MIH
cases); not advised in children still with primary teeth
􏰁 “Not to be used on a person under 18 years of age.”

97
Q

What is the use of bleaching in people under 18?

A

Following campaigning from professional organisations (eg. British Society of Paediatric Dentistry), the GDC released a position statement regarding tooth whitening (2014)
􏰁 “Products containing or releasing between 0.1% and 6% hydrogen peroxide cannot be used on any person under 18 years of age, except where such use is intended wholly for purpose of treating or preventing disease”
􏰁 This has been interpreted by the BSPD and others to mean that one may use bleaching products for the management of disease (eg. discolouration post dental trauma) but not to enhance the appearance of otherwise ‘normal’ teeth in the under-18s

98
Q

What is the method for vital at home bleaching?

A

Take impressions for bleaching trays
– do not need to be spaced; no reservoirs needed;
trimmed around gingival margins 􏰁 Take pre-operative
– photos/shade;
– consent
􏰁 Fit trays and provide with bleaching gel
(10% carbamide
peroxide gel); wear and care advice
􏰁 Review after 2 weeks
􏰁 Continue bleaching with regular reviews till satisfied with
outcome

99
Q

What is the method for non-vital (walking) bleaching?

A

Take impressions for bleaching trays
– do not need to be spaced; no reservoirs needed;
trimmed around gingival margins 􏰁 Take pre-operative
– photos/shade;
– consent
􏰁 Fit trays and provide with bleaching gel
(10% carbamide
peroxide gel); wear and care advice
􏰁 Review after 2 weeks
􏰁 Continue bleaching with regular reviews till satisfied with outcome

100
Q

What are the tx options for posterior teeth?

A

􏰁 Accept and monitor
􏰁 Temporary glass ionomer / compomer restorations / FS 􏰁 Composite restorations
􏰁 Stainless steel crowns
􏰁 Onlays
􏰁 Indirect crowns-not suitable for young patients
􏰁 Extraction

101
