So iam a 2nd year dental student and we have got this homework to do . With bunch of cases Its basically to write an essay to how would you treat your patients in the case you chose.
So i been searching around and looking for everything but i ran out of ideas and all i want os like new treatments and behaviour changes for the patient like new ones to make my essay brilliant.
The case is : "Lorna is 50 and works an A&E nurse. She wants you to look at her lower front tooth which feels to be loosening and she also gets some bad taste from the lower back teeth. She is taking 20 mg Citalopram daily for depression and smokes about 30 cigarettes a day but is trying to cut down. She uses mints a lot to hide the smell of smoke. On examination you find generalized bone loss, severe at the lower incisors and with furcation lesions at LR6 and LL7."
The treatments i already planing to write about which is already been written in other colleges is 1- topical fluoride varnish 2- Will talk about the anti depression side effects as xerostomia 3-might go to bone augmentation And of course changing her behaviour on smoking , diet , oral hygiene
Thats all .
