Remove tissue if you beleive it may cause pericoronitis, evaluate by periodontist if patient has received bisphosphonates.

16
Q

What are the platelet levels that concern a dentist?

A

Above 75k- no problem, but be prepared to treat extended bleeding
40k-75k- Consider platelet transfusions pre and 24 hours post op. May need local measures as well.
Less than 40k- Defer care, in emergency situations discuss with physician before proceeding.

17
Q

What are the posible etiologic factors with TMD?

A

Trauma, Occlusal factors, Parafunctional habits, Posture, Ortho tx, changes in Free way dimension

18
Q

What can happen during chemotherapy with patients who are using vinblastine or vincristine (plant alkaloids)?

A

Deep constant pain affecting the mandibular molars in the absence of pathology- usually transient.

Intraoral laceration been contaminated by extrinsic bacteria, open fractures, joint injury

22
Q

What is Riga Fede disease?

A

Natal or neonatal teeth rubbing the ventral surface of the tongue leading to an ulceration.

23
Q

What is an important consideration in extracting natal or neonatal teeth?

A

Bleeding. Child should be at least 10 days old before exts, otherwise speak with physician about hemostasis.

24

Q

What is the deal with antibiotics and oral contraceptives?

If it can be easily removed it should be, but if it is small, located deep in the socket, in close proximity to the successor, or unable to be retreived after several attempts it should be left alone.

27
Q

What is the deal with pulp treatment in patients that will be undergoing radiation or chemotherapy?

A

No studies that address safety, but many clinicians will do exts. Existing pulp therapies that are stable can be left alone.

28
