Hello everyoneI brought a new case for the discussion

Miss son

DOB; 13/07/1945

Actor Scenario Info

You have gone to see a new dentist for the following reason.

You think your upper denture “looks horrible†and is “coming looseâ€. You

have never had a lower denture and you don’t think that you could cope with

one. You don’t want to be any trouble and you think you will probably manage

with your denture if the dentist can adjust it.

Medical history

You are insulin dependent diabetic.

Your GP has given you some tablets “for your nervesâ€. You don’t have

them with you and you don’t remember what they are called.

Dental history

You have not attend the dentist since your upper teeth were extracted

for your wedding when you were 21

You brush your teeth every day

Social history

You husband died of cancer last year and you live on your own in a

socially deprived town.

You have two daughters and one son.

Attending the surgery is a bit difficult for you. It takes an hour on

the bus, however you are happy to have whatever treatment the dentist deems to

be best.

Further scenario info for the actor (Only if asked by the candidate)

You are embarrassed about your dental condition and poor attendance

history. You have not eaten in front of anyone other than your husband for the

past 20 years, not even at your daughter’s wedding reception. Your speech is

also affected.

Examiner’s Info

Extra-oral exam

Nothing abnormal. Decrease in lower face height

Intra-oral exam

Soft tissue screening; The mucosa beneath the upper denture is inflamed

with an appearance of chronic candidiasis. There is a large ulcer on the

tongue. The upper anterior ridge is

mobile and “flabby†and when the patient speaks, the upper denture has a

noticeable tendency to drop.

Bony tissue screening; On palpation, it can be felt that there is a bony

structure under the right posterior side.

In the lower jaw, there are incisors, canines and first premolars. The LL1 broke about 2 weeks ago when the

patient was eating a toffee. It is not painful, though. All of the remaining

lower teeth have abrasion cavities and LL4 and LR4 are carious, both cervically

and occlusaly.

Occlusion; Appears to be Class III. It is difficult to get the patient

bite in a retruded contact position

Vitality test; not available

Generalized alveolar bone loss

BPE;

BOP; some

Grade 1 mobility

OH; some dental plague is visible.

Special exam and other props

Hi Alena ,Thank you for sharing this interesting case with us , and i would like to know wht are ur thoughts about it.Well , i believe nerve tablets are Vit. B12 and i dont knw their relevence to the ttt.I believe as an emergency phase ,i would first prescrible an antiseptic gel (Bonjela) for the large tongue ulcer and refer rightaway for screening at the hospital , also she requires a thorough periodontal ttt .Then going to the main problem ,which is the loose upper denture , i would advice she needs to extract her upper right impacted wisdom tooth and also refer her for surgical ext.We would then do relining or remake the whole upper denture once the wound heals.I would also advice for a lower denture once the periodontal condition is stable and the LL and LR4 are restored also the broken LL1

needs to be restored.Tell me then wht you think.Regards , Hannalla.From: Alena Ozieva <alenaozieva@...>Subject: new DTP case-denture" " < >Date: Wednesday, August 17, 2011, 5:17 AM

Hi Neelam ,Yeah i forgot about it,sorry...Well ,this requires a good history taking .I mean ,if the tooth is moving and a bony prominence can be felt on palpation as mentioned, so definitely it needs to be removed ....Regards , .From: Alena Ozieva <alenaozieva@...>Subject: new DTP case-denture" " < >Date: Wednesday, August 17, 2011, 5:17 AM

hi,

interesting case, here we have to look at the problems in hand

1. upper loose denture and flabby ridge

2. missing lower teeth

3. upper third molar

4. ulcer

5. her concerns about the practice being 'too far' and inability to come.

medical concerns..

1. diabetic patient

2. 'some tablets for nerves' which could be anti-anxiety/ anti-depressants

considering her history- death of husband, living alone.

the condition of upper ridge is combination syndrome. so simply

relining/rebasing denture will not help.

my treatment plan would be..

emergency phase- refer for ulcer (even though it is likely to be

apthous)/alternatively give tetracycline mouthwash and recall/review after one

week. if heels ok. if not refer. also request her to come back with prescription

of her medications next time.

Primary treatment and stabilisation- treatment options related to dentures-

1.restore lower teeth+ give upper dentures only.

2. restore lower teeth+ give upper and lower dentures for remaining teeth.

3. remove LL1,LL2,LL4,LR1,LR2,LR4 keep lower canines+ give upper denture+ lower

overdenture.

4. remove all teeth ( can be done under GA along with the removal of third molar

if required) + give U/L complete dentures.

maintenance recall and review.

personally i would go for overdentures in lower plus upper complete dentures

because the reason for the current situation is the presence of lower teeth in

relation to an upper denture.

also considering the compromised status of these teeth it might be best to

extract them.

another thing that should be mentioned here if planning for lower dentures is

the provision of immediate dentures (as she is concerned about her appearance)

because of her diabetic status she should also be warned that her ridges will

resorb faster than usual and repeated relining might be required.

this fact should also be taken into account while extracting her teeth.

thats all i guess.

kindly make additions and corrections if required.

Regards

Smriti.

Hello everyoneI brought a new case for the discussion

Miss son

DOB; 13/07/1945

Actor Scenario Info

You have gone to see a new dentist for the following reason.

You think your upper denture “looks horrible†and is “coming looseâ€. You

have never had a lower denture and you don’t think that you could cope with

one. You don’t want to be any trouble and you think you will probably manage

with your denture if the dentist can adjust it.

Medical history

You are insulin dependent diabetic.

Your GP has given you some tablets “for your nervesâ€. You don’t have

them with you and you don’t remember what they are called.

Dental history

You have not attend the dentist since your upper teeth were extracted

for your wedding when you were 21

You brush your teeth every day

Social history

You husband died of cancer last year and you live on your own in a

socially deprived town.

You have two daughters and one son.

Attending the surgery is a bit difficult for you. It takes an hour on

the bus, however you are happy to have whatever treatment the dentist deems to

be best.

Further scenario info for the actor (Only if asked by the candidate)

You are embarrassed about your dental condition and poor attendance

history. You have not eaten in front of anyone other than your husband for the

past 20 years, not even at your daughter’s wedding reception. Your speech is

also affected.

Examiner’s Info

Extra-oral exam

Nothing abnormal. Decrease in lower face height

Intra-oral exam

Soft tissue screening; The mucosa beneath the upper denture is inflamed

with an appearance of chronic candidiasis. There is a large ulcer on the

tongue. The upper anterior ridge is

mobile and “flabby†and when the patient speaks, the upper denture has a

noticeable tendency to drop.

Bony tissue screening; On palpation, it can be felt that there is a bony

structure under the right posterior side.

In the lower jaw, there are incisors, canines and first premolars. The LL1 broke about 2 weeks ago when the

patient was eating a toffee. It is not painful, though. All of the remaining

lower teeth have abrasion cavities and LL4 and LR4 are carious, both cervically

and occlusaly.

Occlusion; Appears to be Class III. It is difficult to get the patient

bite in a retruded contact position

Vitality test; not available

Generalized alveolar bone loss

Hi Alena ,Thank you for sharing this interesting case with us , and i would like to know wht are ur thoughts about it.Well , i believe nerve tablets are Vit. B12 and i dont knw their relevence to the ttt.I believe as an emergency phase ,i would first prescrible an antiseptic gel (Bonjela) for the large tongue ulcer and refer rightaway for screening at the hospital , also she requires a thorough periodontal ttt .Then going to the main problem ,which is the loose upper denture , i would advice she needs to extract her upper right impacted wisdom tooth and also refer her for surgical ext.We would then do relining or remake the whole upper denture once the wound heals.I would also advice for a lower denture once the periodontal condition is stable and the LL and LR4 are restored also the

broken LL1

needs to be restored.Tell me then wht you think.Regards , Hannalla.From: Alena Ozieva <alenaozieva@...>Subject: new DTP case-denture" " < >Date: Wednesday, August 17, 2011, 5:17 AM

Hello everyoneI brought a new case for the discussion

Miss son

DOB; 13/07/1945

Actor Scenario Info

You have gone to see a new dentist for the following reason.

You think your upper denture “looks horrible†and is “coming looseâ€. You

have never had a lower denture and you don’t think that you could cope with

one. You don’t want to be any trouble and you think you will probably manage

with your denture if the dentist can adjust it.

Medical history

You are insulin dependent diabetic.

Your GP has given you some tablets “for your nervesâ€. You don’t have

them with you and you don’t remember what they are called.

Dental history

You have not attend the dentist since your upper teeth were extracted

for your wedding when you were 21

You brush your teeth every day

Social history

You husband died of cancer last year and you live on your own in a

socially deprived town.

You have two daughters and one son.

Attending the surgery is a bit difficult for you. It takes an hour on

the bus, however you are happy to have whatever treatment the dentist deems to

be best.

Further scenario info for the actor (Only if asked by the candidate)

You are embarrassed about your dental condition and poor attendance

history. You have not eaten in front of anyone other than your husband for the

past 20 years, not even at your daughter’s wedding reception. Your speech is

also affected.

Examiner’s Info

Extra-oral exam

Nothing abnormal. Decrease in lower face height

Intra-oral exam

Soft tissue screening; The mucosa beneath the upper denture is inflamed

with an appearance of chronic candidiasis. There is a large ulcer on the

tongue. The upper anterior ridge is

mobile and “flabby†and when the patient speaks, the upper denture has a

noticeable tendency to drop.

Bony tissue screening; On palpation, it can be felt that there is a bony

structure under the right posterior side.

In the lower jaw, there are incisors, canines and first premolars. The LL1 broke about 2 weeks ago when the

patient was eating a toffee. It is not painful, though. All of the remaining

lower teeth have abrasion cavities and LL4 and LR4 are carious, both cervically

and occlusaly.

Occlusion; Appears to be Class III. It is difficult to get the patient

bite in a retruded contact position

Vitality test; not available

Generalized alveolar bone loss

-

-

-

-

4

-

BPE;

BOP; some

Grade 1 mobility

OH; some dental plague is visible.

Special exam and other props

Study cast; not available

Photos; available

OPG; not available

Periapicals of the lower anterior teeth and upper right posterior side.

The latter shows an impacted wisdom tooth.

Thanks for the DTP below. however, i want to share as well. here's mine, please

correct me if iam wrong:

A) Emergency;

1) tell pt make sure everytime eat ur food & take medication before coming to

clinic for precaution of hypoglycemic attack.

2) explain loose UCD bec of flabby ridge, refer to omfs for excesion as even new

denture wont fit if flabby still present.

3) explain U mucosa inflammed ( denture stomatitis) as result of poor OH,

diabetes, wear denture at night. give Nystatin 100,000 mouthwash for 7 days,

review after that if still refer to o medicine specialist for biopsy or systemic

antifungal drug.

4) ulcer in tongue might be bec of broke LL1, give benzydamine mouth wash to

reduce soreness twice a day for 5 days & smooth LL1. review in 7 days, if the

same refer to omfs for biopsy or steriods.

B) Treatment;

5) periodontitis, explain what is it, the causes: poor plaque control, stress,

diabetes, age, genetic. mobility grade 1 in L 2,3,4 with poor prognosis. scaling

+ OHI, refer to periodontist for deep pocket cleaning & consutaltion as may be

extraction for L 2,3,4 better.

6) attrition,abration, caries in L teeth. if remain it after consutation with

periodontist. put GIC.

7) there's UR8 impacted, check it with omfs for monitoring as there's no problem

now, might be need surgical removal in future if pathological problem occur.

C) Restoration;

8) after anything is Ok, give options for upper; either complete plastic/metal

or implant with overdenture after advice from ur GP if ur diabetes is truly

stable as risk of infection.

for lower; either fill lower teeth with composit & RPD plastic/metal, RCT of

lower teeth + overdenture, or complete plastic/metal with/ without implant.

D) Maintanence;

9) review 6 months for checking ..etc

You think your upper denture “looks horrible†and is “coming looseâ€. You

have never had a lower denture and you don’t think that you could cope with

one. You don’t want to be any trouble and you think you will probably manage

with your denture if the dentist can adjust it.

Medical history

You are insulin dependent diabetic.

Your GP has given you some tablets “for your nervesâ€. You don’t have

them with you and you don’t remember what they are called.

Dental history

Hi guysthank you for sharing your treatment plans.I feel that in emergency phase we still need to do reline...even know that there is a flabby ridge.Explain that it is a temporary,and after surgery once mucosa healed make all options above(removable,non-removable)She came with complains of loose denture...we need to do smf about it.Poor fit of denture is a cofactor of candida thrush.Pt needs to know that smf done about it.and of course terat candida,ulcer,referral etc.What do you think guys?SincerelyLyudmylaFrom: Veena B <veena913@...> Sent: Wednesday, 17 August 2011, 22:55Subject: Re: new DTP case-denture

hi Lyudmyla,

Thanks a lot for adding that very important point here.. you are absolutely

right.. we can reline the denture with a tissue conditioner, prescribe

anti-fungals, allow tissue to heal and then go for permanent treatment.

Kind Regards,

Smriti

Hi guys,

This is my opinion,

First we need to talk about his D.M condition, and need to tell regular meal and insulin intake,and the essential about to bring his insulin with him as an emergency.

Second we need to touch the main compln.reason for looseness in very brief and understandable.Then we hv to tell ,pt need to go for new denture,bec his ridge shape has been changed. bec As we all know there is sp mtd of imprsn tech for flappy ridge.I dont think so we need to talk about surgery.I think this is one of the past case,and the exmaminer will expect from us whether we will treat the pt or refr the pt.further more we have to tell the pt bfr going for new denture his candida condition should be treated,for that today i can prescribe cream.futher more we need to talk abt denture hygiene,maintanence,and its essential.defntly in this case pt will keep asking will u treat my condition,and what will u do today.what i think is we need to tell the pt ,ys i can treat u but before that ur infected condn should be treated,and i would like to make u aware of ur denture hygiene.

pls correct me if my opinion is wrong.

Great point!Surely we need to overcome that...how good when you have different opinions..maybe thats what examiners wanted to hear.Mind you she is from poor area..maybe it is a hint...I ve got some infor on this matterImpression Technique

for a Flabby Ridge

A flabby ridge is one which becomes displaceable due to fibrous tissue

deposition. Most frequently seen in the upper anterior region. Usually

occurs when natural teeth oppose an edentulous ridge. A flabby ridge

causes instability of the denture. There are a number of different methods

to overcome this problem, 3 of which will be discussed.

SURGERY

This involves removal of the fibrous tissue to leave a firm ridge.

However removing the shock absorbing flabby ridge may lead to trauma of

the underlying bone, and an increased bulk of denture material.

The other technique involves constructing a denture over the flabby

ridge. The impression may be either mucostatic or mucodisplacive where a

mucostatic impression technique is selected then good retention will be

obtain when the teeth are out of occlusion. When the denture is put under

load instability may occur.

With mucodisplacive impression techniques the denture will only fit well

when the denture is under load, it may be unstable when at rest because

the flabby ridge tends to recoil back into its original position

displacing the denture.

WINDOW TECHNIQUE

A primary impression is taken in alginate loaded in a stock tray. The

impression is then poured and a special tray is constructed on the model.

The special tray is close fitting and has a hole or "window"

over the area corresponding to the flabby ridge. An impression is taken in

impression paste (mucodisplacive). Once this has set it is left in place

and impression plaster (mucostatic) is painted over the flabby ridge and

allowed to set and removed as one impression. The impression is removed as

one, cast and the denture constructed on the resulting model.

SELECTIVE DISPLACIVE TECHNIQUE

This techniques aims to displace but not distort the flabby ridge as if

in function. A primary impression is taken in a mucostatic impression

material (e.g. impression plaster or alginate) and cast in stone. A spaced

special tray for an impression compound impression is then constructed on

this model. The tray is loaded with compound and an impression taken of

the model of the patient's mouth. This reduces the risk of displacing the

flabby ridge. The tray is then warmed and placed in the patient's mouth.

It is adapted and border moulded to the tissues, and should be quite

retentive. The impression is removed and warmed all over apart from the

flabby ridge area. The impression is retaken, the flabby ridge is

compressed but not distorted as the other portions of the impression

compound sink into the tissues. The impression is removed inspected and

re-tried in the mouth to check that it is stable. If any instability

occurs then the impression should be reheated and re-taken. A wash

impression may be taken in impression paste to obtain maximum detail and

retention and stability.

1) The flabby ridge has been marked on this patient

2) The preliminary cast and a spaced special tray

3) Impression of the cast being taken in impression compound

prior to being placed in the mouth

4) Flabby ridge impression after flaming and placing into the

patient's mouth

The treatment of flabby ridges is controversial and no one treatment

stands out against the rest, so it is often the method favoured by the

clinician that is used. SincerelyLyudmylaFrom: Latha Santrasegaram <yogan_latha@...> Sent: Thursday, 18 August 2011, 10:34Subject: Re: new DTP case-denture

Thanks Lyu for sharing useful informationI guess we have to use tissue conditioner+crash tablets nistatin etc etc,review in a week then we can take impressions(below)because we need the inflammation to be gone...or ask if she wants to be referred to MFS...It looks like that two treatment planning sorted by the group.It is good to put these all messages on microsoft word and apload in the file section so newcommers will have an easy access,rather going thru messages...
