Q

what is the aetiology of xerostomia?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • medication
  • radiation
  • salivary gland surgery
  • related to systemic diseases
19
Q

what are some clinical signs of xerostomia?

Study These Flashcards
A

-dry, glosyy atrophic mucosa
-fungal or bacterial mucosal infections
angular chelitis
-caries
-difficulty swallowing/chewing

20
Q

what is the tx of xerostomia?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • change medication
  • saliva substitute
  • flouride supplements
  • excellent OH
21
Q

what is seen as ‘low risk caries’

Study These Flashcards
A
  • regular attender
  • fit and healthy
  • socially advantaged
  • lives in flouridated area
  • low sugar diet
  • good oh
22
Q

what is seen as ‘moderate risk caries’?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • non flouridated are
  • oh fair
  • white spot lesions
  • 2 small restoration
23
Q

what is seen as ‘high caries risk’?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • poor attender
  • special needs
  • socially disadvantaged
  • non-flouridated area
24
Q

what does DIFOTI stand for?

Study These Flashcards
A

digital imaging fibre optic transillumination

25
what is DIAGNOdent?
- laser flourescence | - tooth structure flouresces when irradiated by a laser light of specific wavelength
26
what are the 2 systems of digital imaging?
- cordless | - corded
27
what organism do carious vaccines target?
s.mutans
28
what is the mode of action of flouride?
1. having an effect on enamel structure 2. alteration in tooth morphology 3. action on bacterial plaque
29
in what 2 ways does flouride make the enamel apatite crystals less soluble?
1. becomes incorporated as flourapatite which is less soluble 2. flouride displaces carbon and magnesium ions from apatite crystals
30
in what 3 ways does flouride have an effect on enamel remineralization after acid attack?
1. flouride releases more soluble carbonate of enamel 2. acid attack= release of flouride ions from enamel surface into saliva. favouring remineralisation 3. flouride accumulates in early carious lesions at concentrations high enough to reduce solubility
31
how does flouride alter the shape of teeth?
- wider fissures - more rounded cusps - enamel and dentine thinner
32
what is a gingival abscess?
-abscess confined to the gingivae
33
what is gingival abscess associated with?
-trauma
34
what is a periodontal abscess?
- formation of puss in periodontal tissues - localised area of inflammation - endogenous pyogenic micro-organisms - possible toxic features in plaque
35
what are some examples of/features of a periodontal abscess?
- a consequence of pulp disease - painful - tooth may be mobile, red, swollen - supuration - often associated with a deep pocket
36
when might a perio-endo lesion occur?
- apical abscess has spread laterally - creates a periodontal lesion or unites with a pre-existing lateral lesion - when a perio lesion extends close to the tooth apex - pulp infection has spread via accesory canals into the periodontal tissues
37
what are the 2 types of occlusal trauma?
1. primary occlusal trauma | 2. secondary occlusal trauma
38
what is primary occlusal trauma?
- tissue damage caused by applying excessive occlusal loads to a previously healthy periodontium (eg. ortho tx)
39
what is secondary occlusal trauma?
-tissue dmage caused by normal functional stress applied to an impaired periodontium
40
what are some systemic risk factors? | GEBLTMH
- genetic - enviromental - behavioural - lifestyle - metabloic - harmatological
41
what are the stages of behavioural change?
- precontemplation - contemplation - preperation - action - maintenance - termination
42
what are the 5 A's?
- ask - advise - assess - assist - arrange
43
what are the 5 R's?
- relevance - risk - reward - roadblock - repetition
44
what is sarcoidosis?
- a granulomatous condition of uncertain aetiology | - gingiva may have hyperplastic, granulomatous appearance with superficial ulceration
