Study Notes
Pharmacology and Medications
- Fluoxetine is classified as a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI).
- Inhibition of cyclooxygenase (Cox) enzymes leads to a decrease in thromboxane, a hormone involved in platelet aggregation.
- Gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity is the most common adverse effect associated with NSAIDs.
- Bupropion (Wellbutrin) acts by inhibiting the reuptake of norepinephrine and dopamine.
- Aspirin is the first medication administered to a patient experiencing a myocardial infarction (MI), followed by nitroglycerine.
- Meperidine is classified as an opioid analgesic.
- Methadone is used as a treatment for patients with opioid or narcotic addiction.
- Flumazenil (Romazicon) is the medication that reverses benzodiazepine effects.
Oral and Maxillofacial Considerations
- An excisional biopsy is the preferred method for treating a mucocele.
- Marsupialization is a common treatment technique for a ranula.
- Cotton wool radiopaque lesions on imaging are indicative of Paget's disease of bone.
- A step ladder pattern observed on an X-ray is characteristic of sickle cell anemia.
- Bisphenol A in composites can cause allergic reactions if not properly polymerized.
Microbiology and Infectious Diseases
- Treponema pallidum can be confirmed via partial agglutination assay and causes syphilis.
- Civatte bodies are a histological feature associated with lichen planus.
- After Candida, Aspergillus spp. is the most prevalent oral fungal species.
- Myxedema coma is associated with hypothyroidism, commonly presenting with lethargy.
Surgical Considerations
- Vicryl sutures undergo resorption through a process of acid hydrolysis.
- Cleft lip surgery is typically performed around 10 months of age.
Dental Materials and Techniques
- The Herbst appliance is utilized to guide a Class II occlusion anteriorly.
- Zirconia crowns can undergo transformation toughening, sealing cracks from the yttrium to a monolithic phase.
- Trapezoidal is not a recognized form of zirconia; other forms include cubic, monoclinic, and tetragonal.
- Fillers are used in resin matrix composites to reduce polymerization shrinkage.
- Chromium is added to base metal alloys to enhance corrosion resistance.
- Titanium alloys are known for releasing toxic vanadium as a restorative material.
Developmental and Pediatric Considerations
- The hard palate completes fusion at approximately 9 weeks gestation.
- Pediatric patients with celiac disease do not have premature eruption of teeth.
- Early childhood caries can be reversible.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- The order of donning personal protective equipment (PPE) is gown, mask, goggles, and gloves.
- The correct order for doffing (removing) PPE is gloves, goggles, gown, mask, followed by hand washing.
Photoinitiators and Absorption
- The peak absorption range of the most commonly used photoinitiator in dental resins is at 468 nm.
Pharmacological Classes
- Medications ending in -osin, like alfuzosin, are alpha-1 blockers.
- Medications ending in -olol, such as metoprolol, are beta-1 blockers.
- Medications ending in -ol, like carvedilol, are classified as alpha and beta blockers.
- Tetracycline is known to cause Fanconi syndrome as a side effect.
