AHEAD Test and Discussions SAQ

Short answers From a personal experience, do not write too much in the short answers exam; write just heading or points of the procedures or description March 2000 1. From the medical history you find the patient is on Tricyclic Anti-depression medication.

How would you manage this patient? Complete building the medical and the dental history to reach a proper diagnosis and find the aetiology of the chief complaint so I can start assessing the case by evaluating the available information; the overall case assessment is an essential step that allows the considerations of treatment options and a provisional treatment plan to be formulated. Consult the patients GP for any precautions should be taking or any modification to the treatment should be followed. Resolution of any acute problems and stabilisation or elimination of active disease. If it is not possible to get in contact with the GP refer to the MIMs to get more information about the drug to find out what I can or I can not prescribe Assessing and managing accordingly any emergencies situations that exist, acute pain, bleeding swellingetc Eliminating any acute problems or active diseases I will assess the periodontal tissues and elimination of any active diseases, regeneration of the periodontal attachment loos and stabilisation of gingival contours would be my next step in managing the patient. Reassessment of the periodontal situation by assessing the patient occlusal stability and plan for any restorative or prosthetic management. Finally and it is an important part is the patient consultation to present and discuss the treatment plan and give the alternative options, obtaining a patient consent/s, arrange for appointments and financial considerations Reconfirm the definitive treatment plan and make sure the patients expectations are what the result would be. Tricyclic has a side affects on the oral cavity by causing dry mouth; and systemically it causes blurred vision, constipation, and difficulty in urination; postural hypotension; tachycardia, increased sensitivity to the sun; weight gain; sedation (sleepiness); increased sweating. Some of these side effects will disappear with the passage of time or with a decrease in the dosage. Bear in mind all this information should be recorded appropriately for future follow up and to adhere to the Australian Dental Board policies. 2. A 23 year-old female comes to you with Gingival abscess in the right upper central incisor region which she had a blow to 10 days ago; since then the tooth is a bit loose, now she is complaining of pain and tenderness started two days ago. What is your management? Gathering general information including but not limited to name, age, sex, previous major operations, any medication is taken at the time she is presentedetc. mostly this is prepared and universal for all patients. Building the medical and the dental history to help building a proper diagnosis and find the aetiology of the chief complaint so I can start assessing the case by evaluating the available information; the overall case assessment is an essential step that allows the considerations of treatment options and a provisional treatment plan to be formulated. Clinical examination in both directions Extra and intra. Extra examination includes the general morphology, skeletal base, skin colour and lesions, eyes, lymph nodes, lip, breathing, TMJ and masticatory muscles. Intra orally starts with soft tissues and oral mucosa and muscles followed by the dental examination by examining the teeth and focusing on the tissues, bone and teeth next to tenderness and the blow area; and look for any attrition, abrasion, erosion, or hypominerlization on the tooth surface or any abnormality in the gingivae or hard tissues Faceting, fracture or caries of the enamel then examine the periodontal tissues and record any tooth mobility or badly restored teeth. Check the occlusal view if possible and the result of the blow on the occlusal harmony and the other tissues. Order any special tests required and in this case a periapical to start with seems to be essential. Assess the case and advise for a rigid splint or extraction and fixed prothesis lateretc and this is completely demandant on the outcome of the assessment. Transfer the treatment options to the patient in a simple language and this stage should include the approximate cost and any need for future follow up. 3. A 13 year old patient has rampant caries and gingival swelling.

What are the causes? How to prevent them? What is your management? Most probable cause of the rampant caries is the frequent intake of sugar, then the oral hygiene methods that have been adapted by the patient. But we must be able to visualize adequately a childs teeth and mouth and have access to a reliable historian for non-clinical data elements.

Prevention programme starts with assessing all 3 components of caries riskclinical conditions, environmental characteristics, and general health conditions; a complete analysing of the diet regime; then build a new diet system prevents less frequent take of carbohydrates and in sever cases could include changing sugar to carbohydrate free substitute. Endorsing a good oral hygiene plan that suits the patient and the advice for a regular topical fluoride application is as important as the diet. Systemic fluoride may be applicable depends on the case and the water fluoridation program in the area. The management includes, Gathering general information including but not limited to name, age, sex, previous major operations, any medication is taken at the time she is presentedetc. mostly this is prepared and universal for all patients. Building the medical and the dental history to reach a proper diagnosis and find the aetiology of the chief complaint so I can start assessing the case by evaluating the available information; the overall case assessment is an essential step that allows the considerations of treatment options and a provisional treatment plan to be formulated. Clinical examination in both directions Extra and intra.

Check the occlusal view if possible and the result of the blow on the occlusal harmony and the other tissues. Assess the case and treat according to the diagnosis outcome; bearing in mind that the target is to treat the acute problems or manage any source of pain then reserve as much as possible of the child teeth tissues. 4. Patient with chronic periodontic disease. What are the factors that will influence the management and outcome of this patient? The overall clinical factors are: Patient age: for two patients with comparable level of the remaining connective tissues attachment and alveolar bone, the prognosis is better in the older of two. For the younger patient, the prognosis is not as good because of the short time frame in which the periodontal destruction has occurred. In some cases this is maybe because the younger patient suffers from an aggressive type of periodontitis. Disease severity: Studies have demonstrated that a patients history of previous periodontal disease may be indicative of their susceptibility for future periodontal break down. Prognosis is adversely affected if the base of the pocket is close to the root apex. Also the height of the remaining bone, all these should be weighed against the benefits that would accrue to the adjacent teeth if the tooth under consideration were extracted. Plaque control: bacterial plaque is the primary etiological factor associated with periodontal disease. Therefore effective removal of plaque on daily basis by patient is critical to the success of the periodontal therapy and to the prognosis. Patient complaisance/ cooperation: the prognosis for patients with gingival and periodontal disease is critically dependant on the patients attitude and desire to retain natural teeth, and willingness and ability to maintain good oral hygiene. Without these, treatment can not succeed. There are systemic and environmental factors such as: Smoking: Epidemiologic evidence suggests that smoking may be the most important environmental risk factor impacting the development and progression of periodontal disease. Therefore it should be made clear to the patient that a direct relationship exist between smoking and the prevalence and incidence of periodontitis. Also patient should be informed about the effects of smoking on the healing process. Systemic disease /condition: the patients systemic background affects overall prognosis in several ways. For example, studies have shown that the severity of periodontitis is significantly higher in patients with type I and II diabetes than in those without diabetes. Patients with diabetes or with newly diagnosed diabetes should be informed about the impact of diabetic control on the development and progression of periodontal disease. Genetic factors: periodontal diseases represent a complex interaction between microbial challenge and the hosts response to that challenge, both of which may be influenced by environmental factors such as smoking. There also is evidence that genetic factors may play an important role in determining the nature of the host response. Stress: physical and emotional stress, as well as substance abuse, may alter the patients ability to respond to the periodontal treatment performed. The Local Factors: Plaque /calculus: the microbial challenge presented by bacterial plaque and calculus is the most important local factor in periodontal diseases. Therefore in most cases, having a good prognosis is dependent on the ability of the patient and the clinician to remove these etiologic factors Subgingival restorations: may contribute to increased plaque accumulation, increased inflammation and increased bone loss when compared with supragingival margins.
