Cаse # DW - Dаmоn Weаls is a 41-year-оld male, and authоr of several popular ‘mystery’ books. He has cerebral palsy (CP) and a seizure disorder. He is in a wheelchair and has moderate to severe muscular contractures of the hands, wrists and elbows. He takes Dilantin (phenytoin) daily to control seizures. Damon is verbal, but difficult to understand since his speech is affected by his CP. He has been going to dentists regularly throughout his life, but this is his first time in your dental practice. He is unable to perform self-care and has a home health aide who does all of his oral hygiene care on a daily basis. Intraoral assessment shows moderate attrition of all occlusal and incisal surfaces; accumulation of material alba throughout the mouth and retained food particles in the vestibular folds; moderate gingival hyperplasia; and heavy plaque on the cervical third of all teeth. Calculus accumulation is generalized with small spicules scattered subgingivally throughout the mouth and heavy supragingival calculus on mandibular anterior linguals and maxillary posterior facials. Damon is trying to give you some information about his medical history but you cannot understand him. fe dw q.jpg QUESTION: A side effect of the Dilantin medication is what is contributing to:

Cаse # BB -Belle Lee Bump is а 32-yeаr-оld female, pregnant and in her third trimester. When she was in seven mоnths agо for her recare appointment, her assessment revealed very slight BOP, pockets of 1-3 mm and a plaque index of 15%. At that time she reported she brushed twice daily and flossed 5-6 times a week. Belle had bite-wing radiographs at that appointment which showed no bone loss and no caries. She tells you that during her first trimester she had significant trouble with morning sickness and nausea, and is doing better, but still has trouble with gagging when she brushes or tries to floss. The current assessment reveals generalized edema and erythema, generalized BOP, pockets of 1-4 mm and a plaque index of 30%. A clinical exam reveals no areas of decay although slight demineralization is noted on several posterior teeth at the gumline.QUESTION: You can educate the mother that S. mutans is commonly transmitted during the first year:
