Q

Evidence Based Dentistry with DM and implants

A

During irradiation treatment
When patient has irradiation induced mucositis

24
Q

Preoperative Management of irradiated pts
prophylaxis?
controversial option? when?
immeadiate load?

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Antibiotic prophylaxis and strict surgical sepsis.
  • Render Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment (HBOT) when
    the total irradiation dose is ≥ 50 Grays. Promote neo-angiognesis and Enhance bone healing
  • Avoid immediate loading and use implant supported
    prosthesis without mucosal contact
25
MRONJ
Medication Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaws due to Bisphosphonates (BP) or Denosumab Interfere with bone turnover at the dental implant interface Increase the risk of developing osteonecrosis of the jaws (ONJ)
26
- Current evidence found the higher risk of ONJ for the following situations regarding BP
- Intravenous BP - Prolonged duration (both oral and IV) - Posterior areas after implant placement
27
Cancer patients treated with intravenous BP are?
Cancer patients treated with intravenous BP are contraindicated for implant placement
28
oral BP contraindication?
- Oral BP are not considered a contraindication - In patients taking oral BP for ≤ 5 years, neither the short term (1-4 years) implant survival nor the risk of ONJ seem to be increased. - Explain in details the possible risk of complications is important
29
Preoperative Management of BP pt - informed consent? - Reduce the? - antisepsis? - Drug Holiday?
- A separate informed consent form discussing the risks - Reduce the surgical trauma - Antibiotic prophylaxis and antiseptic mouthwashes - Drug Holiday: limited evidence - Discontinue BP 2 months before and 3 months after surgery for ≥ 4 years in patients taking BP alone or associated with corticosteroids/anti-angiogenic medication
30
common bleeding dx seen
Inherited bleeding disorders: - Von Willebrand Disease - Hemophilia A and Hemophila B Medication associated bleeding disorders: - Oral anticoagulants - Antiplatelet Medication
31
inherited bleeding and implants
- Inherited bleeding disorder may increase the risk of hemorrhage during implant surgery. - Not a contraindication for implant survival/success
32
preop managment of bleeding pts - Carefully plan? - Assessment and augmentation of? level? - Avoid?
- Carefully plan any elective surgery and discuss with the patients’ physician /hematologist. - Assessment and augmentation of the deficient coagulation factor before surgery if necessary:** minimum level of 50% ** - Avoid advanced implant surgical procedures (eg. direct sinus lift and bone graft harvest procedures)
33
operative managment of bleeding pts - LA? - sutures? - local measure? - anti-fibrinolytic agents?
- Use local anesthesia with vasoconstrictor (slow injection technique and fine needles) - Use appropriate suturing technique - Use local hemostatic measures to achieve hemostasis - Use anti-fibrinolytic agents (5% tranexamic mouthwash) during surgery and up to 7 days post- surgery
34
postop bleeding pt managment - Reduce the risk of? how? - postoperative bleeding? - Discuss the use of what with the physician?
- Reduce the risk of the infection -Use topical antiseptics (chlorhexidine mouthwashes) or antibiotics - Reduce the risk of postoperative bleeding - Discuss the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications for pain management with the physician
35
Anticoagulants and Antiplatelet medication
The patients who are currently taking oral anticoagulants or antiplatelet drugs are at higher risk of hemorrhage during implant surgery warfarin, pradaxa, xarelto, plavix
36
short half life anticoag | examples/when stopped?
- Short half life (12hrs) - Examples: Pradaxa and Xarelto - Stopped 1 day before the Implant procedure
37
long half life anticoag | example/risk of?
- Longer half life (20-60hrs) - Examples: Coumadin - Risk at developing a thromboembolic episode if stopped
38
can we decide to stop anticoags
no must be MD
39
Preoperative Management of anticoag pts - Medical interactions? - Monitor what?
Preoperative Management - Medical interactions increase the anticoagulant effect of Coumadin- Antibiotics: amoxicillin, erythromycin, metronidazole, clarithromycin, ciprofloxacin - Analgesics: NSAID - Monitor INR (2-3) and platelet count (>50,000/mm3)
40
Contraindications with anticoag pts INR Platelet count
INR >3-3.5 Platelet count <50,000/mm3
41
Operative Management anti coag pts
- Use local hemostatic measures during implant surgery - Same concept as bleeding orders - Anti-fibrinolytic agents, gelfoam, fibrin glue
42
common immuno def disorders seen
HIV Chrons organ transplant
43
HIV-Positive Patients - Dental implant treatment can be rendered only when: - Check the following lab values:
**Dental implant treatment can be rendered only when: ** - The CD4 cell count rates are high - The patient is on antiretroviral treatment **Check the following lab values: ** - CD4 cell count - Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) - Platelet count
44
CD4 count table
* Measure the number of CD4 T lymphocytes * Indicator of the immune system function * The strongest predictor of HIV progression
45
Absolute Neutrophil Count
Measure the number of neutrophil granulocytes present in the blood
46
Organ Transplant Patients
- An accepted treatment for end-stage organ failure - Successful dental implant therapy has been reported in patients receiving organ transplantation (mainly liver and kidney) with long-term cyclosporin therapy
47
Crohn’s Disease Patients
- Characterized by the presence of several antibody antigen complexes, leading to autoimmune inflammatory processes in many parts of the body - A **relative contraindication **for dental implant treatment **"Crohn’s disease showed a significant effect on early implant failure and resulted in increased, however not significant, implant loss.”**
48
is immunocompetence an absolute contra
-Immuno-incompetence is not an contraindication - Appropriate medical consultation - Assess the degree of immuno-compromise - Reduce risk of infections by rendering antibiotic prophylaxis/antiseptic mouthwashes
49
when is it not ok to place implants in immunocompromised pts
- NOT suitable to place dental implants - Significant immunosuppression cases - Eg. Total White Blood Cell count <1,500-3,000/mcL (Normal: 3,500-10,500/mcL)
50
Long Term Effects of Corticosteroids (exogenous)
- Exerts a negative feedback control on the HPA axis - Suppress corticotropin releasing hormone(CRH) then corticotropin(ACTH) secretion - Adrenal atropy and loss of cortisol secretory capability - Reduce bone density, increase epithelial fragility and immunosuppression - Adrenal Crisis
51
Does dental Implant failure rate and/or surgical morbidity increase in patients under systemic corticosteroids?
NO, No evidence in literature that have been demonstrated it.
52
preop managment of corticosteroid pts - Surgery is a potent activator of? - Pain is a critical reason for elevation of? - Access the need of? - For dental implant surgery, steroid dose?
- Surgery is a potent activator of the HPA axis - Pain is a critical reason for elevation of cortisol levels - Access the need of operative corticosteroid coverage - For dental implant surgery, take regular steroid dose prior to the surgical procedure “No need to double the dose of steroids”
53
CVD and implant contraindication
- No evidence that cardiac disorders are contraindicated **Consider other issues:** - The occurrence of bleeding (Hypertension) - Cardiac ischemia (Coronary artery disease)
54
Preoperative Management CVD implant pts - Review changes in? - consult? - Stress reduction? - O2? - Sedation? -LA? - Minimize duration? - Position?
Preoperative Management - Review changes in medical history - Medical consult - Stress reduction protocol - Supplemental oxygen - Sedation - Effective local anesthesia with aspiration (limit epinephrine use) - Minimize duration of appointment - Position semi-supine
55
if pt has MI within 2 months what can be done
only emergency procedures
56
Evidence Based Dentistry for implants in pts with Neuropsychiatric disorders what can affect outcome?
- Implant therapy can be successful **Factors affect the outcome: ** - Poor oral hygiene - Oral parafunctions - Harmful habits - Behavioral problems
57
Preoperative Management of neuropsych pts
