Study Notes
Oral Surgery Definition
- Branch of dentistry focusing on the diagnosis and surgical treatment of oral cavity disorders, injuries, and defects.
- Includes both invasive treatments and adjunctive therapies such as medications.
- Can address corrective issues like orthognathic surgery.
5 Pillars of Patient Management
- Case Discussion and Treatment Planning: Collaborative approach in deciding management strategies.
- Pre-Operative Procedures: Steps taken to prepare patients for surgery.
- Operative Procedures: Execution of surgical interventions.
- Post Operative Procedures: Care and follow-up after surgery.
- Recall: Assessment after extraction including:
- Intact sutures.
- Count of sutures.
- Signs of inflammation or bleeding.
- Examination for sharp bony fragments and assessment of adjacent tooth conditions.
SOAP Framework
- Subjective: Patient's verbal expressions regarding issues and symptoms.
- Objective: Observations and findings noted by the practitioner during examination.
- Assessment: Clinical interpretations derived from subjective and objective data.
- Plan: Proposed management strategy based on assessment.
Common Oral Conditions
- Herpes Labialis: Infection caused by Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV-1) leading to cold sores.
- Herpetic Whitlow: Painful lesion on fingers caused by HSV, often affecting the thumb or index finger.
Mobility Assessment
- Physiologic mobility: 0.25 mm.
- Classes of tooth mobility range from Grade I (0.5-1.0 mm) to Grade III (>2 mm with vertical displacement).
Diagnostic Aids in Tooth Examination
- Percussion: Tests integrity of the periodontal ligament (PDL) by tapping the tooth, not a vitality test.
- Gutta Percha Tracing: Identifies offending tooth by inserting gutta-percha into sinus tracts without anesthesia.
- Transillumination: Light used to detect tooth fractures.
- Electric Pulp Test (EPT): Assesses tooth vitality; requires lubrication with toothpaste.
Types of Radiographs
- Periapical Radiograph: Visualizes structures around the tooth's apex; requires 2mm beyond apex for effective evaluation.
- Bitewing Radiograph: Also known as interproximal radiograph, provides insight into dental hygiene, last dental visit, and dental procedures.
History of Present Illness (HPI)
- Documented chronological account of symptoms related to the chief complaint.
- Key factors include onset, type, duration, and triggers of pain.
- Example: Patient experiences pain related to cold beverages and history of dental issues.
Social and Family History
- Social History: Insights into lifestyle choices (smoking, alcohol use) that impact treatment and healing.
- Family History: Records health information about patient and relatives, crucial for understanding genetic predispositions to conditions.
Occupational Considerations
- Occupational hazards affecting oral health include exposure to pollutants and harmful chemicals, influencing diagnostics and therapeutic strategies.
