Had an emergency patient last night @8.45pm, she claimed she had a toothache which started in the upper molar area on the right side and extended to lower molars on the same side. She said she has been taking Advil every 6 hours for the last few days. She claimed she had her teeth cleaned at another office 4 months ago. <br />
<div class="text_exposed_show">
I took her particulars, reviewed her medical and did a periodontal exam, her gums in that region were so swollen and red, her pocket depths were generalised 4mm, localised 5-7mm in the posterior region, oral hygiene was fair. I completed her cleaning with hand and ultrasonic scalers AND gave her specific instructions for homecare which included regular flossing and brushing, followed by a mouthwash and frequent salt water rinses until the swelling goes down. She just called me saying how happy she is because she just ate her 1st good meal in a week, her pain is gone and her gums are not so tender any more. She will come to see me in 2 weeks for a follow up. I had suggested Periowave Laser Therapy in that area, she will decided at that time if she wants to go ahead with that option.<br />
ANOTHER HAPPY CAMPER, ALWAYS VERY GRATIFYING WHEN YOU RECIEVE THANK YOU CALLS FROM YOUR PATIENTS, ESPECIALLY IN A CASE LIKE THIS, WHERE THE PAIN GOES AWAY.<br />

Approximately 40,000 people will be diagnosed with oral cancer every year in the US. It kills one person every hour of every day, and over 100 new individuals will be diagnosed with it each day. The good news is that it can often be found early in its development, through a simple, painless, and quick screening. </span><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-bidi-font-size: 14.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

Oral cancer can often be caught early, even as a pre-cancer. With early detection, survival rates are high and the side effects are from treatment are at their lowest. Like other screenings you engage in such as cervical, skin, prostate, colon and breast examinations, oral cancer screenings are an effective means of finding cancer at its early, highly curable stages. Make them part of your annual health check-ups. <o:p></o:p></span></div><span style="font-family: "Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />

One is through the use of tobacco and alcohol, a long term historic problem and cause, and the other is through exposure to the HPV16 virus (human papilloma virus version 16), which is now the leading cause of oral cancers in the US, and the same one, which is responsible for the vast majority of cervical cancers in women. The quickest growing segment of the oral cancer population are young, healthy, non-smokers due to the connection to this virus. <o:p></o:p></span></div><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">Unlike earlier methods which involved drilling and setting the Jewel into the tooth, a little bit of dental composite material attaches the crystal onto the teeth (similar to braces) and can last up to a year or longer.</div><ul style="text-align: justify;" type="disc"><li>It’s temporary</li>

He was febrile and anemic and had generalized lymphadenopathy and hepatomegaly. Oral examination revealed painful, bilateral extraoral herpetiform lesions adjacent to the vermilion border of the lower lip (<strong>Fig. 1</strong>). These lesions appeared as clusters of encrusted vesicles. Intraoral ulcerations, suggestive of herpes simplex infection were present on the marginal and interdental gingiva on the buccal and palatal aspects of all teeth as well as on the lateral borders of the tongue (<strong>Figs. 2 </strong>and<strong> 3</strong>). These deep, “punched-out” ulcerations were covered with curdy, milky-white patches suggestive of oral candidiasis. The colour of the gingiva varied from pale to purplish red; loss of normal contour and stippling of gingiva and purple bruising were observed on the posterolateral aspect of the palate (<strong>Fig. 2</strong>). Candidiasis was also noticed on the posterior third of the tongue (<strong>Fig. 3</strong>). The pericoronal gingivae on the erupting mandibular left and right second molars were inflamed and covered with oral thrush (<strong>Fig. 4</strong>). There were generalized stains and calculus.<br />

<strong><em>States of Immunodeficiency</em></strong><br />
Defects in the functioning of the immune system are characterized by increased susceptibility to frequent, severe and recurrent infections of the respiratory tract, skin and mucous membrane. These are classified by type of cell affected, i.e., defects of B-lymphocytes, T-lymphocytes, phagocytic cells or a complement cascade. Infections with major gram-positive organisms occur frequently in B-cell immunodeficiencies, whereas severe viral and fungal infections occur in T-cell immunodeficiencies.<br />
Acquired immunodeficiencies are the result of extrinsic causes, such as malnutrition, aging and medications, e.g., cancer chemotherapy, steroids and immunosuppressive drugs used by organ transplant recipients and in auto-immune disease. Chronic infections, such as AIDS caused by HIV, also impair the functioning of the immune system. HIV destroys CD4 helper/inducer T cells and affects both humoral and cell-mediated immunity making the patient highly susceptible to opportunistic infections. Manifestations of overall progression of the disease are more common in children because of their immature immune system. A prolonged history of fever, chronic recurrent diarrhea, oral hairy leukoplakia and Kaposi’s sarcoma may be some of the differentiating factors. CD4+ T-lymphocyte values should be obtained if a child has a positive virologic test for HIV.<br />
<strong><em>Hematologic Malignancies</em></strong><br />
This group of immunocompromised states may result from an underlying hematologic malignancy or the use of chemotherapeutic drugs. Myeloid leukemias are characterized by infiltration of blood, bone marrow and other tissues by neoplastic cells of granulocytic series; in lymphoblastic leukemias, the bone marrow is replaced with small, immature lymphoblasts. The diagnosis is established by bone marrow aspiration and cytology, immunophenotyping, immunohistochemistry, molecular analysis and cytogenetic analysis. Lymphomas are usually diagnosed after microscopic examination of lymph node biopsies, immunohistochemistry and the absence of peripheral blood involvement. <br />
<strong><em>Viral Infection</em></strong><br />
Infectious mononucleosis, caused by Epstein-Barr virus, is characterized by fever, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly and abnormal blood lymphocytes. It can be differentiated from acute leukemia by the distinctive morphology of reactive lymphocytes and lymphoblasts and elevated viral titers. Moreover, in viral disease, lymph nodes, liver and spleen are often soft and ill-defined, whereas in acute leukemia, they are firm and discrete.<br />
<em><strong>Immunosuppressive Therapy</strong></em><br />
Immunosuppressive drugs include glucocorticoids and cancer chemotherapeutic agents; these produce deficiencies in the host defense system and make a child more prone to infections by opportunistic organisms.<br />
<strong><em>Genetic Causes</em></strong><br />
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) is an inherited disorder of the immune system that affects only males and is characterized by recurring severe opportunistic infections, eczema and thrombocytopenia. The diagnosis is confirmed by demonstrating a decrease or absence of the WAS protein in blood cells or the presence of a mutation in the gene that codes the WAS protein. Moreover, WAS platelets are significantly smaller than normal platelets.<br />
<em><strong>Systemic Conditions</strong></em><br />
Aplastic anemia is a rare blood dyscrasia, in which peripheral blood pancytopenia results from reduced or absent blood-cell production in the bone marrow, and normal hematopoietic tissue in the bone marrow is replaced by fatty marrow. Sepsis and hemorrhage are the main causes of death in these patients as a result of neutropenia and thrombocytopenia, respectively. The lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly and skeletal changes associated with leukemia are not seen. Bone marrow aspiration or biopsy confirms the diagnosis.<br />
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a multi-organ system autoimmune disease characterized by widespread vasculitis and the presence of various auto-antibodies. Fever, joint symptoms, mild anemia and oral ulcers are usually present in active disease. Children with lupus frequently have lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. Non-erosive, symmetric and polyarticular arthritis, typical erythematous “butterfly” rash over the malar area and discoid rash with a history of photosensitivity over the face and chest are pathognomonic. Prominent laboratory findings include lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, low serum complement levels, a high-titered positive antinuclear antibody test and abnormal urinary sediment.<br />
Cyclic neutropenia, an autoimmune disease, is characterized by cyclic fluctuations in neutrophil count. The cycle averages 21 days (14–36 days) with severe neutropenia (neutrophil count < 0.2 × 10<sup>9</sup>/L) lasting 3–10 days. During the period of neutropenia, bone marrow aspirate shows signs of maturation arrest at the myelocytic stage. Cyclic neutropenia is associated with fever, recurrent oral ulcerations, pharyngitis, cervical lymphadenopathy and skin lesions. Intraoral features include severe recurrent gingivitis, loss of periodontal attachment, deep periodontal pocket formation and marked alveolar bone loss, often causing loss of teeth.<br />
<h3>Diagnosis of Patient</h3>The patient’s history and clinical examination suggested a hematologic malignancy, and this diagnosis was further corroborated by results of a peripheral blood smear. The hemogram revealed hemoglobin level of 87 g/L, platelet count of 48 × 10<sup>9</sup>/L, elevated total leukocytic count (210.5 × 10<sup>9</sup>/L) and an increase in the number of myeloblasts (98% of the total leukocyte count) with a concomitant decrease in the lymphocyte count (2% of the leukocyte count). The peripheral blood smear revealed severe neutropenia (absolute neutrophil count [ANC], 0 × 10<sup>9</sup>/L). Bone marrow biopsy and immunophenotyping confirmed the diagnosis of minimally differentiated acute myeloid leukemia.<br />
Early bone marrow transplantation is the treatment of choice for acute myeloid leukemias. The patient has been undergoing chemotherapy at a nearby hematology centre and is currently in the consolidation phase. He is awaiting bone marrow transplant.<br />
Leukemia is accompanied by febrile neutropenia, which is defined as the presence of fever (≥ 38.3°C) and a low neutrophil count. Neutropenia is classified as mild (ANC 1.0–1.5 × 10<sup>9</sup>/L), moderate (ANC 0.5–1.0 × 10<sup>9</sup>/L) or severe (ANC < 0.5 × 10<sup>9</sup>/L). Severe neutropenia increases susceptibility to bacterial or fungal infections and impairs resolution of these infections. Leukemia also brings about defects in cell-mediated immunity that may increase the possibility of infection by an inherently present latent virus, such as herpes simplex virus (HSV), which manifests on the oral and circumoral mucosal surfaces. Confirmation of both herpetic gingivostomatitis and candidiasis by appropriate laboratory means is mandatory, even when prior empirical treatment is being contemplated.<br />
Systemic antifungal therapy is indicated for patients who are at high risk of candidemia or are relatively resistant to topical antifungal agents. Nystatin in the form of a mouthwash or suspension or clotrimazole troche can be recommended for the treatment of oral candidiasis. If oral candidiasis is accompanied by an immunocompromised state, fluconazole or caspofungin is effective. The prophylactic use of the antiviral drug acyclovir is known to reduce the incidence of oral infections caused by HSV in patients with acute myeloid leukemia. Patients afflicted with hematologic malignancies are at a high risk of developing life-threatening septicemia due to odontogenic bacteria. Dental extractions and any other oral surgical procedures should be performed at least 3 weeks before the start of cancer chemotherapy. An ANC greater than 1.0 × 10<sup>9</sup>/L and a platelet count of at least 60 × 10<sup>9</sup>/L are acceptable for performing oral surgery.<br />
This case demonstrates the importance for dental practitioners of recognizing mucocutaneous manifestations of systemic diseases. The oral cavity is an important portal of entry for microorganisms, which, in immunosuppressed patients, can lead to a systemic involvement accompanied by life-threatening complications. If such lesions are undetected and untreated, they often lead to a fulminant infection causing death. Dental prophylaxis and treatment of caries and gingivitis are necessary to eliminate the oral source of infection.surrey dental hygiene clinichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07951347099767910971noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6082760891907613034.post-1457122374432963812011-06-24T08:46:00.000-07:002011-06-24T08:46:39.759-07:00Mono News LifeStyle News Wire<strong>Surrey’s First Dental Hygiene Clinic Tackles Oral Health in B.C.<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At your dental visit the dentist or hygienist should:</span><br />
<ul><li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ask about your medical history to identify underlying conditions or risk factors (such as smoking) that may contribute to gum disease. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Examine your gums and note any signs of inflammation. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Use a tiny ruler called a 'probe' to check for and measure any pockets. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In a healthy mouth, the depth of these pockets is usually between 1 and 3 millimeters.

In fact, periodontal disease is often considered the sixth complication of diabetes. Those people who don't have their diabetes under control are especially at risk.<br />
A study in the <i>Journal of Periodontology</i> found that poorly controlled <nobr>type 2</nobr> diabetic patients are more likely to develop periodontal disease than well-controlled diabetics are. <br />
Research has emerged that suggests that the relationship between periodontal disease and diabetes goes both ways - periodontal disease may make it more difficult for people who have diabetes to control their blood sugar. <br />
Severe periodontal disease can increase blood sugar, contributing to increased periods of time when the body functions with a high blood sugar. This puts diabetics at increased risk for diabetic complications. Thus, diabetics who have periodontal disease should be treated to eliminate the periodontal infection. <br />
This recommendation is supported by a study reported in the <i>Journal of Periodontology</i> in 1997 involving 113 Pima Indians with both diabetes and periodontal disease. The study found that when their periodontal infections were treated, the management of their diabetes markedly improved. <br />

<tr><td class="mainbody" rowspan="2" valign="top"><h3>Smoking and Nicotine</h3>Smoking is the single major preventable risk factor for periodontal disease. The habit can cause bone loss and gum recession even in the absence of periodontal disease. A number of studies indicate that smoking and nicotine increase inflammation by reducing oxygen in gum tissue and triggering an over-production of immune factors called cytokines (specifically ones called interleukins), which in excess are harmful to cells and tissue.<br />
Furthermore, when nicotine combines with oral bacteria, such as <em>P. gingivalis</em>, the effect produces even greater levels of cytokines and eventually leads to periodontal connective tissue breakdown. Studies suggest that smokers are 11 times more likely than nonsmokers to harbor the bacteria that cause periodontal disease and four times more likely to have advanced periodontal disease. In one study more than 40% of smokers lost their teeth by the end of their lives.<br />

<strong>Periowave™ is a painless, non-invasive procedure that can significantly improve treatment outcomes when added to scaling and root planing (SRP). Using a powerful process known as photodisinfection, it inactivates many of the bacteria and toxins that SRP leaves behind.</strong><br />
Periowave™ is a non-antibiotic therapy that, unlike antibiotics, quickly destroys gram negative bacteria without promoting the development of bacterial resistance. Periowave™ does not exhibit many of the issues commonly associated with antibiotics, such as allergic or sensitivity reactions, opportunistic infections such as oral yeast infections, or the requirement to take prolonged doses of medication. As Periowave™ utilizes a cold (non-thermal), low-power diode laser as the activating light, it does not cause damage to root surfaces or surrounding tissues.
