Personal History Name: Pedro Zamora Age: 30 yrs old Sex: Male Race: Hispanic Occupation: Unemployed Marital Status: Single

Medical History Past History: - Pt states having previous malnutrition due to lack of shelter and food. - Prior physical trauma of head and mouth that resulted in the fracture of tooth #8, #9, #10 Present History: - Systemic: Uncontrolled hypertension, history of substance use, smokes tobacco for the past 10 years - Present illnesses: Pt states that he currently has an eating disorder where he over eats and has become obese.

Medical History Current Medication: None Baseline Vitals: 134/94 = 1 st reading 128/90= 2 nd reading **Refer to physician

Dental History Past History: Last dental visit: 1997 Previous restorations: #8,#9,#10 PFM Amalgam #3 O #14 O #18 O #19 BO #30 BO #31 O Present status: New pt for dental hygiene services CC: Would like crown re-cemented #10

Caries Assessment Pt has several clinical caries - #10 Tx planned for RCT due to recurrent decay. New crown must be made - Radiographs were undiagnosable CAMBRA evaluation: - Pt is at HIGH RISK for caries

Radiographs

Clinical Examination Extra oral: WNL Intra oral: Slight attrition on lower anteriors Abrasion on #6, #11, #12, #21, #22, #27, #29 TMD Evaluation: Asymptomatic clicking on right TMJ Mandibular jaw slightly deviates to the right upon opening.

Oral Hygiene Evaluation Skill level: Poor Only brushes 1x a day and never flosses Knowledge of periodontal disease: Unaware Objective: Educate pt about the importance of stabilizing the present periodontal condition. Provide proper OH aids to best suit his needs. Aids: Demonstrated modified bass w/manual TB, proper flossing techniques SonicCare toothbrush, floss holder, Antimicrobial rinse. Barriers: Poor dexterity and motivation, lack of shelter, transportation and employment.

Pre Treatment PI: 81% MBI: 29%

Occlusal Evaluation Bilateral Class I molar and canine relationship 2mm overbite 1mm overjet

Periodontal Evaluation Calculus: Generalized medium-heavy tenacious calculus Plaque: Heavy Restorations: #8,#9,#10 ill-fitting margins Pocket depths: Generalized 3-4 mm w/localized 5-6 mm on posteriors and #8MB and #9 DB Mobility: + on teeth #7-11 and #23-27 Furcations: Buccal Class I #2,#3,#14,#15,#31,#30 Buccal Class II: #19

Periodontal Evaluation Gingival Description Marginal: Generalized smooth, Edematous and erythematic, rolled borders, and glossy Attached: Generalized Pigmented, fibrotic and stippled

Periodontal Evaluation Diagnosis: Generalized Chronic Moderate Periodontitis modified by smoking and perpetuated by plaque Prognosis: clinically = GOOD, however… non-compliance + smoking + stress + poor oral hygiene POOR

Treatment Plan 4 quads SRP w/ local anesthesia Re-evaluation in 4 weeks to assess completed treatment. Assess OH Emphasis on Smoking Cessation

Treatment Appointment #1 (12/03/09) Initial exam, FMX, intraoral photographs, full mouth probing, indices were taken, OHI, #10 PFM re-cemented by supervising dentist. Appointment #2 ( 12/10/09 ) Morning: Initiated smoking cessation, re-assessed OH – brushing & flossing, LLQ SRP w/ local anesthesia. Afternoon: ULQ SRP w/ local anesthesia

Treatment Appointment #3 (1/21/10) Morning: ULQ SRP w/ local anesthesia, re-enforce OH and smoking cessation. Afternoon: LLQ SRP w/local anesthesia, 2% NaF varnish was applied, CAMBRA Assessment, nutritional counseling Appointment #4 (2/18/10) Re-evaluation, full mouth probing, intraoral photographs, case study models, and indices were taken. Fine scaling to remove residual calculus.

Post Treatment Probing: Generalized 3-4 mm w/localized 5 mm on #8MB, #31DB, #17MD Gingival description: Marginal: Generalized pink, smooth, firm, rolled borders Attached: Generalized pigmented, fibrotic and stippled

Post Treatment

Post Treatment PI:18% MBI:9%

Post Treatment Patient consideration - Pt had a good understanding of the tx that was completed and was excited to participate. However, pt’s circumstances made it difficult to maintain compliance. - Complications during treatment: * Pt did not have cell phone or number for direct contact * Pt was dependant on friends driving him to and from appt * No Show on 2 appts.

Post Treatment Operator Considerations: - We did our best to reschedule broken appts - Provided pt with Sonicare TB as well as ACT daily fluoride rinse, and other OH aids so pt would not have to buy on their own. - It was difficult to attain the ideal resolution because pt was not compliant with smoking cessation & medical consults/check-ups.

Research Disease perpetuated & modified by smoking. –Evidence based research has shown that the prevalence and severity of periodontal disease is increased in smokers compared to non-smokers. –In an ex vivo study comparing non-smokers and smokers, it was suggested that smoking may influence the balance between T-helper cells 1 (Th1)/T-helper 2 (Th2) balance towards Th2, which results in a continuous B cell activation and less protective antibody production, leading to the progression and relapse of periodontal disease during Supportive Periodontal Therapy. ( Torres de Heens et al., 2008).

Research (cont’d) Obesity may be linked to an increase risk of periodontal disease due to the adipose-tissue-derived cytokines (tumor necrosis factor alpha, lentin, and interleukin 6 ) and hormones that will increase the pro-inflammatory response. (Pischon et al., 2007) Chronic periodontitis may play a role in elevating the serum level of anti-cardiolipin antibodies in hypertensive patients, resulting in a increased risk for atherosclerosis. (Turkoglu et al. 2008). Furthermore, the study suggest that both hypertension and chronic periodontitis may be related to exacerbating the other’s condition.
