What is Dentistry Dentistry is a health science consisting of the study, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases, disorders and conditions of the oral cavity Including: Dentition (teeth) Gingiva (gums) and oral mucosa Bone
Applying to Dentistry at Dalhousie Up to 40 students accepted Academic Requirements 60 university credit hours with specific prerequisite courses (biology, chemistry, physics, microbiology, physiology, organic chemistry, writing course) Non-academic Requirements DAT (Dental Aptitude Test) Health Requirements TB testing, immunization, CPR training

TOOTH ANATOMY Enamel Dentin Tooth layers Pulp
Dental Caries Cavities or tooth decay Breakdown of tooth structure (enamel and dentin) caused by the acids produced by bacteria 2 requirements for cavity formation: 1. Bacteria 2. Plaque food source for bacteria

Periodontal Disease
Tooth Loss Causes Tooth decay Periodontal disease Cracked/fractured tooth Consequenses Decreased chewing function Shifting/tilting of adjacent teeth Posterior Bite Collapse Excessive or uneven wear of adjacent teeth

ATLS PRIMARY SURVEY Airway and C-spine control Breathing and adequate ventilation Circulation Degree of consciousness Exposure
SECONDARY ASSESSMENT Need to reeval vital signs throughout. If at any time there is a significant change in status go back to primary survey. Head to toe IPPA (inpection, palpation, percussion, auscultation)
Mandible fractures
Etiology of Mandibular Fractures 43% due to MVC 34% due to assaults 7% are work related 7% due to fall 4% due to sporting accidents.
Coronoid process Condylar process Angle Ramus Body Parasymphyseal
Location of Mandibular Fractures
Facial fractures associated with mandibular fractures Mandible is the only bone fractured in 70% of patients. Number of fractures per mandible: approximately 50% have more then one fracture. 53% one 37% two 9% three.
Pattern of fracture 1. Simple or Closed: no wound open to external environment. 2. Compound or Open: open to external environment. 3. Comminuted: bone splintered or crushed. 4. Greenstick: one cortex of the bone is broken, the other bent. 5. Pathologic: from mild injury because of preexisting bone disease.
Indications for Closed Reduction NOT ALL THAT COMMON 1. Nondisplaced favorable fractures 2. Grossly Comminuted Fractures 3. Coronoid process fractures
Length of Fixation In general for uncomplicated fractures: Children: IMF 2 to 3 weeks Adults: IMF 3 to 4 weeks Older patients: IMF 6 to 8 weeks.
Indications for Open Reduction MOST COMMON 1. Displaced unfavorable angle fractures 2. Displaced unfavorable body or parasymphyseal fractures 3. Multiple fractures of the facial bones 4. Midface fractures and displaced bilateral condylar fractures 5. Fractures of an edentulous mandible with severe displacement of the fractured fragments 6. Edentulous maxilla opposing a mandibular fracture 7. Delay of treatment and interposition of noncontacting displaced fracture fragments soft tissue between 8. Malunion 9. Special systemic conditions contraindicating IMF Seizure psychiatric or neurologic disorder Compromised pulmonary functions Gastrointestinal disorder
Fixation Rigid Non Rigid Load Bearing Load Sharing
Fixation Rigid Non Rigid Load Bearing Load Sharing
NonRigid Internal Fixation Examples Functionally stable fixation Single miniplate technique of treating mandibular angle or body fractures = The Champy Method
The Champy Method: Single, noncompression miniplate attached with 2.0 mm monocortical screws. Because this plate is placed in the most biomechanically advantageous area for this region (superior border), a small plate can neutralize the functional forces and permit active use of the mandible during the healing.
Fixation Rigid Non Rigid Load Bearing Load Sharing
Load-Bearing Fixation RIGID FIXATION Load-Bearing Sufficient strength and rigidity that it can bear the entire load applied to the mandible during functional activities.
RIGID Load-Bearing Fixation Mandibular reconstruction bone plate Required in: Comminuted fractures of the mandible Fractures where there is very little bony interface because of atrophy Injuries that have resulted in a loss of a portion of the mandible (defect fractures)
Atrophic mandibular fracture In the atrophic mandible a stronger bone plate should be applied below the inferior alveolar canal.
Fixation Rigid Non Rigid Load Bearing Load Sharing
RIGID Fixation Load-Sharing Fixation Internal fixation that is of insufficient stability to bear all of the functional loads applied across the fracture by the masticatory system.

Study Design A retrospective study was carried out on all patients who underwent open treatment (ORIF) of their condylar fractures at our center Atlantic Centre for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Halifax, Nova Scotia Study Period: September 2015 and February 2018 Type of fracture, surgical approach used, facial nerve weakness and the number of plates used for fixation were all recorded. All fractures were grouped based on the AO classification of condylar fractures.
