Study Notes
Pathological Halitosis
- A more recent revised aetiological classification of pathological halitosis has proposed a division into two types.
- 90% of halitosis cases originate from the oral cavity.
- Genuine halitosis can be sub-divided into either "oral halitosis" or "extrinsic halitosis".
- Halitophobia is the irrational fear of having bad breath.
- The gold standard measure of halitosis is organoleptic assessment using a halimeter.
- The oral causes of halitosis are: dental caries, periodontal disease, poor oral hygiene, xerostomia, tongue coating and smoking.
- The non-oral/other causes of halitosis are: sinusitis, tonsillitis, post nasal drip, gastrointestinal problems, certain foods, medications, and metabolic disorders.
- Volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) are the main compounds responsible for intra-oral halitosis.
- The dental hygienist/dental therapist should consider an onward referral if the halitosis is persistent, if the patient presents with unusual symptoms, and if the patient is unresponsive to treatment.
- A secondary local factor in periodontal disease is a factor that contributes to the progression of the disease and exacerbates the primary aetiological factor.
- The main aetiological factor in periodontal disease is dental plaque.
- Developmental secondary local risk factors in periodontal disease are: enamel pearls, root grooves, and developmental enamel defects.
- Iatrogenic secondary local risk factors in periodontal disease are: restorations with overhangs, poorly contoured crowns, and orthopaedic appliances.
- Calculus is identified as a secondary local factor for the following reasons:
- It is a bacterial nidus.
- It increases plaque retention.
- Its rough surface makes it difficult for plaque to be removed.
- It can cause trauma to the gingiva.
- It can cause a change in the oral microbiome.
- A traumatic overbite can cause plaque retention due to: a misaligned bite, a deep overbite, and a lack of tooth contact.
- Trauma which is a secondary local risk factor for periodontal disease is:
- Direct trauma from biting on hard objects.
- Trauma from chewing habits.
- Trauma from a tooth fracture.
- Areas to highlight in Charlie’s mouth when giving oral hygiene coaching:
- Around the fixed orthodontic appliance.
- In interdental spaces.
- On the lingual surfaces of lower anterior teeth.
- On the buccal surfaces of upper molars.
- The correct notation for the mandibular left permanent canine is 33.
- The incisors cut and tear food.
- The permanent mandibular central incisors generally erupt at 6-7 years of age.
- The permanent maxillary lateral incisor is likely to have the greatest degree of variation.
- The canines are designed to pierce, tear and hold food.
- The permanent maxillary canines erupt in the mouth at approximately 11-12 years of age.
- The crowns of the maxillary canines appear slightly more yellow than the other teeth because they have a thicker layer of enamel.
- The maxillary right permanent canine is denoted by 13.
- There are no fossae on the occlusal surfaces of the canines.
- The permanent mandibular central incisor is the widest anterior tooth.
- The correct notations of the permanent mandibular left second incisor are 32.
- The premolars are designed to crush and grind food.
- The correct notations for the mandibular right second premolar are 35.
- The maxillary first premolar erupts at 10-11 years of age.
- The tooth with a distinct depression on the mesial surface and 2 roots is the maxillary first premolar.
- The groove found on the mesial surface of the maxillary first premolar is the marginal groove.
- The mandibular second premolar might have 2 cusps.
- The mandibular first premolar erupts at approximately 10-11 years of age.
- The correct notations for the maxillary left first premolar are 24.
- The triangular ridge that runs across the occlusal surface of the maxillary molars is called the oblique ridge.
- The molars function to crush, grind and chew.
- The maxillary second molar erupts at 12-13 years of age.
- The maxillary first molar has a 'Y' shaped fissure pattern occlusally.
- The Cusp of Carabelli is usually found on the mesiolingual cusp of the maxillary first molar.
- The maxillary first and second molars erupt at 6-7 years of age.
- The mandibular forst molar has five cusps.
- Calculus is considered a risk factor because it is a nidus for bacteria, which can lead to inflammation and periodontal disease.
- Dental calculus is mineralised (petrified) dental plaque and does not directly cause periodontal disease, but it is a risk factor.
- Kate should be reassured that calculus is harmless.
- Methods of calculus detection include:
- Visual inspection
- Tactile examination
- Use of a dental explorer
- Sam’s oral hygiene should target areas around the prosthesis, since plaque retention can lead to peri-implant mucositis.
- Supra and sub gingival calculus both derive their minerals from saliva; however, subgingival calculus derives its minerals from gingival crevicular fluid.
- The composition of dental calculus consists of organic & inorganic substances, split roughly 50/50.
- The composition of inorganic material in dental calculus is not 10-30%, it is 60-80%.
- The mechanisms for attachment of calculus to a tooth surface are:
- Acquired pellicle
- Direct attachment
- Attachment via bacterial matrix
- The first permanent molars calcify at 2 years of age.
- The first permanent tooth erupts at 6 years of age.
- At 6-7 years of age you would expect to see the following dentition:
- Maxillary first molars
- Mandibular first molars
- Central incisors.
- At 8-9 years of age you would expect to see the following dentition:
- Lateral incisors
- Canines
- First Premolars
- Second Premolars
- Second Molars.
- Knowing the sequence of eruption/exfoliation helps to identify and explain anomalies such as Molar-incisor hypomineralisation (MIH).
- The order of eruption for deciduous dentition is:
- Mandibular central incisors
- Maxillary central incisors
- Mandibular lateral incisors
- Maxillary lateral incisors
- Mandibular canines
- Maxillary canines
- Mandibular first molars
- Maxillary first molars
- Mandibular second molars
- Maxillary second molars.
- The order of eruption for maxillary permanent dentition is:
- Incisors
- Canines
- Premolars
- Molars.
- The first permanent tooth to erupt is the mandibular first molar.
- The action of the orbicularis oris muscle is to compress and protrude the lips.
- The buccinator is innervated by the cervical branch of the facial nerve.
- The masseter is supplied by the masseteric nerve.
- The zygomaticus major is supplied by the temporal branch of the facial nerve.
- The procerus muscle originates from the bridge of the nose, is supplied by the temporal artery and pulls the eyebrows medially.
- The temporalis is a fan shaped muscle, inserts into the coronoid process and ramus of the mandible, elevates the mandible, supplied by the deep temporal nerve.
- The lateral pterygoid muscle is a short thick muscle originating from 2 heads, upper head originates from the greater wing of the sphenoid bone, inserts into the pterygoid fovea, opens and protrudes the mouth.
- Superior glide is not one of the movements of the mandible.
