Cone cut
Quality of film is 2
Immediate phase:
Educate the patient regarding all dental concerns
Give patient adhesive or chairside relining to improve looseness of denture
For UR4 Pulp extirpation, ledermix dressing and seal with temporary filling
Application of fluoride and prescription of desensitising fluoride tooth paste
Stabilization phase:
 For gingivitis give OHI, supra and sub gingival scaling
 Give patient option of treatment for denture repair denture, new acrylic or chrome
cobalt denture, bridge and implant
 Give patient treatment option for UR4 either RCT and crown or extraction
 Refer patient to GP for stress management and give night guard to prevent further
TSL
 Monitor TSL with photos and cast modules if habit stops and patient wants
treatment give option of composite, veneer and crown
 Caries removal on 13 and restoration placement composite or GIC
 Treatment of amalgam filling on 15 due to overhang: leave it as it is or replace.
 Replacement option of UR6 removable, bridge or implant .
 Dietary analysis and advice of reduce sugar consumption
 Smoking cessation advice
Preferred definitive:
Construction of new chrome cobalt partial denture
Root canal treatment for UR4 and pfm crown
consider this patient this patient, briefly describe what has led you into choosing this
overall care plan and the benefits (likely success, cost time ,ect)to the patient .
reline the denture…. improve the fit temporarily
new cast partial denture……. complies with wishes of the patient/less cost/patient already
accustomed to it.
pulp extirpation for UR4 brings patient out of pain
R.C.T …saves the natural tooth/implies with patient wishes
PFM after root canal on UR4 …gives security to the tooth and good aesthetic
Fluoride varnish …. relieves sensitivity
Bite guard…. protects teeth from further destruction
Consider this patient are there any potential disadvantages of this treatment
(complicated, high risk of failure, short life of restoration, ect) for this patient.
Relining denture fit might not improve
Cast partial denture more cost than acrylic/removable /compromise gum health
RCT UR4 10% failure risk and infection/fracture of file in canal
Bite guard require patient compliance
Would you provide all or part of the treatment for this patient yourself so which part or
parts? (give reasons)
Yes, all treatment in emergency /stabilization/ preferred definitive and maintenance phase
except restoration for upper and lower front teeth with crown
Would you refer the patient for all or part of the treatment? If so which part or parts and
to which specialist?
Part of treatment i.e restoration of upper and lower anterior with crowns to restorative
specialist as they require specialist skill restoration of so many teeth is beyond scope of
GDP.

3-Composite: cost effective, easy and no tooth structure to be removed
Considering this patient are there any potential disadvantages of this treatment (complicated,
high risk of failure, short life of restoration, etc) for the patient?
1-requires referral, long treatment and expensive with risk of breakage and lodgement of files and
perforation of root.
2-asthetic not corrected and continued food impaction in that area risk of caries in adjacent teeth if
patient does not clean the area regularly
3-can chip off or wear off and stains risk of sensitivity
Would you provide all or part of the treatment for this patient yourself? If so which part? (give
your reasons)
Yes, will provide all emergency and long-term maintenance and part of stabilisation
Would you refer the patient for all or part of the treatment? If so which part or parts and to which
specialist?
Yes, to endodontist for RCT not under the scope of GDP complexity 3
Some notes:
How to explain enamel pearl to a patient?
It is a small blob on the tooth we call it enamel pearl which is part of the outer protective layer of the
tooth which is in an uncommon place on the root of the tooth. It is not common but nothing to
worry about, researches has shown that it has the tendency in 13% to cause irritation to the core of
the tooth and it to die for unknown reasons and in other cases it can cause irritation to the gums.
We will do RCT with specialist….and I can refer you a gum specialist to have it grinded off we call that
enameloplasty if he thinks it is necessary.
If patient insist on having a bridge?

I will refer you to a restorative specialist as I mentioned there is not enough space there. so, he will
assess you for this as it is out of my scope of practice. He is in a better position to advise you about
this treatment.

edges are sharp, denture had no clasps. Denture has been altered, front teeth removed and added
to the denture couple of months ago, Patient cleans denture once a week and is not wearing it now,
take denture out at night.
 Since when have you had the denture? Is it your first denture? Why did you have your teeth
removed?
 Is it an upper or lower denture? Does it replace all or some of your teeth? Is it a plastic or
metal denture?
 When did, the looseness happened? Is it sudden or gradual?
 For UR5: Is the abutment tooth wobbly or broken? What about the teeth that hold the
denture in place they have a filling on it? Is it broken? Which tooth is it? How did it break?
Any sharp edges? Any pain? any RCT?
 For UL5: Is the abutment tooth wobbly or broken? What about the teeth that hold the
denture in place do they have a filling on it? Do you have it with you? Is it broken? Which
tooth is it? How did it break? Any sharp edges? Any pain? any RCT?
 Does your denture have any hooks? Are they broken?
 Was your denture altered?
 How many times do you clean your denture? Do you take your denture out at night?

overdenture treatment if you feel confident so referral is not necessary)
 Other preferred definitive option that can be done:

1-Refer to a prosthodontic for over denture.
2-post core crown on the upper 5s and new denture
3-construct an overdenture yourself
 You want to avoid extraction in this case and patient is at risk of bleeding and teeth are RCT
which will render them brittle so extraction will be complicated might need surgery and
bone removal. You should explain to the patient if they opt for this option you must refer
him/her for an INR first and will take further precaution by applying suture and pressure
gauze to stop bleeding. Explain extraction is not recommended and better avoided.
 How to explain post core crown to patient:
We can build the tooth with a post which is basically a nail in the tooth that will hold the crown. The
advantages you will restore your natural tooth but it has the tendency to come off.
 Explain the coping and over denture:
We can prepare the broken teeth in a special way as they already have a good rct. where the teeth
will have a small protection cap over it and it will be used as a male part and female part in the
denture that sits on top of it, this will give you a denture with better support, avoid removal of teeth
and preserving natural teeth the disadvantages is the cost, teeth might get infected and might
require a referral.

Present Complaint and History: ‘Concerned about my looks’

Generalized discolouration started 7 years ago, getting worse, milk teeth had no problem, no
trauma, pain or sensitivity or dental treatment. No family history. it is only on the teeth that show
when I smile. Patient consumes 7-8 cups of coffee, not much tea, patient consumes 30-35 units of
red wine was unemployed and stressed and now starting a new job as a manager at the national
park. Patient brushes once a day and uses Corsodyl mouth wash every night. Not a smoker. I wish I
can have teeth as white as the crown that I have.
 Where is the discolouration? Which teeth are you concerned about?
 Since when have you noticed it?
 What about your milk teeth did they have the same problem? Any family history of the same
problem?

In this case avoid talking to the patient about sending him for a blood test in the medical link,
leave it to when you explain about periodontitis and how diabetes is link to this condition.
Address patient main concerns at this stage which is discoloration give patient all the option.
Give advantages and disadvantages for each option.
Scaling advantages do it in one go, remove all stains and deposit and cost effective
Scaling disadvantages can bring sensitivity and does not whiten the teeth
explain until we bring the gum condition I cannot offer you the rest of the options unless we
stabilize you gum disease.
Advice patient about periodontal abscess: caused by plaque and calculus which contain germs
these creeps along the tooth making a gap between the tooth and bone this is called a pocket.
Germs produce some harmful substance causing accumulation of pus which causes swelling.
What I will do today I will clean the pocket and that will calm the pain down.
As the tooth is wobbly because it has lost a lot of bone support around the success rate for it is
low the option is to monitor it the advantages we are saving the natural tooth the down side it
might flare up. The other option is taking the tooth out and give you a removable option, fixed
option will be given after the stabilization of gum condition if you like.
Regarding periodontitis explain it and show the link to family history and diabetes. Explain you
are doing referring to GP as diabetes runs in families and has a direct link on treatment.
Explain treatment of periodontitis is a tringle of three:
1-the dentist: giving advice on cleaning and polishing, correct mouth wash, hygienist appoint-
ment and recalling you every three months
2-patient: should follow the advice given by keeping your teeth clean. I am sure you do not
want to lose your teeth
3-periodontal specialist (gum specialist) they will repeat the treatment that we have already
done plus some minor surgical procedures

Things we need to high light in the presentation:

Do not mention the word cancer to the patient but show them that you are worried. if after ex-
plaining the condition and patient is still hesitant about going for a biopsy and not bothered ad-
dress your concerns one way of doing that by mention three words seriously, nasty and sinister
for example:
I would advise you to take it more seriously, from the history that you have given, the colour
and shape it looks nasty. And as it has been there for quite a long time with the history of
smoking and alcohol I am suspecting something sinister. It has also not responded to the treat-
ment your GP prescribed so let’s explore it more for your peace of mind and my satisfaction.
You had that sharp filling for five years and it has been irritating the area continuously which is
not normal with the smoking and alcohol it can turn into something nasty.
Explain biopsy and inform patient only way to confirm or rule out diagnosis.

specialist?
Referral to periodontist for Aggressive periodontitis not under the scope of GDP complexity 2
Referral to orthodontist to correct occlusion not under the scope of GDP
Referral for implant not under the scope of GDP
Let me explain why your bridge is falling off:
First it has a faulty design the wing should extend all over the adjacent tooth and the way you are
biting the top and bottom teeth meet and tip off. in a normal bite this doesn’t happen as bottom
teeth close behind the upper teeth and that is why you bridge is coming off. we need to do
something about it. Is that clear?
For today I will glue the bridge back but keep in mind that it will come off again. So I can give you
couple of options either a removable plate which is acrylic or metal…….. etc , a new sticky bridge
which will have a proper design wing, but there is a possibility that they can come off . a fixed bridge
which has good aesthetic but we need to prepare the other two front teeth to give it enough
support and that puts the tooth under risk of death if it happens you will need further treatment.
Implant which has a high success rate and can last you a life time however if your bite is not
corrected then there will be a higher risk of failure for both implant and bridge, therefore I would
like to refer you to an orthodontist to have braces to correct your bite. I know you had this
treatment before and you are happy with it but if we don’t correct the bite you will keep having
problems with your replacements.
We can give you the new sticky bridge as an interim measure until your bite and gum disease is
corrected.
You mentioned your gums are bleeding, unfortunately you have an aggressive form of gum disease it
runs in families as you mentioned your mum had it and it is seen in those with excellent oral care but
you still get this disease as it is in your genes. I will refer you to a specialist so we control it and
prevent further progression.
your regurgitation reflex influenced the structure of your teeth, the stomach acid is very strong
which dissolves the enamel away. acid from food or drink will make it worse. you have mentioned
that it is under control which is very good, but you are still taking a lot of white wine which is high
acid so I will give you this diet chart to fill and we will highlight it next time. For the sensitivity, I will
apply fluoride gel on the teeth to stop it.
Notes we need to remember:
1- If patient says he doesn’t like the removable you still give it as an option to make sure you
show the examiner that you know.
2- Another treatment option that passed is as following:
New sticky bridge
Referral to periodontist
Referral to restorative specialist to construct a bridge of 6 units canine to canine and to
prevent the interference of edge to edge occlusion

Yes all immediate and long maintenance and part of stabilization
specialist?
Yes refer to implantology’s for implant require special training and knowledge not under the scope
of GDP
For the painful front tooth, it is chronic periapical abscess which is infection around the tip of the
root and there is pus collection and that is why you are having the swelling and pain on biting. The
good thing is that pus is coming out through the blister and that is why you are not having sever
pain. On the top of your mouth there is a swelling which I will numb the area around it and make a
small cut to allow the drainage of pus and that should get you out of pain. I would advise you to
continue taking the antibiotic that you have. You can also have some pain killer and that should help
with pain.
I will review you after a couple of days to make sure the pain has subsided. For the treatment
options, you can either:
1- Save the tooth by having a re-apicectomy I know you don’t want to spend more on it but we
can give it a last try nothing replaces a natural tooth. However, is has a low success rate
because of previous failed treatment and I will have to refer you to a maxillofacial specialist
2- Or Have the tooth taken out and give you replacement options:
a) we take an impression and give you an immediate denture same day we take the tooth
out, you won’t be left with a gap but because your medical condition there is a risk of injury
or inhalation it.
b) we can give you a sticky bridge which is an artificial tooth attached to a wing that is glues
to the back of the tooth next to it. It is a fixed option and won’t interfere with your condition
but if the area underneath it gets infected it will be difficult to remove it
the previous options can be used as a temporary measure and after healing is completed we
can give you a fixed option that is:l.
 Conventional cantilever bridge which is two caps stuck together it will get the
support from the tooth next to it good aesthetic and retention but there is a
possibility after preparing the healthy tooth it might undergo death if that happens
further treatment is required
 Implant explain advantage and disadvantages
The sequence of treating a failed RCT: first RCT, RE-RCT, APICETOMY, RE-APICETOMY, EXTRACTION
The pain under your bridge is because of decay. The margins of your bridge are poor and food is
getting stuck there. To relieve you form pain I will have to take the bridge off. I might damage the
bridge or break the teeth underneath it. i will then remove the decay and place a temporary filling
and then place the bridge or make a temporary bridge and put it in place.
For the permeant treatment of the filling composite or amalgam.
For the replacement of bridge either:
1- a new bridge within the time limit.
2- Crowns on the teeth and removable again there is risk of injury or inhalation
3- Crowns on teeth and implant long treatment
 there is another pain under the bridge, with irreversible pulpitis emergency treatment is
going through the bridge there is a possibility that the bridge or the tooth is damaged so will
take some x-rays to know the angulation but this bridge has poor margins it needs to be
replaced it. The other option is to remove the bridge, remove the nerve and seal the tooth,
then a temporary bridge is placed on tooth until we finish the treatment we can give you a
permanent replacement.
 Another case is when there is a wobbly tooth the abutment tooth is wobbly because of
periodontitis, in this case you can section the bridge leaving the crown on the tooth and give
replacement option for the rest.

Present Complaint and History: ‘Loose upper denture’
Patient is denture wearer for more than 40 years, had 8 dentures before because dentures becomes
loose and teeth removed and added to it. had this denture for 4 years the denture is a metal denture
replacing all my teeth but two one has a clasp and the other is under the denture. It became slightly
loose for 2 years ago, 2 days ago, it became very loose I dropped it while I was cleaning it and the
acrylic part broke I don’t remember where I put it old age you know ! Denture has clasps which are
okay on the UL7 abutment, the other is a root which has a RCT that has a coping and I lost it. I don’t
clean my denture it looks okay to me and I don’t take it out at night I cannot sleep with I always
wore it at night.
Other Complaints and History: ‘I have a wobbly tooth’

LL7, wobbly for the last 3 years, gums are bleeding and always did I am not bothered about it, gums
shrinking down, gaps forming between my teeth, no family history or diabetes with moderate stress
Irregular attendee
Brushes once a day with a manual tooth brush uses mouth wash occasionally
Medical History:
I visit HIV clinic was diagnosed 4 years ago, on the following medication Tenofovir, Zidovudine,
Abacavir and Lamivudine. (if the patient gives you a card with medication names write them down).
there are four patient who give you a card the HIV patient, the patient with a lump on the palate,
patient with bulimia and the loose denture with broken abutments.
You should ask when was the viral load checked? My viral was checked 2 weeks ago, and the people
at the clinic were very happy. (do not say sorry to the patient about HIV stay neutral)
Social History:
Not a smoker and never smoked.
Alcohol taken occasionally
Sugar low-moderate
Acid low

 Medical link
o Advice patient to take medication and visit HIV clinic regularly
o Take consent to liaison with HIV clinic
o Referral to HIV clinic for viral load check in case of extraction or minor surgery
o Educate the patient about the link of HIV and periodontal disease
o Follow stress free protocol during appointment

o Educate the patient regarding all dental concerns
o Take an impression with denture and send it to the lab for repair
o Temporary dressing on the UR3
o Fluoride varnish on attrition (only if patient has sensitivity this patient doesn’t)

o OHI, supra and subgingival scaling, root surface debridement and referral to periodontal
specialist
o Option of UR3 replace the coping and use as abutment or extract and include in replacement
option
o Refer to prosthodontic for window impression or to maxillofacial for removal of tissue
o Option of replacement for upper either upper acrylic denture, CR-CO denture, overdenture
and implant supported denture
o Option for lower replacement of LR 5,6 and LL 5,6 denture acrylic or CR/CO, bridge or
implant supported
o LL 7 monitor or extraction and add to replacement option
o LL4 extraction or RCT and crown
o Monitor TSL with photograph and study cast

o Give denture hygiene advice
o Referral to periodontist
o Referral to prosthodontic for upper new overdenture using UR3 as abutment, extraction of
UL7 and add it to denture
o Extraction of LL7 and give new lower acrylic denture

 Recall every 3 month
 Review periodontal condition, restorative work done and TSL
 Reinforce OHI and denture hygiene instruction
Over denture: maintain height of jaw, no surgery (only window impression), patient is HIV, poor
prognosis of the UL7, better retention, restore function and aesthetic
Referral to periodontist: to control periodontal condition and prevent progression of disease and
prevent natural teeth loss
New lower acrylic denture: to have a balance distribution of occlusion, stop overgrowth of flappy
ridge, poor prognosis of the LL7, further teeth can be added to the denture
Long treatment require referral, flappy ridge still exist might affect the retention of denture,
abutment tooth might get infected and need extraction at a later stage
Treatment is unreliable link to patient’s medical history needs compliance of patient
Acrylic denture is bulky, thick patient never had lower denture might find it difficult to adapt
your reasons)
Yes immediate, most of stabilization and long-term management
specialist?
Yes to prosthodontic for overdenture out of the scope of GDP and periodontist complexity 3
This is a quick outline of what you need to tell the patient. It is too long very difficult
to cover everything!!!
Thank you for waiting I have the results………
Let’s start with your medical history I might need to contact you HIV clinic to make sure
whatever treatment we decide on is safe for you, your safety is first,
Your denture is loose because it is broken I will take a mould with the denture send it to the lab
and make sure it’s ready on time before the wedding so you can attend with a confident smile.
Now this denture might not last you for long I have noticed you have a loose fold of gum tissue
there so I think it’s a good time to discuss all the options that we have, either acrylic/CO-CR,
overdenture and implant (explain link between HIV and implant).
I will refer you to prosthodontic to have a special mould made which does not involve a surgery
but the tissue will remain or refer you to a surgeon to have it removed but as you are HIV pos-
itive I would like to avoid surgery.
‘’You have an advance form of gum disease which is an irreversible condition it has a close link
to your medical condition which makes this disease more aggressive and that is why you are
losing many teeth,
Your LL7 is wobbly we can monitor it as we treat your gum condition it might stabilize saving a
natural tooth but looking at it has a poor prognosis. The other option is to take it out and add it
to the new replacement.
UL7 is of poor prognosis the gum and bone around it has shrunk if I keep it and give you the re-
placement within a few years you will comeback complaining about it, so let’s deal with in now
and include it in the overdenture
The root you have has lost the small cap on top of it so I will seal it with temporary filling today
and later we can either place a new cap on it and save the natural tooth or have it taken out
but as it has a rct these teeth are very brittle and you might need a small surgery to have it
taken out which again we want to avoid.
Your lower teeth are missing we can give you a replacement for them and that will stop the
flabby ridge from growing options are …….
Talk about attrition and ask the patient to take the denture out and give denture hygiene in-
structions. monitor it
You have a LL4 that has lost a filling the tooth is dead so we can either leave it, rct or extraction
This case also come with a patient who has prostate cancer and had radiotherapy there is no
link of his medical history to dental treatment.

Present Complaint and History: ‘my gums are bleeding’

It started 3 months ago, around my upper front teeth, there is a soft swelling behind them. Swelling
is red in colour increasing in size appeared three months ago, No discharge but bleeding on touch,
not painful no tingling sensation, no pain in the teeth next to it or trauma, had a white filling placed
on the tooth next to it and swelling appeared around the same time. No body temperature and food
does not get stuck in it and no radiotherapy.
Other Complaints and History: ‘my teeth are sensitive’
It started 2-3 years ago, becoming worse, its generalized, they are sensitive to cold lasts for seconds.
Patient was diagnosed with acid reflex and GP stopped the omeprazole as condition is stabilized.
Patient is very concerned about healthy eating and takes 3-4 glasses of fresh fruit drinks. Patient had
no bleaching or orthodontic treatment. Patient does not grind their teeth and stress is low.
Causes of sensitivity are; erosion, attrition, abrasion, gum recession , bleaching
Since when have it started? Is it getting worse?
Is it sensitive to hot, cold or sweet? How long does it last?
Is it all over your teeth or to a specific area?
Do you grind your teeth? do you have any pain on the side of your face?
Do you have any tummy trouble or heart burn?
How much fruit juice or fizzy drinks do you take?
Do you think your gums are shrinking?

 Medical link
o History of acid reflex consult GP link to TSL

o Educate the patient about all dental concerns
o Remove the composite restoration and apply a temporary filling (in exam filling is okay only
overhang where you only remove the access and not change the whole filling) and localized
debridement for 11 and 21
o Apply durphate gel on 22600 ppm, to prevent sensitivity and give high fluoride tooth paste
and fluoride mouth rinse
o OHI, supra and subgingival scaling
o Reassess the pyogenic granuloma within 2 weeks, replace the filling on 21
o Monitor NCTSL with photograph and studying models
o Refer to restorative after stabilizing the NCTSL for restoring giving option is composite,
veneer or crowns with advantages, disadvantages and risk
o Dietary chart and dietary advice
o Monitor pyogenic granuloma and refer to maxillofacial if no signs or regression
o Referral to specialist for Composite restoration for TSL repair

o Review periodontal condition, TSL, restorative work and assess pyogenic granuloma
Removal of overhang and local debridement to help with regression of swelling
Monitor pyogenic granuloma can regress spontaneously, cost effect and simple
Varnish to stop sensitivity
Scaling and polishing to improve periodontal condition
Composite restoration for good aesthetic and cost effective
Composite- time consuming, can chip off or stain and cause sensitivity
Monitoring – swelling might not regress needs patient compliance
Scaling -can leave teeth with sensitivity
your reasons)
Yes, all immediate, most of stabilization and long term management
specialist?
Yes, to restorative specialist, TSL is generalized not under the scope of GDP
And to maxillofacial for biopsy and removal of pyogenic granuloma if it shows no signs or regression
The swelling you have is what we call a pyogenic granuloma it is nothing you need to worry
about. Our gums are very sensitive and they can get irritated easily. Now because the filling
that you has poor margin it caused upset to the gum which show as swelling and because it has
a lot of blood supply , it bleeds easily. You have also some tartar under the gum which is adding
to the irritation so what I will do today is …..

Present Complaint and History:’ I am in severe pain’

Left side of the skin on my cheek, pain never happens on right always on the left, horrible pain
electrical shock like pain, it comes and goes lasts for few seconds, the area is so sensitive the
slightest touch brings out the pain, pain is worse in the morning. It started suddenly when I was
shaving and it’s been there for 6 weeks now. And pain on shaving, washing my face or towel drying,
no pain from the teeth on that side or any treatment. No pain on sweet and does not disturb my
sleep. Haven’t had any treatment for it. I tired paracetamol but it didn’t help with the pain. I grind
my teeth and very stressed ,did not have any virus infection. Pain score 8-9.

Does it always come on the left side?
What sort of pain is it? throbbing dull electrical?
Is it there all the time or does it come and go? And how long does it last?
What brings on the pain? Is there any time of day where the attack is worse?
Can you relate it to something on how it started? What about towel drying?
How about the teeth on that side any pain or sensitivity>? Any treatment done on that tooth?
Do you get this pain on hot, cold or sweet?

Composite can chip off
Cr/co more expensive than acrylic
your reasons)
Yes immediate, most of stabilization and follow up
specialist?
Yes, will refer to maxillofacial specialist for monitoring and managing the patient further
investigation is required
Trigeminal neuralgia is basically pain coming from a nerve the Trigeminal nerve is a major nerve that
supply most of your face. It is an uncommon condition usually affecting people in their 50s or 60s the
cause of this is yet unknow but it is believed that with age the elasticity and flexibility of blood
vessels decrease causing compression on the nerve which you perceive as pain. There are many
facial pains but why I incline more toward TN is the feature of pain that you have described.
To relieve you from pain I will prescribe you with a medication called carbamazepine for 10 day only
you should space the medication throughout the day. We need to keep an eye on how your body is
liking the medication as everyone reacts differently to it so I would like to refer you to a specialist as
the dose of this medication needs to be altered, he will run a few tests and see how your body will
respond to it .If you respond to the medication that will confirm our diagnosis .
In the meantime, avoid the triggering area when you leave the house make sure you wrap your face
with a scarf to protect it. If it is what I think it is an irreversible condition unfortunately the
medication will not treat it but it will reduce the number of attacks and severity

Present Complaint and History: ‘not happy with my dentures’

Lower immediate acrylic partial denture was given same appointment the teeth were removed. One
of the Abutment on the right-hand LR3 side got decayed and infected a year ago, and need to be
removed tooth but not added to the denture, the denture is not broken, clasps on denture seem
fine, patient has dry mouth for two years has not seek medical advice but carrying a bottle of water
to keep his mouth moist. I clean my denture after every meal and keep it clean as advised by my
dentist, she takes them out at night and keep them in a container of water. I lost my teeth because a
few of them got wobbly if patient give history of teeth removed for periodontal problems ask
about Family history, Stress, Smoking and Diabetes and some got decayed.
Upper acrylic complete denture, patient had it for 15 years second set of denture. First was a
temporary denture. My upper denture is becoming loose over a period of time.no alterations done
to the denture, denture is not broken. Dentures making me look old.
Other Complaints and History: ‘my gums bleed’
Bleeds around all my teeth, bleed only on brushing it has been ongoing for a year and it’s the same
not getting worse, gums are not swollen, teeth are not becoming shorter, gums are not shrinking, I
never smoked am a little bit stressed, NO diabetes or family history of gum disease.
Irregular attendee last time 13 months ago, to remove the LR3, not anxious visiting the dentist
Brushes twice a day with Coalgate toothpaste

them down as this card will be taken away
Scleroderma affects the collagen fibres, these patients usually have dry mouth or associated with
sjorgen syndrome. Patient usually complains of periodontitis
osteoarthritis since 5 year/taking gold medication for it

plan (likely success, cost, time ,etc) to the patient?
Relining the denture to improve retention temporarily
Lower acrylic denture further teeth could be added to it in the future
New complete acrylic easy to make and cost effective
Local measures for xerostomia to reduce difficulty in eating and speaking
Durphate and high fluoride tooth paste as preventive measure to decay
Scaling and polishing improve periodontal health and prevent progression of disease
Relining only helps temporarily
Local measures for xerostomia might not be effective
New acrylic denture bulky heavy and fragile can break easily

specialist?
Yes, to maxillofacial if supplying patient with orthana lozenges does not help, out of the scope of
GDP require further skills and knowledge
An immediate denture is given to replace you missing teeth and you are not left with a gap it also
works as a bandage to prevent bleeding of the wound. after the healing take place within the first
few months your bone and gums shrink and will have new measurements and that is why your
denture is loose. You have also mention that the tooth that supports your denture in place has been
removed and not added to your denture, the denture has lost all the support of it, in addition your
dry mouth is making the condition even worse.
Part of aging process is shrinkage of bone which effects the stability of the denture which in turn
supports you lips, hopefully with a new denture we can slightly improve that

Present Complaint and History: ‘there is a gap between my front teeth’

Since childhood, no treatment done for it, it is getting bigger, the teeth next to it are not painful, I
have a crown on my UR1 and a rct the tooth was too discoloured, there is condition called
dentinogenic imperfecta runs in the family, I am not happy with the gap I am dreading to smile its
affecting my confidence. I don’t have any missing teeth only the ones that were removed.
 Where is the gap? Have you always had it? is it the same or getting bigger?
 How about the teeth on either side of the gap any pain or sensitivity? Any missing teeth?
 Any dental treatment done? Any rct? did you have braces? Any trauma to that area?
 Why was it discoloured u can see other teeth discoloured too?
Other Complaints and History: ‘all my teeth are sensitive’
Been like this for many years since childhood, sensitive to hot and cold especially cold, patient does
not grind no pain on the side of the face, no habits of nail biting, I use gentle force to brush my
teeth, I brush for I minute, no gastric reflex, acid intake is low, has 15-20 units of white wine a week,
tooth are not getting shorter or longer, my gums are not shrinking down,
When patient has, sensitivity ask from what, where, how long does it last, grinding, acid intake,
acid reflex, abrasion,
‘my gums bleed ‘all over my gums started 6 months ago, all over my teeth, no shrinking gums,
started bleeding on brushing now it bleeds all the time no space in-between the teeth, some teeth
are getting wobbly especially back teeth and my UR1, no diabetes, no stress, never smoked, no
family history, no salty taste nor bad breath
Irregular dental attendee last visit was 2 years ago, /her denture needed repair, it is an upper partial
acrylic denture, my teeth were severely worn down because of dentinogenic imperfecta so they
removed them, had denture for 5 years was relined as it became loose now it does not fit me
anymore, I dropped my denture it doesn’t look like broken to me, it has clasp they are fine, teeth
that hold the denture in place are fine no problem with them. I clean my denture as instructed by
the dentist after every meal and soak in in a solution, and take my denture out at night and put it in
a container of water.

I know that you are here to discuss about your gap but I found a condition in your gums that
has a direct link to this gap becoming bigger and unless we stabilize your gum disease we will
not be able to do anything to it. the gum condition that you have is called aggressive period-
ontitis, although you are taking good care of your teeth and there are minimal irritating factors
around your gums margins but unfortunately the type of gum disease can happen even when
you take good care of your teeth and there can be various reasons for this. Sometimes it can
run in families sometimes it is due to hormones or medical condition but it can also happen for
no obvious reason. We need to work hand in hand to prevent further damage, you need to
keep a meticulous oral hygiene and I will give your teeth a good clean to remove any hard de-
posit and will be seeing you on a regular basis every three month and will referral to a gum spe-
cialist.
Once this gum condition is stabilized we can close the space in-between your front teeth be-
cause if the foundation is weak how can we build on top.
The gap in between your front teeth there can be reasons for it. it can be genetic but what wor-
ries me is that it is getting bigger because of this gum condition. The supporting structure
around the tooth is compromised and the tooth loses the support around it and becomes
wobbly and tend to move and that is probably what’s happening in your case. So for you front
wobbly tooth we will monitor it and after the gum treatment hopeful it will stabilize
The options of treatment for that gap is to remove the crown on the right side and make a big-
ger crown and mask the gap with some more treatment on the left tooth which could be a
filling , veneer or crown which is a less invasive treatment matching the filling and veneer with
the crown will be difficult and if you go for a crown it will look chunky and unnatural however if
you decided to go for this treatment we will try our best to make them look as natural as pos-
sible. Keeping in mind your young age we can refer you to a specialist in braces to close the gap
by means of hooks and chains.it will give you good results but it is a long treatment …ect, but
this is only possible once the gum condition stabilises.
Sensitivity is because the condition that runs in your family this effects the second layer of your
tooth called the dentine which work as a cushion to support the above protective layer the
enamel. Because the dentin is defective the enamel is wearing off very quickly and this exposes
the dentine and that is why you have the sensitivity. You are also consuming a lot of white wine
which is very acids and this wears off your teeth at a faster rate. Your alcohol limit is above that
recommended by the national health body I would suggest if you could keep it below 14 units
which will benefit your health in general. I will apply fluoride …ect and if you are worried about
the appearance I can refer you to a specialist who can mask the colour.
Talk about the decay, and denture emergency treatment and option of stabilization if you give
bridge you should refer to a specialist.
Treatment of mobile teeth:
Grade 1 monitor
Grade 2 monitor or extract
Grade 3 extract if posterior in emergency if anterior in stabilisation to make an immediate den-
ture.

Present Complaint and History: ‘I hate my denture’

My denture has a good fit, I had it 8 months ago it is my first denture had a bridge before and one
tooth got infected and removed it they gave me an upper partial acrylic denture and a crown, the
denture is replacing some of my front teeth which I lost because they became wobbly.it is painful at
the corner of my mouth (around the canine) I can’t taste food and it makes me gag it has been like
that from day one I never liked it. I have attended the review appointment no alteration was done
and the dentist said I need to give it time to get used to it. the gag is getting better but the pain is
still there it is a very achy dull sort of pain it always there and gets worse at night. The denture is not
broken or have sharp edges. For the pain, I am taking codeine over the counter for 5 months. Pain is
very bad that I can’t keep wearing it because of pain. My teeth don’t meet when I talk or eat and I
can close my lips together. I do have a dry mouth it’s been there for few months I did not seek any
treatment I am just drinking a lot of water and going to the loo more often. the denture has hooks
which are fine the denture was not given to me straight after my teeth were removed. I clean my
denture following the instructions given by my dentist and soak it in a solution and put it in a
container with water.
Ask all the questions related to denture plus the following:
When you close, your mouth does your lips meet?
Do your teeth meet more often when you eat or speak?
Another case where the patient doesn’t have fibromyalgia but has an increase in the OVD and
patient will give the following answers on top of the above is very bad that I can’t keep wearing it
because of pain. My teeth do meet when I talk or eat and I can’t close my lips together
Other Complaints and History: ‘pain in the UL 5’
It has been a week, first time, sharp pain on cold lasts for few seconds it is getting worse comes and
goes, doesn’t it affect sleep, severity is 6 no swelling, no trauma no temperature. The tooth has a cap
and it is not root filled, not taking any medication for this as pain disappears quickly, doesn’t radiate

plan (likely success, cost, time ,etc) to the patient?
Excavate caries and temporary filling: to relief pain, GIC releases fluoride
Stop codeine: improve dry mouth
PFM: good aesthetic better margin
Chrome cobalt: easy to use, thin and light does not exert too much pressure on muscles
Implant: fixed option high success rate
Periodontal treatment: to improve gingival health
PFM further destruction of tooth risk of pulp necrosis
Cobalt chrome expensive and can deteriorate the periodontal condition
Implants: expensive involves a surgery

Yes, periodontal treatment, PFM , CO/CR denture and follow up
specialist?
Yes to implantologist not under the scope of GDP
We will give you frequent breaks during the treatment because the last I wont to do to you is tier
your muscle and give you pain. Please bring your inhaler with you, and we will avoid anything that
can trigger your asthmatic attack. Please stop the codeine as it can be the cause of dry mouth you
are having and I would suggest using paracetamol instead. Please ask for medical advice before you
take any medication as you are taking a couple of medications and some of these don’t like each
other and can put you in a bigger trouble.
Coming to the denture, I have had a look at the denture I can’t see anything wrong with it. the only
thing I can think of is the medical condition you are suffering from. Fibromyalgia is a medical
condition where your muscles get worked up very quickly and your body preserve that as pain. The
pink denture needs muscle control to stay in place and as the day passes the muscles get used, over
worked and tired and you perceive this as pain. Ideally anyone with fibromyalgia they should receive
fixed option but because of a gum condition that I have pick on I cannot offer you this option unless
we control your gum condition. the only option I have for you now is a removable metal denture,
these dentures take support from the teeth and do not require as much muscle control as the pink
denture. But these dentures may have an adverse effect on the gum condition you have. Give fixed
option fixed-fixed bridge this will be a long span so I will need to refer you to a restorative specialists
and implant.
Explain periodontitis, we also pick some teeth that are loose but it is still a grade one and hopefully
after the treatment of your gums it will stabilise and have a good grip. Explain treatment. You are
complaining of dry mouth and going to the rest room a lot and these are symptoms related to
diabetes therefore I would like to refer you to your GP to have a blood test done to make sure you
are fine. Diabetes have a direct effct on your gum condition
Regarding your upper left 5 which has a poor margin, germs has crept in and caused decay. The good
thing that it has not extended to the centre of the tooth and we call this reversible pulpitis. For today
I will remove the decay and apply a dressing and temporary filling and cap we will monitor it for 2
weeks if no pain then we can give you a new crown but if you come back with pain that means we
need to do a RCT for that tooth and a cap on top or extract the tooth.

Present Complaint and History: ’uncomfortable feeling in my gums’ if patient comes with a
swelling, lump or uncomfortable feeling always ask about the adjacent teeth are they okay painful or
do they have any dental treatment on them, this case patient will either complain of uncomfortable
heavy feeling of the gums or achy itchy gums. The patient sometimes said she had the crowns
because of erosion in other cases she said she had fluorosis.
I had it for one year into on the front upper jaw on the right side not getting any worse didn’t have
any treatment of it, I have caps from 13-23 with some of them have RCT but I don’t know which
ones, I had crowns 8 years ago, because my teeth started to wear off. I don’t grind my teeth but they
are wearing off because of a medical condition of bulimia 18 years ago, when I was a teenager it is
sort of controlled but I haven’t seen my GP for very long time. I was happy with them but now they
are stained. I smoke 20 cigarettes for the last 20 years, I take 5 units of red wine per week and use a
Corsodyl mouth wash I have been using it for 6 month got it over the counter, not into tea and
coffee. No trauma to the area or sharp teeth there.my gums are bleeding for the last 6-8 months
ago, it’s the same not getting any worse.
Other Complaints and History: ‘my filling on the back teeth are chipping off’ ‘’’’patient said to some
my crowns are chipping off’’
I have silver filling on my back-right teeth they are chipping off had them for many years, it been a
couple of months no pain or sensitivity from the teeth but there is sharp edges causing irritation to
the tongue and cheek, no skin breakage or any white or red patches any injury no parafunctional
habits
Very irregular attendee-last visit 3years back cleaning and a filling. I am not anxious visiting the
dentist
I brush twice a day with a manual tooth brush occasionally use floss / when patient mention they
use mouth wash ask which one? If Corsodyl ask for how long and was it prescribed by the dentist?

Will refer to endodontic specialist internal resorption is a complexity 3 out of my scope and will refer
to restorative specialist after controlling bulimia for composite build up to restore the TSL a
generalized condition of out my experts
Regarding your complaint about the itchiness in your gums after running some investigation there
are a couple of thing that I have found which maybe the cause:
1-the front tooth on the right side if you look at the x-ray there is a black shadow which we call
internal resorption which means the centre of the tooth has the nerve and vessels which keep the
tooth alive it also has protective cells and sometimes these cells get damaged because of injury or
previous dental treatment and can sometimes happen for no reason at all. so, these cells misbehave
and start eating the tooth from inside the good thing that we have picked it at this stage where is
haven’t damaged lots of your tooth structure if we don’t do anything about it will only get worse, to
save the tooth we need to clean the tooth from inside to get rid of that part giving you a dressing
and temporary filling. Follow that you have 2 option first is save the tooth by means of doing a rct
advantage/disadvantage and risks because the tooth has been eaten away from the inside I must
refer you to a specialist in rct to have the treatment done to make sure you get the best treatment
available. The other option is remove the tooth and give you on the same day a plastic denture as a
temporary measure so you are not left with a gap and go out with a confident smile. After the
healing is completed we can discuss a permanent replacement option. Advantages /disadvantage
risk.
2-the other thing I have found is what we call it….. black shadow in close proximity to the tip of the
root, this happens in teeth with a caps and no never treatment done it happens in 1 in every 5,this
cause irritation to the centre of the tooth and infection which spreads through the root to the under
lying tissue and that could be the cause of heaviness in your gums. it might not cause you any pain
at the moment but if we leave an infection it can flare up giving you pain and swelling. Explain
emergency and give option of treatment after. The good news that cap is good and we can go
through the crown it will be cost effective and less invasive or we can have the crown taken off but
there is a risk of fracture of the tooth…..
You have been complaining about staining on you crown this is causes by various factors smoking
causes stains and the same for red wine I would advise you to quit smoking and change your
preference of alcohol. The use of a Corsodyl mouth wash is known to satin your teeth as well as
alternating the taste sensation, this type of mouth wash should only be used for two week. I would
suggest you use a fluoride mouth wash instead. We can polish these crown or give you new crowns

Present Complaint and History:’ I have a painful tooth’
On my lower left jaw tooth number 7, pain has been there for 5 day it is the first time, pain is to
sweet and cold last for 15-30 minutes, pain on biting and especially when opening the mouth. Pain
came up when I was having dinner I bit on something hard. Pain is throbbing pain it is the same not
getting worse but couldn’t sleep last night. I had a silver filling 6-8 months ago, it was replaced in the
past because it was broken once and had decay under the filling. I don’t know if the filling is
fractured but there are no sharp edges. I don’t grind my teeth.
Ask pain history questions then add the following:
Is the pain when you bite hard or when opening your mouth?
Do you think the filling is fractured? Any sharp edges? Have you bitten anything hard?
Other Complaints and History:’ pain in front of my ear’
The pain is in front of my ear on the left side of my face I had it for 5-10 years.it it achy pain worse in
the morning and at night. pain comes and goes, I have had several occasions where I heard I clicking
noise when opening my mouth. I went to the GP and he put me on amitriptyline. I paid a visit to the
dentist saw too, gave me this horrible plastic plate I hate it makes me gag I suppose to wear it on my
top jaw but I never do and I don’t know where it is now. I had no trauma to the area. The pain I have
travels to my neck shoulders and jaw. My teeth are getting shorter and they are sensitive. I don’t
know if I have a white line on my cheek or indentation on my tongue.
After asking about pain ,
Ask about associated symptoms such as clicking noises, trismus and linea alba and scalloped tongue

The reason you are having this pain is because of the crack so when you bit the cracked parts are
moved away from each other but when you open your mouth the parts snap together and that is
why you feel the pain.
The pain on the side of your face is called facial arthromylgia and its coming from your jaw and
muscles on the side of your face which help to open and close your mouth although I do understand
you have mentioned that you do not grind your teeth some people do grind but they are unaware of
it. why I am more inclined that you do grind your teeth is the pattern, location and type of the pain.
People who grind are more likely to have cracks in their teeth. these muscles need to relax from the
use all day long the time they relax is when you sleep but because you grind your teeth your muscles
don’t get time to relax and are under constant tension which you perceive as pain.
You also mentioned that your teeth are shorter is because they rub against each other and the main
reason for this is stress I hope everything goes well with your job hunt. I would suggest referring you
back to your GP to review your stress medication that you are taking and that should help. i will give
you a a night guard I know you had one before which you had befor but I will make you a lower one.
This will protect your teeth and break the grinding habit.

your reasons)
Yes, all immediate and follow up and most of stabilization

To restorative specialist after NCTSL is stabilized
There are many causes for this discolouration it could be because of the trauma you had. The centre
of the tooth the nerve and vessels that keep the tooth alive these are sensitive to the slightest
irritation can cause it to go dead and when the blood breaks down the by-products seep through the
inner core to the middle part of the tooth the dentine and it reflect the greyish colour .this tooth has
a white filling and these filling get stain easily also you habit of red wine drinking and smoking is
adding to this problem and I would suggest changing your preference and stopping smoking and this
is adding to the problem.
Because this tooth is dead it has cause infection that has travelled along the root to the surrounding
structure that hold the tooth in place producing the germs there has grown there and produced
nasty substance which we call pus and the collection of it is called an abscess, the bodies way to fight
it is to through it out and that is why you have the pink spot where pus is discharged and that is
why you are having that bad taste and breath. I know its not giving you any pain but leaving an
infection in place can give you trouble.

Present Complaint and History: I moved to the area recently and I am here to register and have a
check-up only. I do not have any concerns
Other Complaints and History:
I visit my dentist regularly last time was 6 months ago, I have tooth number 12, is giving me
infections so I went to my dentist and he gave me antibiotics. now, I have no pain or sensitivity there
is no treatment or RCT done on that tooth. But when pain comes I have pain on biting, salty taste,
swelling and bad taste and sometimes I have a pink spot.
Previous dental treatment involves filling, scaling veneer but recently I have noticed they are
growing they make me look like Buggs bunny the are on my front two teeth one on the right and the
other one the left I had them for three years now and was very happy with them at the beginning.
and it been about a year, I have noticed that my veneers are growing and getting bigger I had a
trauma when I was 8 years old (to some candidates she said 8 years ago,). I fell on my face and my
two front teeth popped out and they put them back in place. There was no treatment done and
slowly and gradually they started to go darker so they gave me these veneers which were made in
the lab. No RCT done, no pain or sensitivity.
My gums are bleeding it has been like that for a year and a half and is getting worse. my gums are
red and I am not sure if they have shrunk but these veneers are definitely growing.
Brushes twice a day with a manual tooth brush no cleaning aid used.

Coming to your concern regarding your veneers becoming big I have pick up a condition in you gums
which I would like to talk about because the gum condition could be causing you veneers looking
bigger. It is an inflammation of the gums we call it gingivitis luckily it is an initial stage and can be
reversed (take about plaque ect …). These veneers have caused irritation to the gum and the gums
has shrunk and you can see the edge of the veneer and the root of the tooth, that is why your front
teeth are getting bigger as these veneers can’t increase in size they are not a living thing. (Take
about the treatment of gingivitis)
Another thing is the root of these teeth have not developed completely as you mention you had an
injury and popped out and this has caused the tooth to die and that is why it couldn’t complete its
development if you look at the tip of the root it is open it should be closed like the tip of a cone, the
inner part of the tooth that houses the nerve and the vessel is usually soft again because of the
injury it has become hard and solid. I do understand that it is causing you no pain but It may bring
you in pain and infection in future so these teeth need to be treated to save the tooth you need
have a RCT done where I need to refer you to an endodontist who is a specialised in nerve
treatment. he will clean the centre of your tooth place a tooth friend material to try and close the tip
of the root we call this apexification and after that will complete the nerve treatment (give
advantages save natural tooth, disadvantages the success rate is normally 90% but it is considerably
reduced in your case) or extraction and immediate denture.
The tooth that gets infected every now and again has a condition called chronic periapical abscess,
the trauma had an effect in irritating the nerve and that tooth is now dead and this is a source of
infection which has spread along the tooth to the surrounding structure that hold the tooth in place.
The germs there produce toxic product we call this pus a collection of it is called abscess and that is
why you have this bad taste and breath from time to time. I know it is not giving you any pain now
but as you mentioned it has done so many times in the past to stop it you need a RCT or extraction
and immediate denture.
It is very important that the foundation of these teeth which are the root is strong cause we need a
strong structure to build on it so we won’t be able to do anything for the veneers unless we treated
the root of these teeth.
Patient might become upset and tell you they do not want to register with you anymore he came for
a check-up and now you want to extract his teeth tell the patient, I understand that you are worried
and concerned but I have a professional duty towards you. For your own benefit I have to point out
anything wrong and explain to you all the treatment options with the advantage and disadvantages
so you can make up your mind and at the end it is your decision to take the treatment on and we are
here to help.

Present Complaint and History:’ Not happy with my denture’
It is a lower plastic denture that replaces my back teeth on both sides. I had it 8 months ago my
teeth were decayed and had to be removed it is my first. I was very happy with it initially but slowly
and gradually it became loose. The teeth that hold the denture in place are fine nothing wrong with
them and have no fillings.my denture have hooks and they are fine nothing wrong with them either.
My denture was given the same day my teeth wear removed and no alteration or addition of teeth
to them. I rinse my denture after a meal and I don’t put it in a solution, I sleep with it in my mouth
cause if I don’t I and get a head ache. I can’t eat or speak with it makes me conscious. I have an
upper denture which is fine am very happy with it is a metal denture that replaces some of my teeth
I had it since the 70s.yesterday when I was cleaning my denture I dropped it and it broke in two
pieces. I don’t have the broken piece with me I chucked it in the bin.

specialist?
Yes, to endodontist specialist for re-RCT and restorative specialist for composite TSL
These are only highlights of the case you will need to elaborate more on them involving options,
advantages, disadvantages, risks and monitoring.
Regarding your denture that is broken although you mentioned is loose, let me explain why that
denture is loose. This denture has been given to you as a temporary measure to replace your missing
teeth, maintain function and works as a bandage to prevent bleeding and infection to the wound.
after the healing process of your wound is completed your gums and bones shrink and they don’t fit
the same to the denture and that is why the denture was loose. we have to think about
replacement option such as removable denture or implant supported. Taking new sizes that will fit
with that denture so hopefully you will be happy.as we are making a new lower denture and you had
your upper denture for a while I think it’s time to have it changed, those teeth on the denture has
been worn off and some plastic has been added to them to give them some height. this might affect
recording the bite for your lower denture so there will be no use of making a lower new denture
without an upper one. The options are the same as for the lower replacement.
Tooth is formed of three layers an outer protective layer called the enamel and the inner sensitive
layer called the dentine, what the acid does too your tooth it weakens and melts away the strongest
layer in your body exposing the under-lying layer the dentine and that is why you have this
sensitivity. The acid is coming from various sources such as the orange juice or the fruit although
they are healthy they are still acids. Also, you are taking white wine and cider which has the same
effect. You have also mentioned that you are having acid reflex which you are taking gaviscon for it.
the acid from the stomach is very acidic and is making the condition worse. Normally when you have
something acid the saliva corrects any damages that happened but in your case because are taking
too much acid your saliva can’t catch up with the repair process.
Another thing is that you mentioned that you grind your teeth and this is speeding up the process of
losing your tooth structure. When you grind your teeth, your upper teeth rub against the lower and
it grinds away the tooth structure. You mentioned that you are stressed so I would like to refer you
to your GP have a chat with them they have many ways to reduce your stress which will help your
grinding too. Another thing that I would suggest is to take your denture out at night this will also
prevent your grinding habit. I have also noticed a condition under your upper plate the area is red
and sore are you aware of it? this is a condition called denture stomatitis it happens in those who
wear upper dentures and don’t clean them regularly. Not taking you denture out at night is adding
to this problem as your gums are not having any time to breath and relax imagine you sleeping with
your shoes on how would you feel? I know you mentioned that you get headache when you take it
out but let’s start with small steps take it out for some time and slowly increase it until you get to
the stage that you can leave it out for the whole night, for this condition I will give you …….

Present Complaint and History: ’my teeth are loose’’
It’s my 2 front lower teeth they have been loose for the last 6-7 months and getting worse. I did not
have a trauma to the area. My gums don’t bleed and my teeth are not getting longer and I don’t
have any dental treatment on them and they are not causing me any pain but I can’t bite properly if I
ever try it starts moving. I don’t know if they are my baby teeth you can tell me. well those two teeth
are smaller than the rest of my teeth. I don’t have any other small teeth. I do have missing teeth in
my mouth in fact there is a condition that runs in my family called hypodontia.
When asking about mobile teeth follow TMPD, T for trauma, M for milk teeth and missing teeth ask
the patient if she thinks the teeth are smaller, P for periodontal problem and D for dental treatment.
The actor will not tell you if they are baby teeth so ask if patient thinks teeth are smaller than the
rest
Other Complaints and History: ’I have a gap in between my front top teeth’’
The gap has always been there, it’s not increasing in size.no pain or sensitivity or dental treatment
on the teeth next to it. I had braces when I was 17 I am not happy with the treatment they were able
to close the gaps on the back sides but could do anything regarding the front part. I don’t have any
more gaps. The gap between makes me conscious and I don’t like to smile. I wore this plate after
words for a year. No family history and no extra teeth.
Patient say they could close the back gaps but they couldn’t do the front. That means there is no
relapse of orthodontic treatment.

specialist?
Referral to orthodontic specialist and implant specialist not under the scope of my practice.
This case comes in exam as retained upper AS and missing laterals or retained c in both cases the
treatment plan is like the above.
Explain that : you have your baby teeth because of hypodontia which is a condition that runs in
families, it also involve missing the adult teeth. these baby teeth are trying to catch up with the adult
teeth next to it when you bite so it has lost a lot of bone support around it and that is why it is
wobbly. We can monitor these teeth but the looseness will increase and these teeth will need to
come out eventually
Patient will insist on not wearing an immediate denture as it is for old people give the patient the
option of a RBB as a temporary measure and make her aware that after healing the gums will shrink
and a gap will appear so it is a temporary measure.
Regarding the ortho treatment, I will refer you to have braces to close the gap between the front
teeth and make more space to give you a replacement of the missing teeth you have on either side.

specialist?
Yes, will refer to periodontal specialist for comprehensive periodontal treatment, not under the cope
of my practice
This case come at least once every year, COPD patient you should not lie them down it will start an
episode of breathing difficulty. Patient should be treated in an upright position.
The sensitivity that you have is because of your gum have shrunk. This has happened because some
bone has melted away due to the gum problem you had. when the level of bone moves down the
gums moves with it exposing the roots of the tooth which is covered with a thin protective layer
cementum which can be washed away very easily exposing the underlying dentine the sensitive
layer and that’s why you are having sensitivity.
Your gum condition has reached a point where the roots have lost a lot of support around it, I would
recommend referring you to a specialist in gum disease to have further treatment done they can use
artificial bone around the tooth and some surgery to cover the root of your teeth.

Present Complaint and History: ’’I am here for a regular check-up’’
When I spit there is blood and it is disgusting. it is all over my gums started 2 years ago maybe it’s
getting worse, my gums are red and shrank down as my teeth are getting longer and sensitive to
cold. I do have this bad smell and taste in my mouth, I am not sure if there is any pus I had wobbly
teeth in the past but didn’t lose any. now none of my teeth are wobbly. I don’t think we have family
history of gum disease, I am not diabetic.
Other Complaints and History: ‘’I have an ulcer ‘’
I had them for a week now, it’s been on and off for the last 4 years but last year it started come
more often, the only treatment I use is bonjela. First it was only one now there are 2 under my
tongue on the floor of my mouth very small maybe 1mm in diameter. I don’t have any other ulcer
anywhere else on my body, it is causing me discomfort when I eat. they heal within 2 weeks with no
scar. no bleeding or discharge from it and no alteration in sensation. I did not have a trauma and no

 Medical link
o Advise on not stopping or taking medication without GP consent.
o Liaise with GP regarding palpitation

o Apply varnish to 22600 ppm of fluoride

o Local debridement around 41 for drainage pus
o Palliative advice for ulcer, continue use of bonjela , benzydamine mouth wash, salty warm
rinse and avoid spicy and crunchy food
o Stop use of Corsodyl mouth wash

o O.H.I, supra and subgingival scaling, RSD , 6 point pocket chart , refer to periodontal
specialist for comprehensive periodontal treatment
o Review ulcer after a week if it does not heal refer for biopsy
o Refer to GP for blood glucose test, full blood count and prescription of supplement

o Review ulcer, periodontal condition, stress and restorative work
Local debridement to drain pus and prevent flare of pain
Periodontal treatment to improve gingival health
Blood test to exclude any underlying condition of ulcer or gum disease
Long treatment requires patient compliance therefor treatment results of periodontal treatment is
unreliable, whiting can leave patient with sensitivity
your reasons)
I will do part of the treatment, immediate management, scaling polishing, O.H.I, review ulcer and
local measures, referral and whiting
Under the scope of my practice
specialist?
To restorative specialist for comprehensive periodontal treatment patient is a complexity 3
To oral maxillofacial if no healing of ulcer for biopsy and management

9- Body temperature and lymph node To exclude systemic involvement
palpation

All teeth are vital except LR6
LR6 has grade 2 furcation involvement
LR6 has caries around the margin
LR6 shows periapical radiolucency and slight root resorption
artefact, do not involve it in treatment plan.

Side: left side
Bone level: mild horizontal bone resorption
Teeth: 24,25,26,27,34,35,36,37,38
Restoration: DO on 24, MO on 25, occlusal on 27 and crown on 26
crown with post and core with RCT on 35,
Crown with pin on 36
Caries: none
Others: none
Film quality: 2 interproximal over lapping
 Medical link
o Take medication as prescribed by GP,
o Be vigilant possible medical emergency

o Cut lower bridge leaving unit on LR4, remove rest of the bridge, extirpate the pulp and place
temporary crown
o Impression of LL6 for temporary crown, crown removal, removal of decay and
temporary crown and filling
o Paracetamol 500mg tablet, 1g every 6 hours or 5 days

o O.H.I, supra and subgingival scaling, RSD and referral to periodontal specialist for
comprehensive dental treatment
o LR6 /either RCT and monitor or extraction and give option of replacement
o Review UL6 new PFM crown or FGC
o Removal of decay on LL6 and temporary filling then give option of composite or amalgam
o Referral to periodontal specialist for comprehensive dental treatment
o Extraction of LR6
o Refer for implant supported bridge after healing
o New PFM on UL6
o Composite restoration on LL6

o Reinforce O.H.I
o Review gingival health, pain and restorative work
Pulp extirpation to relief from pain
Removal of decay stop progress of decay
Periodontal treatment improves gingival health
Implant supported bridge patient is epileptic preferred fixed option to prevent injury during fit
New PFM better aesthetic and protection of tooth
Composite aesthetically good
Extraction tooth of poor prognosis
Long treatment, expensive, multiple appointment, require referral, implant involve surgery, perio
treatment require patient compliance, loss of natural tooth, composite under goes polymerization
shrinkage
your reasons)
I will do all immediate, removal of decay, perio treatment, extraction, follow up and referral. All this
treatment is under the scope of my practice
specialist?
Refer to periodontal specialist for comprehensive periodontal treatment
Referral to implant specialist for implant supported bridge
Require further skills and experience not under the scope of my practice
If patient had a mobility of grade 1 we will only do scaling and polishing without sectioning or
changing the bridge.
Better to avoid replacement with removable option and warn patient regarding possible injury
during fit
Implant can be given after wedding and healing is over.
Explain to the patient about localized periodontitis and furcation involvement of abutment tooth
and prognosis is very low.
