Character of complication
| Causes of development
| Prevention and the way of elimination
|
1. Aspiration or swallowing of small dental instruments.
| Bad fixation of instruments in the dental tip.
| Urgent hospitalization of the patient (department of thoracic surgery) and administration of appropriate specialized treatment, supervision of the patient with roentgenological examination.
|
2. Trauma of the oral cavity mucosa
| - inadequate fixation of instruments in the dental tip;
- dentist's malpractice
| Small traumatic injuries are treated as usual. At traumas of large vessels we require urgent hospitalization and specialized treatment, the wound is previously swabbed.
|
3. Perforation of walls of the carious cavity
| - dentist's malpractice during work;
- thin walls and floor of the cavity;
- careless work with the turbine engine ;
- wrong choice of size and shape of burs;
- bad knowledge of the dental cavity topography, peculiarities of the temporary and permanent teeth anatomy in children.
| - maximum attention of the doctor during work;
- adequate disclosure of the carious cavity and careful removal of softened dentine with an appropriate excavator or spherical bur;
- in case of perforation of the wall of the carious cavity after arresting bleeding and drying the cavity
- Cavity drying, we should eliminate the sealing material;
- in case of pulpal injury we treat the traumatic pulpitis.
|
4. Affected crowns of the adjacent teeth.
| - dentist's during work;
- mistakes at teeth preparation.
| - isolation of the adjacent teeth with a matrix;
- according to the degree of affection the defect is sealed, smoothed with the paper disks and polishers with the further processing by fluoride-containing materials.
|
5. Disordered composite sealing hardening.
| - application of photo polymerization equipment with low light intensity;
- application of healing layer with phenol-, iodiform- and eugenol- containing pastes without further covering with isolating layer;
- application of materials which are out of use terms.
| - checking the polymerization equipment light intensity ;
- changing the healing layer;
- isolation of the layer from the sealing material with a cement or water artificial dentine;
- - not using the sealing materials which are out of use date.
|
6. Decreased adhesion of the sealing material for the tooth.
| - mistakes at sealing;
- mistakes at application of the adhesive systems;
- extra saliva and liquid;
- at sealing of the carious cavity with composite materials- using the equipment with oil compressor- contact of oil with the carious cavity, with air, through the turbine tip;
- tooth overdrying;
- absence of isolating layer between the paste and sealing material;
- application of a very thick layer of a paste.
| - keeping to instructions of application of sealing materials and adhesive systems;
- waiting for the required time period to stain the dental tissues;
- application of isolating layer;
- repeated correct sealing;
- at sealing with composites- work with compressors without oil
|
7.Change of the sealing color.
| - mistakes at preparation of the sealing material;
- staining the sealing with dyes in food;
- inadequate individual oral hygiene;
- insufficient sealing processing;
| - sealing change
- polishing the composite sealings with the diamond heads, polishers and paper disks;
- keeping from eating food with dyes ( berries, coffee, tea)- at administration of composite materials of the first generations;
- keeping to personal oral hygiene rules; professional dental brushing twice a year.
|
8. Split of a sealing part.
| - mistakes at formation of the carious cavity;
- mistakes at making sealing material and sealing itself;
- wrong choice of sealing material.
- application of amalgam with a phase γ-2;
- bad condensation of layers of sealing material (amalgams, composites).
| - we should keep to the instructions of preparation and indications for usage of the sealing material;
- at formation of the cavity we shouldn't make thin junctions;
- application of amalgam without a phase γ-2.
|
9.Split of a tooth part.
| - extra thinning of the carious cavity walls (especially at amalgam application);
- inadequate choice of sealing material;
- mistakes at preparation of the carious cavity;
- preparation of the carious cavity with a vibrating bur.
- progressing of the carious process.
| - restoration of anatomical tooth shape with a sealing, inlay or artificial crown.
|
10.Sealing falling out.
| - recurrent caries;
- the cavity is formed without minding the peculiarities of its localization and physical-chemical peculiarities of the sealing material and its adhesive properties;
- splits of the cavity walls;
- mistakes during material preparation and sealing of the carious cavity (insufficient isolation of teeth from the saliva, gingival liquid, bad condensation of the sealing material).
| - we should keep to the rules on every stage of treatment.
|
11.Development of secondary caries.
| - insufficient cavity preparation;
- wrong formation of the enamel margin;
- wrong application of isolating layer;
- wrong marginal contact of the sealing ( splits, absorption, wrong adhesive technique, etc)
| - repeated sealing with absence of these mistakes.
|
12.Inflammation or pulp necrosis.
| - burns of the pulp with hot instruments during the cavity preparation ( absence of water cooling, dull bur, continuous work);
- traumatic processing of the carious cavity floor, administration of strong substances;
- wrong choice or technique of layer application;
- mistakes at staining the teeth;
- sealing without the layer (especially at sealing with an amalgam and composites);
- mistakes at the technique of usage of the layer materials;
- application of glass-ionomer cements for very deep cavities without the layers.
| - treatment of appropriate pulp disease or periodontal disease)
|
13. Papillitis or localized parodontitis.
| - contact of the sealing material into the interdental space during sealing of the 2nd class defects;
- false contact points.
| - to eliminate the impending over the cavity margins sealing material and restore the contact points.
|
14.Progressing of the initial dental caries at non-invasive treatment methods.
| - mistakes at caries diagnosis;
- decreased resistance of the body and hard dental tissues;
- inadequate choice of means and methods of remineralising therapy;
- mistakes at performing the impregnation treatment methods.
| - to prevent this complication the remineralizing caries treatment is performed in combination with the general treatment
|
15. Increased tooth sensitivity after sealing with :
а) glass-ionomer cements;
б) composite materials.
| а) -overdrying of the dental tissues;
- disordered ratio of the liquid and powder during preparation;
- application at very deep cavities without healing layer;
- mistakes at the layer-by-layer application of the sealing material for reduction of polymerization shrinkage;
б) - mistakes at application of adhesive systems;
- bad marginal contact of the sealing (for the polymerization shrinkage)
| - keeping to the rules of application of the sealing materials and adhesive systems;
- re-sealing of the carious cavity in case of a continuous tooth sensitivity preservation.
|
16. Burns of the oral cavity mucosa.
| - contact of strong substances with the oral mucosa (etching gel, high concentrations of silver nitrate, etc).
| - attentive work of the dentist;
- administration of solutions of the required concentrations;
- treatment of burns of the mucosa with anti-inflammatory regenerating substances,
- administration of copherdam.
