describe plaque biofilm induced gingivitis
* supragingival plaque accumulates on teeth --> inflammatory cells infiltrate in gingival CT
* junctional epithelium becomes disrupted
* allows apical migration of plaque and increase in gingival sulcus depth - gingival pocket/false pocket
* no periodontal attachment loss
41
most apical extension of junctional epithelium is
* cemento-enamel junction
* CEJ

* always test adjacent and opposing teeth in addition to those obviously injured - may have recieved direct or indirect concussive injuries
* continue sensibility testing for at least 2 years after an injury
68
dental trauma
detailed intraoral exam
* sensibility test - thermal or electrical
* percussion - duller note may indicate root #

* follow up 6-8weeks, 6 months and 1 year
* 0% risk of pulp necrosis
75
enamel dentine # management/follow up/prognosis
* either bond fragment to tooth or place composite "bandage" - line restoration if fracture close to pulp
* take 2 periapical radiographs to rule out root fracture or luxation
* radiograph any lip or cheek lacerations to rule out embedded fragment
* sensibility testing and evaluate tooth maturity
* definitive restoration
* follow up 6-8weeks, 6 months and 1 year
* 5% risk of pulp necrosis at 10 years
76
enamel / enamel dentine # follow up
* review 6-8 weeks, 6 months and at one year
* use trauma sticker for clinical review
* check radiographs for - root development, width of canal and length, internal and external inflammatory resorption and periapical pathology
77
enamel dentine pulp # management
* evaluate exposure - size of pulp exposure, time since injury, associated PDL injuries
* choose from 3 options
* 1. pulp cap
* 2. partial pulpotomy
* 3. full coronal pulpotomy
* avoid full extirpation unless tooth is clearly non-vital
78
enamel dentine pulp # management
direct pulp cap tx/follow up
* for tiny exposure 1mm within 24h window
* should be non TTP and positive to sensibility test
* trauma sticker and radiographic assessment
* LA, rubber dam
* clean area with water then disinfect area with sodium hypochlorite
* apply calcium hydroxide (dycal) or MTA white to pulp exposure
* restore tooth with quality composite restoration
* review 6-8weeks, 6 months, 1 year
79
enamel dentine pulp # management
partial pulpotomy tx/follow up
* for larger exposre >1mm or 24+ hours since trauma
* trauma sticker and radiographic assessment
* LA, dam, clean area with saline
* disinfect area with sodium hypochlorite
* remove 2mm of pulp with high speed round diamon bur
* place saline soaked CW pellet over exposure until haemostasis achieved - if no bleeding or cant arrest bleeding proceed with full coronal pulpotomy
* apply CaOH (dycal) or white MTA and then GI
* restore with composite
* follow up 6-8 weeks, 6 months and 1 year - clinical and radiographic review
80
enamel dentine pulp # management
full coronal pulpotomy tx/follow up
* begin with partial pulpotomy
* assess for haemostasis after application of saline soaked cotton wool
* if cannot stop bleeding (hyperaemic) or necrotic proceed to full coronal pulpotomy
* place calcium hydroxide in pulp chamber
* seal with GIC lining and quality coronal restoration
* follow up - 6-8weeks, 6 months and 1 year - clinical and radiographic review
81
enamel dentine pulp # management
aim of pulpotomy
* to keep vital pulp tissue within the canal
* to allow normal root growht (apexogenesis) both in legnth of root and thickness of the dentine
82
enamel dentine pulp # management
if tooth non-vital and immature apex
* full pulpectomy required
* problem - no apical stop to allow obturation with GP
* options:
1. CaOH placed in canal to induce hard tissue barrier to form (apexification)
2. MTA/biodentine placed at apex to create cement barrier
3. regenerative endodontic technique to encourage hard tissue formation at apex
83
enamel dentine pulp # management
non vital tooth with open apex tx steps
* pulpectomy
* rubber dam and access
* haemorrhage control - LA/sterile water
* diagnostic radiograph for WL
* file 2mm short of WL
* dry canal, non setting CaOH in pulp chamber plus cotton wool
* GIC temp on top
* best practice - extirpate pulp and have CaOH no longer 4-6 weeks after identified as non-vital then MTA plug and heated obturation
84
uncomplicated crown root # management
* no pulp exposure
* tx options:
* fragment removal only and restore
* fragment removal and gingivectomy - if palatal subgingival extension

91
indications for the use of GA in children

* the surgeon needs the child to be fully anaesthetised before dental tx can be performed
92
general considerations when discussing use of GA with child and carer
* co-operative ability of the child
* percieved anxiety and how child has responded to similar procedures
* degree of surgical trauma anticipated
* complexity of the operative procedure
* medical status of the child
93
circumstances and conditions suitable for GA

* medical problems which are better controlled under use of GA
95
guidelines for the use of GA
explanation of risk

* small but real risk of catastrophe during GA
96
guidelines for the use of GA
tx planning

* unrestorable asymptomatic teeth should be removed in addition to those causing pain or sepsis
* most predictably successful restoration provided
* further preventive advice
97
guidelines for the use of GA
consent
* obtained at the time of tx planning and updated on the day of operation
* ensure parents understand whether primary/permanent/both are in tx plan
* interpreting services must be used if parents may not understand nature of proposed tx
* explain that decision about no. fillings/X can sometimes only be made with the child fully anaesthetised
98
guidelines for the use of GA
pre-op assessment advantages
* allowing dentist sufficiet tim to explain tx required and assess parents understanding
* allowing parents and child time to consider tx and ask further Qs
99
guidelines for the use of GA
discharge

100
guidelines for the use of GA
clinical effectiveness

* PMC are most predictable and durable restoration
* pulp therapy with caution under GA due to clinical failure rates unless contra-indications to X
101
guidelines for the use of GA
repeat GA
* undesirable in terms of morbidity, potential mortality, behavioural/emotional effects of pt and cost
* can be due to failures in tx plan or failure of preventive counselling adoption

* avoid contact sport whilst splint in lace
* careful oral hyiene
* with use of chlorhexidine gluconate mouthwash 0.12%
238
supporting tissue injuries
main post-trauma complications
1. pulp necrosis and infection
2. pulp canal obliteration
3. root resorption
4. breakdown of marginal gingiva and bone
239
supporting tissue injuries
external surface resorption
* superfician resorption lacunae - repaired with new cementum
* response to localised injury
* not progressice
240
supporting tissue injuries
external infection related root resorption
* non-vital tooth
* inidiated by PDL damage and propagated by root canal toxins reaching external root surface
* diagnosis: indistinct root surface, root canal tramlines intact
* rapid
* management: remove stimulus, endo tx
* non setting CaOH 4-6 weeks then obturate
241
supporting tissue injuries
ankylosis related root resorption
* initiated by severe damage to PDL and cemenutm
* normal repair does not occur - bone cels faster than PDL fibroblasts
* radiographically shows ragged root outline and no obvious PDL space
* tx: plan loss
242
supporting tissue injuries
internal infection related root resorption
* due to progressive pulp necrosis
* radiographically shows symmetrical expansion of root canal walls (ballooning) and tramlines of root canal indistinct, root surface intact
* tx: remove stimulus, endo tx
* non setting CaOH 4-6 weeks then obturate with GP
* if progressive plan for loss
