The radiograph I thought was ghost teeth is associated with Amelogenesis Imperfecta.
The purpose of dialysis is to remove potential toxicities from the blood.
IL-1 is classified as an inflammatory cytokine.
Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant used in transplant patients and can cause gingival hyperplasia.
Periodontal disease and diabetes have a connection where glucose levels are increased.
The cause for cement failure is increased solubility.
Before trimming teeth on a stone cast for an immediate denture, you must mark a line 3 mm above the
free gingival margin.
The analgesic that can be safely given to someone with kidney disease is Tylenol (acetaminophen) ONLY;
NSAIDs and aspirin should be avoided.
For patients on dialysis, blood pressure should not be taken on the side where the shunt was placed for
dialysis.
To prevent syncope, the Trendelenburg position is recommended.
To treat syncope, place the patient in the Trendelenburg position. If breathing is present, crush an
ammonia ampule under the nose and administer oxygen. If no breathing, start Basic Life Support (BLS).
The best position for the finish line on a short clinical crown is subgingival or at the gingival margin.
,For a child with fibrous dysplasia, some lesions stabilize while others grow. Surgical removal should be
considered when cosmetic concerns arise, but intervention in children should be delayed for as long as
possible.
The radiograph I thought was ghost teeth is linked to Amelogenesis Imperfecta.
The primary purpose of dialysis is to remove potential toxicities from blood.
IL-1 is categorized as an inflammatory cytokine.
Cyclosporine serves as an immunosuppressant, commonly used in transplant cases, and can lead to
gingival hyperplasia.
There is an increase in glucose levels correlated with periodontal disease and diabetes.
Increased solubility is a recognized cause of cement failure.
Before trimming teeth on a stone cast for an immediate denture, it’s imperative to mark a line 3 mm
above the free gingival margin.
For patients with kidney disease, Tylenol (acetaminophen) is the only safe analgesic; NSAIDs and aspirin
are contraindicated.
Blood pressure in patients on dialysis should not be taken on the side where the shunt was placed for
dialysis.
Preventing syncope can be achieved with the Trendelenburg position.
To address syncope, utilize the Trendelenburg position. If the patient is breathing, crush ammonia
ampules under their nose and provide oxygen; if no breathing is present, begin BLS.
,For a short clinical crown, the ideal position of a finish line is either subgingival or at the gingival margin.
In managing a child with fibrous dysplasia, lesions can stabilize or grow. Surgical removal is warranted
when there’s an aesthetic concern, but intervention should be postponed for young patients whenever
feasible.
A contraindication for a patient with hyperthyroid conditions is the use of epinephrine.
Facial reduction for a porcelain-fused-to-metal (PFM) crown should be approximately 1.5 mm.
Transillumination can be effectively used to identify cracks.
Pocket depth cannot be determined accurately from X-ray images.
In a patient with tenderness anterior to the earlobe, the likely cause is inflammation of Stenson's duct.
If a patient with diabetes forgot to take their insulin but has eaten a good breakfast, administering sugar
would worsen their condition.
After scaling and root planing (SRP), if a patient notices increased spaces between their teeth, it’s due to
decreased swelling of the gingiva.
A radiograph displaying a herringbone effect indicates that the film was placed backward (static
electricity can also be a factor).
E-speed film requires the least amount of radiation exposure.
For a patient with a blood pressure of 160/110, no epinephrine should be administered, and treatment
should be referred to a physician.
To replace a premolar, a modified ridge lap pontic is typically the type used.
, A patient with a history of slow-growing mandible over ten years suggests a possibility of
hyperpituitarism.
Symptoms of weight gain, a deepening voice, and dry skin are indicative of hypothyroidism.
Exophthalmos is commonly associated with hyperthyroidism.
The treatment for Addison's disease is corticosteroid replacement therapy.
Recurrent ulcers that heal with scarring are classified as major aphthous ulcers.
Major aphthae are typically treated with corticosteroids.
Supernumerary teeth can be associated with Gardner syndrome (clavicles present) or cleidocranial
dysplasia.
The treatment of a mucocele involves surgical removal.
For a patient with significant periodontal disease, the construction of an immediate denture should be
scheduled after periodontal intervention.
Porcelain teeth should never appose natural dentition due to the risk of attrition.
Acrylic teeth are best to oppose natural dentition.
In a clinical picture of a 14-year-old with inflamed gingiva, the likelihood is leukemia.
The best method to communicate treatment outcomes with a lab tech is through a diagnostic wax-up.
