Q
What are the steps of pathology for a transverse root fracture?
A
1.Facial trauma, frontal force
2.Transverse fracture – occurs if dentine, cementum and pulp involved, if enamel is also involved – it is a crown root fracture
3.Take radiograph and do all of the test
4.Reparative tissue in a form of tertiary dentine is laied down in the fracture area
5.Over time – root canal stenosis may occur – pulpal tissue will be replaced with deposited hard tissue through “buldging hard tissue” with prior joining of fracture line with fibrous connective tissue - this is done primarily by the pulp - the reparative capacity of dental hard tissue should not be underestimated

- Monitor pulp
- IF PULP BAD THAN TREAT
- Parents must know that follow up visits are essential
For mature teeth:
1. Allow for re-eruption without intervention if intrusion is less than 3 mm. If does not happen after 8 weeks, surgical reposition and splint for 4 weeks or reposition orthodontically before ankylosis develops
- If the tooth is intruded 3-7mm, reposition surgically (prefered) or orthodontically
- If the tooth is intruded beyond 7mm, reposition surgically
- Endo treatment will be probably needed

At apex bone is replaced with fibrous material. Lesion persistent after extraction.
124

Smoking adults. Ill-defined, permeative lesion. Spread localy and lymph nodes. Destroys bone.
125
What is a common appearance of mucoepidermoid carcinoma?
Well-defined border in posterior body or angle of mandible.
126
What is a common appearance of osteogenic sarcoma?
Posterior mandible. Painless swelling. Ill-defined borderd\s. "Sun-ray" spiculation appearance. Breaks bone.
127
What is the common appearance of metastases to the jaw?
Usually from renal, breast, lung, colon and prostate. Affect posterior mandible. Ill-defined, lytic lesions with clear bone destruction.
128
What is the common appearance of osteomyelitis?
PAIn _ subtle changes in bone density. Bone destruction with sequestration formation.
129
What is the common appearance of MRONJ?
Pains, swelling and draining sinuses. Bone destruction. Periosteal reaction is common.
130
What are the 7 signs of IAN involvement?
1.Darkening of the roots
2.Interruption of the white line
3.Diversion of the mandibular canal
4.Deflection of the roots
5.Narrowing of the roots
6.Dark and bifid roots
7.Narrowing of mandibular canal
131
What is the common appearance of fibrous dysplasia?
Genetic disorder resultin in replacing of bone with fibrous tissue. Ill-defined margin and grounnd-glass appearance. Only condition that can displace the mandibular canal superiorly.
132
What is the most important part of pre-implant assessment?
7-10 mm of crestal bone need to be available to withstand stresses.
133
What is important to understand about the alveolar ridge for implants?
When teeth are lost, the ridge is lost. Furthermore, maxillary sinuses into remaining alveolar bone. Disuse atrophy occurs even if well-fitting dentures are used.
134
What are the important aspects of assessment for mandibular implants?
1.Mandibular canal
2.Mental foramen
3.Anterior loop of mandibular canal
4.Incisive branch of IAN
5.Lingual canal in the midline
135
What are the steps for post-implant assessment?
1.Pariapical films are adequate. Less than 0.2mm bone loss annually is normal
2.Mobility assessment
136
What is the Mach effect?
It is an optical illusion. Form of edge enhancement which facilitates the detection of the edges of an object. Basically, the edges between light and dark appear darker. SO NO PATHOLOGY.
137
What can implant do?
Always check for nerve injury and boney plate perforations.
138
What is internal replacement resorption? What is the treatment?
Internal replacement resorption is a process where the pulp and dentin are replaced with bone. It usually begins within the pulp/root canal and on the root canal walls and it progresses towards the cementum. Clinical appearance may be normal or discolored.
Usually as a result of insult to the pulp.
Treatment: observation and eventual extraction. If diagnosed early, root canal treatment may be feasible.
139
What is pressure resorption and orthodontic resorption?
Type of traumatic resorption that occurs due to impacted teeth or orthodontic treatment
140
What is internal inflammatory root resorption?
Resorption that occurs internally
141
What is external inflammatory root resorption?
Resorption due to periapicla infection
142
What is communication internal-external inflammatory resorption?
Both internala nd external resorptions
143
What is surface resorption?
Type of trauma-induced tooth resorption. Involves cementum and small amount of dentine.
144
What is Transient apical internal resorption?
This process can follow luxation injuries and may be associated with TAB
145
What is replacement resorption?
Can follow trauma. Tooth structure is replaced.
146
What is considered to be moderate diffuclty in the AAE classifications?
One or two of the following:
1. ASA class 3 patient
2. Vasoconstrictors intolerance
3. Anxiety
4. Limitation in opening
5. Gagging
6. Moderate pain or swelling
7. extensive differential diagnosis
8. Difficulty in obtaining radiographs
9. 1st molar
10. Moderate inclination - 10-30 degress
11. Soem trouble with rubber dam
12. Coronal distruction or complex restoration
13. Canal morphology is slightly more complex
14. Pulp stones
15. 3-5 mm near the IAN
16. Minimal apical resorption
17. Crown fracture
18. Previous access without complications
19. Endo-perio lesion
147
What is considered to be high diffuclty in the AAE classifications?
3 or more in moderate difficulty and at least one in the high diffuculty such as?
1. ASA 4
2. Can't get anaesthesia
3. Uncooperative
4. Significant limitation in opening
5. Extreme gaggin
6. Sever pain
7. History of orofacial pain
8.2nd or 3rd molar
9. Extreme inclanation
10. Extreme rotation
11. Significant deviation from normal tooth/root form
12. C-shape morphology, extreme curvature or S-shape curve, rare root morphology, very long teeth
13. Pulp chaber not visible
14. extremly close to IAN (<3mm)
15. Extreme resopriton
14. Root fractures
15. Previous endo
