Patients with burning tongue syndrome - usually exhibit no clinically detectable lesions, although symptoms of pain and burning can be intense, and may be accompanied by altered taste and xerostomia. Occasionally, a patient may attribute the initiation of the malady to recent dental work, such a placement of a new bridge or extraction of a tooth. Any and all mucosal regions of the mouth may be affected, although the tongue is the most commonly involved site. Tissue is intact and has the same color as the surrounding tissue , with normal distribution of tongue papillae. 56Caused by xerostomia, candidiasis, referred pain from muscles, other chronic infections, dental diseases, reflux of gastric acid, medications, mechanical trauma, diabetes mellitus, blood dyscrasias, nutritional deficiencies, allergic and inflammatory disorders, psychogenic factors, or may be idiopathic. On the basis of history, physical evaluation, and specific laboratory studies minimal blood studies should include a complete blood count ( CBC ) with differential, glucose, iron, ferritin, folic acid, and vitamin B 12 levels. For symptomatic relief elixir of diphenydramine is a useful antihistaminic that also has mild topical anesthetic properties.

CBC.

An accurate test for anemia is the hematocrit, followed by the hemoglobin; the least accurate is the red blood cell count. Normal hemoglobin values for men are 13.5 to 18 g/dl; those for women are 12 to 16 g/dl. The minimum baseline recommended for surgery is 10 mg/dl, especially for elective implant surgery. For the majority of anemic patients, implant procedures are not contraindicated. However, preoperative and postoperative antibiotics should be administered and the risk of bleeding in anemic patients should not be potentiated by no prescription/use of aspirin. Hygiene appointments should be scheduled more frequently for these patients. •

Bone Complications with in the implant patient may affect both short-term and long-term prognoses. Bone maturation and development are often impaired in the long-term anemic patient. A faint, large trabecular pattern of bone may even appear radiographically, which indicatesa 25% to a 40% loss in trabecular pattern. Therefore the character of the bone needed to support the implant can be affected significantly. The decreased bone density affects theinitial placement and may influence the initial amount of mature lamellar bone forming at the interface of an osteointegrated implant. The time needed for a proper interface formation is longer in poor density bone. Abnormal bleeding is also a common complication of anemia; during extensive surgery, a decreased field vision from the hemorrhage or difficulty in bone impressions forsubperiosteal implants may be encountered. Increased edema and subsequent increased discomfort postsurgically are common consequences. In addition the excess edemaincreases the risk of postoperative infection and its consequences. Not only are anemic patients prone to more immediate infection from surgery, they are also more sensitive to chronic infection throughout their lives. This may affect the long-term maintenance of the proposed implant or abutment teeth.

There is an increased prevalence of vitamin B12 orcobalamin deficiency with age in 15% of the elderly (Pennypacker et al., 1992). B12 deficiency is associated with both hematological (e.g., megaloblastic anemia, bone marrow suppression) and neurological diseases (e.g. peripheral neuropathy; Stabler, 1995). Although vitamin B12absorption mechanisms depend on many factors (stomach pH, intrinsic factor production, bowel bacteria), the recent Framingham Offspring Study showed that plasma vitaminB12 levels are associated with vitamin B12 intake (Tucker etal., 2000).

Leukopenia is a reduction in the number of circulating WBCs to less than 5000/mm3. A decreased leukocyte count may accompany certain infections (e.g., infectious hepatitis), bone marrow damage (from radiation therapy), nutritional deficiency (e.g., vitamin B12 and folic acid), and blood diseases (e.g., anemia). In the potential implant candidate with leukocytosis or leukopenia, many complications can compromise the success of the implant prosthesis. The most common is infection, not only during the initial healing phase but also long term. Delayed healing is also a consequence of WBC disorders. For most implant procedures, the first few months are critical for long-term success. Delayed healing may increase the risk of secondary infection. Severe bleeding can also indicate leukocyte disorders. It may be related to a thrombocytopenia (decreased platelet count) or to the associated anemia. In either condition, the surgical procedure is complicated, with increased edema, post-operative discomfort, and increased chance for secondary infection. Misch 3rd pp. 438


243. Most appropriated bleeding time test for implant patients?

A. CBC B. Ivy bleeding time C. PTT D. PT E. INR


Q243 Explanation


Q243 Explanation Ctnd.


Q243 Explanation Ctnd. • Ivy bleeding time is a bleeding time test in which a sphygmomanometer is inflated to 40 mm Hg around the upper arm, a 5-mm deep incision is made on the flexor surface of the forearm, and the time is measured to cessation of bleeding. • “Advantages of Capillary INR Monitoring for Oral Anticoagulation” - Article in French, CampWachsmuth M, Humair JP, Boehlen F Service de médecine de premier recours, Département de Médecine Communautaire, HUG, 1211 Genève 14. maud.camp-wachsmuth@hcuge.ch – More and more patients are treated with long term oral anticoagulation. The time spent in therapeutic range is often limited since many factors affect INR. Too high or too low INRs increase respectively the hemorrhagic or thromboembolic risks. INR monitoring by a capillary device either in autonomy (self-management) by some selected patients or in relation with the treating physician (self-control), allows increasing the time spent in therapeutic range. Capillary INR monitoring can also be made at the medical office: it is less invasive and provides a quicker answer than a venous INR


Q243 Explanation Ctnd. • The coumarin-derived anticoagulants interfere with vitamin K-dependent synthesis of active coagulation Factors 11 (prothrombin), VII, IX, and X. These oral anticoagulants are effective only in vivo. Their therapeutic effect depends on the half-lives of Factors 11, VII, IX, and X; thus, 8-1/2 hours are required for action. • The maintenance dose is determined by one-stage prothrombin activity, which should be about 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 times the control value. • These agents are widely used in the secondary prophylactic treatment of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism to prevent the recurrence or extension of venous thrombus formation because oral anticoagulants have no effect on platelets, they are not used in the treatment of thrombotic disease in the arterial system. Reversal of anticoagulant effects following discontinuation of oral anticoagulants, the one-stage prothrombin time (PT) gradually returns to normal. Oral administration of vitamin K (phytonadione) enhances recovery. • Recommendation for patients within the therapeutic range of INR of 3.5 or below, warfarin therapy need not be modified or discontinued for simple single dental extractions. More complicated and invasive oral surgical procedures would represent an exception to this recommendation for patients with an INR on the high end of the scale, and they should be discussed with the physician managing the condition requiring warfarin. Nevertheless, the clinician’s judgment must always be considered for all treatment decisions. Since the benefit of preventing a thromboembolic episode clearly outweighs the risk of a significant bleeding episode, this is a Class I recommendation. This recommendation is supported by multiple RCTs and is based on Level of EvidenceA. This recommendation was also supported by the expert consultants.


Q243 Explanation Ctnd. •

Preoperative management of bleeding problems is important to avoid life-threatening situations. A thorough history prior to implant surgery can help to identify those patients who are at an increased risk of bleeding. Questions such as “do you bleed excessively when you cut yourself from shaving” may uncover problems related to hemostasis. Further testing may be warranted such as prothombin time (PT), partial prothombin time (PTT), bleeding time, platelet count, and liver function tests (LFTs). Preoperative evaluation should determine if the patient has any systemic bleeding disorders (e.g. Von Willebrand’s) or is on medication that may cause excessive bleeding (e.g. Coumadin, aspirin, Vitamin E).

The platelet count is obtained in the CBC; normal values range between 200,000 and 300,000/ml. A clinical manifestation usually does not occur until the platelet count is below 80,000/ml. Values around 20,000 indicate a spontaneous bleeding risk. The Ivy bleeding time is an excellent test to determine adequate platelet function and may also test the vascular phase. The bleeding time measures both coagulation pathways as well as platelet function and capillary activity. The PTT is used to determine the ability of the blood to coagulate within the vessels. Therefore it tests the intrinsic and common pathways of coagulation (factors VII through XII). The PT determines the ability of the blood to coagulate outside the vessels and therefore tests the extrinsic and common pathways of coagulation. Both systems are necessary for normal coagulation.

INR greater than 3.5 should be referred to their physician for dose adjustment before invasive dental procedures. Expert opinion suggests that INR values should be obtained within 24 hours before the dental procedure. Portable INR monitors are now available that can measure INR from a finger-stick sample of whole blood and provide results within seconds. Such devices may be useful in cases when INR values are known to fluctuate significantly


244. A 27 year old patient presents for implant treatment. He reports recreational IV drug use and alcohol abuse. He also reports bleeding, inflamed gums. A pseudo membrane’ on gingiva and palate. What would you be suspicious of? A. AIDS B. Periodontal disease C. Lichen Planus D. Psychological problem


Q244 Answer & Explanation • A 27 year old patient presents for implant treatment. He reports recreational IV drug use and alcohol abuse. He also reports bleeding, inflamed gums. A pseudo membrane’ on gingiva and palate. What would you be suspicious of? A) AIDS B) Periodontal disease C) Lichen Planus D) Psychological problem • Malabsorption data showed a great presence of HIV-related oral lesions of which oral candidiasis and hairy leucoplakia are the most prevalent


245. Patient has prosthetic heart valve (MPHV) and is on 7.5 mg of coumadin. What is the INR value for maintenance of coagulation of wound and maintenance of value? A. 1.5-2.0 B. 2.5-3.5 C. 4.0-5.0 D. 6.5-8.0


Q245 Explanation •

INR target ranges (Reference PEPID ED.): – Normal untreated range 0.8-1.2. – DVT prophylaxis 1.5-2.0. DVT treatment 2.0-3.0. – Pulmonary Embolism (PE) treatment 3.0-4.0. Chronic A-fib maintenance 2.0-3.0. – Prosthetic Valve maintenance 2.5-3.5 Reference PEPID ED.

Warfarin Rx DVT, PE Prevention of DVT or thrombosis in AF, MPHV Prevention of recurrent MI Oral, 57 mg/day for 3-6 months INR: 2.0 to 3.0, Oral, 7-10 mg/day long-term INR: 2.5 to 3.5

The maintenance dose is determined by one-stage prothrombin activity, which should be about 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 times the control value. These agents are widely used in the secondary prophylactic treatment of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism to prevent the recurrence or extension of venous thrombus formation because oral anticoagulants have no effect on platelets, they are not used in the treatment of thrombotic disease in the arterial system.

potassium


Q247 Explanation •

Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) – Low BUN levels are not common and are not usually a cause for concern. They may be seen in severe liver disease, malnutrition, and sometimes when a patient is over hydrated (too much fluid volume), but the BUN test is usually used to diagnose or monitor these conditions.

SGOT (Also called AST) test is ordered along with several other tests to evaluate a patient who seems to have symptoms of a liver disorder

A physician may order an albumin test, along with other tests, when a person has symptoms of a liver disorder such as jaundice, fatigue, or weight loss, or symptoms of nephrotic syndrome such as swelling around the eyes, belly, or legs.

Tests to monitor kidney function: – If you have been diagnosed with a kidney disease, your health care provider will order laboratory tests to help monitor kidney function. Blood levels of BUN and creatinine are measured from time to time to see if the kidney disease is getting worse. The amount of calcium and phosphate in the blood and the balance of serum and urine electrolytes can also be measured, as these are often affected by kidney disease. Hemoglobin, measured as part of a complete blood count (CBC) may be measured (the kidneys make a hormone, erythropoietin, that controls red blood cell production). Urine total protein (TP) can be used to test the effects of treatment in diabetes and nephrotic syndrome. Parathyroid hormone (PTH), which controls calcium levels, is often increased in kidney disease and is often checked to see if enough calcium and vitamin D are being taken to prevent bone damage.


Q247 Explanation Ctnd • Electrolyte panels or basic metabolic panels are commonly used to monitor treatment of certain problems, including high blood pressure (hypertension), heart failure, and liver and kidney disease. • Losing or retaining fluid causes an imbalance in your body's electrolytes. • Electrolytes such as chloride, potassium, sodium, and carbon dioxide (CO2) help keep the proper balance of body fluids and maintain the body's acid-base balance. In the body, most of the CO2 is in the form of a substance called bicarbonate (HCO3-). Therefore, the CO2 blood test is really a measure of your blood bicarbonate level. • People with Type 1 diabetes lack enough insulin, a hormone the body uses to process glucose (blood sugar) for energy. When glucose is not available, body fat is broken down instead. As fats are broken down, acids called ketones build up in the blood and urine. In high levels, ketones are poisonous. This condition is known as ketoacidosis. Blood glucose levels rise (usually higher than 300 mg/dL) because the liver produces glucose to try to combat the problem. However the cells cannot pull in that glucose without insulin. Diabetic ketoacidosis may lead to a diagnosis of Type 1 diabetes, because it is often the first symptom that causes a person to see a doctor. It can also be the result of increased insulin needs in someone already diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Infection, trauma, heart attack, or surgery can lead to diabetic ketoacidosis in such cases. Missing doses of insulin can also lead to ketoacidosis in people with diabetes. • Tests that may be done to diagnose ketoacidosis include: – Arterial blood gas, Blood glucose test, Blood pressure measurement, Amylase blood test, Potassium blood test

• Deficiency problems are not usually a result of poor nutrition. Rapid excretion of potassium in severe diarrhea, diabetes, and prolonged cortisone administration. The kidneys normally remove excess potassium from the body. Therefore, most cases of hyperkalemia are caused by disorders that reduce the kidneys’ ability to excrete potassium.


248. All of the following are causes of anemia except: A. foliate deficiency B. iron deficiency C. menstrual blood loss D. vitamin B deficiency E. vitamin C deficiency


Q248 Explanation •

Iron deficiency anemia is the most common form of anemia. Iron is a key part hemoglobin. Without iron, the blood cannot carry oxygen effectively.

Women are at greater risk for anemia. In women, iron and red blood cells are lost when bleeding occurs from very heavy or long periods (menstruation).

Folic acid is a B vitamin. It helps the body form red blood cells and produce DNA. Folic Acid Deficiency can cause anemia (low red blood cell count) with abnormally large red blood cells containing large nuclei. In severe cases, lowering of levels of white blood cells and platelets are seen.

B-12 deficiency can cause anemia and in some cases Megaloblastic anemia.

B-2 (riboflavin) deficiency can cause anemia and may play an adjunct role in the treatment of iron deficiency anemia


Q248 Explanation Ctnd. •

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a water-soluble vitamin, which is necessary in the body to form collagen in bones, cartilage, muscle, and blood vessels. – Even-though it aids in the absorption of iron, deficient Vitamin C leads to Scurvy not anemia. – Scurvy is a disease resulting from a deficiency of Vitamin C, which is required for the synthesis of collagen in humans. The chemical name for vitamin C, ascorbic acid, is derived from the Latin name of scurvy, scorbutus, which also provides the adjective scorbutic ("of, characterized by or having to do with scurvy"). Scurvy leads to the formation of spots on the skin, spongy gums, and bleeding from the mucous membranes. The spots are most abundant on the thighs and legs, and a person with the ailment looks pale, feels depressed, and is partially immobilized. In advanced scurvy there are open, suppurating wounds and loss of teeth.

Scorbutic gums, a symptom of scurvy. Note gingival redness in the triangle shaped interdental papillae between teeth.


249. Which one of the following is not a characteristic related to hypertension?

A. The type of hypertension medication taken by the patient can indicate the source of hypertension. B. Hypertension can result from increased peripheral resistance. C. Hypertension can result in cardiac dysfunction D. Hypertension can result from both increased peripheral resistance and cardiac dysfunction. E. Higher levels of blood pressure differentiate secondary hypertension.


Q249 Answer • Which one of the following is not a characteristic related to hypertension? A) The type of hypertension medication taken by the patient can indicate the source of hypertension. – Yes, diuretics vs. alpha, beta blockers or ace inhibitors B) Hypertension can result from increased peripheral resistance - NO C) Hypertension can result in cardiac dysfunction - YES D) Hypertension can result from both increased peripheral resistance and cardiac dysfunction - YES E) Higher levels of blood pressure differentiate secondary hypertension.


Q249 Explanation • Congestive Heart Failure – the heart is not strong enough to pump against the high Atrial Pressure. • BP is a factor of Total Peripheral Resistance, Cardiac Output, and Blood Volume. – Most Hypertensive Patients have a normal Cardiac Output and a increased Peripheral Resistance. – Cardiac Output depends on Heart Rate and Stroke Volume – (epinephrin increases both HR and SV) • Peripheral Resistance depends somewhat on blood viscosity but mainly on Arteriolar Radius.

251. Which of the following is t true of Hepatitis A infection?

A. high morbidity B. high mortality C. may be transmitted by fecal material D. may be transmitted by blood products


Q251 Answer • Which of the following is true of Hepatitis A infection?

A) high morbidity – false B) high mortality – false C) may be transmitted by fecal material – true and by contaminated water & food D) may be transmitted by blood products – false only Hep. B

• The virus spreads by the fecal-oral route and infections often occur in conditions of poor sanitation and overcrowding. Hepatitis A can be transmitted by the parenteral route but very rarely by blood and blood products. Food-borne outbreaks are not uncommon, and ingestion of shellfish cultivated in polluted water is associated with a high risk of infection


252. Which one of the following is not an acute feature of severe anaphylaxis?

A. bronchi spasm B. laryngeal edema C. circulatory collapse


Q252 Explanation •

Anaphylaxis Definition: – Anaphylaxis is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. It can occur within seconds or minutes of exposure to something you're allergic to, such as the venom from a bee sting or a peanut. – The flood of chemicals released by your immune system during anaphylaxis can cause you to go into shock; your blood pressure drops suddenly and your airways narrow, blocking normal breathing. Signs and symptoms of anaphylaxis include a rapid, weak pulse, a skin rash, and nausea and vomiting. Common triggers of anaphylaxis include certain foods, some medications, insect venom and latex. – Anaphylaxis requires an immediate trip to the emergency department and an injection of epinephrine. If anaphylaxis isn't treated right away, it can lead to unconsciousness or even death.

Anaphylactic shock is a sudden circulatory collapse that results from a severe allergic reaction. It occurs when the immune system reacts to a foreign substance (allergen). In anaphylactic shock, the immune system releases many chemical substances, including histamine and serotonin. These chemicals cause narrowing of the breathing passages (bronchospasm) and relaxation (dilation) of blood vessels. During the reaction, fluid may pool in the lungs (pulmonary edema) and upper airway obstruction may result from laryngeal edema. Hives (urticaria) and deep tissue swelling (angioedema) may also be observed. The result of anaphylaxis may be life-threatening respiratory and circulatory failure, otherwise known as anaphylactic shock.


Q252 Explanation Ctnd. • Symptoms of anaphylaxis are related to the action of Immunoglobulin E (IgE) and other anaphylatoxins, which act to release histamine and other mediator substances from mast cells (degranulation). In addition to other effects, histamine induces vasodilation of arterioles and constriction of bronchioles in the lungs, also known as bronchospasm (constriction of the airways). • Tissues in different parts of the body release histamine and other substances. This causes constriction of the airways, resulting in wheezing, difficulty breathing, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as abdominal pain, cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea. Histamine causes the blood vessels to dilate (which lowers blood pressure) and fluid to leak from the bloodstream into the tissues (which lowers the blood volume). These effects result in shock. Fluid can leak into the alveoli (air sacs) of the lungs, causing pulmonary edema.


253. Laboratory values in anemia or bleeding can be best assessed by: A. WBC count B. Hemoglobin level C. Eosinophil count D. Hematocrit level


Q253 Answer • Laboratory values in anemia or bleeding can be best assessed by: A) WBC count B) Hemoglobin level C) Eosinophil count – measures WBC# to diagnose allergy, drug RX, parasitic infection, collagen disease, Hodgkin’s lymphoma D) Hematocrit level – PCV: Packed cell volume/for anemia - RBC and WBC vol- true


Q253 Explanation •

First step is to evaluate hemoglobin levels

Also important to calculate hematocrit – Hematocrit (Ht or HCT) or packed cell volume (PVC) or erythrocyte volume fraction (EVF) is the percentage of red blood cells in blood plasma. – Plasma is the liquid portion of the blood – Hematocrit is normally about 48% for men and 38% for women. [1] it is considered an integral part of a person’s complete blood count results, along with hemoglobin concentration, white blood cell count, and platelet count – People with a high volume of plasma may be anemic even if their blood count is normal because the blood cells have become diluted.

Neither hemoglobin or hematocrit are reliable for diagnosing acute anemia or blood loss.

To differentiate an anemia of mixed causes from an anemia of a single cause: – Vitamin B12 deficiency produces a macrocytic (large cell) anemia with a normal RDW. However, iron deficiency anemia initially presents with a varied size distribution of red blood cells, and as such shows an increased RDW. And in the case of a mixed iron and B12 deficiency we will have a mix of both large cells and small cells hence the RDW will usually be elevated


254. Which of the following conditions result in bone with a normal composition?

A. Osteomalacia B. Osteoporosis C. Rickets D. Vitamin deficiency


Q254 Answer • Which of the following conditions result in bone with a normal composition? A) Osteomalacia - Decreased mineralization weak and soft bone B) Osteoporosis - Loss of Bone Mass and Volume (Osteoclastic) Composition of bone doesn’t change (weakened but not softened bone) C) Rickets - Osteomalacia in children D) Vitamin deficiency - Vit D deficiency can lead to A & C


Q254 Explanation •

Osteoporosis - lack of bone density or poverty of bone tissue. – Considered (ideopathic) to a large degree attributed to nutrition. Extensive corticord steroid therapy can cause secondary form of the disease. – Chronic calcium deficiency may lead to osteoporosis- the stability of alveolar may be compromised in calcium deficiency. The absorption of calcium declines with age. Deficiency of vitamin D will also lead to calcium deficiency and bone resorption. Diabetes may induce osteoporosis. Decreased testosterone may induce osteoporosis. – Diagnostic tests: – bone density measurements – bone resorption assays – bone formation assays – radiographic assessment –

bone biopsy

– The goal of treatment for osteoporosis is to raise the patients bone density above the fracture threshold. Agents that will increase bone density are: – Fluoride, exercise, calcitonin, anabolic steroids


Q254 Explanation Ctnd • Rickets and Osteomalacia: – Osteomalacia is a term for the softening of the bones due to defective bone mineralization. Osteomalacia in children is known as rickets, and because of this, use of the term osteomalacia is often restricted to the milder, adult form of the disease. It may show signs as diffuse body pains, muscle weakness, and fragility of the bones. A common cause of the disease is a deficiency in vitamin D, which is normally obtained from the diet and/or sunlight exposure.[1] Treatment-resistant osteomalacia – Rickets is a rare disease in the industrial countries, seldom found in adults. This mineralization deficit (hypophosphocalcic bone with osteoidosis), which leads to determined osteopathy (soft bone), responds favorably in more than 95% of the cases to vitamin D-25 therapy in conjunction with the intake of calcium supplements. However, when the treatment fails, osteomalacia may lead to non-integration of an implant and increased infection risk.


255. A single mandibular implant is removed 2-3 weeks after placement due to paresthesia. What is the minimum time to wait for replacement of implant? A. 1 year B. 6 months C. 2 months D. 1 month


Q255 Explanation • The success of implants replacing failed ones at the exact site has been reported 1,12,13,32,35,46. Using the commercially pure titanium screwshaped implants, it has been suggested that when an implant is lost, a flap should primarily cover the entrance to the site and after 9-12 months, a new implant can be replaced at that site (1). Evian and Cutler12 report immediately replacing 5 failed screw-type, commercially pure titanium implants with larger-diameter, hydroxy apatite coated implants in the same sockets. They suggest that a 1-year healing period may not be necessary provided the socket can be prepared to eliminate thread grooves and invasive soft tissue; the implant replacement is larger in diameter than the original implant; and sufficient available bone remains for the procedures. Recently, the implant failure rate was compared between a machined surface and a TiUnite surface used to replace failing implants (3).Of the 29 machined surface implants replaced by implants with the same surface, 6 failed (79.4% survival rate) compared to the 19 machined surface implants replaced by TiUnite surface implants where only 1 failed. Of the 10 TiUnite-surface implants replaced by implants with the same surface, none failed. The difference in failure rate between machined-surface and TiUnite replacement implants was statistically significant. • 1- DMD, Department of Oral Rehabilitation, The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of Dental Medicine, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv,and Periodontology Unit, Department of Oral & Dental Sciences, Rambam Medical Center, Haifa, Israel.Corresponding address: Dr. Liran Levin - Department of Oral Rehabilitation - The Maurice and Gabriela Goldschleger School of DentalMedicine - Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel - Fax: +972-3-6409250 - e-mail: liranl@post.tau.ac.ilReceived : January 10, 2008 - Modification : February 23, 2008 - Accepted : February 26, 2008


256. If a patient has elevated levels of alkaline phosphatase they most likely have:

A. Metastasis B. Vitamin D deficiency


Q256 Explanation •

Alkaline Phosphatase: – Extremely high levels of alkaline phosphatase are often associated with hepatic disease. In the absence of liver disease, elevations of alkaline phosphatase are often a sign of osteoblastic activity in the skeletal system. Therefore bone metastases, fractures, Paget's disease, and hyperparathyroidism increase the level of this serum enzyme. Serum alkaline phosphataseis is normal in patients with adult osteoporosis. Low levels of alkaline phosphatase are usually not of clinical significance for the dentist.

257. Patient has Paget’s disease, the best option to restore this edentulous patient with the typical cotton wool radiographic appearance is by: A. Subperiosteal B. Conventional removable appliance C. 5 root forms


Q257 Explanation •

Osteitis deformans, or Paget's disease, is a common metabolic disease characterized by slow, progressive, uncontrolled resorption and deposition of bone.

Paget's disease is marked by high elevations of serumalkaline phosphatase, normal or elevated calcium, and normal phosphate levels. Edentulous patients are often unable to wear their prostheses without discomfort. There is no specific treatment for Paget's disease, and these patients are predisposed to develop osteosarcoma and possibly osteomyelitis.

Dental Implant Implications: – Oral implants are contraindicated in the regions affected by this disorder.


258. Patient has Ectodermal Dysplasia. What are the clinical implications?

SHORTANSWER


Q258 Answer • Patient has Ectodermal Dysplasia. What are the clinical implications? Ectodermal Dysplasia is an autosomal disease characterized as patient having thin, dry hair, dry skin, partial anodontia and conical teeth. Patients have underdeveloped alveolar arches and decreased salivary flow.


Q258 Additional Info •

About Ectodermal Dysplasia: – ED is a genetically inherited disorder that occurs in 1 per 100,000 live births. – Clinically, ectodermal dysplasia has been divided into two broad categories: – X-linked hypohidrotic form (Christ-Siemens-Touraine syndrome) characterized by the classical triad of hypodontia, hypohidrosis, and hypotrichosis and by characteristic facial features such as prominent supraorbital ridges and a depressed nasal bridge – Autosomal inherited hydrotic form (Clouston's syndrome) that usually spares the sweat glands but affects teeth, hair, and nails.

In patients with hypodontia or anodontia, conventional prosthodontic procedures often are not successful because of anatomical abnormalities that result in poor retention and stability.

Dental implant therapy aimed at restoring function, esthetics, and psychological rehabilitation is an integral part in the management of adolescent patients with ED. Numerous studies have been completed on dental implants in patients with ED. A 3-year study showed impressive success rates in preadolescents (ages 7 to 11, 87%), adolescents (ages12 to 17, 90%), and in adults (older than 17, 97%). Other positive case reports have shown dental implants as a successful adjunct to oral rehabilitation.

259. A woman has been on coumadin. A good test

to determine if she is a good candidate for implants is: A. Partial Thrombin time PTT B. PT


Q259 Answer • A woman has been on coumadin. A good test to determine if she is a good candidate for implants is: A) Partial Thrombin time PTT (Intrinsic Pathway) B) PT (Extrinsic Pathway)


Q259 Explanation •

The coumarin-derived anticoagulants interfere with vitamin K-dependent synthesis of active coagulation Factors 11 (prothrombin), VII, IX, and X. These oral anticoagulants are effective only in vivo. Their therapeutic effect depends on the half-lives of Factors 11, VII, IX, and X; thus, 8 1/2hours are required for action. The maintenance dose is determined by one-stage prothrombin activity, which should be about 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 times the control value. These agents are widely used in the secondary prophylactic treatment of venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism to prevent the recurrence or extension of venous thrombus formation because oral anticoagulants have no effect on platelets. They are not used in the treatment of thrombotic disease in the arterial system. Reversal of anticoagulant effects following discontinuation of oral anticoagulants, the one-stage prothrombin time (PT) gradually returns to normal. Oral administration of vitamin K (phytonadione) enhances recovery.

Recommendation: –

For patients within the therapeutic range of INR of 3.5 or below, warfarin therapy need not be modified or discontinued for simple single dental extractions. More complicated and invasive oral surgical procedures would represent an exception to this recommendation for patients with an INR on the high end of the scale, and they should be discussed with the physician managing the condition requiring warfarin. Nevertheless, the clinician’s judgment must always be considered for all treatment decisions. Since the benefit of preventing a thromboembolic episode clearly outweighs the risk of a significant bleeding episode, this is a Class I recommendation. This recommendation is supported by multiple RCTs and is based on Level of Evidence A. This recommendation was also supported by the expert consultants.


Q259 Explanation Ctnd. •

Warfarin – Warfarin (Coumadin) is an oral anticoagulant that inhibits the biosynthesis of the vitamin K–dependent coagulation proteins (factors VII, IX, and X and prothrombin). This drug is bound to albumin, metabolized by hydroxylation in the liver, and excreted in the urine. The prothrombin time ratio (PTR, defined as the patient’s prothrombin time divided by a laboratory control value) is used to monitor warfarin therapy because it measures three of the vitamin K– dependent coagulation proteins: factors VII and X and prothrombin. The PT is particularly sensitive to factor VII deficiency. Therapeutic anticoagulation with warfarin takes 4 to 5 days.

260. What can you expect a patient with Diabetes to have?

A. slow healing B. post-operative infection C. altered tissue healing


Q260 Explanation • The major symptoms of diabetes are polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, and weight loss. Therefore the patient's medical history should include questions concerning increased thirst, urination, appetite, or recent weight loss. Almost every cell membrane needs insulin to enable glucose penetration to occur with the exception of those cells in the brain and spinal cord. With insulin deficiency, the glucose remains in the bloodstream and increases the blood glucose level. Diabetic patients are prone to develop infections and vascular complications. The healing process is affected by impaired vascular function, chemotaxis, impaired neutrophil function, and an anaerobic milieu. Protein metabolism is decreased, and healing of soft and hard tissue is delayed. Nerve regeneration is altered, and angiogenesis is impaired. Many studies both in animals and humans have been conducted with respect to diabetes. Animal studies have shown a significant reduction in bone implant contacts and a reduction of osseo-integration in trabecular bone but not cortical bone. Clinical human data include the recommendation that no contraindications exist for diet and orally controlled diabetes; however, for insulincontrolled patients, implants may be contraindicated. Some studies have shown that insulin-controlled diabetic patients are implant candidates if they have antibiotic coverage, Misch 3rd, pp 442


261. Allergy-mild symptoms when taking Penicillin (hives), what do you give the patient?

A. Benadryl, discontinue Amoxicillin B. Discontinue Amoxicillin and inject Epinephrine IM


262. 90% of all bleeding problems can be prevented by:

A. Complete blood count B. PT C. PTT D. Medical history


Q262 Answer • 90% of all bleeding problems can be prevented by: A) Complete blood count – CBC, RBC, WBC, Hematocrit Blood Smear, Hemoglobin, Platelet Count B) PT – To see if blood thinners are working, or to help detect or diagnose a blood disorder C) PTT – To monitor heparin, anticoagulant D) Medical history


Q 262 Explanation • Three ways to detect potential bleeding problems are: (1) check the medical history (2) review the physical examination (3) screen the clinical laboratory tests. • More than 90% of bleeding disorders can be diagnosed on the basis of the medical history alone • The history should include the following questions covering five topics entered on the medical history form: 1. Familial history of bleeding disorders 2. Spontaneous bleeding from the nose, mouth, or other apertures 3. Bleeding problems/bruising after operations, tooth extractions, or 4. Use of medications that may cause bleeding disorders 5. Past or present illness associated with bleeding disorders Misch 3rd, pp. 430

264. Scalloped lateral border of the tongue is indicative of: A. Scurvy B. Clenching C. Diabetes D. Anemia


Q264 Answer & Explanation • Scalloped lateral border of the tongue is indicative of: – In dysfunctional swallowing, keeping teeth on the occlusal surface of the tongue in mouth breathers A) Scurvy – Vit. C deficiency which may cause gingivitis & periodontitis B) Clenching – may be a cause C) Diabetes – delayed wound healing & increased inflammatory response A commonD) clinical finding clenching is a scalloped of Anemia – of Iron deficiency & Vit. border B12 deficiency the tongue (Figure 6-13). The tongue is often braced against the lingual surfaces of the maxillary teeth during clenching, exerting lateral pressures and resulting in the scalloped border. This braced tongue position may also be accompanied by an intraoral vacuum, which permits a clench to extend for a considerable time, often during sleep. - Misch 3rd, pp. 113


265. After implant placement, which patient would you not use post-op steroids?

A. Diabetes B. Hypothyroid C. Hypertension D. Chron’s


Q266 Answer & Explanation • After implant placement, which patient would you not use post-op steroids? A) Diabetes B) Hypothyroid C) Hypertension D) Chron’s

Contraindications to the use of corticosteroids include active infections (viral, bacterial, fungal), tuberculosis, ocular herpes simplex, primary glaucoma, acute psychosis, and diabetes mellitus. Special attention must be given to diabetic patients, as glucocorticoids have an anti-insulin action that results in increased serum glucose and glycosuria. Misch Ed 3, pp. 476


267. What type of resuscitation is MOST effective on an unconscious non-breathing patient?

A. mask to mouth B. endotracheal intubation C. Cricothyrotomy D. ambubag


Q267 Answer & Explanation - ? • What type of resuscitation is MOST effective on an unconscious non-breathing patient? A) mask to mouth B) endotracheal intubation C) cricothyrotomy D) ambubag The most secure airway in an unconscious patient is a properly placed cuffed endotracheal (ET) tube. The ET tube does not resuscitate nor ventilate the patient. It only maintains patient airway & prevents aspiration. Some types of ventilation devices (ambu bag or automated ventilator) must be attached to the ET tube in order to ventilate (resuscitate) the patient. Technically however, the ambu bag is ventilating the patient, not the ET tube.


268. How long is the health history accurate for? A. 1 month B. 3 months C. 6 months D. 1 year


Q268 Answer & Explanation • How long is the health history accurate for? A) 1 month B) 3 months C) 6 months D) 1 year

A patient’s health history is accurate until it changes. This change may take years, or it can happen the same day you obtained the health history from the patient. Therefore, every time you see a patient, you should check for changes in their health history.


269. A patient with cardiac disease can best be revealed by elevated levels of:

A. LDH, SGOT, Potassium B. LDH, SGOT, Sodium


270. Name three medical conditions that would contraindicate a patient to implant surgery. SHORTANSWER


Q270 Answer • Name three medical conditions that would contraindicate a patient to implant surgery. 1. Hypertensive patient over 180/110 mmHg 2. Unstable angina 3. Severe uncontrolled diabetes (ASA type 2, 3, 4) with glucose levels > 240 mg/dl or HbA1c >10


Q270 Explanation •

Hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells, binds to the HbA1c form of hemoglobin by a process termed glycosylation. The percent HbA1c reflects how much glucose is bound to the blood during the past 120-day life span of the RBCs. Glycosylated hemoglobin helps to minimize complications in patients exhibiting chronically elevated glucose levels. For non-diabetic patients, normal values are approximately 4.0% to 6.0%. Ideally, diabetic patients will have their HbA1c at approximately 6%, which corresponds to an average glucose of 135 mgjdL (7.5 mmoljL). For every 1% change in the HbA1c, a resultant change of about 30 mgfdL (1.67 mmolfL) will be seen.


271. Patient has a white lesion on buccal mucosa with a white lacey pattern to it and it can’t be scraped off. What is the most likely diagnosis?

SHORTANSWER


Q271 Answer • Patient has a white lesion on buccal mucosa with a white lacey pattern to it and it can’t be scraped off. What is the most likely diagnosis? Lichen Planus


Q271 Explanation • Lichen Planus – Common dermatologic disease of skin and mucous membranes – Common in middle-aged adults; 60% women – Prevalence of oral LP = 0.1-2.2% – Chronic, multiple lesions – Various forms: – Reticular/Wickham’s striae - asymptomatic – Plaque-like - asymptomatic – Bullous/erosive - symptomatic • Etiology of Lichen Planus – Immune mediated - T cell mediated degeneration of the basal cell layer of epithelium – Associated with stress, drug hypersensitivity (lichenoid drug reaction), or infection (HCV) – NSAIDs, allopurinol, sulfonamides, tetracyclines, ACE inhibitors, HCTZ, lorazepam, sulfonylureas – dental materials – Amalgam and resins – Idiopathic • All - DeRossie manifestations of meds pp4


272. If you have normal mucosa and the patient is

complaining that her tongue is burning, the problem is: A. Cardiac problem B. Diabetic problem C. Psychological problem


Q272 Explanation • Patients with burning tongue syndrome usually exhibit no clinically detectable lesions, although symptoms of pain and burning can be intense, and may be accompanied by altered taste and xerostomia. Occasionally, a patient may attribute the initiation of the malady to recent dental work, such as placement of a new bridge or extraction of a tooth. Any and all mucosal regions of the mouth may be affected, although the tongue is by far the most commonly involved site. Tissue is intact and has the same color as the surrounding tissue with normal distribution of tongue papillae (56). Caused by xerostomia, candidiasis, referred pain from muscles, other chronic infections, dental diseases, reflex of gastric acid, medications, mechanical trauma, diabetes mellitus, blood dyscrasias, nutritional deficiencies, allergic and inflammatory disorders, psychogenic factors, or may be idiopathic. On the basis of history, physical evaluation, and specific laboratory studies, rule out all possible causes. Minimal blood studies should include a complete blood count ( CBC ) with differential, glucose, iron, ferritin, folic acid, and vitamin B 12 levels. For symptomatic relief elixir of diphenydramine is a useful antihistaminic that also has mild topical anesthetic properties. Study Guide pp 77

280. Hypoxia is a concern with the administration of narcotics and may potentially trigger cardiac disease. Which of the following methods poses the least risk? A. sedative post-op doses B. IV doses C. pre-op sedative doses D. increasing nitrous oxide supplementation E. IM doses F. sublingual doses


Q281 Answer • Hypoxia is a concern with the administration of narcotics and may potentially trigger cardiac disease. Which of the following methods poses the least risk? – respiratory depression-decreased heart rate-decreased BP A) sedative post-op doses B) IV doses C) pre-op sedative doses D) increasing nitrous oxide supplementation E) IM doses F) sublingual doses


Question 281 Explanation • It is quicker, more accurate, & safer to titrate drugs to their desired effects via IV route than IM. And IM is safer than PO. So, the order of preference is IV then IM then PO. Inhaled gases & volatile agents give similar speed of onset of action as IV route. But the inhaled route is more accurate and safer because it is the only method that allows you to remove the drug if too much is given. This is done by turning off the source of the gas or volatile agent & ventilating the patient with 100% O2. The gases in the patient’s body will rapidly move down their concentration gradient & be expired through the patient’s lungs. Even if you give the patient a competitive antagonist to the IV/IM/PO drug, you do not truly remove that drug. You will have to wait for the drug to be redistributed, metabolized, &/or excreted. Also N2O is less of a respiratory depressant vs. opiates.

NIH Questions The NIH has met twice on dental implants, 1978 and 1988


1978 NIH Consensus highlights • The National Institute of Health Implant Consensus Conference in 1978 – Was the first meeting of its kind to retrospectively review clinical case studies – Defined success as , “the dental implant should provide functional service for five years in 75% of the cases.” – They evaluated the subperiosteal; staple/transosteal; vitreous carbon; and blade. – Remember at this time these guys were putting implants in with their BARE HANDS! So survival rates may have been lower.-Patrick Williams FYI


1978 NIH Consensus highlights • The National Institute of Health Implant Consensus Conference in 1978

– The Subperiosteal – Provided data for mandibulars only, The benefit:risk ratio may be improved when the implant is used: 1) in the mandible versus the maxilla, 2) on basal bone and 3) against a full upper denture.

– The Staple/Transosteal –

There was not enough info at the time to make any statements

– Carbon & Blades –

Indicated for all clinical situations


1988 NIH Consensus highlights –

There is a question on 1988, but I cannot find it. I did however include a copy of the meeting from the NIH, 1988.


376. Which of the following statements did the National Institute of Health Implant Consensus Conference make in 1978? A. Subperiosteal implants are indicated for the mandibular arch only. B. Ramus Frame implants are indicated for the completely edentulous mandibular arches only [Default] [MC Any] [MC All]

C. Transosteal implants are indicated for completely edentulous mandibular arches only D. Blade form implants are indicated for the maxilla and mandible partially edentulous arches only.


Q376 Answer • Which of the following statements did the National Institute of Health Implant Consensus Conference make in 1978?

A. Subperiosteal implants are indicated for the mandibular arch only. (They said only benefit:risk ratio may be improved with mandibular arch over the maxilla) and insufficient clinical data existed for them to comment on maxillary subs. B. Ramus Frame implants are indicated for the completely edentulous mandibular arches only (not discussed at all) C. Transosteal implants are indicated for completely edentulous mandibular arches only (True but they did not say this) D. Blade form implants are indicated for the maxilla and mandible partially edentulous arches only. (No)
