Contraindication Post Osseous Surgery Case Study

In elementary school, one of my favorite days in grade school would be when my mom came in for her oral hygiene lessons. Even though my mom could have easily demonstrated proper techniques on how to brush and floss teeth with a dental model for my classes, she knew how excited I would always get when she called on me to personally demonstrate. I would brush in confidence those tooth surfaces, at a 45 degree angle and with small circular strokes. Promptly in the lesson, I would put the toothbrush vertically for those inside surfaces of my front teeth. My mom would end the brushing technique with a friendly reminder to brush for a full two minutes, twice a day. She also told the kids to think of triangles and to floss along the mesial and distal surfaces of their teeth, rather than straight down and cutting their gums. With every upcoming yearly demonstration, I honed that routine of mine, ensuring to my classmates the best way to keep the plague out. Even to this day, I have still got my middle school sketchbook in my desk drawer, where I had illustrated the cover as, “Dr. Pham, DDS”. Starting in my high school summer, I had my first shot to assist my parents with what I have always known to be as, “The Office.” In the day-to-day, I strove to follow my dad’s office procedures. Imagine, my young, impressionable self holding onto the large suction and water syringe as a patient’s wisdom were extracted; gums cut, that red blood flowing throughout the procedure.

Infection control is a central concept to every practice of health care providers. Its main objective is to prevent the transmission of infectious diseases from both patients and health personnel (Martin et al., 2010). In dental clinic, infection control is a continuous concern for its professionals. They have to contact patients routinely and be exposed to their blood, saliva, dental plaque and pus that may contain infectious pathogens. It is important for the dental professionals to treat these fluids as if they are infectious and special precautions must be taken to handle them. In this essay, I will highlight the scope of infection control practices in dental clinics and the ways through which infectious microorganisms are transmitted

When a procedure as basic as scaling and root planning and the sight of reduced post-operative inflammation – seeing the gingiva turn to a benign pink from red gives you a sense of fulfillment and satisfaction that is incomparable, you know that being a Periodontist is everything you have ever wanted. Holding a scalpel, incising the gingival and periodontal tissues and raising a flap almost perfectly for the very first time, is perhaps one of the most exhilarating experiences I have ever had and, at the risk of sounding too dramatic, the clockwise and anti-clockwise turning of the wrist during suturing is nothing short of sheer poetry in motion to me.

It is important that we have this knowledge and constantly build on it because there still isn’t any valid ground. We can say “we think this can happen” but as more studies come out we can change that thought or idea into a valid explanation. Although you can’t convince every person into believing something, having proof behind your explanation is going to be more persuasive than just stating what you’ve heard.

According to the Wound, Ostomy, and Continence Nurses Society, (WOCN), before focusing on the ostomy care, the nurse should establish a relationship with the patient and their family. A comprehensive assessment should be performed that focuses on all aspects of the patient’s wellness; physical, psychosocial, cultural and spiritual. The nurse informs the patient about dietary needs, bathing/showering, and returning to work (Cronin, 2005). In doing so, the nurse gains the patient’s trust and confidence helping ease them throughout the intervention process. The assessment allows the nurse to fully recognize the patient not as another client needing a procedure but as a person who is going to have questions, concerns, and needs (WOCN, 2010).

The patient was keen to get her oral hygiene up to a good standard and prevent any

Lots of people know that dental cleanings are crucial for having clean teeth, but what many don’t know or realize it 's that it is also crucial for having a healthy mind as well as a healthy body. For being such a frequently visited place, there are lots that people do not know about. Here I will present you with what you should know, the process of, and what to expect on your next dental cleaning visit. Lots of people see the mouth as something completely separate and different from the rest of their body. The reality is that everything is connected to each other. Having problems in your mouth can cause or indicate diseases in other

As stated by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, “Each year, more than 30,000 new cases of cancer of the oral cavity and pharynx are diagnosed and over 8,000 deaths due to oral cancer occur.” (CDC). Most adults are unaware that they have periodontal disease or gum disease, this occurs because they do not maintain routine checkups with their dentist. When we insert food and other bacteria into our mouths, it affects our teeth and gums. We need routine dental checkups and cleanings throughout our lives. Dental checkups usually involve x-rays, cleanings, and the examination of the mouth.

Effects from the surgery itself, such as bleeding, infection, and risks of anesthesia. These risks are rare.

WookHeo, Dong-SeokNahm, and Seung-HakBaek (2007)32performed study to compare the amount of anchorage loss of the maxillary posterior teeth and amountof retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth between en masse retraction and two-step retraction of the anterior teeth.30 female adult patients with Class I malocclusion and lip protrusion were included in the study. The sample was subdivided into group 1 (en masse retraction) and group 2 (two-step retraction). Lateral cephalograms were taken before (T1) and after treatment (T2). Nine skeletal and 10 anchorage variables were measured, and independent t-test was used for statistical analysis.The amount of horizontal retraction of the maxillary anterior teeth was not different between the two groups, there was mild labial movement of the root apices of the upper incisors in group 2 at T2. No significant difference in the degree of anchorage loss of the maxillary posterior teeth was observed between the two groups. Bodily and mesial movements of the upper molars occurred in both groups. A 4 mm of the retraction of the upper incisal edges resulted from 1 mm of anchorage loss in the upper molars in both groups.

absence of retention and stability. Among implant rehabi¬litations, some authors consider overdentures the first treatment option for patients with a completely eden¬tulous mandible , .

2. The increased cancer risk associated with gum disease did not show any difference between smokers and non-smokers.

After disclosing my patient Omar, I took this opportunity to talk about biofilm and the importance of removing it with the proper brushing technique and flossing, and it effects on causing periodontal disease. He had an index plaque of 1 in all quadrants, so I recommended him to pay more attention to flossing and making sure he gets the floss under the gums and against the tooth. Since I did not have enough time I started debridement on the UR and LL quadrants with the cavitron and hand scaling. For his next visit, I plan on finishing the debridement in all four quadrants, polishing, and applying fluoride varnish. For my afternoon patient, I had Aurea Loubriel, a friend who is in the occupational therapy program at LCNE. She has a class at 3PM, so I only had time to fill out the legal forms, the medical and dental history, pharmacological data, habits, and vitals. For her, I had to send a fax with a form requesting her radiographs be sent to the clinic. For her next visit, I want to move on and collect all my assessment data, do her treatment plan and SOAP, and have everything check before she leaves. After my patient left, I had the change to assist Krenar with the suction while he was working

Cigarette smokers are two to four times more likely to develop coronary heart disease than non-smokers, and tobacco use doubles risk for stroke. It also causes reduced circulation by narrowing the blood vessels, and it causes premature wrinkles because it constricts the oxygen and warmth from all parts of the body so the skin ages faster.
