Study Notes
Case 2 - Oral Hygiene and Restorations
- A 25-year-old patient presented with three restorations and exhibited bleeding gums.
- Probing depths for the quadrant were documented.
- The patient's oral hygiene routine consisted of brushing two or three times weekly, and rinsing with Scope mouthwash on non-brushing days. Flossing was not part of their routine.
- Preoperative and postoperative radiographs illustrate the restorative work.
Restorative Procedure Details
- Amalgam restorations were performed.
- Rubber dam isolation was used for the restorative procedure.
Patient Concerns and Conditions
- The patient's bleeding gums and easy bleeding indicated potential periodontal disease.
- The patient's routine did not include flossing.
Restoration Amalgama Nomenclature
- Distal surface to the most distal tooth was named. The naming sequence was disto-occlusal, mesio-occlusal, distal-occluso-lingual.
Periodontal Assessments
- Periodontal measurements for specific teeth were recorded. This data is significant for monitoring oral health.
Restoration Finishing and Polishing
- Amalgam restorations were finished using a combination of burring and pumice / whiting slurries.
- Slurries of pumice and tin oxide were used, which allowed for smoother surface finish and improved aesthetics.
Monitoring Procedures
- A holistic approach is essential for monitoring oral health.
- Periodontal health assessments and evaluations were indicated.
- All teeth should not be monitored in the same way as some could indicate greater need for followups.
