PHYSIOLOGY General Physiology Ex: 1. When the blood pressure suddenly rises or lowers, it initiates a series of reactions that tries to bring the BP to normal levels. 2. Other examples: ACTH secretion, aldosterone K+ glucose regulation, GH secretion. 2. Positive feedback mechanism It is better known as a Vicious circle Usually it is harmful and in some instances even death can occur due to positive feedback Destabilizes homeostatic mechanism Ex: 1. When a person has suddenly bled 2 liters of blood, a vicious circle of progressively weakening of the heart is set which ultimately cause death. If it of mild degree can be overcome by negative feedback mechanism. 2. Sometimes positive feedback can serve useful purposes.

The lipid molecules are cloth pin shape and consists of a head and a tail end The head end/globular end of the molecules contains phosphate moiety radical of of phospholipid/hydroxyl water soluble (hydrophilic) The tail end consists of two chain of fatty acids/steroid radical of cholesterol. It is water insoluble and is hydrophobic These lipid molecules are arranged as bilayer in such a way that their non polar hydrophobic tail ends are directed towards the centre of membrane, where as their polar hydrophilic head ends are directed outwards on either sides of the membrane Functional significance of the Lipid bilayer 1. It is the major barrier for the water soluble molecules like electrolytes, urea and glucose 2. Fat soluble substance like O2 fatty acids and alcohol can pass through the membrane with ease

junctions occupy only smaller regions of membrane asymmetry The choline containing phospholipids (phosphotidylcholine and sphinomyelin) are located mainly in the outer molecular layer; The amino phospholipids (phosphotidyl serine and phosphotidylethanolamine) are preferentially located in inner leaflet Membranes are dynamic structures Major lipids in mammalian membranes are phospholipids, glycolipids and cholesterol. Membrane lipids are amphipathic i.e., contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions Membrane lipids are bilayered Proteins are associated with lipid bilayer and may be integral or peripheral in location Ion channels are transmembrane proteins that allow selective entry of various ions; ionophores membrane are molecules for that various act as shuttle ions; and generate

Oxidative Phosphorylation- The energy obtained by oxidation of substrates is trapped in the f form of reducing equivalents NADH or FADH2 which passes thro mitochondria to generate ATP. Substrate Level Phosphorylation ATP is generated directly from the substrate. EgPhosphoglycerate kinase Pyruvate kinase Succinyl thiokinase Creatine kinase EXAMPLES OF Catabolic Pathways- Glycolysis, glycogenolysis, fatty acid oxidation, amino acid oxidation Anabolic Pathways- Glycogen synthesis, FFA synthesis, protein synthesis Amphibolic Pathways- TCA cycle KEY POINTS IN GLYCOLYSIS

BIOCHEMISTRY Carbohydrates
Irreversible Steps Hexokinase or glucokinase Phosphofructokinase Pyruvate kinase Phosphofructokinase Phosphoglycerate kinase Pyruvate kinase Pyruvate Lactate- For the regeneration of NAD- NAD is required for the G3PDH step when itll be converted to NADH. In aerobic glycolysis, NADH will enter into respiratory chain & we get back the NAD, but if its happening anerobically, LDH step converts it back to NAD to convert pyruvate to lactate. ANAEROBIC GLYCOLYSIS- occurs in RBC, white muscle fibres, lens, retina, brain, renal medulla. Only 2 ATP is produced. RBC- glycolysis is the only energy generating pathway as it lacks mitochondria & hence dependent on anaerobic pathway. RAPPAPORT LUEBERIN CYCLE- a deviation of the normal glycolysis whereby phosphoglycerate kinase step is bypassed & phosphoglycerate mutase generates 2, 3-DPG which is essential for decreasing the affinity of RBC for oxygen, thereby facilitating unloading in tissues. PASTEUR EFFECT- Body attempts to prevent anaerobic glycolysis whenever there is high ATP level, which is obtained by lipolysis & fatty acid oxidation. FATES OF PYRUVATE Aerobic Condition- forms acetyl Co A Anaerobic Condition- forms lactate Well Fed State- forms alanine by transaminase Starvation- forms oxaloacetate for gluconeogenesis

TCA CYCLE

Occurs in mitochondria Only aerobic pathway Amphibolic

BIOCHEMISTRY Carbohydrates
Catabolic- generates 12 ATP from acetyl Co A Anabolic- forms various intermediates like glutamate from alpha-KG, aspartate from oxaloacetate, fatty acids from acetyl Co A. Regulation of TCA Cycle Depends on the type of the cell In skeletal muscle- main purpose is energy production, the cycle generates ATP. The dehydrogenases are all activated by calcium ions & the ATP/ADP ratio will be very low: inhibition on PDH is overcome. In Liver- cycle is anabolic. Citrate synthase is inhibited by high energy level, so oxaloacetate accumulates, which can be utilized for aspartate synthesis. Similarly ATP allosterically inhibits DH to help in glutamate & other synthesis. Succinyl CoA is used in heme synthesis. In adipose tissue- aconitase inhibited-citrate accumulates & helps in FA synthesis. Inhibitors of TCA cycle Fluoroacetate- inhibits aconitase Malonate- inhibits succinate dehydrogenase

ORAL MUCOUS MEMBRANE


Definition The moist lining of the oral cavity that is in continuation with the exterior surface of skin on one end and esophagus on the other end is called Oral Mucous Membrane Origin and Development The mouth is derived partly from the stomatodaeum and partly from the foregut; hence its epithelial lining is partly ectodermal and endodermal.

The lamina propria is thick, tightly bound to the underlying bone and does not stretch It bears the masticatory forces

LINING OR REFLECTING MUCOSA It is distensible over the musculature and covers adapting itself to the contraction and relaxation of cheeks, lips and tongue It makes up all the surfaces of the mouth except the dorsum of the tongue and the masticatory mucosa is not subjected to high levels of friction and must be mobile and distensible It is nonkeratinised and has loose lamina propria It is not exposed so much to masticatory forces Mucosa covering the lip cheek vestibule, alveolar mucosa, floor of the mouth and soft palate SPECIALIZED MUCOSA Dorsum of the tongue has gustatory type of specialised mucosa It is so called because it bears the taste buds which have a special sensory function in addition to general sensory function GENERAL FEATURES Oral mucosa is situated anatomically between the skin and intestinal mucosa. Hence it shows some properties of both The oral mucosa like skin and intestinal mucosa consists of two separate tissues competent A covering epithelium An underlying connective tissue It is considered an organ Oral cavity is divided into Oral cavity proper Oral vestibule Different from skin Moist surface Absence of appendages present in skin ORAL EPITHELIUM Oral mucosa is made up of stratified squamous epithelium derived from embryonic ectoderm Stratification occurs as a result of cell

Act as a semi permeable membrane through which injurious bacterial products pass into the gingiva and tissue fluid from the gingiva seeps into the sulcus 3. Junctional Epithelium (JE) Consists of a collar-like band of stratified squamous non keratinizing epithelium 3 - 4 layers thick in early life, but the number of layers increases with age to 10 or even 20 layers Also, it may taper from its coronal end, which may be 10 to 29 cells wide to one or two cells at its apical termination These cells can be grouped into 2 strata: Basal and Supra basal The length of the junctional epithelium ranges from 0.25 to 1.35 mm (PGI-99, COMEDK-06) Derived from confluence of epithelium and reduced oral enamel

parakeratinised areas K6 and K16, characteristic of highly proliferative epithelia and K5 and K14 are stratification-specific cytokeratins Parakeratinised areas express K19 which is usually absent from orthokeratinized normal epithelia In keeping with complete or almost complete maturation, histoenzyme reactions for Acid phosphatase and pentose - shunt enzymes are very strong Glycogen can accumulate intra cellularly when it is not completely degraded by any of the glycolytic pathways. Thus, its concentration in normal gingiva is inversely related to the degree of inflammation 2.

This is also a physiologic stage present usually upto 40 years In this, the bottom of the gingival sulcus lies on the enamel but the apical end of attachment epithelium is shifted to the cementum

The anatomical crown is fully exposed in the oral cavity Bottom of gingival sulcus shifts to the CEJ and the epithelial attachment entirely shift to cementum Stage 4 or gingival recession Is a pathologic condition Gingival recession can be defined as an exposure of root surface by an apical shift in the position of gingiva In this stage both gingival sulcus and epithelium attachment are on cementum It may occur early in life but generally gingival recession increases with age

The junction of the gingiva and tooth formed by junctional epithelium and gingival fibres is known as dentogingival junction It may be a point of reduced resistance to mechanical forces and bacterial attack The integrity of the dentogingival junction is maintains by epithelium and connective tissue which are attached to tooth Any condition that causes breakdown of collagen weakens the dentogingival junction

maintenance of vessel wall integrity as well as intravascular pressure and osmolarity within certain physiologic ranges Changes in vascular volume, pressure, or protein content, or alterations in endothelial function, all affect the net movement of water across the vascular wall. Such water extravasation into the interstitial spaces is called edema and has different manifestations depending on its location. In the lower extremities, edema mainly causes swelling; in the lungs, edema causes water to fill alveoli, leading to difficulty in breathing. Normal fluid homeostasis also means maintaining blood as a liquid until such time as injury necessitates clot formation. Clotting at inappropriate sites (thrombosis) or migration of clots (embolism) obstructs blood flow to tissues and leads to cell death (infarction). Conversely, inability to clot after vascular injury results in hemorrhage; local bleeding can compromise regional tissue perfusion, while more extensive hemorrhage can result in hypotension (shock) and death Major factor keeping fluid in vessel Oncotic (albumin) Major factor pushing fluid out of vessel Hydrostatic pressure FACTORS

FLUID BETWEEN INRA AND EXTRA-VASCULAR COMPARTMENTS: Under normal conditions, fluid passes out into the interstitial tissue from the arteriolar end of the capillaries and re-enters the circulation at their venular end. This is governed by The capillary hydrostatic pressure which tends to expel fluid into the interstitial tissue The colloidal osmotic pressure of the plasma which tends to retain fluid within the intra-vascular compartment. Also, a small amount of fluid is drained by lymphatics.

EDEMA
CAUSES DEFINITIONS Edema: Increased fluid in interstitial tissue Hydrothorax (pleural effusion): Collection of fluid in pleural cavity Hydropericardium (pericardial effusion): Collection of fluid in pericardial cavity Ascitis (hydroperitoneum): Collection of fluid in peritoneal cavity Anasarca: severe generalized edema Effusion: fluid within the body cavities II.

Liver Grossly, the liver is enlarged, firm and its cut surface shows a nutmeg appearance of fatty change Microscopically, the central veins and the sinusoids in the central zones of the hepatic lobules are dilated and engorged with blood. The hepatocytes between the dilated sinusoids show fatty change. With advance of the condition, the sinusoidal dilatation extends peripherally and the hepatocytes in the central zones become necrotic, while those in the mid zones develop fatty change. In old cases, centrilobular fibrosis occurs and regenerative nodules venous of hepatic parenchyma develop (cardiac cirrhosis) 2.

MECHANISM OF THROMBUS FORMATION Platelets deposit and adhere to the endothelium where they become activated with initiation of the intrinsic coagulation sequence Concomitantly, the release of tissue factors from injured cells participates in the activation of the extrinsic coagulation sequence 1. Endothelial Injury This is particularly important in thrombus formation in the heart and arterial circulation It is mainly caused by: atherosclerosis, infarction of the heart, inflammation, and trauma It leads to: exposure of sub endothelial collagen, adherence of platelets, release of tissue factor, and local depletion of prostacyclin clin and plasminogen activators 2. Alterations in normal blood flow Turbulence over atherosclerotic plaques or at t sites of vascular bifurcation Stasis in varicose veins, aneurysms, dilated cardiac chambers (e.g (e.g. dilated left atrium in mitral stenosis), myocardial infarcts, and small vessels in polcythemia (hyperviscosity) and sic sickle cell anemia (deformed RBCs) Stasis and turbulence disrupt normal laminar blood flow bringing platelets in contact with the endothelium MORPHOLOGY OF THROMBI Structural Features A thrombus forming in rapidly flowing blood e.g. in an artery consists mainly of platelets and is firm and pale reddish-grey reddish (pale thrombus) A thrombus forming in stagnant blood (e.g. adjacent to a complete vascular occlusion) is indistinguishable in appearance from a blood clot, i.e. soft, dark red and gelatinous with a smooth outer surface, and consists mainly of fibrin and RBCs, along with leucocytes l and few platelets (red thrombus) Between the two extremes are mixed thrombi which form in slowly flowing blood, usually in veins and consist of alternating layers of pale and red thrombi or, alternatively, a red thrombus interrupted by pale thrombi at points of vascular anastomosis

SITES OF THROMBOSIS Thrombosis in the heart Thrombi may develop, In the dilated left atrium in mitral stenosis, where they may be attached to the wall (mural thrombus) or are free in the atrial lumen and may plug the mitral valve (ball-valve thrombus) On the endocardium lining a ventricular myocardial infarct (mural thrombus) On the cardiac valves (vegetations) in various forms of endocarditis and 3. 4. hypercoagulability states Thrombosis in arteries Develops at sites of endothelial injury (most commonly due to atheroma), turbulence (arterial bifurcation) or stasis (aneurysms) In small arteries e.g. coronary, cerebral, thrombi may occlude the arterial lumen (occluding thrombi) Venous thrombosis Superficial venous thrombosis usually develops in the saphenous system in the presence of varicosities. Deep venous thrombosis usually develops in popleteal, femoral or iliac veins following congestive heart failure, trauma, surgery or burns, peurperal and postpartum states, tumors, bed rest and immobilization Thrombophlebitis This is venous thrombosis resulting from damage of the either endothelium bacterial by inflammation, (septic COMPLICATIONS OF THROMBI 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Their effects depend on whether they are infected (septic emboli) or bland (aseptic emboli), the size of the embolus and the organ embolized Septic emboli lead to pyemic abscesses wherever they settle. Aseptic emboli o A large embolus derived from a venous thrombus impacts in the main trunk of the pulmonary artery, across its bifurcation (saddle thrombus) or in one of its major branches leading to sudden death due to acute right ventricular failure (because of sudden obstruction of 60% or more of the pulmonary outflow) with a consequent pronounced reduction in left ventricular cardiac output and cardiogenic o shock (massive pulmonary embolism) Smaller emboli derived from a venous thrombus or a thrombus or vegetation in the right side of the heart impact in smaller branches of the pulmonary lung infarcts artery producing o 5. 4.

lead to parasitic lesions wherever they settle Fat emboli Consisting of fat globules which may enter the circulation from the bone marrow following fractures of long bones or, less commonly, from the subcutaneous tissue following trauma or burns Air emboli Air may enter the circulation through wounds involving the large veins of the neck, during obstetric procedures (e.g. tubal insufflations) or following chest wall injury Decompression sickness When air is breathed at high pressure e.g. during a deep see dive, increased (particularly amounts nitrogen) of gas become

dissolved in blood and tissues. If the diver ascends (depressurizes) too rapidly, gases come out of solution and form bubbles in the blood (gas emboli) and tissues, leading to various clinical effects involving muscles and joints, CNS, CVS and respiratory system. Caissons disease A more chronic form of with decompression sickness

only in the presence of CVC. Emboli derived from the left side of the heart, aorta or large arteries leads to infarcts in organs occluded supplied vessel by e.g. the lower

persistence of gas emboli in bones leading to multiple foci of ischemic necrosis

GENERAL PATHOLOGY Hemodynamic Pathology


6. Amniotic fluid embolism A rare maternal complication of childbirth which is often fatal It results from introduction of amniotic fluid into the maternal circulation via tears in the placental membranes and uterine veins. Amniotic fluid produces disseminated intravascular clotting (DIC) because of its high thromboplastic activity. DIC results in marked hypofibrinogenemia (consumptive coagulopathy) that leads to fatal uterine hemorrhage (amniotic fluid infusion) o o Infection of the infarcted tissue

24

In these cases the infarct changes into an abscess

Infarcts are often wedge-shaped, with the base of the wedge directed towards the surface of the organ and its apex (occluded vessel) towards the hilum. When the base of the infarct is a serosal surface, there is often an overlying fibrinous inflammation Infarcts are often surrounded by a narrow rim of hyperemia (congestion). This results from acute inflammation at the margin of the lesion, induced by the necrotic tissue, with congestion and infiltration by neutrophils and macrophages The inflammatory response is eventually followed by gradual removal of the necrotic tissue by macrophages and replacement of the infarct by granulation tissue then fibrous tissue (healed infarct)

INFARCTION
It is Ischemic necrosis resulting from occlusion of the arterial blood supply or, much less commonly, the venous drainage (in organs with a single venous outflow e.g. testis, ovary) The area of necrosis so produced is called an infarct MORPHOLOGY OF INFARCTS Infarcts may be red (hemorrhagic) or pale (white, anemic) depending on the vascularity, blood content and texture of the tissue in which the infarct develops Thus, red infarcts occur in, o Tissues with a dual circulation e.g. lung permitting blood flow from the patent vessels into the infarcted area o o o Previously congested tissues Venous torsion Loose tissues that allow blood to collect in the infarcted area e.g. small intestine, lung Pale infarcts occur with arterial occlusion in solid organs e.g. heart, spleen, kidney, where the solidity of the tissue limits the amount of hemorrhage from the necrotic capillaries in the infarcted area Infarcts may be septic or bland depending on the presence or absence of infection. Septic infarcts develop as a result of either: o Impaction of septic emboli derived from an infected thrombus or vegetation 5. 4. 3. 2. occlusions e.g. ovarian

The necrosis of the infarct is of the coagulative type in all infarcts except those of the CNS in which the necrosis is of the liquefactive type where the necrotic area undergoes rapid liquefaction and eventually appears as a cavity filled with clear fluid and surrounded by a layer of gliosis resulting from proliferation of astrocytes

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF INFARCTION 1. Myocardial infarction may lead to: Death, mainly due to arrhythmias or acute left ventricular heart failure failure and cardiogenic shock Congestive tissue Cerebral infarction often leads to hemiplegia due to destruction of the pyramidal tract in the internal capsule Infarction of the intestine leads to, Acute intestinal obstruction (affected loop ceases to contract) Severe toxemia (gangrene) Hemoptysis (hemorrhage into alveolar spaces) Chest pain and friction rub (pleurisy) Hematuria Infarction of the kidney may lead to, Infarction of the lung may lead to, following replacement of the infarct by fibrous

Senile or atherosclerotic kidney if the infarction is repeated over a prolonged period MORPHOLOGY OF SHOCK

25

Shock of any form is associated with morphologic changes of hypoxic injury in a number of organs particularly the brain, heart, lungs, kidney, adrenals and GIT.

SHOCK (CARDIOVASCULAR COLLAPSE)


It is Failure of the circulatory system to maintain adequate perfusion and oxygenation of vital organs due to sudden severe reduction of cardiac output or circulating blood volume TYPES & CAUSES OF SHOCK 1. Cardiogenic shock Results from reduction of cardiac (left ventricular) output and may be caused by: Large myocardial infarction Ventricular arrhythmias Cardiac Massive (acute failure) 2. Hypovolemic shock Results from reduction of blood or plasma volume and may be caused by: Severe hemorrhage Fluid loss from severe burns or trauma 3. Septic shock Results from systemic microbial infection, most commonly infections by Gram -ve bacilli (endotoxic shock) 4. Neurogenic shock Results from loss of vascular tone and peripheral pooling of blood and may be caused by: An anesthetic complication Spinal cord injury 5. Anaphylactic shock Results from generalized vasodilatation and increased by vascular an IgE permeability mediated caused tamponade pulmonary right (extrinsic embolism ventricular compression)

With the exception of neuronal and myocyte loss, all tissues may recover if the patient survives

The brain is swollen with widened gyri and narrowed sulci. Microscopically, early cases show acute neuronal change or red neurones (vacuolation, then eosinophilia of neuronal cytoplasm, followed by nuclear pyknosis and karyorrhexis). Later on, there is tissue necrosis with infiltration by macrophages. Finally, the necrotic tissue is removed and replaced by gliosis (hypoxic encephalopathy).

The kidneys are swollen and congested with pooling of blood in the outer medulla. Microscopically, there is extensive acute tubular necrosis (shock kidney)

The

lungs

are

heavy, they

and

Microscopically,

show

congestion,

edema, inflammation and diffuse alveolar damage (shock lung, ARDS) The adrenals show depletion of lipids in cortical cells (lipids utilized in synthesis of steroids). There may be also focal hemorrhage or rarely, massive hemorrhagic necrosis (as in Waterhouse- Friderichsen syndrome of meningococcal septicemia). CLINICAL MANIFESTATIONS Unless rapidly fatal, shock passes through three stages: 1. An initial non-progressive stage during which compensatory neuro-hormonal mechanisms are activated and perfusion of vital organs is maintained. 2. A progressive stage characterized by tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia, metabolic imbalances including acidosis (anerobic glycolysis and renal failure) and progressively decreasing cardiac output and increasing endothelial injury. 3. An irreversible stage after severe tissue injury has developed, so severe that even if the hemodynamic defects are corrected, survival is not possible

detailed observations of biological materials made with the best compound microscope and illumination system of the time. 1676: Anton van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) was the first person to observe microorganisms. 1883: Carl Zeiss and Ernst Abbe pioneered developments in microscopy (such as immersion lenses and apochromatic lenses which reduce chromatic aberration) which perist until the present day. 1931: Ernst Ruska constructed the first electron microscope. Robert Koch (1843-1910) German bacteriologist was the first to cultivate anthrax bacteria outside the body using blood serum at body temperature Building on Pasteurs "germ theory", he subsequently published "Koch's postulates" (1884), the critical test for the involvement of a microorganism in a disease: 1. 2. 3. The agent must be present in every case of the disease. The agent must be isolated and cultured in vitro. The disease must be reproduced when a pure culture of the agent is inoculated into a susceptible host. 4. The agent must be recoverable from the experimentally-infected host.

Lysozyme, an enzyme found in tears and saliva breaks down a component of cell walls Antibiotics that inhibits cell wall synthesis such as Penicillins and cephalosporins Autolytic enzymes produced by some bacteria such as Streptococcus pneumoniae

Since cell wall does not take up stain, they cant be demonstrated by light microscopy Their presence can be demonstrated by placing a cell in hypertonic solution, where they undergo plasmolysis. The cytoplasm shrinks as the water is lost by osmosis but the cell wall retains its original shape (due to its rigidity). This is described as "bacterial ghost" The cell wall may also be demonstrated by micro-dissection, electron microscopy and immunological reactivity

Naturally occurring wall less microorganisms Genus Mycoplasma and related organism Smallest known bacteria that can grow and cells Pass through most bacterial filters and were first mistaken for viruses Require cholesterol or sterols for growth Cultivated in the laboratory only in hypertonic media 2.

Significance of cell wall Maintains cell shape, any cell that loses its cell wall, loses its shape as well. Protects bacteria from osmotic lysis Acts as a barrier, protects cell contents from external environment Determines reactivity to Gram stain, cells become gram negative if they lose cell wall Attachment site for flagella Site of action of certain antimicrobial agents (E.g.

OCCURRENCE OF GENOTYPIC VARIATION By mutation By mechanisms of genetic transfer or exchange 1. 2. 3. MUTATION It is a random, undirected, heritable variation caused by an alteration in the nucleotide sequence at some point of the DNA of the cell Occurrence Spontaneous Induced by external agents like chemicals, radiation Point Mutation Affects one point (base pair) in a gene May change to or substitution of a different base pair Or Result in the deletion or addition of a base pair Mutation Rate Frequency of mutations expressed as mutation rate Mutation rate is the probability of mutation per gene per cell division In bacteria the rate ranges from 10 to 10 per bacterium per division Consequences of Mutations May be lethal or may affect some minor functions that may not be expressed It is of vital importance when it confers a survival advantage. Eg-if a streptomycin resistant mutant of the tubercle bacillus develops in a patient under treatment with the drug, it multiplies selectively and ultimately replaces the original drug sensitive bacteria Practical importance of mutation is the development of drug resistance

Mechanism Binding of DNA fragment to recipient bacteria Passage of single stranded DNA into the recipient Incorporation of DNA fragment into the recipient chromosome Significance Acquisition of virulence genes Drug resistance genes Eg. Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenza Transduction A process where bacterial virus called bacteriophage carries the DNA fragment from donor to recipient cell Bacteriophages are viruses that parasitize bacteria and consist of a nucleic acid core & a protein coat After replication inside bacteria, phage assembly occurs When this particle infects another bacterium it acquires the new donor DNA & new characteristics Types 1. Generalized Any segment of donor DNA is transduced at random 2. Restricted/Specialized When a specific phage transduces only a particular genetic trait Sometimes apart from bacterial DNA plasmid can also be transduced Eg. Plasmids determining penicillin resistance in Staphylococcus aureus is transferred from one bacterium to another by transduction Lysogenic conversion A process where phage infecting the bacterium gets incorporated in the bacterial chromosome (such a phage is called prophage)

PHARMACOLOGY General Pharmacology

General principles of absorption Weak acids are better absorbed in acidic environment; weak bases in basic environment Strong acid/alkalies are always ionized so above principle do not apply Basic drugs are always concentrated intra cellularly For easy penetration or diffusion, molecule should be unionized Phagocytosis (cell eating) Pinocytosis (cell drinking)

Factors affecting Drug Absorption 1. Physical properties Physical State, Lipid and Water Solubility Particle Size, Disintegration Time, Dissolution Time, Formulations 2. Nature of dosage forms Micro fining of drug particles to improve absorption dose for drugs like Aspirin, Griseofulvin, Spironolactone Some drugs are purposely made of larger size to decrease systemic absorption and toxicity. Ex: Bephenium hydroxynaphthoate Ionization, pH of GI fluids and blood GI transit time, Enterohepatic circulation 3. Physiological factors Area of absorbing surface, vascularity of absorbing area First pass metabolism Presence of other drugs 4. 5. Pharmocogenetic factors Diseases Ex: Malabsorption, Thyrotoxicosis, Cirrhosis, Achlorhydria

Ion Trapping When acidic drug comes in contact with acidic pH of stomach, it remains in unionised form. But when it penetrates the gastric mucosal cell, it gets ionized since intracellular pH is alkaline. Hence acidic drug can get stored within the cell in ionized state. The process is called Ion Trapping. Ex: Aspirin To facilitate drug absorption by oral route, micro fining of drug particles are done. Ex: aspirin, Griseofulvin, Spironolactone Certain dugs particle size is purposely made larger to slow the absorption by oral route. Ex: Bephenium hydroxynaphthoate Bioavailability Fraction of administered dose of the drug that reaches the systemic circulation in unchanged form following non-vascular administration It is the measure of rate and extent of drug absorption. Denoted by F When drug is administered IV, bioavailability is 100 % Plasma concentration time curve denote bioavailability of drug by different routes. The graph obtained is called Area Under Curve (AUC) F can be calculated by comparing AUC of a drug by any route to IV route

AUC by oral route x 100 AUC by IV route

Pharmaceutical Equivalence

If drug formulations are identical in strength, concentration and dosage forms, they are said to be pharmaceutically equivalent

Bioequivalence

When the rates and extent of bioavailability of the active ingredients in the two formulations which are pharmaceutically equivalent do not differ significantly under standard condition, they are termed as bioequivalent preparations

Usually bioavailability by IV Route is 100 % except for few drugs like Chloramphenicol succinate since there is renal excretion of ester before hydrolysis Some drugs have almost 100 % bioavailability by oral route like warfarin, clonidine, levofloxacin etc BA/BE studies are very important for drugs having narrow margin of safety and during antimicrobial therapy failure

DENTAL MATERIALS Nature of Metals and Alloys

NATURE OF METALS AND ALLOYS


Metals represent one of the four major groups of dental materials. The Metals Handbook (1992) defines a Metal as "an opaque lustrous chemical substance that is a good conductor of heat and electricity and, when polished, is a good reflector of light." An Alloy is a substance with metallic properties that consists of two or more chemical elements, at least one of which is a metal. The study of metals and alloys is called as Metallurgy Gallium and Mercury, elements commonly used in dental alloys, are liquid at body temperature A unique characteristic of metals is that they are good thermal and electrical conductors. Compared with ceramics, polymers, and composites, metals have high fracture toughness (KIc), i.e. the ability to absorb energy and inhibit crack propagation under increasing tensile stress. This property is a measure of the resistance of a material to clack propagation Noble metals (gold, iridium, osmium, and palladium, platinum, rhodium,

Sag: deformation of a metal or alloy; for our discussion, this occurs at high temperatures such as during porcelain firing.

Generally, alloys are used in dentistry because alloying strengthens a metal. Pure metals such as gold are not used because their relatively poor physical properties make them a poor choice for intraoral use. For example, pure cast gold is only 1/5th as strong and 1/6th as hard as a typical gold-based casting alloy.

During solidification (i.e., when a metal or alloy goes from liquid to solid), the following process occurs: random atoms to embryos (temporary nuclei) to nuclei to dendrites to grains

As the grains grow, they contact each other. The border between them is called a grain boundary.

Generally, a metal to be used under intraoral conditions should have a fine grained structure because it tends to be more resistant to permanent deformation.

BONDING OF METALS Apart from ionic and covalent bonding a solid can be held together by metallic bonds. Metallic bonds are formed between the free moving valence electrons and the positively charged ionic cores. Outer shell valence electrons can be removed easily from atoms in metals, thus the nuclei contains the balance of the bound electrons forming a positively charged ionic core. The electrons from these metal atoms flow freely to form a sea of electrons or cloud or gas Often called delocalized electrons Since the electrons are negatively charged and ionic cores are positively charged, electrostatic attraction force results giving rise to metallic bonds which holds the particles in the atom together ATOMIC STRUCTURE Atomic level, pure metals exist as crystalline arrays.

ruthenium) are highly resistant to corrosion and oxidation and do not require alloying elements for this purpose TERMINOLOGY Liquidus: the temperature below which a metal is completely solid (i.e., the temperature at which it begins to melt). Solidus: the temperature above which a metal is completely melted. Grain: a single crystal of metal as seen in the metals microstructure. Grain refiner: a metal such as iridium that is added to a metal or alloy because of its high melting temperature. Since it remains solid while the rest of the metal is molten, its small particles act as seeds around which grains of the solidifying metal form. This enhances the physical properties of the solid metal.

DENTAL MATERIALS Nature of Metals and Alloys


In these arrays, the nuclei and core electrons occupy the atomic centers, whereas the free electrons float among the atomic positions There here are six crystal systems that occur and these can further be divided into 14 crystalline arrays. Within each array, the smallest repeating unit that captures all of the relationships among atomic centres is called a unit cell.

113

Hexagonal - atoms are equidistant from each other in the horizontal plane but not in the vertical direction

PROPERTIES OF METALS All properties are a result from its structure and metallic bonds. Higher density due to efficient packing of atomic centres in the crystal lattice. Good electrical and thermal conductivity due to mobility of valence electrons which transfers energy by moving readily from areas of higher energy to those of lower energy under the influence or a thermal gradient or an electrical field. The unit cells for the most common arrays in dental metals are body centred cubic, face centred cubic and hexagonal. Body centred cubic metallic atoms are located at the corners of the unit cell, and one atom is at the centre of the unit cell. Face centred has 90 degree angles and atomic centres that are equidistant horizontally and vertically but atoms are located at the centres of the faces but none in the centre of the unit cell Opacity and nd reflective nature of metals ability of free electrons to absorb and re - emit light. Melting Point occur as metallic bonds are overcome by the applied heat. The more valence electrons to an atomic centre, the higher the melting point. Corrosion depend on how the valence electrons are held. The weaker the metallic bond, the higher the corrosion. Good ductility and malleability result from the ability of the atomic centres to slide against each other into new positions. Crystals have dislocation that allows the atomic centres to slide past each other one plane at a time. Force required is less to move

one plane at a time than trying to overcome to move all planes simultaneously. Hence dislocations allow relatively easy deformation of metals. Strength of metals are increased by impeding the movement of dislocations. Fracture of metals occurs when atoms are unable to slide past one another. This occurs when there are impurities which block the dislocations. Emits a metallic sound Appear white except for gold and copper. Grains and Crystal Structure in Alloys

114

When cooling continues, nuclei grow into crystals grains Grains enlarge until all of the liquid is gone and the grains meet and form boundaries grain boundaries

Size of grains depends on the cooling rate, alloy composition, presence of grain refiners. Small grain size is generally desirable as it has better properties. Grain size influences an alloys strength, workability and even susceptibility to corrosion Grain refiners are added to decrease grain size. Such as metals are iridium and ruthenium. Grain boundaries are important as they contain impurities such as oxides that are sites of corrosive attack. Grain boundary regions are the final sites to undergo freezing for a molten metal that forms an equiaxed grain structure Dendrites result from grains that grow along the major axes of the crystal lattice early in the freezing process. Dendritic skeleton structure persists to room temperature if the cooling rate is too fast. Alloys that are predominantly base metal have larger grain size and cannot use grain refiners such as iridium. Equiaxed means that the three dimensions of each grain are similar, in contrast to the elongated morphology of the dendrites Most noble metal casting alloys solidify with an equiaxed polycrystalline microstructure Cold-worked (wrought) microstructure When the metal is to be used for wires, bands, bars, or other types of wrought structures, it is first cast into ingots that are then subjected to rolling, swaging, or wire-drawing operations that produce severe mechanical deformation of the metal. Such operations are described as hot or cold working of the metal,

ALLOYS Use of pure metals is limited in dentistry as they are soft and some like iron tend to corrode easily. It has been seen that metals maintain metallic behavior even when they are not pure and therefore can accept to a certain extent of addition of other elements when they solidify from liquid to solid state. To optimize properties, most metals are mixtures of two or more metallic elements or in some case one or more metals and/or nonmetals. Normally prepared by fusion of the elements above their melting points. Categorizing Alloys Based on either being noble or non noble Noble alloys have noble metals as the majority of the components whereas non noble alloys have a greater percentage of base metals American Dental Association has three categories high-noble, noble and predominantly base metals. Based on the basis of their most common metal For instance if the alloy contains mainly gold, then it will be called gold based Microstructure of Alloys As the molten alloy is cooled, the first solid alloy particles form as the temperature reaches the Liquidus this process is called nucleation

depending on the temperature at which the operation is performed. Many dental structures, such as orthodontic wires and bands, are formed by cold working operations. The finished product is often described as a wrought structure to denote that it has been formed by severe working or shaping operations. The microscopic appearance of a cast metal is crystalline and sometimes has dendritic structure, when this metal is subjected to cold-working operations, such as drawing into a wire; the grains are broken down, entangled in each other, and elongated to develop a fibrous structure change in or appearance internal that is is characteristic of wrought forms. This appearance accompanied by a change in mechanical properties. In general, mechanical properties of the wrought structure are superior to those of a casting prepared from the same melt or alloy Recrystallization and Grain Growth Metals or alloys that have been cold worked in the process of forming wires or bands change their internal structure and properties when heated or annealed. The characteristic fibrous structure of the wrought mass is gradually lost, and the grain or crystalline structure reappears. The process is known as recrystallization or alloy during grain growth. The and but degree of recrystallization is related not only to the composition fabrication, mechanical also to the treatment or strain hardening received temperature and the duration of the heating operation. High temperatures and long heating periods produce the greatest amount of recrystallization. Because the strength is usually reduced in recrystallized wrought structure (ductility often increases), it is necessary to guard SOLIDIFICATION OF METALS

If a pure metal is melted and allowed to cool to room temperature in a clean (and inert) container and if its temperature during cooling is plotted as a function of time, the following graph results

The following observations can be made from the above graph From point A to point B steady decrease in temperature From point B to point B increase in temperature. Here time temperature remains constant until point C From point C steady decrease in temperature Temperature Tf indicted by straight or plateau portion of the curve at BC. It is the freezing point or solidification temperature of the pure metal and also the melting point or fusion temperature All temperatures above Tf (plateau BC) are associated with molten metal

BRIHASPATHI ACADEMY SUBSCRIBERS COPY NOT FOR SALE

DENTAL MATERIALS Nature of Metals and Alloys


All temperatures below Tf (plateau BC) are associated with solid metal The initial cooling of the liquid metal from Tf to point B' is termed super cooling. During melting, temperature remains constant During freezing or solidification, heat is released as the metal changes from the higher-energy liquid state to the lower-energy solid state. This energy difference is the latent heat of solidification and is equal to the heat of fusion During the Super cooling process, crystallization begins for the pure metal. Once the crystals begin to form, release of the latent heat of fusion causes the temperature to rise to Tf, where it remains until crystallization is completed at point C. Super cooling of pure metals occurs only in clean and inert containers Nucleus formation As the molten metal approaches its freezing temperature, its energy relationships change Solidification begins with the formation of embryos in the molten metal (embryo is a small cluster of atoms that has the same arrangement as the long-range atomic order found in the solidified metal) At temperatures above Tf, such embryos will also form spontaneously in the molten metal, but they are unstable since the liquid state has a lower free energy than the solid state Free energy is of two types surface free energy and volume free energy Surface free energy (FS) = 4 . It increases as the square of the embryo radius Volume of free energy (FV) the difference in the free energies of the solid and liquid states. It is given by FV becomes

116

Overall or Resultant free energy of an embryo (R) is the sum of the surface free energy (positive) and the volume free energy change (negative) contributions

Observations from the above graph are as follows At small values of embryo radius, FS is dominant and the overall free energy for the formation of the embryo is positive (energetically unfavorable) At larger values of the embryo radius, FV become dominant and the overall free energy of the embryo is negative (energetically favourable) Critical nucleus size (ro) is the maximum point in the total free energy of the embryos as a function of radius For an embryo of radius (ro), the overall flee energy (R) decreases with the addition of another atom and continues to decrease as the embryo grows. Hence, embryos with radii smaller than ro, are unstable and spontaneously form and disappear in the liquid metal, whereas embryos with radii larger than ro, are stable nuclei and continue to grow during the solidification process

. It varies as the third negative (more

power of the spherical embryo radius increasingly energetically favourable) as the temperature of the super cooled liquid is decreased below Tf

Greater the amount of super cooling, the greater the rate of temperature reduction below Tf, the smaller is the critical radius ro,

because the value of FV for a given embryo size becomes increasingly negative Hence, an increasing number of embryos become stable as the super cooling is increased, and these embryos have reduced surface energy because of their decreased radii. If the molten metal is cooled so rapidly that solidification must occur at a much lower temperature than Tf, there is a tendency for many, very small, stable nuclei or solidification centers to form. If a single crystal is desired, little super cooling is needed, and the molten metal must be cooled very slowly Homogeneous Nucleation It occurs when there are no special objects inside a phase which can cause nucleation For instance, when a pure liquid metal is slowly cooled below its equilibrium freezing are temperature by to a sufficient atoms degree, numerous homogeneous nuclei created slow-moving bonding together in a crystalline form It is a random process, having equal probability of occurring at any point in the molten metal Heterogeneous Nucleation Occurs when there are special objects inside a phase which can cause nucleation The mold walls or particles of dust and other impurities in the molten metal may produce heterogeneous nucleation Super cooling is not required for heterogeneous nucleation Solidification modes & Effects on properties Characteristically, a pure metal crystallizes from nuclei in a pattern that often resembles the branches of a tree yielding elongated crystals that are called dendrites. After their nucleation, typically at mold walls for castings, dendrites grow during the solidification of pure metals by the mechanism of thermal super cooling. Implications of Dendrites in Cast Alloys Dendritic microstructures Extensions or elevated areas

called

protuberances form spontaneously on the advancing front of the solidifying metal and grow into regions of negative temperature gradient In these regions of negative temperature gradient, the temperature is higher in the liquid adjacent to the frozen metal because of the latent heat of fusion released during freezing. The protuberances rapidly grow in the adjacent super cooled regions that lie farther away in the molten metal; growth is along specific crystallographic directions. The latent heat released by the solidifying metal also lowers the amount of super cooling at the liquid-solid interface, hindering growth in regions adjacent to the protuberances and resulting in separated, and highly elongated crystals. A similar growth mechanism subsequently occurs at lateral sites along the protuberances and later at lateral sites along the secondary branches, resulting in the three-dimensional dendritic structure.

generally desirable for cast dental alloys, since the inter dendritic regions can serve as sites for facile crack propagation Hot tears (micro cracks) can form at elevated temperatures in thin areas of castings prepared from these alloys, where there is insufficient bulk metal to resist the stresses imposed by the stronger casting investment, and these cracks will degrade the mechanical properties of the restorations. To avoid hot tears, castings need to have adequate thickness, and an alloy should be selected that has an equiaxed grain structure rather than a dendritic structure along with a lower burnout temperature

PHASE DIAGRAMS

118

A phase is a state of matter that is distinct in some way from the matter around it. In a mixture of ice and water there are two phases because although ice and water are the same chemically, they each have distinct arrangements of atoms. Ice has the crystalline arrangement of a solid whereas water h has the random atomic arrangement of a liquid.

A solid dental alloy may also have one phase if the composition of the alloy is essentially homogeneous throughout.

If the alloy has areas where compositions are different, it is called a multiple multiple-phase alloy. Phase diagrams are "maps" of the phases that occur when metals are mixed together. If there are two metals in an alloy, a binary phase diagram is used. If three metals are in the alloy, a ternary phase diagram may be used.

Phase diagrams describing alloys with more than three metals are not used because they are too complex; the vast majority of phase diagrams describe only binary alloys.

A typical phase diagram for a theoretical binary alloy AB is shown in above figure. The x-axis describes the composition of the elements in either weight percent or atomic percent. The y-axis axis is the temperature of the alloy system. It is important to remember that a phase diagram shows the composition and types of phases at a given temperatur temperature and at equilibrium. Every phase diagram divides an alloy system into at least three areas: the liquid phase, the liquid + solid phases, and the solid

phase. For example, everything above the temperatures shown by line ACB is liquid. This line is therefore e called the Liquidus. Everything below line ADB is solid. This line is thus called the solidus. The area between these two lines contains some liquid and some solid. At 0% B, a single phase exists (100% A) that has a single melting point (800 (800C). At 100% B, a single phase exists that has a melting point (210C). At any composition between these extremes, the melting range is defined as the temperature difference between the liquidus (ACB) and solidus (ADB). When metals are mixed together in the molten state, e, then cooled to the solid state, there are several outcomes depending on the solubility of the metals in each other. If the metals remain soluble in one another, the result is a solid solution. If the metals are not soluble in the solid state, then a eutectic may form. Sometimes, the elements react to form a specific compound, called an intermetallic compound. SOLID SOLUTIONS By far the greatest number r of alloys that are useful ul for dental restorations are ar based on solid solutions Types 1. Substitutional solid solution he atoms of the solute metal occupy the The positions in the crystal structu cture that are normally occupied ed by the solvent atoms in the pure metal For a palladium silver alloy in which palladium is the solvent metal, the silver atoms replace the palladium atoms randomly in the crystal structure Another example include gold gold-copper alloy which is a disorded solid solution at high temperatures 3. Super lattice/ordered structure 2. Interstitial solid solution

The solute atoms are present in random positions (interstices) between the atoms in the crystal structure of the solvent metal This type of solid solution ordinarily requires that hat the solute atoms should be much smaller in diameter than the solvent atoms, and these soli solid solutions usually are limited to relatively small concentrations of solute Examples are carbon in iron i.e. carbon steel and commercially pure (CP) Titanium alloys

If an alloy containing ing 50.2wt% gold and 43.8 wt% copper is allowed lowed to cool slowly below 400C (752F), the AuCu3 structure forms, in which the gold atoms are located at the corners of the face-centered cubic (fcc) unit cells and the coppe copper atoms are located at the centers of the faces faces. This unit cell is equ equivalent to AuCu3, since two adjacent uni unit cells share each of the six copper atoms at the centers of each of the six faces s of the cube and eight unit cells share each of the he e eight gold corner atoms. This ordered structure is called super lattice Ordered solution impart higher hardness and strengths to alloys

lower than either of the pure components. The eutectic system of Pb-Sn uses the eutectic alloy composition as plumber's solder because of its low melting point. Hypo-eutectic alloys: If an alloy composition C is lower, than eutectic composition CE, solidification of the alloy starts from formation of the primary crystals of -phase according to the left branch of the liquidus curve. These alloys are called hypo-eutectic. Hyper-eutectic alloys: If an alloy composition C is higher, than eutectic composition CE, solidification of the alloy starts from formation of the primary crystals of -phase according to the right branch of the liquidus curve. These alloys are called hyper-eutectic. PERITECTIC ALLOYS Sometimes a solid solution phase, which has already been formed, and the residual liquid phase react and form another solid solution phase or intermetallic compound, having a composition between the compositions of the liquid and the first solid. This is peritectic transformation (peritectic reaction). INTERMETALLIC COMPOUNDS If two metals react to form a new compound with Ag3Sn a specific is a composition, fundamentally the phase diagram reflects an intermetallic compound. important intermetallic compound in dental amalgam. TERNARY PHASE DIAGRAMS These phase diagrams are three-dimensional. Two dimensional representations in the shape of an equilateral triangle are also used to represent the three-dimensional structure.

Above graph shows a series of binary Ag-Cu alloys. In this phase diagram, the liquidus and solidus meet at a mid-range composition and the solidus is lower (at 779.4C) than either pure Ag (960.5C) or Cu (1083C). This liquidus-solidus configuration is characteristic of an eutectic alloy system. The Ag-Cu system is especially important in high-Cu dental amalgam, but is also important in the formulation of some dental casting alloys.

The eutectic system shown in above figure contains a pure solid solution below 400C only at either extreme of composition (4% Ag or 4 % Cu) because the Ag and Cu are essentially insoluble in one another in the solid state. At all other equilibrium conditions below the solidus, a mixture of a solid solution (either or ) and the eutectic composition occurs. The eutectic composition is 28.1% Cu (and 71.9% Ag) and has a layered appearance under a light microscope. If the alloy is at the eutectic composition, all of the alloy will be in the eutectic phase at room temperature (see the dotted line in figure). If the composition is other than this, then the alloy will be some combination of the solid solution and eutectic phases. The exact proportions of eutectic and solid solution can also be determined from the phase diagram.

A pure eutectic composition has a melting point (vs, a melting range) that is substantially

temperature (T). The AB, AC, and BC axes reflect concentrations of the components. The three-dimensional surface that is visible represents the liquidus for this system. Other features of the phase diagram below the liquidus require a two-dimensional cross section parallel to the ABC plane. The shape of the liquidus indicates that this is a eutectic system. ALLOY STRENGTHENING MECHANISMS Precipitation hardening is used to strengthen dental alloys. By heating some cast alloys carefully, a second phase can be made to appear in the body of the alloy. The new phase blocks the movement of dislocations, thereby increasing strength and hardness. The effectiveness of precipitation hardening is greater if the precipitate is still part of the normal crystal lattice. This type of precipitation is called coherent precipitation. Overheating may reduce alloy properties by allowing the second phase to grow outside of the original lattice structure. Grain refiners such as Ir, Rh, and Ru improve the strength of alloys by several times. Moreover, generally ductility. Cold working an alloy will significantly further strengthen it. Cold working works out the dislocations, thereby making deformation more difficult. BASIC PRINCIPLES OF HEAT TREATMENT Heat treatment of a metal or alloy is a technological procedure, including controlled heating and cooling operations, conducted for the purpose of changing the alloy microstructure and resulting in achieving required properties. There are two general objectives of heat treatment: hardening and annealing. strength improved and hardness are without sacrificing

Hardening is a process of increasing the metal hardness, resistance. Strain hardening (work hardening) strengthening by cold-work (cold plastic deformation) Cold plastic deformation causes increase of concentration of dislocations, which mutually entangle one another, making further dislocation motion difficult and therefore resisting the deformation or increasing the metal strength. Grain size strengthening (hardening) strengthening by grain refining. Grain boundaries serve as barriers to dislocations, raising the stress required to cause plastic deformation. Solid solution hardening strengthening by dissolving an alloying element. Atoms of solute element distort the crystal lattice, resisting solid the solution dislocations hardening, motion. than Interstitial elements are more effective in substitution elements. Dispersion strengthening strengthening by addition of second phase into metal matrix. The second phase boundaries resist the dislocations motions, increasing the material strength. The strengthening effect may be significant if fine hard particles are added to a soft ductile matrix (composite materials). Precipitation hardening (age hardening) strengthening by precipitation of fine particles of a second phase from a supersaturated solid solution. The second phase boundaries resist the dislocations motions, increasing the material strength. strength, toughness, fatigue

Annealing Annealing is a heat treatment procedure involving heating the alloy and holding it at a certain temperature (annealing temperature), followed by controlled cooling. Annealing results in relief of internal stresses, softening, chemical homogenizing and

As the mass enlarges, the epithelial cells in the center become positioned further from the blood supply at the periphery of the mass. At some point, the cells at the center become too far removed from the nearest blood vessel

to survive by nutritional diffusion. They die, creating a lumen. Their intracellular products make the lumen hypertonic, which transudates fluid into the lumen. This in turn creates a hydrostatic pressure, producing bone resorption, clinical expansion, and sometimes mild paresthesia or pain. As additional epithelial cells die off and are sloughed into the lumen, their contents perpetuate the hypertonic state and the hydrostatic pressure. The cell membranes and nuclear membranes of these sloughed cells are high in cholesterol, hence the common finding of cholesterol clefts in the lumen or even in the walls of many cysts.

General examination of a pt with suspected heart disease should include vital signs (respiratory rate, pulse, blood pressure), skin color (e.g., cyanosis, pallor), clubbing, edema, evidence of decreased perfusion (cool and sweaty skin), and hypertensive changes in optic fundi. Examine aneurysm. An ankle-brachial brachial index (systolic BP at ankle divided by arm systolic BP) < 0.9 indicates lower extremity arterial obstructive disease. Jugular Venous Pressure Jugular venous pressure indicates the pressure of the right atrium The jugular venous pressure is normally 6 to 8 cm H2O (1 mm Hg is equal to 1.36 cm H2O) and is best evaluated d with the patient supine su at an angle of 45 or more The normal waves profile contains an a deflection, which reflects atrial contraction; c deflection, closure of tricuspid valve; followed by the x descent, downward motion of right ventricle; and v deflection, atrial filling deflection while the tricuspid valve is closed followed by the y descent, representing ventricular filling as the tricuspid valve opens abdomen for evidence of hepatomegaly, ascites, or abdominal aortic

Diagnosis of Rheumatic Fever Clinical diagnosis is the main method of diagnosis supported by laboratory evidence of streptococcal infection (KCET-2000, 01). o Laboratory tests may help in the diagnosis of RF but all of them are non-specific. 2. CRITERIA OF DIAGNOSIS (Updated Jones criteria) (MAHE-01, KCET-03, PGI-95) Major Criteria: 5 Criteria 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Carditis Migratory polyarthritis Sydenhams chorea (Rheumatic chorea) Subcutaneous nodules Erythema marginatum 3. Migratory Polyarthritis o

The mitral valve is involved most frequently, followed by the aortic valve. Diseased valve is susceptible to bacterial endocarditis.

Found in 75 percent of cases. Most often affecting large joints like ankles, wrists, knees, and elbows over a period of days. It does not affect small joints of the hands or feet and seldom involves the hip joints. It is extremely painful, leaving one joint to start inflammation in the other joint (migratory), causing pain and swelling. Sydenham's chorea (Rheumatic chorea) Occurs in less than 10 % of patients with rheumatic fever. The latent period between the onset of the initiating streptococcal infection and the onset of Sydenham's chorea may be as long as several months. Clinically the patient shows involuntary rapid, jerky, irregular movements that tends to occur in the limbs or the face, these movements may cause falling of things from the patient's hand. 4. Subcutaneous nodules Present in less than 10 % of cases. They are found over extensor surfaces of the joints, most often in patients with long-standing rheumatic heart disease.

Minor Criteria 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Fever Arthralgia Elevated acute phase reactants ( c- reactive proteins) Prolonged P-R interval in ECG Evidence of a recent streptococcal infection (ASOT, Throat culture) At least 80% of patients with acute RF have an elevated anti-streptolysin-O titer at presentation To diagnose Rheumatic fever: According to Jones criteria, Either 2 major criteria one major + two minor criteria Plus evidence of an recent streptococcal infection for both 1. Carditis Pancarditis involving the pericardium, myocardium, and endocardium. Clinical manifestations includes: Sinus tachycardia, the murmur of mitral regurgitation, an S3 gallop, a pericardial friction rub, and cardiomegaly, and may be evidence of heart failure. ECG may show prolonged PR interval. Outcome of Rheumatic carditis o Healing of the rheumatic valvulitis may cause fibrous complication of the valve. of thickening and rheumatic fever, adhesion, resulting in the most serious valvular stenosis and/or regurgitation

TREATMENT 1. Antibiotics Therapy immediately: a complete 10-day course in adults Oral penicillin V (500 mg twice daily). Erythromycin (250 mg four times daily) for those with penicillin allergy. Benzathine penicillin G (a single intramuscular injection of 1.2 million units) may be used to prevent colonization in the throat.

GENERAL MEDICINE Cardiology


2. Salicylates for rheumatic arthritis: Given in excitement, fever, anemia,

paroxysmal

increasing doses up to 2 g four times daily. For 4 to 6 weeks and gradually tapered to prevent rebound. 3. Prednisone ( Corticosteroids) for rheumatic carditis in doses up to 30 mg four times daily in severe cases, as the patient improves, salicylates can be added during the tapering of the steroid dose; this may require 4 to 6 weeks. Secondary Prophylaxis: (According to American Heart Association and of the World Health Organization) To prevent subsequent colonization of the upper respiratory tract with group A streptococci, and prevent recurrence of rheumatic fever. Benzathine penicillin G (Intramuscular), 1.2 million units every 4 weeks Penicillin V (250 mg twice daily) orally Sulfadiazine (1.0 g daily) orally Duration of prophylactic treatment: Should be individualized but at least for 5 years. High risk group may be for life (patients with rheumatic heart disease). OUTCOME OF RHEUMATIC FEVER Complete healing. Residual damage to the heart valves. The heart may escape the first attack of rheumatic fever without residual damage, but rarely escape the second attack, so prophylactic treatment is mandatory after the first attack. Rx

tachycardia, pregnancy etc. Signs (MAHE-01) Right ventricular lift Loud S1 Opening snap (OS) follows A2 by 0.060.12 s Diastolic rumbling murmur with presystolic accentuation in sinus rhythm Duration of murmur correlates with severity of obstruction Diagnosis ECG Typically shows atrial fibrillation (AF) or left atrial (LA) enlargement when sinus rhythm is present. Right-axis deviation and RV hypertrophy in the presence of pulmonary hypertension. CXR Shows LA and RV enlargement and Kerley B lines. Echocardiogram: Most useful non invasive test; shows inadequate separation, calcification and thickening of valve leaflets and sub valvular apparatus, and LA enlargement. Complications Hemoptysis, pulmonary embolism, pulmonary infection, systemic embolization; endocarditis is uncommon in pure MS.

ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION


MI occurs if sudden decrease in coronary blood flow following a thrombotic occlusion of a coronary artery previously narrowed by atherosclerosis. (AIIMS-93, MAHE-94) CLINICAL PRESENTATION In about 50% of patients there is a precipitating factor as vigorous physical exercise, emotional stress, or a medical or surgical illness. Severe chest pain described as heavy, squeezing, and crushing is the most common symptom. Site is central chest and/or the epigastrium, sometimes it radiates to the arms. (AIPG-97) Less common sites of radiation include the abdomen, back, lower jaw, and neck. Usually accompanied by weakness, sweating, nausea, vomiting, anxiety, and a sense of impending death. EXAMINATION Patients are anxious and restless, trying to relieve the pain by moving about in bed, altering their position, and stretching. Pallor is associated with perspiration and coolness of the extremities. May be changes in blood pressure, and pulse.

TREATMENT (KCET-08) Pre-hospital care: rapid transfer to the hospital with a trained team capable of resuscitative maneuvers, including defibrillation. Hospital management: Emergency treatment: Aspirin, oxygen inhalation, SL nitrates, Intravenous beta blockers and morphine to control pain. Decrease infarct size: o Thrompolysis: plasminogen o Using activator tissue (tPA), or

streptokinase intravenously. Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty Drug therapy: o o Heparin: anticoagulant. Beta-blockers. (PTCA): Can also decrease infarcted area.

INVESTIGATIONS (AIIMS-92, AIPG-95, KCET-02) ECG: Typical changes in ST segment and QRS complex. Serum cardiac markers: Creatine phosphokinase (CK): rises within 4 to 8 h and generally returns to normal by 48 to 72 h. (CKMB: specific for myocardial muscle). Cardiac-specific troponins: Proteins found in cardiac muscle, normally undetectable but rises over 20 times in MI. (KAR-02) Other non-specific markers: Raised white cell count, ESR, SGOT, LDH. Two-dimensional Abnormal wall motion. Myocardial perfusion imaging with thallium 201 or technetium 99m: Reveal a cold spot. echocardiography: Malignant hypertension Blood pressure above 200/140, the condition is defined by the presence of papilledema, usually accompanied by retinal hemorrhages and exudates, rather than by the absolute pressure level. Labile hypertension Patients who are sometimes, but not always, have arterial pressures in the hypertensive range. They are considered to have borderline BP.

De Quervains Disease Virus infections which usually affect middle age women, often in course of influenza or mumps The gland became enlarged and painful with fever, pain on swallowing and radiating to the ears. The onset is sudden but the condition subsides months Most cases required no treatment apart from analgesics in severe cases giving short course of steroids for about a month. 2. Hashimotos Disease The etiology of this disease is not known and the most common form of thyroiditis. It is characterized by enlargement of the thyroid with or without pain and ACUTE SUPPURATIVE THYROIDITIS tenderness It is common in women and in most often seen at the time of the menopause. Hashimotos thyroiditis is believed to be autoimmune disease in which patients became sensitized against their own thyroid tissues and form antithyroid antibodies The relationship to thyroid function is variable but in the early stages of the disease. Some patients pass through brief hyperthyroid state while later in the disease hypothyroidism become more common Treatment appropriate for most patients consists of giving suppressive doses of thyroid hormones. Operation is indicated for marked pressure symptoms, suspected malignancy and for cosmetic reason. Benign Tumours of the Thyroid 3.

Linear Energy Transfer (LET) is the rate of loss of energy from a particle as it moves along its track through matter. When physical size and charge of a particle is greater, the velocity is low, and greater is its LET and vice versa. Electromagnetic Radiation It is the movement of energy (without mass) through space as a combination of electric and magnetic fields. Generated when the velocity of an electrically charged particle is altered E.g.: gamma rays, x-rays, UV rays, visible light, infrared radiation, microwave, and radio waves (MCET-2010) High energy radiations like cosmic rays, gamma rays, and x-rays are capable of ionizing. These radiations require a dualistic theory. Quantum theory or particle concept Wave theory or wave concept (Best expressed) PROPERTIES OF X-RAYS 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Cannot be reflected, refracted (MAHE-95) 8. Penetrating power: penetrate liquids, solids, and gases. The composition of the substance determines whether x-rays penetrate or pass through or are absorbed 9. Absorption: absorbed by matter.

Tungsten converts kinetic energy of electrons into x-ray photons Copper o o Focal spot The electrons travel towards a small rectangular area on anode called focal spot. Focal spot - sharpness of image & vice versa (COMEDK-2008) Large - no sharp image (BHU-2007, MCET2010) Small - heat on target (AIIMS-2000) Placed at an angle of 200 to the electron beam Projection of the focal spot perpendicular to the electron beam (effective focal spot) is smaller than the actual size of the focal spot. Actual focal spot 1 x 3mm reduced to 1 x 1mm (COMEDK-06) The two methods of dissipating heat from focal spot are: Line focus principle: The target is inclined about 20 degrees in relation to central xray beam thus decreasing the actual focal spot size of 1x3mm to the effective focal spot size of 1x1mm(MAHE-2000, COMEDK-2008) By using a rotating anode, the tungsten target is in form of a beveled disk that rotates when the tube is in operation. (APPG-2005) Heel effect (MAHE-2K) When cathode rays strike anode target, x-rays with high intensity are found towards cathode side of central ray & x-rays with low intensity are found towards anode. Due to this effect, the target should not be inclined more than 20 degrees in relation to central ray.

Timer controls the length of time high voltage applied & time during which tube current flows & produces x-rays. Failure of the filament (burn out) is a common source of malfunction of x-ray tube. To minimize burn out the timing circuit first sends a current through the filament for half second to bring it to proper operating temperature. After the filament is heated, the timer then applies power to high-voltage circuit.

GROWTH & DEVELOPMENT


GROWTH Growth is an increase in size Growth may also be defined as normal changes in the amount of living substance. Growth is a quantitative aspect of biologic development and is measured in units of increase per unit time. E.g. Cm per years, gm per day Generally growth is equated with increase in size, but there are instances in which results in decrease of size. E.g. Thymus gland after puberty DEVELOPMENT Development is progress towards maturity. Development may also be defined as all the natural sequential series of events between fertilization of ovum and the adult size. The important aspects of development are increase in size (growth), cellular differentiation and morphogenesis. MATURATION The stabilization of the adult stage brought about by the growth and development is called Maturation. The changes associated with aging i.e degeneration and senility are considered by some as part of maturation, while other consider as a part of development METHODS OF STUDYING PHYSICAL GROWTH Opinion Opinion can be considered as a calculated guess based on once experience. E.g. One may be able to guess which one of the two siblings may be taller by assessing their previous growth. Observation Observations are useful for studying all or none phenomenon. E.g. During a survey of school children of a particular class, it was observed that class II div. I malocclusion was common. Rating Rating makes use of comparisons with conventional scales or classification. As in all 1. Ranking

biologic sciences normal values ranges between two extreme ends, the average of which is considered as a guideline or norm. Each individual can be compared with these norms.

It is the method of arranging the data in an orderly sequence according to its value. E.g. the ranks of children were determined on the basis of their performance in the annual examination.

Quantitative Examination Direct data Direct growth data are measurements taken on the living individual or cadaver by means of calipers, scales, measurement tapes etc. Indirect data Indirect data are growth measurements taken from the images or reproductions of the individual E.g. Measurements made from photograph dental casts or cephalograms Derived Data These data are obtained by comparing two measurements E.g. the mandible of a child grew 2 mm between 7 and 8 years of age METHODS OF GATHERING GROWTH DATA 1. 2. 3. Longitudinal Cross sectional Semi longitudinal Longitudinal Measurements of a particular person or group of persons made at regular intervals through the passage of time are considered as longitudinal method of gathering the growth data.

Disadvantages 1. 2. 3. 2. Time Expenses Attrition METHODS OF STUDYING BONE GROWTH 1. 2. Cross Sectional A different individual or a different sample is studied at the different periods at a particular time to derive at the data. Collecting the data by measuring the height of a group of 7 years old boys and on the same day, at the same school, measure the height of another group of 8 years old boys. Changes in the height of the boys between the ages of 7 and 8 years can be assessed immediately from the data collected. Advantages 1. Speed: Unlike the longitudinal study, the data required for the study can be collected immediately. 2. Cost: As the study can be completed in a short period of time, it is less expensive. 3. Sample size: It is much easier to get larger sample and there is not attrition in the size of the sample. 3. Disadvantages 1. It must always be assumed that the groups 2. being measured and compared are similar. Cross-sectional group averages tend to obscure individual variations. This is particularly true when studying the timing of developmental events. E.g. The onset of pubescence or the adolescent growth spurt. 3. Semi Longitudinal The two methods are combined by some workers to seek advantages of each. In this way, one might compress 15 years of study into 3 years of gathering data, each sub sample including children studied for the same number of years, but started at different ages. E.g. 1. 2.

In 1736, Beclhier reported that the bones of animals which have eaten the madder plant were studied with red color. The bones contained a band of red color followed by an unstained band. Alizarin, Procion, Tetracycline dyes were subsequently to study the bone growth.

Radioisotopes are elements which are used as in vivo markers for studying growth. Such materials are injected and then after some time are located within the growing bones by means of Geiger counter or the use of Auto radiographic techniques. E.g. Ca 45 and P32

Bjork devised an ingenious method of implanting tiny bits of tantalum or biologically inert reference markers for serial cephalometric analysis. This method allows precise orientation of serial cephalometric and information on the amount and sites of bone growth. This method is the most useful because bone does not grow interstitially and therefore implants placed inside a bone are stable

Comparative anatomy is the study of evolutionary concepts leading to higher forms. Basic principles common to growth in all species are first recognized and defined by studies in comparative anatomy This knowledge of comparative anatomy helps us in carrying out most of the experiments of growth and development.

5. Roentgenographic Cephalometrics Cephalometrics contributes to the major role in the study of craniofacial growth. Serial cephalometrics of the same patient over a period of time gives the direction and amount of growth. 6. Natural Makers The persistence of certain developments features of bone has led to their use as natural makers. By means of serial radiography, trabeculae, , nutrient canals and lines of arrested growth can be used for ref. To study the deposition, resorption res or the remodeling changes. MECHANISMS OF BONE GROWTH Deposition & Resorption On one side of bony cortex new bone is added on other side, bone is taken away. Deposition occurs on the side facing the direction of growth Resorption is seen on the surface facing away from the direction of bone growth Uniform growth is impossible and differential growth is a necessity The best example is the expanding V principle. Remodeling Growth site Vs Growth Centre

The determinants of growth reside in the outer muscles, integument, mucosa, bloo blood vessels, nerves, connective tissue and the brain. The varying activities and rate of growth of the fields are the basis for the differential growth processes that produce bones or irregular shape.

Some growth fields have particular roles in the growth of bones they are called growth sites. E.g. the condyle, maxillary tuberosity, the synchondrosis of basicra basicranium, the sutures, and the alveolar bone. These special growth sites do not cause all of the growth rowth in their bone, for all other inside and outside surfaces must actively participate in the overall growth Some growth sites have been called growth centres a term which implies that a special area somehow controls the overall growth of the bone. The growth centre also implies that the force, energy, or the motor for a bone resides primarily or solely with in its growth center. E.g. the epiphyseal plates of long bones

Facial bones are not enlarged by generalized surface accretion that merely follows existing contours they do not get bigger as a balloon enlarges, for their shape changes.

Remodeling involves simultaneous deposition and resorption on all inner and outer surfaces of the entire bone.

Remodeling a basic part of the growth process not only provides regional changes in shape, dimensions and proportions it also produces regional adjustments that adapt to the developing function of the bone and its various growing soft tissues.

Growth Fields All surfaces, inside and outside of every bone are covered by an irregular pattern of growth fields comprised of various soft tissue osteogenic ic membranes or cartilages. Bone does not grow itself; it is grown by the environment of soft tissue growth fields. The genetic program is not contained within the hard bone Growth Movements Two kinds of growth movements are seen during the enlargement of craniofacial bones: Cortical Drift, Displacement . Drift: Combination of deposition and resorption result in growth movement toward the depository surface. E.g. if an Implant is placed on the surface bone it gradually gets embedded in the bone.

The balance of trust with mistrust depends largely on the quality of maternal relationship. Such patients are highly uncooperative & frightened

Moves es away from mother and develops a sense of individual identity Toddler learns to talk, walk, use toilets (control over sphincters) and do things for thems themselves self control, confidence Says no to every parental wishes Parents must not overprotective Reassurance develops confidence If denied autonomy, the child will turn angry and shamed Parental over control control---muscular and anal impotencedoubt Separation threatened Dental visit provide options to the child & make him feel more important, let mother be with of mother leaves the child

Stage 3: Initiative v/s Guilt (3-6 6 yrs) Greater autonomy, increased physical activities Initiates motor and intellectual activities, planning, and undertaking tasks. Imitates the people he likes / respects Depends on how much freedom child will get & intellectual curiosity is satisfied Play with peers and learn to interact with environment Feels guilt over failure to attain goals, which makes the child feel unable to be independent Develops sibling rivalry The castration complex occurring in this stage is due to the child's erotic fantasies. Dental visit - more curious about dentists office, they will tolerate being separated from mother Stage 1: Basic Trust v/s Mistrust (0-1 yrs) Dependency on mother Strong bond between mother & child Developing basic trust in the world Positive outcome - secure attachment with parents and environment Negative outcome: inattentive mother maternal deprivation syndrome Stage ge 4: Industry v/s Inferiority (6-11 yrs) Achieves mastery on skills Enters School - organized program of learning, ability to work Sets up competition in the competitive world The fundamentals of technology are developed Learns the pleasure of work completion

Failure results in isolated, less conscious, inferiority - if discriminated, compared in schools Dental visit: try to please dentist and parents & are easy to treat Decrease in influence of parents as role models with simultaneous increase in peer group influence Beginning of orthodontic treatment. Wear appliance regularly Stage 5: Identity v/s Role Confusion (or Diffusion") (12-21 yrs) Development of personnel identity The adolescent is newly concerned with how they appear to others. Ego identity (confidence that the inner sameness and continuity) as evidenced in the promise of a career. Preoccupation with appearance Easily influenced by people considered as idols Increased Group identity and peer group influence Inability to separate from peers results in confusion, inability to make decision & choices. Most orthodontic treatments carried out in this age more conscious about appearance Stage 6: Intimacy v/s Isolation (21-40 yrs) Development of intimacy (attain intimate relationship with others) Involved in intense and long term relations Loves to work Tries to achieve goals The avoidance of these experiences leads to isolation and self-absorption. Now true genitality can fully develop. The counterpart of intimacy is dinstantiation, which is the readiness to isolate and destroy forces and people considered as competitors Inability to develop identity---fear to form a committed relationship The danger at this stage is isolation which can lead to severe character problems. Stage 7: Generativity v/s Stagnation (40-65 yrs) Generativity is the concern in establishing and guiding the next generation. Fruitful parenting Look outside one & care for others Generativity cant be achieved by simply having or wanting children.

Erickson stated that adults need children as much as children need adults Generativity is expressed through Sociallyvalued work and disciples Creation of living legacy If not - self concerned people, isolation, and absence of intimacy all of which results in stagnation

Stage 8: Ego Integrity v/s Despair (>65yrs) Ego integrity is the ego's accumulated assurance of his capacity for order and meaning. It is the sense of satisfaction of achieving goals or success Despair is a loss of hope producing misanthropy and disgust Signified by a fear of one's own death, as well as the loss of self-sufficiency, and of loved partners and friends Erikson: Healthy children won't fear life if their elders have integrity enough not to fear death.

COGNITIVE THEORY (KCET-99) Proposed by Jean Piaget in 1952 According to Piaget, the environment does not shape child behavior but the child and adult actively seek to understand the environment This process of adaptation is made up of 3 functional Piaget 1. variants 4 stages Assimilation, in cognitive Accommodation and Equilibration describes development Sensory motor stage (0-2 years) Reconstructs objects Memory by mental images Develops rudimentary concepts of objects Objects in the environment are permanent; do not disappear when the child is not looking at them. Communication between a child at this stage and an adult is extremely limited because of the childs simple concepts and lack of language capabilities. Little ability to interpret sensory data and a limited ability to project forward or backward in time. CLASSICAL CONDITIONING THEORY 2. Preoperational (3-6 years) Good language development Capacity to form mental symbols represent things and events Children learn to use words to symbolize the objects. Understand the world in the way they sense it through its primary senses: sense of vision, hearing, smell, taste or feel Child learns to classify things Solves problem, but cannot explain how it solved Characteristics o Egocentrism child is incapable of assuming another persons point of view. o Animism investing used to the by inanimate teams dental objects with life.

The Basic Principles 1. 2. Extinction Before extinction Classical conditioning - a stimulus leads to a response Operant conditioning - a response becomes a further stimulus. Types 1. Positive reinforcement If a pleasant consequence follows a response Ex. reward for co-operation 2. After extinction 3. Negative reinforcement Withdrawal of an unpleasant stimulus after a response Ex. Stopping treatment if crying Omission (time out) Removal of a pleasant stimulus after a particular response Ex. Taking out of favorite toy 4. Punishment When an unpleasant stimulus is presented after a response Ex. Sending mother out of operatory 3. Operant behaviors are voluntary The consequence of a behavior is in itself a stimulus that hat can affect future behavior Teach new behaviours (behaviour shaping)

Physiological Needs: basic needs - air, water, food, sleep, sex, etc. When not satisfied - feel sickness, irritation, pain, discomfort

Phobia Types of Cry (Elsbach, 1963) (KCET-04) (KCET Frightened cry - Usually accompanied by torrent of tears, breath-catching catching sobs Hurt cry - Initially a child in discomfort, shows a single tear filling from corner of the eye Obstinate cry - characterized by siren-like siren wail Compensatory cry - is a sort of coping mechanism Fear Fear is a reaction to a known danger (MAHE(MAHE 94) At birth - is a primary response acquired soon after birth such as startle response

Safety needs: stability & constancy in a chaotic world. Ex. security of home & family, insurance policies etc

Social needs/Love & belonging needs: Loving and caring partners, children, friends, frien society Esteem needs: Self esteem by mastery of tasks, tasks respect from others. The negative version of these needs is low self-esteem esteem and inferiority complexes.

BIOSTATISTICS
INTRODUCTION Statistics is a field of study concerned with Collection, organization, summarization and analysis of data Drawing of inferences about a body of data when only a part of the data is observed Statisticians try to interpret and communicate the results to others The term statistics is said to be derived from statista or statistic. Italian word statista means statesman German word statistic means political state John Graunt Father of Health Statistics (MAHE-01) Vital statistics is the branch of biostatistics which deals with the births, deaths and marriage (KAR-04) DEFINITIONS Statistics can be defined as, Principles collection, and methods for the and presentation, analysis

USES OF STATISTICS IN DENTISTRY 1. To assess the state of oral health in the community and to determine the availability and utilization of dental care facilities. 2. To indicate the basic factors underlying the state of oral health by diagnosing the community problems. 3. To determine success or failure of specific oral health care programs or to evaluate the program action. 4. To promote health legislation and in creating administrative standards for oral health COMMON STATISTICAL TERMS Constant - Quantities that do not vary e.g. in biostatistics, mean, standard deviation are considered constant for a population Variable - Characteristics which takes different values for different person, place or thing such as height, weight, blood pressure 1. Quantitative Variables It can be measured in the usual sense. Ex: 1. 2. 3. The heights of adult males The weights of preschool children The ages of patients seen in a dental clinic i. Discrete Variable o Characterized can assume o Ex: 1. The number of daily admissions to a general hospital 2. The decayed, number missing of or by gaps or interruptions in the values that it and find solutions to such

interpretation of numerical data or The science and art of dealing with variation in such a way as to obtain reliable results Biostatistics is application of statistics to health problems GENERAL APPLICATIONS OF BIOSTATISTICS 1. 2. To define what is normal or healthy in a population. Ex: pulse rate/ min. Statistical difference between means of two variables. Ex: mean plaque scores for two groups. 3. Co-relation between two variables. Ex: sugar intake & Dental caries; Fluoride concentration in drinking water & Fluorosis. 4. Usefulness of sera & vaccines in the field. % of deaths among vaccinated compared to % of deaths among unvaccinated. 5. To test the efficacy of different treatments. Ex: Surgical management vs. medical management of angina patients ii.

filled teeth per child in an elementary school Continuous Variable o Can assume any value within a specified relevant interval of values assumed by the variable

o For example: 1. 2. 3. 2. Height Weight Skull circumference Population and Sample

15

Population: The whole collection of individuals that one intends to study. Sample: A representative part of the population.

Qualitative Variables Many characteristics are not capable of being measured. Some of them can be ordered (called ordinal) and some of them cant be ordered (called nominal) Ex: 1. Classification of people into socio-economic (ordinal) 2. Hair color (nominal) groups

Randomization: An important way to make the sample representative.

Random By chance!

Random event The event may occur or may not occur in one experiment. Before one experiment, nobody is sure whether the event occurs or not Probability Measure the possibility of occurrence of a random event. A random event P(A): Probability of the random event A P(A)=1 , if an event always occurs P(A)=0, if an event never occurs

Population - Population includes all persons, events and objects under study. It may be finite or infinite.

Sample - Defined as a part of a population generally selected so as to be representative of the population whose variables are under study

Parameter - It is a constant that describes a population e.g. in a college there are 40% girls. This describes the population, hence it is a parameter. Parameter and Statistic Parameter: A measure of population or a measure of the distribution of population. Parameter is usually presented by Greek letter such as , -- Parameters are unknown usually. To know the parameter of a population, we need a sample Statistic: A measure of sample or a measure of the distribution of sample. Statistic is usually presented by Latin letter such as s and p. Sampling Error The difference between observed value and true value Three kinds of error 1. 2. 3. Systematic error (fixed) Measurement error (random) Sampling error (random)

Statistic - Statistic is a constant that describes the sample e.g. out of 200 students of the same college 45% girls. This 45% will be statistic as it describes the sample

Attribute - A characteristic based on which the population can be described into categories or class. Ex. gender, caste, religion

BASIC CONCEPTS Homogeneity and Variation Homogeneity: All individuals have similar values or belong to same category. Ex: all individuals are Indians, women, middle age (30~40 years old), work in a textile mill homogeneity in nationality, gender, age and occupation. Variation: the differences in height, weight etc

MEASUREMENT SCALES Different measurement scales allow for different levels of exactness, depending upon the characteristics of the variables being measured. The four types of scales available in statistical analysis are Nominal A scale that measures data by name only For and example, xample, so forth), religious political affiliation affiliation DATA (measured as Jewish, Christian, Buddhist, (measured as Democratic, Republican, Libertarian, and so forth), or style of automobile (measured as sedan, sports car, station wagon, van, and so forth).

placed, which makes the interval scale different from ratio.

4.

Ratio Similar to an interval scale, a ratio scale includes a 0 measurement that signifies the point at which the characteristic being measured vanishes (absolute 0). For example, income (measured in dollars, with 0 equal to no income at all), years of formal education, items sold, and so forth, are all ratio scales.

1.

A collective recording of observations either numeric or otherwise is called Data Understanding the he data is crucial in bio statistics, since the type of data determines the selection of appropriate test of significance

2.

Ordinal Measures by rank order only. Other than rough order, no precise measurement is possible. For example, medical condition (measured as satisfactory, fair, poor, guarded, serious, and critical); socialsocial economic status (measured as lower class, lower-middle middle class, middle class, upper uppermiddle class, upper class); or military officer rank (measured as lieutenant, captain, major, lieutenant colonel, colonel, general). Such rankings are not absolute but rather relative to each other: Major is higher than captain, but we cannot measure the exact difference in numerical terms. I.

Qualitative Data or Categorical Data or Discrete Data This data exists in mutually exclusive categories It deals with attributes or qualities of sampling units 1. Nominal Data The categories are not ordered but simply have names. variables have neither measurement scales nor direction Examples include blood group (A, B, AB, and O) and marital status (married/widowed/single etc.)

3.

Interval Measures by using equal intervals. Here The as is you can compare differences scale, The between pairs of values. Fahrenheit the temperature scale. measured in degrees, is an interval inte scale, centigrade temperature difference between 50 and 60 degrees centigrade (10 degrees) equals the temperature difference between 80 and 90 degrees centigrade (10 degrees). Note that the 0 in each of these scales is arbitrarily

2. Ordinal (Ranked) Data The categories are ordered in some way. Characterized in terms of more than two variables and have a clearly implied direction but the data are not measured on a measurement scale (KCET-09) Examples include disease staging systems (advanced, moderate, mild, none), students degree and of pain (severe, medals. 3. moderate, mild, none) ranking of Olympic (MAHE-97) 3. Dichotomous data (Binary variables) The variable can have only two values Examples Dead/Alive disease/Patient disease II.

Occur when there is no limitation on the values that the variable can take. Ex: weight or height

Data can be obtained by means of questionnaires, interviews, or clinical examinations Secondary data Obtained from pre-existing records It is Second hand information Data can be obtained from govt. records, hospital records etc.

Defined as the total process of collecting, compiling and publishing demographic, economic and social data pertaining at a specified time or times, to all persons in a country or a delimited territory The first regular census in India was recorded in 1881. Census is conducted for every 10 years in India (MAHE-99) Recent census in India was recorded in February, 2011. Census act was passed by the parliament of India in1948. Census Commissioner of India is the chief officer for census enumeration.

Numerical Data These occur when the variable takes some numerical value The observations follow a direction and are quantified on a scale of measurement. Continuous data not only show the position of the different observations relative to each other but also show the extent to which one observation differs from another. It enables the investigators to make more detailed inferences than do nominal or ordinal data 1. Discrete Data Occur when the variable can only take certain whole numbers but not fractions These are often counts of numbers of events, such as the number of visits to a hospital in a year or the number of episodes of illness in an individual over the last five years.

Advantages o Complete information

Properties of the Median Properties of the Mean Uniqueness For a given set of data there is one and only one mean Simplicity It is easy to understand and to compute Affected by extreme values. Since all values enter into the computation 2. Median (UPSC-01, KAR-02, AIIMS-04) When ordering the data, it is the observation that divides the set of observations into two equal parts such that half of the data are before it and the other are after it. If n is odd, the median will be the middle of observations. It will be the (n+1)/2th ordered observation. When n = 11, then the median is the 6th observation. If n is even, there are two middle observations. The median will be the mean of these two middle observations. It will be the mean of the [(n/2)th, (n/2 +1)th] ordered observation. When n = 12, then the median is the 6.5th observation, which is an observation halfway between the 6th and 7th ordered observation. Calculation of Median o Observations are arranged in the ascending or descending order of magnitude & then the middle value of the observations is Median. o In case of even number of observations, the average of the two middle values is Median TYPES OF VARIABILITY There are three types of variability Properties of the Mode Sometimes, it is not unique. It may be used for describing qualitative data. 3. Uniqueness For a given set of data there is one and only one median Simplicity It is easy to calculate It is not affected by extreme values as is the mean Mode (KAR-03, AIIMS-08) The value in a series of observations, which occurs with the greatest frequency Example o Number of decayed teeth in 10 children: 2, 2, 4, 1, 3, 0, 10, 2, 3, 8 Mean = 34 / 10 = 3.4 Median = (0,1,2,2,2,3,3,4,8,10) = 2+3 /2 = 2.5 Mode = 2 (3 Times)

Real Variability Such variability is more than the normal biological limits The cause of difference is not inherent or natural and is due to some external factors Ex: Difference in incidence of cancer among smokers and non smokers may be due to excessive smoking and not due to chance only 3. Experimental Variability It occurs due to the experimental study i. Observer Error o The investigator may alter some information or not record the measurement correctly ii. Instrumental Error o This is due to defects in the measuring instrument o Both the observer and the instrument error are called non sampling error iii.

The more samples we have, the more likely we are to observe greater extreme values. Therefore, the larger range will likely be observed as we increase the sample size. 3. It is very sensitive to the two extreme values and ignores the rest of the observations. 4. It is not meaningful for unordered qualitative data. 2.

NORMAL DISTRIBUTION OR NORMAL CURVE Also called Gaussian curve, after Gauss, who observed it. (KAR-03)

Frequency increases from one side reaches its highest and decreases exactly the way it had increased The highest point denotes mean, median and mode which coincide Mean 1 SD includes 68.27% of all observations. Such observations are fairly common Mean 2 SD includes 95.45% of all observations i.e. by convention values beyond this range are uncommon or rare. Their chances of being normal is 100 95.45 % i.e. only 4.55%. Mean 3 SD includes 99.73%. Such values are very rare. There chance of being normal is 0.27% only These limits on either side of measurement are called Confidence Limits The look of frequency distribution curve may vary depending on mean and SD. Thus it becomes necessary to standardize it. Eg- One study has SD as 3 and other has SD as 2, thus it becomes difficult to compare them Thus normal curve is standardized by using the unit of standard deviation to place any measurement with reference to mean. The curve that emerges through this procedure is called Standard Normal Curve

Greater the standard deviation, greater will be the magnitude of dispersion from mean Small standard deviation means a high degree of uniformity of the observations Usually measurement beyond the range of 2 SD are considered rare or unusual in any distribution Uses o It summarizes the deviation of a large distribution from its mean. o It helps in finding the suitable size larger o It helps of sample sample in e.g. to greater draw of the deviation indicates the need for meaningful conclusions calculation whether standard error which helps us to determine difference between two samples is by chance or real 4.

Mean median mode coincide (KAR-99, AIPG09) The unit of SD here is relative or standard normal deviate and is denoted by Z Z=

With the help of Z value we can find the area under the curve from a table This area helps to give the P value MEASURES OF THE SHAPE OF A DISTRIBUTION The measures of the shape of a distribution are the coefficients of skewness and kurtosis. Skewness (sk) A measure of asymmetry of a frequency distribution It shows if deviations from the mean are larger on one side than the other side of the distribution For a symmetric distribution skewness is equal to zero.

The direction of the tail of the curve indicates the direction of the skewed distribution. If the tail of the curve is toward the right, the distribution is said to be positively skewed. Mean is greater than Median

Properties of Standard Normal Curve Smooth bell shaped Perfectly symmetrical Based on infinite number of observations thus curve does not touch x axis Mean is zero SD is always 1 Total area under the curve is 1

If the tail of the curve is toward the left, the distribution is negatively skewed. Mean is less than Median MEASURES OF RELATIVE POSITION Measures of relative position

include

percentiles and z-value. Percentile value (p) It is of an observation yi, in a data set has 100p% of observations smaller than yi and has 100(1-p) % of observations greater than yi.

In a skewed distribution, the mean always follows the tail of the curve. From the tail of the curve to the apex (mode), the mean, median, and mode are always in alphabetical order.

A lower quartile is the 25th percentile, an upper quartile is 75th percentile, and the median is the 50th percentile. (AIPG03,AIIMS-06)

Kurtosis (kt) A measure of flatness or steepness of a distribution, or a measure of the heaviness of the tails of a distribution. If observations follow a normal distribution then kurtosis is equal to zero. A distribution with positive kurtosis has a large frequency of observations close to the mean and thin tails.

z-value The deviation of an observation from the mean in standard deviation units CORRELATION COEFFICIENT (r) The quantity r, called the linear correlation coefficient, measures the strength and the direction of a linear relationship between two variables. The linear correlation coefficient is sometimes referred to as the Pearson product moment correlation coefficient in honor of its developer Karl Pearson. The mathematical formula for computing r is

A distribution with a negative kurtosis has thicker tails and a lower frequency of observations close to the mean than does the normal distribution Where n is the number of pairs of data. The value of r is such that -1 < r < +1. The + and signs are used for positive linear correlations and negative linear correlations, respectively. Positive correlation: If x and y have a strong positive linear correlation, r is close to +1. An r value of exactly +1 indicates a perfect positive fit. Positive values indicate a relationship between x and y variables such that as values for x increase, values for y also increase.

Negative correlation: If x and y have a strong negative linear correlation, r is close to -1. An r value of exactly -1 indicates a perfect negative fit. Negative values indicate a relationship between x and y such that as values for x increase, values for y decrease. No correlation: If there is no linear correlation or a weak linear correlation, r is close to 0. A value near zero means that there is a random, nonlinear variables Note that r is a dimensionless quantity; that is; it does not depend on the units employed. A perfect correlation of 1 occurs only when the data points all lie exactly on a straight line. If r = +1, the slope of this line is positive. If r = -1, the slope of this line is negative. A correlation greater than 0.8 is generally described as strong, whereas a correlation less than 0.5 is generally described as weak. COEFFICIENT OF REGRESSION Regression, sciences, is as often practiced to in earth the attempt establish a relationship between the two SAMPLING

29

Regression or correlation can be bivariate (between 2 variables, x and y) or multivariate, between greater than two variables. Regression is interested in the form of the relationship, whereas correlation is more focused simply on the strength of a relationship.

It is not possible to include each and every member of population as it will be time consuming, costly, laborious, therefore sampling is done

Sampling is a process by which some unit of a population or universe are selected for the study and by subjecting it to statistical computation, conclusions are drawn about the population from which these units are drawn

The sample will be a representative of entire population only It is sufficiently large It is unbiased Such sample will have its statistics almost equal to parameters of entire population Two main characteristics of a representative sample are

mathematical relationship between variables. This can be used to extrapolate or to predict one variable given the other. For example, a relationship exists between the frequency of occurrence of a given size flood or earthquake, and the size of the event. Given flood data, and assuming constancy of system operation then one can predict how big a size of a certain frequency will be, i.e. how big the 100 year flood will be. A linear relationship between two variables is captured by the formula y = b + m x, where b is the y intercept and m is the slope. It is significant which variable is y and which is x Correlation measures the dependability of the relationship (the goodness of fit of the data to that). It is a measure of how well one variable can predict the other (given the context of the data), and determines the precision you can assign to a relationship. 2. 1.

Precision Unbiased character

Precision Precision depends on a sample size Ordinarily sample size should not be less than 30 Precision = Precision is n/s directly proportional to n = sample size , s = standard deviation square root of sample size, greater the sample size greater the precision Also greater the SD, less will be the precision Thus in such cases to obtain precision, sample size needs to be increased Unbiased character The sample should be unbiased i.e. every individual should have an equal chance to be selected in the sample.

Concept of probability is very important in statistics Probability is the chance of occurrence of any event or permutation combination. It is denoted by p for sample and P for population In various tests of significance we are often interested to know whether the observed difference between two samples is by chance or due to sampling variation. There probability or p value is used

Determination of Sample Size 1. For Quantitative Data The investigator needs to decide how large an error due to sampling defect is allowable i.e. allowable error L Either the investigator should start with assumed SD or do a pilot study to estimate SD Sample size = 4 SD2 / L2 Mean pulse rate of population is 70 beats per min with standard deviation of 8 beats. What will be the sample size if allowable error is 1 n = 4 X 8 X 8 / 1 X 1 = 256 If L is less n will be more i.e. larger the sample size lesser is the error. 2. For Qualitative Data In such data we deal with proportion Sample size = n = 4 p q L2 o o o p = proportion of positive character q = proportion of negative character q = 1-p or (100-p if expressed in percent) o L = allowable error usually 10% of p (AIPG-10) Ex: incidence rate in last influenza was found to be 5% of the population exposed. What should be the size of the sample to find incidence rate in current epidemic if allowable error is 10%? p = 5% q = 95% l = 10 % of p = 0.5% n= 4 X 5 X 95 / 0.5 X 0.5 = 7600

P ranges from 0 to 1 0 = there is no chance that the observed difference could not be due to sampling variation 1 = it is absolutely certain that observed difference between two samples is due to sampling variation However such extreme values are rare. If P = 0.4 Chances that the difference is due to sampling variation is 4 in 10 Obviously the chances that it is not due to sampling variation will be 6 in 10 The essence of any test of significance is to find out p value and draw inference If p value is 0.05 or more It is customary to accept that difference is due to chance (sampling variation) The observed difference is said to be statistically not significant If p value is less than 0.05 Observed difference is not due chance but due to role of some external factors The observed difference here is said to be statistically significant.

From Shape of Normal Curve We know that 95% observation lie within mean 2 SD. Thus probability of value more or less than this range is 5% From Probability Tables p value is also determined by probability tables in case of student t test or chi square test

Since these test make assumptions about By Area Under Normal Curve Here Z = standard normal deviate is calculated Corresponding to Z values. the area under the curve is determined (A) Probability is given by 2 (0.5 - A) the population parameters hence they are called parametric tests These are usually used to test the difference They are, o Student t test (paired or unpaired) (COMEDK-10) TESTS OF SIGNIFICANCE Whatever be the sampling procedure or the care taken while selecting sample, the sample statistics will differ from the population parameters Also variations between 2 samples drawn from the same population may also occur i.e. differences in the results between two research workers for the same investigation may be observed (AIIMS-99) Thus it becomes important to find out the significance of this observed variation i.e. whether it is due to Chance or biological variation (statistically not significant) or Due to influence of some external factors (statistically significant) To test whether the variation observed is of significance, the various tests of significance are done. The Tests of Significance can be broadly classified as 1. 2. 1. Parametric tests Non parametric tests 1. Parametric Tests Parametric tests are those tests in which certain assumptions are made about the population o Population from which sample is drawn has normal distribution o The variances of sample do not differ significantly o The observations found are truly numerical thus arithmetic procedure such as addition, division, and multiplication can be used One tailed test In the test of significance when one wants to specifically know if the difference between the two groups is higher or lower i.e. the direction plus or minus side is specified. Then one end or tail of the distribution is excluded Ex: if one wants to know if malnourished children have less mean IQ than well nourished then higher side of the distribution will be excluded Such test of significance is called one tailed test Tests of Significance can also be divided into one tailed or two tailed test 2. Non Parametric Tests In many biological investigations, the research worker may not know the nature of distribution or other required values of the population. Also some biological measurements may not be true numerical values hence arithmetic procedures are not possible in such cases. In such cases distribution free or non parametric tests are used in which no assumption population Whitney are Chi made square about Ex: test, the Mann Phi parameters. o o ANOVA Test of significance between two means

q is number of individual not having the character P + q =1 or 100 if expressed in % Standard error of proportion is the unit which measures variation in proportion of a character from sample to population SE of proportion = p X q / n (AIPG-06, AIIMS-07) P = proportion of positive character q = proportion of negative character n = sample size Also proportion of population = proportion of sample 2 SEP Thus one can determine whether the proportion of sample is within limits of population proportion Ex: Proportion of blood group B among Indians is 30%. If in a sample of 100 individuals it is 25% what is your conclusion about the group SEP = p X q / n = 4.33 = 1.15 Since Z is < 2, p will be more than 0.05 thus the difference is not significant. 4.

The results are then interpreted. If the observed value is more than theoretical value at 1%, the relation is highly significant. If the observed value is less than the theoretical value at 5% it is not significant. If the observed value is between 1 and 5% of theoretical value it is statistically significant.

The program calculates the difference between the data observed and the data expected, considering the given marginal and the assumptions of the model of independence. It works in exactly the same way as the Chi-square test for independence; however, the Chi-square gives only an estimate of the true probability value, an estimate which might not be very accurate if the marginal is very uneven or if there is a small value (less than five) in one of the cells. In such cases the Fisher exact test is a better choice than the Chi-square. However, in many cases the Chi-square is preferred because the Fisher exact test is difficult to calculate. rank correlation correlation

DIRECT RETAINERS
DEFINITIONS Retention is resistance to movement of a denture away from the teeth and/or tissues along the path of placement of the prosthesis. Most retention of RPDs is provided by Direct Retainers which are clasp assemblies or attachments applied to an abutment tooth to retain an RPD in position Some retention of tooth-tissue supported RPDs may be obtained from those factors which provide retention in complete dentures. This will be called Denture Type Retention A Clasp Assembly is the part of an RPD that acts as a direct retainer and/or stabilizer for the prosthesis by partially encompassing or contacting an abutment tooth The Clasp is the component of the clasp assembly that engages a portion of the tooth surface and either enters an undercut for retention or remains entirely above the height of contour to act as a reciprocating element The part of the clasp assembly that enters an undercut for retention is frequently called the Retentive Clasp Arm An Attachment is a mechanical device for the fixation, prosthesis REQUIREMENTS OF A DIRECT RETAINER All direct retainers, clasp assemblies or retention, and stabilization of

2.

Retention Retention of a clasp assembly is provided by the resistance to flexure of the retentive clasp arm as it engages the height of contour of the tooth as the RPD moves occlusally/incisally. Some retention of a clasp assembly may also be provided by frictional contact of rigid portions of the clasp assembly, such as the proximal minor connector and reciprocal component, with surfaces of the tooth which are parallel to the path of placement of the RPD. Retention of an attachment may be provided by frictional contact of the long parallel walls of the attachment, mechanical locking devices, resistance to deformation of resilient locking materials, and other such imaginative systems. Retention of attachments is frequently provided, or supplemented, by a retentive clasp arm on the lingual surface of the abutment.

3.

Cross-Tooth Reciprocation Reciprocation is the mechanism by which lateral forces generated by a retentive clasp passing over a height of contour are counterbalanced, counteracted or negated by a reciprocal component passing along reciprocal guiding plane. Cross-tooth reciprocation of a clasp

assembly is provided by the Reciprocal Component which may be a clasp arm, plate or minor connector. The reciprocal component contacts the tooth on the side opposite the retentive clasp arm as the retentive clasp arm flexes over the height of contour of the tooth. The reciprocal component stabilizes the tooth and counterbalances, counteracts, negates or "reciprocates" the force applied by the retentive component. Cross-tooth reciprocation of an attachment is provided by the precise fit of the long parallel walls of the component parts, or by supplemental reciprocal components on the framework

4. Fixation Fixation is resistance to movement of the abutment tooth away from the prosthesis and resistance to movement of the prosthesis away from the abutment tooth. Fixation of a clasp assembly is provided by having the components of the clasp assembly encompass or encircle at least 180 degrees of the abutment tooth's circumference, the tooth or by in having three the places components of the clasp assembly contact surface approximately 120 degrees apart. Fixation of a clasp assembly is frequently call Encirclement. Fixation of an attachment is provided by the dovetail, or circular design of the component parts, or by supplemental clasp arms on the lingual of the abutment tooth 5. Passivity Direct retainers should not exert forces on the abutment teeth when the RPD is seated. They should be passive when the RPD is seated. Forces should occur only when the denture is being seated or removed. CROSS-ARCH RECIPROCATION In the design of an RPD the force exerted by a direct retainer on one side of the arch should be counterbalanced, counteracted, negated or "reciprocated" by an equal but oppositely directed force on an abutment tooth on the opposite side of the arch. This is termed Cross Arch Reciprocation. Cross-arch reciprocation probably does not occur in RPDs using attachments unless the retention is provided by retentive clasp arms.

Y clasp T clasp given when height of contour is high on the mesial or distal side but low at the center on the facial surface R-P-I CLASP The components of this clasp assembly are "R" - rest (always mesial) "P" - proximal plate "I" - I-bar (retentive arm) The Rest is located on the mesio-occlusal surface of a premolar or mesiolingual surface of a canine. The minor connector is located in the mesio-lingual embrasure but is not in contact with the adjacent tooth (prevents wedging). The Proximal Plate (essentially a wide minor connector) is located on a guide plane on the distal surface of the tooth. The superior edge of the proximal plate is located at the bottom of the guide plane (at approximately the junction of the occlusal and middle third of the guide plane). The proximal plate extends lingually so that the distance between the minor connector and the proximal plate is less than the mesiodistal width of the tooth. The plate is approximately l mm thick and joins the framework at a right angle. The I-bar clasp is located on the buccal surface of the premolar and on the mesio-buccal surface of the canine. The I-bar originates at the grid work and approaches the tooth from the gingival direction. The bend in the I-bar should be located at least 3 mm. from the gingival margin. This distance will prevent food entrapment and provide the length for the necessary flexibility in the clasp arm. The clasp Indications 1. 2. 3.

CLASSIFICATION INSTRUMENTS Grossman's Classification Root canal instruments are divided into 4 types according to their function. 1. Endodontic Explorers (Exploring Instruments) To locate the canal orifice. To determine or assist in obtaining patency of the root canal. Ex: Smooth broaches, Endodontic explorers 2. Debridement Instruments) To extirpate the pulp. To remove debris and other foreign material. Ex: Barbed broach. 3. Root canal shaping Instruments To shape the root canal laterally and apically. Ex: Reamers, Gates - Glidden drill, Files 4. Obturating Instruments To cement and pack guttapercha into the root canal. Ex: Pluggers (flat end-for vertical condensation), Spreaders (pointed end-lateral condensation), Lentulospirals (to deliver sealer or paste to the root canal) I.S.O. and FDI Classification 1. Group - I: Hand Use Only Hand operated instruments such as barbed and smooth broaches, reamers, K, H, and R files, plugger, spreaders etc. 2. Group - II: Engine driven Instruments Same instruments as described above. But the handles of these instruments have been replaced by latch type adapter for insertion into low speed hand pieces These instruments consist of two parts. o o 3.

STANDARDIZATION INSTRUMENTS Earlier, root

OF canal

ENDODONTIC instruments were

manufactured according to the manufacturer's wish with no definite specifications regarding length, diameter, shape and length of the cutting instrument. Ingle and Levine using an electrode micro comparator found variations in diameter and taper for the same sizes of instruments and later suggested some recommendations to maintain uniformity. Ingle and Levine Recommendations 1. Instruments shall be numbered from 10 to 100 150. The numbers advance by 5 units, to size 60 and then by 10 units to size 100. 2. Each number shall be representative of the diameter of the instrument in hundredths of a millimeter at the tip. Ex: No: 10 is 10/100 or 0.1 mm at the tip No: 25 is 25/100 or 0.25 mm at the tip No: 90 is 90/100 or 0.9 mm at the tip 3. The working blade (flutes) shall begin at the tip, designated site D1 and shall extend exactly 16 mm up the shaft, terminating at designated site D2. The diameter of D2 shall be 32/100 or 0.32 mm greater than of D1. Ex: No: 20 reamer shall have a diameter of 0.20 mm at D1 and a diameter of 0.20 plus 0.32 or 0.52 at D2. This sizing ensures a constant increase in taper of 0.02 mm per mm for every instrument regardless of size.
16 mm D2 D1

Group - III: Engine driven latch type - drills Similar to Group - II these instruments have latch attachment but are fabricated from a single piece of metal. So latch, shaft and cutting head are made of a single piece. Ex: Gates Glidden drill, Peeso reamer.

Other Specifications (were added later) 1. 2. The tip angle of an instrument should be 7515 (AP-02) Instrument sizes should increase by 0.05 mm at D1 between numbers 10 and 60. Ex: Numbers 10, 15 and 20. They should increase by 0.1 mm from numbers 60 to 150. Ex: Numbers 60, 70 and 80. 3. 4. 06 and 08 have been added for increased instrument selection. In addition, instrument handles have been color coded for easier recognition. Stainless steel root canal instruments are used more often today than carbon steel instruments because of their more flexibility, less likely to fracture, less susceptible to corrosion. The finer sizes of reamers and files have low resistance to torque (pressure used to rotate instrument for cutting and shaping) and break using less force than larger instruments when they bind in a root canal. As a result, small instruments are manufactured from square blanks, which are more resistant to torque, fractures, and large instruments are manufactured from triangular blanks, to improve their cutting efficiency. Instruments are available in lengths of 21, 25, 28 and 30 mm. Ordinarily, instruments of 25 mm long are used, but occasionally 21mm instruments are needed for molars especially when the patient cannot open the mouth wide and 28 and 30 mm instruments are necessary for cuspids and other teeth in which a 25 mm instrument cannot reach the apical foramen. Reamers are also available in 40 mm lengths for use in preparing root canals for endodontic treatment.

A double ended instrument with long tapered tines at either a right or an obtuse angle. This design facilitates the location of canal orifice. These instruments are very stiff and should not be inserted into canals or used for condensing guttapercha. Explorers should never be heated.

(MAHE-97,

COMEDK-04) To remove debris and other foreign material, absorbent points, cotton pellets etc. Manufacture It is manufactured from a tapered, round, soft iron wire in which angle cuts are made into the surface to produce barbs. Available as A variety of sizes from triple extra fine to extra coarse Barbs are used to engage the pulp as the broach is carefully rotated within the canal until it begins to meet resistance against the walls of the canal. Barbed broaches break easily especially if they bind in the root canal hence root canal should be enlarged before insertion of the broach. (MAHE-97) Selection By comparing the size of the broach with the size of the last instrument used in the root canal or an estimated size of the image in a radiograph One should select barbed broach that fits loosely into the apical third of the root canal. A barbed broach that is too wide does not permit removal of all the pulp tissue or it may force the pulp apically as the broach is inserted in the canal. Sterilization A barbed broach can be cleaned by scrubbing with a bur brush. To clean a broach which has tissue tags or necrotic debris, place it in a 5.2% sodium hypochlorite solution for half an hour and

These are used for condensation of guttapercha during obturation. Used primarily for vertical condensation.

Spreaders Spreaders instruments. Available in wide variety of lengths and taper. Used to condense the filling material laterally against the canal walls creating space for insertion of additional auxiliary cones. Spreaders should always be fit into the empty canal to ensure that the force is absorbed by the gutta-percha and not the canal walls selection of spreaders. Spreaders are available that have been numbered to match the instrument size. Spreader of the same apical instrument size or one size larger is chosen so that it reaches to within 1.0 to 2.0 mm but will not penetrate the apical orifice.

It is introduced by Roane et.al in 1985. He described the technique as "positioning and pre-loading an instrument through a clockwise rotation and then shaping the canal with a counter clockwise rotation".

4.

Watch - Winding It is the back and forth oscillation of a file (30 to 60) right and (30 to 60) left as the instrument is pushed forward into the canal. The back and forth movement of k-type files and reamers causes them to plane dentinal walls efficiently. This motion is very useful during shaping. 1. 2. 3. Less aggressive than turn and pull motion. Reduced apical ledge formation. It is effective with all k- type files.
PUSH

The technique is the file is pushed inwardly and rotated one quarter - turn clockwise. It is then rotated more than one half - turn counter clockwise. These alternate motions are repeated until the file reaches working length.

MECHANICAL INSTRUMENTATION Engine Driven Instruments Can be used for opening root canals. They should not be used for canal preparation except as a last resort. The rapid revolution of an engine driven reamer, file or broach can create a ledge, a perforation or an obstruction especially when the instrument breaks after it binds particularly in the apical region where the root canal is narrow.

It has a long thin shaft ending in a flame shaped head with a safe tip to guard against perforations. The flame head cuts laterally and is used with gentle, apically directed pressure. The long shaft is designed to break at the neck, i.e. narrowest diameter that lies adjacent to the hand piece. If the drill binds during use, it will fracture at the neck of the shaft and extrude from the tooth. The fractured segment is easily removed by grasping the broken shaft with pliers and pulling it out of tooth. Uses

Giromatic Activates a stainless steel barbed broach or reamer in the root canal through a 900 reciprocating arc at a speed upto 1000 cycles/min. Disadvantages o It may pack the dentinal shavings in the canal. o Less effective for preparing root canals. o Longer time is needed for preparation. o Had a tendency to create ledges and to produce flaring at the apex.

Used to remove the lingual shoulder during access preparation for anterior teeth.

o o

To enlarge root canal orifices. To clean and shape the cervical third of root canals in the step back preparation.

It is inflexible and used in low speed. (KCET-97)

2.

Racer Uses a standard file and oscillates the file in the root canal. The instruments length can be adjusted to the working length using this contra angle. Disadvantages o Debris may be forced ahead of the instrument with resulting clogging of the canal or pushing of debris into periapical tissue.

2.

Peeso Reamer (COMEDK-06, AP-09) Has long, sharp flutes connected to a thick shaft. It cuts laterally and is primarily used for the preparation of post space when gutta percha has been removed from obturated root canal. Precaution o Both Gates Glidden and Peeso reamers are made of hardened carbon steel that corrodes easily. o These aggressive cutting instruments are inflexible and should be used with slow speed and with extreme caution to prevent over instrumentation and perforations. the

Precaution o When engine driven instruments are used, access to the apical foramen must be made first with hand instruments.

Ultrasonic and Sonic Instruments Have been developed for cleaning and shaping root canals. Ultrasonic piezoelectric instrument ceramic consists that of a unit generates MISCELLANEOUS Endodontic Irrigating Syringe

55

Used to carry and dispense irrigating solution into canal for cleansing during debridement of canal.

ultrasonic waves which activate a magneto strictive stack hand piece. The hand piece holds a k-file (AIPG-94) or a specially designed diamond file that when activated produces movements of the shaft of the file between 0.01 and 0.004 at a frequency of 20000 to 25000/ sec. The oscillating movements produce cutting action of the file and create a ultrasonic wave of sodium hypochlorite irrigant solution, which is delivered along the side of the file into the root canal. Before ultrasonic instrumentation the apical third of the root canal should be hand instrumented to at least the size of a No: 15 file. In curved root canals, a pre curved No:15, endosonic file is introduced into the canal to working length (1mm short of the apical foramen) and is activated. After activation, the file is moved in a circumferential manner with a smooth push pull stroke along the walls of the canal for a period of 1 min. The procedure is repeated with No:20 and 25 files. The ultrasonic file should be inserted into the root canal to the working length before activation to prevent ledge formation. The apical third of the canal should be filed cautiously to prevent transportation of the apical root canal and foramen. Sonic Hand Pieces Sonic hand pieces operate at 1500 to 6500 cycles / min when filing inside root canals. They are similar in shape and weight to dental hand pieces and are attached to existing air and water lines. These instruments are used in a manner similar to the ultrasonic system in instrumentation of the root canals. The only difference is that the sonic system uses water as an irrigant and does not usually require diamond files for the flare of the preparation. Type I: Bent instrument. Type II: Stretching or straightening of twist contour. Type III: Peeling-off metal at blade edges. Type IV: Partial clockwise twist. Type V: Cracking along axis. Type VI: Full fracture. He found that No. 10 file is the most frequently damaged instrument. He described the progression of breakage as first a starting point crack develops on the files edge and then metal fatigue fans out from that point, spreading towards the files axial center. SOTOKAWAS CLASSIFICATION OF INSTRUMENT DAMAGE Sotokawa classified the types of damage to instruments as, Endodontic Stoppers Used to place on file or reamer to help in determining the length of the canal. Files or reamers are measured from stopper to apex of root to determine the length of the canal. Stoppers are colour coded to correspond to a particular file or reamer or a single a colour of stopper is used for all files or reamers. Sterile Absorbent Paper Points Used to dry pulp chambers of canal. Size of the point corresponds to width of the canal Sizes are available from extra fine to extra coarse

These channels act as circulatory system Bacteria are present and proliferate in an intercellular matrix through which the channels run. It functions as a barrier too Intercellular matrix consists of organic and inorganic materials derived from saliva, gingival crevicular fluid and bacterial products Organic components of matrix polysaccharides, proteins, glycoproteins and lipids. Albumin is derived from crevicular fluid. Lipid materials contain debris from the membranes of disrupted bacterial host cells and food debris.

Such hidden receptors for bacterial adhesion are called Cryptitopes Phase 4: Colonization of the surface and biofilm formation

Microorganisms adhere to cells of bacteria already in the plaque mass The process of maturation includes, 1. Growth & coalescence of the discrete plaque colonies - Consisting mostly of streptococci evolve into more mature, highly complex structure covering a large portion of tooth surface Continued appositional growth by adherence to the tooth & plaque surface of additional organism & clumps of organism In deep older plaque streptococci and actinomyces are replaced by rod & filament like organisms (MAHE-98, KAR-PGET-01)

Control of periodontal disease depends on control of plaque accumulation Treatment of periodontitis by debridement & oral hygiene measures focuses on the removal of plaque & its products

Contradicts Some individuals with considerable amount of plaque & calculus & gingivitis never developed destructive periodontitis Site specificity in the pattern of disease

This theory was put forward by Loeshe (KARPGET-98) Only certain plaque is pathogenic & its pathogenicity depends on the presence of or increases in specific microorganism Acceptance of this was confirmed by recognition of A. actinomycetemcomitans as a pathogen in localized aggressive periodontitis A. actinomycetemcomitans is a gram negative facultative anaerobe (MAHE-01) A. actinomycetemcomitans produces enzyme myeloperoxidase that prevents the adhesion of actinomyces to the tooth structure (PGI-05)

The organism associated with diseases may also be present at sound sites, but at levels too low to be clinically relevant. Disease is a result of a shift in the balance of the resident micro flora drives by a change in local environment conditions The bacterial composition of plaque remains relatively stable despite regular exposure to minor environment perturbations. This microbial homeostasis is due to a dynamic balance of both synergistic & antagonistic microbial interactions

The disease is associated with specific strains of a given species It is likely that most, if not all, recognized periodontal pathogens demonstrated difference in phenotypic properties related to ability to cause disease i.e. genetic basis for variability in virulence properties among pathogenic strains to cause periodontal disease The green stains frequently seen on children teeth are caused by chromogenic bacteria (MAHE-94, AP-98)

FIBRINOLYTIC ALVEOLITIS (AIPG-99, 07, PGI-95, KAR-98, 04, AP-04) Is a Localized Osteitis involving either the whole or a part of the condensed bone lining a tooth socket (the lamina dura) Characterized by an acutely painful tooth socket containing bare bone and broken down blood clot (APPG-99, KAR-PGET-04) The pain of dry socket is usually experienced on the 3rd day of extraction (range is 2 4 days after extraction) Etiology Trauma and Infection Predisposing Factors Infection of socket occurring either before during or after the extraction Trauma: extractions Bacteriological origin: a number of bacteria are known to possess fibrinolytic activity. It has been recently postulated that Treponema Use of excessive force during

After multiple extractions, suture is placed at the inter dental septum (AP-05)

The most common cause of delayed wound healing is infection. Area of bone removal under the flap must be irrigated copiously with saline and all foreign debris must be removed with a curette

Wound dehiscence - If a soft tissue flap is replaced and sutured without an adequate bony support the unsupported soft tissue flap often sags and separates along the line of incision

Suturing the wound under tension Dry socket or alveolar osteitis causes delayed healing

TRISMUS (AIPG-01) Defined as inability to open the mouth due to muscle spasm Causes Post operative edema Haematoma formation Inflammation of the soft tissue, trauma to a muscle during the insertion of the needle, irritating solutions Low grade infection within the muscle

Treatment & Prevention Diazepam (valium) 2.5 to 5.0 mg four times per day doses coupled the application of warm moist compressions for 15 to 20 minutes per hour will usually relieve the symptoms in several days Mild analgesics may also be used for discomfort Physiotherapy consisting of opening and closing the mouth as well as movement from side to side

for 5 - 10 minutes every 3 - 4 hours will also assist recovery Hemorrhage or low grade infection may require hot mouth washes and the use of the antibiotic depends on the individual situation and the amount of infection present Use of sharp sterile needles The area of insertion can be cleaned and painted with a suitable antiseptic solution Needle is inserted less traumatically and no muscles are penetrated unnecessarily Avoid repeated insertions by carefully observing land marks and constantly improving technique OROANTRAL COMMUNICATION The apices of the maxillary cheek teeth are often closely related to the antrum. Sometimes the roots are separated from the antral cavity only by the soft tissue lining of the air sinus. If this is destroyed by periapical infection or perforated during removal of a tooth or root, an oro antral communication will be created Displacement of a root into the maxillary sinus is most likely to happen during extraction of the maxillary 1st molar (MAHE-95) Closure of oro antral communication Mucoperiosteal flaps should be raised and the height of the bony socket reduced without increasing the size of the bony defect 2. BLEEDING Causes The extraction of a tooth leaves an open wound with tooth soft tissues and bone open which allows additional oozing and bleeding The tongue is an inquisitive organ that tends to play with the area of surgery and occasionally dislodges blood clots which initiates secondary bleeding The tongue may also cause secondary bleeding by creating small negative pressure that suctions the blood clot form the socket One of the prime factors in preventing bleeding is to take a thorough history from the patient regarding this specific potential problem (MAHE-98) Primary control of bleeding during surgery depends on gaining control of all factors that may prolong bleeding Surgery should be as less traumatic as possible with clean incisions and gently management of the soft tissues Care should be taken not to crush the soft tissue since crushed tissue tends to ooze for long periods Secondary Bleeding (MAN-99, AIPG-00) 4. 3.

Sharp bony spicules should be smoothened and removed All granulation tissue should be curetted from the periapical region of the socket, flaps and from around the neck of adjacent teeth The wound should be inspected carefully for the presence of any specific bleeding arteries. If such arteries exist in the soft tissue, they should be controlled with direct pressure or if pressure fails by clamping the artery with a hemostat and ligating it with a resorbable suture The bleeding socket is covered with damp 2 by 2 inch sponge that has been folded to fit directly into the area from which the tooth was extracted The patient bites down firmly on this gauge for at least 30 minutes Do not dismiss the patient from the office until hemostasis has been achieved If bleeding persists and careful inspection of the socket reveals that no arterial bleeding exists the surgeon should take additional measures to achieve haemostasis 1. Gelatin foam: this material is applied in the extraction socket and held in place with a figure eight suture placed over the socket. The absorbable gelatin sponge forms a scaffold for the formation of blood clot and the suture helps to maintain the sponge in position during the coagulation process Cellulose: (surgical) this material promotes coagulation more than the absorbable gelatin sponge when the cellulose is packed with the socket it almost always causes delayed healing of the socket. Therefore packing the socket with cellulose is reserved for more persistent bleeding Thrombin: Prepared from bovine thrombin. It bypasses all steps in the coagulation cascade and helps to convert fibrinogen to fibrin enzymatically which forms a clot .The sponge with the topical thrombin is secured in place with a figure 8 suture Collagen: promotes platelet aggregates and thereby helps accelerate blood coagulation Collaplug as a plug These materials are readily packed into a socket and are easier to use Collatape as a tape

Is caused due to some secondary trauma that is potentiated by the patients continuing to suck on

the area or to spit blood from the mouth instead of continuing to apply pressure with a gauze sponge Management A local anesthetic should be administered so that the socket can be inspected All blood saliva is removed using suction The soft tissue is checked for diffuse oozing versus specific artery bleeding If hemostatis is not achieved by any of the local measures a laboratory screening test to determine hemostatic defect of the patient should be done If the patient has diagnosed coagulopathy then blood transformation with enough factor replacement is done to active initial hemostasis The patient is then given antifibrolytic agent such as amino caproic acid for 10 days following extraction Ecchymosis A final haemostatic complication relates to intra operative and operative bleeding into the adjacent soft tissues. Blood that escapes into tissue spaces especially subcutaneous tissue spaces appears as bruising of the overlying soft tissue 2-5 days after surgery. This is termed as Ecchymosis (AIIMS-92) Patients who undergo extraction and who are older than 50 years should be warned that they may have some ecchymosis of the submandibular region & may extend to neck and chest. There is probably no way to prevent it but can be minimized by atraumatic surgery. The patient should be told that the application of moist heat may hasten the resolution of ecchymosis TEMPEROMANDIBULAR JOINT INJURIES A. Trauma to the capsule The main cause is due to the stretching of the capsule of TMJ during extraction procedure when excessive force is applied This can be prevented by providing adequate stability to TMJ during extraction It is usually associated with post operative pain and limitation of movement Conservative management- rest to the joint. Soft diet, analgesics and restriction of opening B. Dislocation of condyle Application of excessive force mouth COMPONENTS 1. INDICATIONS 1. 2. 3.

Failure to support the mandible while extracting a difficult tooth More likely to occur under general anesthesia when masticatory muscles are relaxed

Management Reduction is done with the thumb wrapped with gauze or bandage to avoid injury by teeth and placed on the occlusal surfaces of mandibular posterior teeth and finger under the lower border of the mandible. Mandible is then pushed downward backward rotating the chin upwards Patient should be warned not to open his mouth too widely or to yawn. Patient is instructed to support the jaw during yawning Extra oral bandage support for the joint is applied and worn until tenderness in the affected joint subsides FACIAL NERVE PARALYSIS It is a postoperative complication caused due to injection of local anesthetic solution in the capsule or the deeper lobe of parotid gland or injection of local anesthetic solution superficial into the muscle of facial expression Postoperative patients may experience transient facial nerve weakness primarily involves the marginal mandibular branch but also occur in the zygomatic branch

DENTAL ELEVATOR
An instrument having blade that engages tooth / root and elevates them from the socket, also expands the alveolar bone

To remove teeth which cannot be engaged by forcep beaks (impacted / malposed / badly carious teeth)

Factors to be considered

Bone removal with airotor

The complication of using an airotor at 30 30,000 rpm is the danger of developing emphysema (KAR-PGET-98)

Bone removal with chisels Disadvantage: patient discomfort while tapping Experience is needed

ORAL & MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY Exodontia & Impactions The direction of the bevel of the chisel during bone cutting is towards the bone to be sacrificed (PGI-97, 98)
Bur technique Either 7/8 round bur or a straight number 703 fissure bur is used. Either of these burs can be used for bone removal or for sectioning of a tooth. Burs should be always used along with copious saline irrigation to avoid thermal trauma to the bone 1st step: The bur is used in a sweeping motion around the occlusal, buccal and distal aspect of the mandibular 3rd molar crown to expose it as to have its orientation 2nd step: Once the crown has been located the buccal surface of the tooth is exposed with the bur to the cervical level of the crown contour and a buccal trough or gutter is created The buccal trough should be made in the cancellous bone It is important that the adequate amount of trough is created to remove any bony obstruction for exposure and the delivery of the tooth, especially around the distal aspect of the crown. The distolingual portion of the tooth should be exposed without cutting through the lingual bony plate to prevent damage to the lingual nerve TOOTH REMOVAL Tooth belongs to the oral surgeon, but the bone belongs to the patient Primary goal is to remove all components of the tooth in an atraumatic way Tooth sectioning With burs With chisels Advantages Less postoperative pain and swelling Less damage to the adjacent tooth Danger of injury to the neurovascular bundle is less Risk of fracture of jaw is reduced WHARFE assessment - Macgregor 1985 (KAR-02) Path of Exit Space available Distal cusps covered Mesial cusp covered Both covered 0 1 2 3 Enlarged Impaction relieved 2 3 Normal Possibly enlarged 1/3 to 2/3 complete > 2/3 complete Follicles 0 1 1 3 Root shape and development Favorable curvature Unfavorable curvature Complex < 1/3 complete 1 2 3 2 80-89 90 + 3 4 35-39 mm 2 1-30 mm 31-34 mm 0 1 Height of the mandible
