Endodontics

Periapical surgery (also called apicoectomy or endodontic surgery) involves surgical intervention at the root apex and surrounding periapical tissues. Like any surgical procedure, it carries potential complications:

Paraesthesia → Injury or irritation of nearby nerves (e.g., inferior alveolar or mental nerve) can cause temporary or permanent altered sensation.

Ecchymoses → Bruising of soft tissues due to surgical trauma or bleeding in the operative area.

Stitch abscess → Localized infection at the suture site due to bacterial contamination or improper healing.

Since all of these can occur, the best choice is “All of the above.”

Aspirin is contraindicated in conditions like gouty arthritis and anti-neoplastic therapy due to its effects on uric acid levels and platelet function, respectively. It should also be used with caution or avoided in some cases of diabetes mellitus due to potential effects on blood sugar and risk of Reye's syndrome in children/adolescents. Penicillin therapy is an antibiotic treatment and does not have a direct contraindication with aspirin use.

According to Melcher's concept, the regeneration of new attachment is from the periodontal ligament.

Oral Pathology

Myositis ossificans would NOT cause pathologic fractures of maxilla or mandible because it involves ossification within muscle tissue, not weakening of existing bone structure. Bone cysts, multiple myeloma, and giant cell tumor all cause bone destruction and weakening, predisposing to pathologic fractures. Myositis ossificans actually adds calcified tissue rather than destroying bone.

ETEC, EIEC, and EAEC are all types of E. coli that can cause diarrheal disease through various mechanisms. EPEC is typically associated with gastrointestinal illness, particularly in children, but does not typically cause the severe forms of diarrhea seen with ETEC or EHEC.

Explanation: According to the WHO classification of dental injuries, pulp exposures due to crown fractures are classified under 873.62. This classification helps in standardizing the terminology used in dental trauma, allowing for better communication and understanding among dental professionals.


873.60 - Pulp Exposure due to Trauma

This code refers to cases where the pulp is exposed as a result of trauma to the tooth. It does not specify whether the pulp is vital or non-vital, but it indicates that there is a direct exposure of the pulp tissue.


873.61 - Avulsion of Tooth

This code is used for cases where a tooth has been completely displaced from its socket (avulsed). In avulsion cases, the pulp is typically exposed, and immediate re-implantation is critical for the best prognosis. This classification highlights the severity of the injury and the need for urgent treatment.
873.62 - Crown Fracture with Pulp Involvement

This code refers to fractures of the crown of the tooth that involve the pulp. It indicates that the fracture has extended into the pulp chamber, necessitating treatment such as root canal therapy.

873.63 - Crown Fracture without Pulp Involvement

This code is used for crown fractures that do not involve the pulp. In these cases, the injury is limited to the enamel and dentin, and the pulp remains intact.

The nerve that supplies both the upper and lower jaws is the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V).

Specifically, the maxillary division (V2) supplies the upper jaw and the mandibular division (V3) supplies the lower jaw.

The sphenopalatine, submandibular, and otic ganglia are all topographically associated with branches of the trigeminal nerve, as their parasympathetic secretomotor fibers "hitchhike" along these sensory nerves to reach their target glands.

The ciliary ganglion, however, is associated with the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) and supplies structures within the orbit (pupillary constrictor and ciliary muscles), not the jaw regions.

Therefore, it is not topographically associated with the nerve that supplies both the upper and lower jaws

The supraorbital artery is a branch of the ophthalmic artery, not the maxillary artery. The others are branches of the third (pterygopalatine) part of the maxillary artery. [Image of the maxillary artery branches]

Fluoride-based fluxes are highly effective in dissolving and removing the stable, passivating oxide layers (e.g., aluminum oxide) that form on metal surfaces during processes like soldering or brazing.
