Susan, is a 29 year-old patient who is a regular attender at your practice, she has previously undergone periodontal treatment. She attends your practice as an emergency pain appointment, complaining of pain in her upper front tooth. On examination you notice a swelling pertaining to the 11 as above, the tooth is TTP and there is associated lymphadenopathy.
2 differential dx
periodontal abscess
periapical abscess
2 special investigations undertake for this
periapical radiograph
sensibility testing (EPT, ECl)
2 ways could drain this swelling
incise and drain
drain through periodontal pocket
initial management of this swelling if not endodontically involved
- LA and drain abscess through pocket
- 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)
- review to ensure resolution at 10days and further PMPR
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
- unfavourable occlusion
- insufficient coverage with adhesive wing for bonding
- poor enamel quality of abutments
- inadequate moisture control during cementation
- caries
4 methods of checking bridge debonding clinically
- pressing on the pontic and looking for movement of adhesive wings
- pressing on adhesive wings and looking for bubbling of saliva at wing/tooth interface
- explore the margins with a proble looking for defects and place probe under pontic and apply coronal pressure and looking for movement of adhesive wing
- try and pass floss under adhesive wing
- radiograph?

alternative to replce tooth other than bridge
alternative bridge design
RPD or implant
adhesive cantilever using 21 as retainer only or spring cantilever using 16 as retainer
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.
decide implant next
give 2 general and 2 local factors to check prior to implant placement
general - head and neck cancer tx (radiotherapy), bisphophonate use, diabetic, smoking status
local - bone height, space available between existing teeth and roots, OH, rotations/drifting of tooth
patient is attending treatment area for the extraction of their lower left third molar due to persistent pericoronitis
7 features that indicate a close proximity to IDC
- deflection of canal
- deflection of roots
- interruption of tramlines of canal
- narrowing of canal
- narrowing of roots
- juxta apical area
- darking of roots where crosses the IDC
