Q

what is the clinical presentation of ICDAS 1/ ICDAS 2?

A

earliest clinically detectible lesions. indicates mild demineralization. lesion limited to enamel or to shallow demineralization of cementum/dentin. mildest forms are only detectable AFTER DRYING!!!! when established and active, may be white or brown and enamel has lost its normal gloss. (icdas2)

-infected dentin is UNLIKELY.

Q

what are the 5 overall strategies /treatments for caries management (not surgical)

A
  • pH neutralization (reduces growth/acid production of cariogenic bacteria- supports healthy bacteria)
  • antibacterial
  • fluoride (aids in remineralization, inhibits acid production of cariogenic bacteria)
  • xylitol -reduces growth and acid production of cariogenic bacteria
  • nano HA (Ca PO4) aids in remineralization w nano particles of hydroxyapatite

Q

what does chlorhexidine rinse do

A

antibacterial but does not work against lactobacillus!!!! so more for periodontal disease!

(twice a day for 1 week per month. mau cause staining and increased calculus)

27
Q

for a low risk person ; what is the home care rec, recare interval, and radiograph interval (Pacific protocol)

A

oral hygiene, individualized diet modification, frequency and exposure, OTC fluroide toothpaste

recare: 12 months
radiographs: 24-36 months

28
Q
A
29
Q

for a moderate risk person ; what is the home care rec, recare interval, and radiograph interval (Pacific protocol)

A

Everything from low risk +

    1. xylitol gum/mints throughout the day
      1. .05% NaF rinse after meals if possible

Alternative therapy would be to use a 5000 ppm F toothpaste twice daily instead of OTC toothpaste and no mouth rinse’

recare: 4-6 months
radiographs: 18-24 months

30
Q

for a highrisk person ; what is the home care rec, recare interval, and radiograph interval (Pacific protocol)

A

everything from low and moderate +

  • 5000 ppm toothpaste instead of OTC F toothpaste morning and night
  • antibacterial /pH neutralizer (CTx4 treatment rinse) before bedtime
    recare: 3-4 months
    radiographs: 6-18 months
31
Q

for a extreme risk person ; what is the home care rec, recare interval, and radiograph interval (Pacific protocol)

A

everything from now, moderate and high +

  • pH neutralization (boost spray) throughout the day
  • Ca/PO4 supplementation (MI paste) throughout the day and right before bedtime
    recare: 3 months
    radiographs: 6 months until no new caries lesion
32
Q

how do you use treatment rinse (carifree ctx4) , what is its pH , ingredients?

A

mix equal amounts of A and B (about 10 mL total) and swish for 1 minute once or twice a day

  • pH 10-11 , makes biofilm inhospitable for acid loving bacteria
  • ingredients: (active)- sodium hydroxide and sodium hypochlorite
  • also has fluoride and 11% xylitol

alcohol free

33
Q

how do u use chlorhexidine gluconate , whats its pH and ingredients, brands

-whats the treatment plan with it?

A

rinse w 1/2 ox (15 ml) for 1 minute twice a day for one week

  • use a fluoride product for the next 3 weeks.
  • repeat each month

pH 5-7

ingredients= .12% chlorhexidine gluconate, 12% alcohol or alcohol free.

brands: peridex and periogard. (paroex is alc free)
- DONT USE WITH FLUORIDE!!!!!!!
- use until caries control is completed and bacterial counts are low (all antimicrobials)

meant to be intensely used, short term, therapeutic endpoint.

-set a caries recall dpeendent upon what you have described and patient motivation. usually want another ATP measure at 1 month. repeat as frequently as you feel adequate

34
Q

what should you not mix w fluoride

A

chlorhexidine rinse

35
Q

how should antimicrobials be used

A
36
Q

40
Q

what is the iodine treatment

A

antimicrobial, its hospital dentistry. requires long contact time.

41
Q

how should carifree ctx3 be taken, whats its ingredients. does it have alcohol?

A

maintenance rinse-

  • daily to prevent dental caries infection from returning.
  • rinse with 10 ml for 1 minute (usually twice a day, for xerostemia- use more frequently, especially after snacking)
  • pH 8.0

active ingredients - .05% NAF

other ingredients; 25% xylitol

43
Q

how is high fluoride toothpaste used

A

5000 ppm

1.1% Na fluoride

pea sized amount twice a day

NOT for young children.

OTC is like 1k-1200ppm, much more.

44
Q

whats the ingredients in MI paste,how is it used

-paste vs ONE

A

active ingredient: recaldent (CPP-ACP) a complex of casein phosphopeptides (CPP) and amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP)

  • DONT rx for someone with a milk protein allergy (caesin IgE)
  • helps remineralization, root sensitivity, and pH neutralization. (pH 7.8)
  • xerostemia/salivary gland hypofunction use. rub on cotton swab or clean finger several times a day and/or use a bleaching tray overnight.
  • apply w/toothbrush is not recommended its sticky.

MI Paste plus- with fluoride

MI paste one- can brush teeth w it.

45
Q

whats in fluoride varnish, how does it work and when used

A

white or clear usually

-5% NA fluoride= 22,600 ppm!!!!

time released fluoride for months

safe for infants and children.

should be considered after cleanings.

46
Q

how does xylitol gum/mints work and what is it

-recommended dose for gum/mints

A

naturally occuring sugar. slowly absorbed so lower caloric intake than other sugars. doesnt require insulin for metabolism. maintains neutral oral pH.

decreases adhesion of bacteria to teeth.

bacteria cant metabolize it. -strongly anti-acidogenic bacteria and decay

dosing:

gum: each piece is 1 gram of xylitol, recommended 6-10 grams (pieces) a day
mints: each piece is .5 grams of xylitol. 12-20 pieces each day is ideal.

A

Rec for xerostemic patients!

  • calcium hydroxide w/9 pH
  • 35% xylitol, glycerine also
  • 2-3 sprays as often as needed
  • raises pH and prevents demineralization.

fits in pocket.
