About This Presentation

Description : Check out this medical PowerPoint presentation titled "Protecting All Children’s Teeth - Common Oral Pathology”.

This medical PowerPoint presentation is about common oral pathologies that can affect children.

There are several common oral pathologies that can affect children, including:

Dental Caries: Also known as cavities, dental caries are the most common oral pathology in children. They are caused by bacteria that produce acid, which erodes the tooth enamel and forms a hole in the tooth.
Gingivitis: Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums caused by bacterial plaque. Symptoms include redness, swelling, and bleeding of the gums. Good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups can help prevent gingivitis.
Thrush: Thrush is a fungal infection that can occur in the mouth. It appears as white patches on the tongue and inside of the cheeks. It is more common in infants and can be treated with antifungal medication.
Herpetic Gingivostomatitis: This is a viral infection that causes painful blisters and sores in the mouth, gums, and throat. It is caused by the herpes simplex virus and is common in children.
Enamel Hypoplasia: Enamel hypoplasia is a defect in the tooth enamel that results in a yellowish or brownish coloration of the teeth. It can be caused by malnutrition, high fever, or certain medications.
Eruption Cysts: These are small, fluid-filled sacs that can form around an erupting tooth. They are usually harmless and go away on their own, but in some cases, they may need to be drained.
Ankyloglossia: Ankyloglossia, also known as tongue tie, is a condition where the frenulum, the band of tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth, is too short. This can affect speech and feeding in infants.

Its important for parents to monitor their childs oral health and take them to regular dental check-ups to prevent and treat these common oral pathologies.

Slide 2-

Introduction Mouth pain is a common presenting complaint in the primary care office. It is imperative that pediatric health care professionals feel comfortable in the proper diagnosis, management, and triage of common oral pathology. www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact 2
Slide 3-

3 Learner Objectives Upon completion of this presentation, participants will be able to: Recall the common causes, bacterial flora, management, and possible sequelae of dental abscesses. Describe the common clinical signs, symptoms, and management options of Temperomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. Define and discuss the term referred pain as it relates to the mouth. Discuss the clinical presentation, causative agents, diagnosis, and management of primary gingivostomatitis, herpangina, hand-foot-mouth disease, and thrush. List the 2 common conditions that cause "strawberry tongue.”
Slide 4-

4 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Abscess A dental abscess is a collection of purulent fluid caused by a bacterial infection. The most common cause of a dental abscess is extension of the dental caries process into the pulp of the tooth. Used with permission from Miller Medical Illustration & Design
Slide 5-

5 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Abscess, continued Abscesses can also be caused by trauma to the tooth that allows bacteria to enter the pulp. An abscess limited to the tooth structure (pulpitis) will often present with tooth pain from the increased pressure on the nerve endings within the pulp. This pain is often worsened with heat or cold exposure. Used with permission from Melinda B. Clark, MD; Associate Professor of Pediatrics at Albany Medical Center
Slide 6-

6 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Abscess Progression If the infection in the pulp extends beyond the tooth, a periapical abscess will develop. The pressure caused by the expanding area of necrosis and inflammation causes visible swelling and may lead to slight extrusion of the tooth from the socket (as shown in the x-ray to the left). Used with permission from Noel Childers, DDS, MS, PhD; Department of Pediatric Dentistry, University of Alabama at Birmingham
Slide 7-

7 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Abscess Progression, continued As the abscess expands, the pus will spread to contiguous surfaces along the path of least resistance to form a fistula to the maxillary, mandibular, or palatal mucosa. Used with permission from Noel Childers, DDS, MS, PhD; Department of Pediatric Dentistry, University of Alabama at Birmingham
Slide 8-

8 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Cellulitis If the infection remains unchecked, an abscess can progress to facial, submandibular, or sublingual cellulitis. Facial cellulitis presents clinically with swelling, warmth, and tenderness to palpation along the jaw. A child with facial cellulitis should be referred for immediate ER evaluation or admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics. Used with permission from Noel Childers, DDS, MS, PhD; Department of Pediatric Dentistry, University of Alabama at Birmingham
Slide 9-

9 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Symptoms of an Abscess Patients with abscess may present with the following symptoms: Headache Fever Periorbital edema or pain Cranial nerve abnormalities. This infection can be life-threatening and must be addressed emergently.
Slide 10-

10 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Abscess Treatment First-line empiric antibiotic therapy for dental abscesses is penicillin or amoxicillin and clindamycin for penicillin-allergic patients. Suspicion of a dental abscess requires urgent referral to a dentist for definitive care.
Slide 11-

11 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Abscess Treatment, continued Efforts must be made to locate the site of infection, incise and drain the pus collection, and collect a specimen for culture and sensitivities. An abscessed tooth often must be extracted. Antibiotic therapy is also required, especially in cases of contiguous spread of the infection.
Slide 12-

12 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Temporomandibular Joint Disorders The temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the area directly in front of the ear on either side of the head where the upper jaw (maxilla) and lower jaw (mandible) meet. Temporomandibular joint disorders include a range of problems related to this joint.
Slide 13-

13 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Signs of TMJ Signs of TMJ disorders include: Bruxism Wear of the occlusal surfaces of the teeth due to tooth grinding Joint sounds (clicking and crepitus) Limited mandibular opening Pain, including TMJ pain or headache, may occur but is not always present.
Slide 14-

14 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact TMJ Treatment Referral to a dentist or other professional knowledgeable in treating TMJ disorders is appropriate. Treatment is usually initiated when pain is present. Options include: Non steroidal anti-inflammatory medication Soft diet Warm compresses Occlusal bite guards Counseling Physical therapy
Slide 15-

15 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Referred Pain Referred pain is felt in an area innervated by a nerve different from that which innervates the primary site of pain. Dental pain can refer to other teeth, the head, ear, eye, periorbital region, or jaw.
Slide 16-

16 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Referred Pain, continued The following non-oral conditions can cause pain felt in the teeth or mouth: Acute maxillary bacterial sinusitis or acute otitis media Temporomandibular Joint Atypical facial pain Trigeminal neuralgia Migraine headaches Psychogenic Neoplasia, such as leukemia
Slide 17-

17 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Primary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis Primary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis is caused primarily by herpes simplex virus type 1. The primary infection is most severe and usually seen in children younger than 6. Used with permission from Rama Oskouian
Slide 18-

18 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Primary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis The clinical syndrome of HSV gingivostomatitis lasts 10-14 days. Diagnosis is usually based on clinical history and exam findings. Clinical presentation includes: Fever and malaise (precede the anorexia, oral findings, and cervical lymphadenopathy) Significant lip and gum swelling, erythema, and bleeding Vesicles on the lips, tongue, and cheeks, which then ulcerate
Slide 19-

19 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Treatment for Primary Herpetic Gingivostomatitis Treatment is mainly supportive with hydration maintenance and pain control. The acyclovir family of antiviral medications may be used for immunosuppressed patients. The infection is life-long, and recurrences occur as “cold sores” (herpes labialis), usually at times of stress or infection. Used with permission from Rama Oskouian Herpes Labialis
Slide 20-

20 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Coxsackie Viral Infections Coxsackie viral infections include Herpangina and Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease. Fever, malaise, sore throat, and anorexia precede appearance of the vesicles. Cervical lymphadenopathy is also present. Symptoms last 7-10 days. Treatment is supportive care. Herpangina Used with permission from the AAP Red Book
Slide 21-

21 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Oral Candidiasis White plaques or pseudomembranes are noted on the surface of the tongue and/or the buccal, labial, and gingival mucosa. Removal of the plaques shows underlying raw, red, bleeding mucosa. Oral surfaces may become painful, which can interfere with feeding. Oral Candidiasis is common in infants, but triggers for all age groups include systemic antibiotic use, inhaled steroids, diabetes, xerostomia, and poor oral hygiene. Used with permission from Noel Childers, DDS, MS, PhD; Department of Pediatric Dentistry, University of Alabama at Birmingham
Slide 22-

22 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Oral Candidiasis, continued Oral Candidiasis can be treated with topical antifungal agents, such as Nystatin or Clotrimazole. If symptoms persist or recur shortly after discontinuation of the antifungal agent, consider re- infection from bottles, pacifiers, or breastfeeding (with maternal breast colonization) or resistance to antifungal medication.

23 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Strawberry Tongue Strawberry Tongue refers to an inflamed tongue. It presents as either a diffusely erythematous tongue with prominent fungiform papillae or a tongue covered by a white membrane except for the fungiform papillae that appear red. Used with permission from the AAP Red Book
Slide 24-

24 www.aap.org/oralhealth/pact Strawberry Tongue, continued Strawberry Tongue is associated with Group A Beta Hemolytic Strep and Kawasaki syndrome. Group A Beta Hemolytic Strep causes erythematous and enlarged tonsils with white exudates, anterior cervical lymphadenopathy, and fever. Clinical presentation of Kawasaki syndrome is 5 days of fever associated with other clinical criteria, including oral mucosal findings such as a strawberry tongue.
