Fluorosis

  • Increase exposure to fluoride during tooth formation will lead to dental fluorosis.
  • Normal optimum level of water fluoride is upto 1ppm
  • Increasesd level of fluoride more then 1ppm will cause fluorosis
  • Clinically it appears as white opaque areas to brown discoloration and pitting of enamal
  • In severe cases hypomineralised enamel becomes very fragile and undergo surface damage
  • Management of dental fluorosis varies according to severity
  • In Mild cases micro and macro-abrasions and bleaching are treatment options
  • In moderate cases composite restoration and veneers are treatment options
  • In severe cases full crowns

 

Broken / fractured endodontic instrument

Broken instrument is one of the procedural accidents that occurs during cleaning and shaping of root canal system.

Causes of broken instrument in root canal:

  1. Improper use of instrument
  2. Same instrument used for many times
  3. Excessive force applied to file during cleaning and shaping

Prevention

  1. Lubrication of instrument with irrigating solution such as sodium hypochlorite or with lubricating agent EDTA (ethyl diamine tetra acetic acid)
  2. Instrument should be examined before use, if there is and untwisting in file which will be visible as shiny spot then it should be discarded
  3. Small no. of files must be discarded after single use.
  4. NiTi files do not show any sign of untwisting so they must be discarded before untwisting is seen

Management

There are three methods of management

  1. Make an attempt to remove it
  2. Attempt to bypass it
  3. Fill and obdurate it.

 

Dental Fistula/ Cutaneous Fistula of Dental Origin/ Suppurative Apical Periodontitis/ Apical Periodontitis With Fistula.

  • Dental fistula is a communication between the oral cavity and cutaneous surface of face
  • It is a squeal of infection from dental pulp that spread beyond the apex
  • Generally it is a painless condition because when drainage occurs, pressure relieves and symptoms disappear.
  • Chronic inflammation involves apical portion of tooth’s root.
  • Drainage mostly occur within oral cavity on facial or buccal side of alveolar ridge
  • Rarely occurs on cutaneous surface of face
  • Intraoral sinus tracts are common but extra oral fistula is not common.
  • Treatment involves complete debridement and obturation of root canal or Extraction.
