HAMPTON ROADS PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY & ORTHODONTICS - Williamsburg, VA January 2021 to November 2022

Cementation of orthodontic bands is similar to cementation of a cast restoration ; the difference is that the cement adheres exclusively to enamel. Glass ionomer cement adheres exclusively to enamel. Glass ionomer cement is commonly selected because of it's strength to aid in retention with enamel, and its timed-release fluoride properties to aid in preventing decay under the band. The cement to be used is determined by orthodontist. The type selected must be mixed in accordance with the manufacturer's directions. Bonded bracket is the most resourceful component of the fixed appliance. Brackets can be constructed from stainless steel, titanium, ceramic, or a combination of these. Most commonly, brackets are bonded onto the anterior teeth and premolars. The bracket is attached to a backing pad which is bonded to the enamel of the tooth. The bracket is designed differently depending on the type and its use. The edgewise bracket, which consists of four tie wings, allows the arch wire to be placed horizontally through the wings of the bracket and then is ligated into place. Headgear tubes are round tubes that are placed routinely on maxillary first molar bands. They are used for insertion of the inner bow of a face- bow appliance. Edgewise tubes are rectangular tubes that are placed gingival to the plane of the main arch wire. These rubes should be present on the facial surfaces of the upper and lower first molars to receive the arch wire. Instruments used are Weingart utility pliers that finely serrated narrow beaks allow accessibility to all areas. They are used in the placement of arch wires. Howe pliers have flat, rounded serrated tip that allows placement and removal or creation of adjustment bends in the arch wire. Three- pronged pliers used primarily in closing and adjusting clasps. Wire-bending pliers are used for holding and bending and adjusting arch wires to create movement. Posterior band remover pliers remove bands without placing stress on the tooth or providing discomfort to the patient. Ligature-tying pliers Finely serrated narrow beaks that allow ease in ligature tying. Pin-and-ligature cutter cuts the ligature wire once it has been ligated around the bracket. Ligating the Arch Wire method includes ligature ties or elastomeric ties. Procedures: Preparing The Teeth 1. The tooth surface must be cleaned with prophy cup and pumice slurry and then rinsed and dried. 2. Use cotton rolls or retractors to isolate the teeth. 3. An etchant gel is placed on the facial area of the tooth that is to receive the bonding. This remains on the tooth for the manufacturers specified time; the tooth then is rinsed and dried thoroughly. 4. The orthodontist applies a liquid sealant, usually the monomer of the bonding agent, to the prepared tooth surface. 5. Express a small quantity of bonding material and place it on the back of the bracket. Bracket placement tweezers are used to transfer the bracket to the orthodontist. 6.transfer the orthodontic scaler. The orthodontist places the bracket and moves it into final position with a scaler. 7. The orthodontist uses the scaler to immediately remove the excess bonding material before light-curing the material. Placing arch wires: 1. Preformed wires are measured before they are placed into the mouth. The wire should be long enough to extend past the end of the buccal tube on the molar band but not so long that it injures the patient's tissues.2. Measure the wire by trying it on the patient's diagnostic model or by holding it against the arch wire that is being replaced. 3. If the orthodontist will need to place bends in the wire, additional wire must be allowed for the length. 4. Locate the mark at the center of the arch wire. This indicates the midline or the center of the arch form. Position the wire in the mouth with the mark between the central incisors. 5. Position the wire in the mouth with the mark between the central incisors. 6. Place the arch wire in the main arch wire slot of the buccal tube. 7.Use the Weingart pliers to slide the wire in on either side of the arch and to position the wire within the bracket slots.8. Check the distal ends to determine whether they are securely positioned or are too long or too short. Placing elastomeric ties 1. Use a hemostat to place the pliers' beak on a tie; lock the pliers. 2. Do not place the beaks too close to the center of the "O", or it will become impossible to stretch the tie around the bracket. 3. Place the tie on the occlusal portion of one tie wing; then slide the tie under the edge of the bracket. 4. To get the tie started, support it with your finger. 5. Pull the tie up and over the tie wing and then over and down the other tie wing. 6. Release the pliers. Removing Elastomeric Ties 1. Use an orthodontic scaler held in a pen grasp. 2. Place the scaler tip between the bracket tie wings, and pull the tie at the occlusal position with a rolling motion. 3. Remove the tie in a gingival direction. Cleans calcareous deposits, accretions, and stains from teeth beneath the margins of gums using dental instruments. Examines gums using probes to locate periodontal recessed gums and signs of gum decease. Feels lymph nodes under patients chin to detect swelling or tenderness that could indicate a sign or oral cancer. Applies fluorides and other dental agents to arrest dental decay. Exposes and develops x ray film. Records and reviews patients medical history. Charts and diagnoses conditions of decay and disease diagnosed by dentist. Maintains dental equipment and sharpens and sterilizes dental instruments. Provide clinical advice to patients during visits educating parents about the health of their Childs teeth.

Midtown Psychiatry - Atlanta, GA

January 2013 to October 2017

• Mental illness is a condition where the individual experiences significant changes in the ability to think, as well as changes in behaviors and emotions. Patients can have problems in coping with normal stressors, interacting with others, and functioning within their own cultural norms.

• The main neurotransmitters affected by psychiatric drugs include serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine, as well as GABA, acetylcholine, and histamine.

• All sedatives depress the central nervous system to some degree.

• Flumazenil (Romazicon) is a benzodiazepine receptor antagonist and is an antidote used to reverse an overdose of either a benzodiazepine or a BNZ agonist sedative.

• If a BNZ or BNZ agonist is taken with another CNS depressant, CNS effects are more severe and coma or death is possible.

• Major categories of antianxiety agents (also called anxiolytics) include BNZs, BNZ agonists, and certain antidepressants (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors [SSRIs] and serotonin norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor's [SNRIs]).

• BNZs are recommended primarily for short-term use.

• Long-term use of BNZs can result in physical dependence and withdrawal symptoms if the drug is stopped suddenly.

• A newer drug from the BNZ agonist category, buspirone, reduces anxiety through a variety of actions that affect the serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitters.

• Certain drugs often considered antidepressants are commonly used to relieve symptoms of anxiety.

• BNZS should not be used to treat insomnia, agitation, or delirium in patients older than 65 years and should be avoided in all patients with cognitive impairment, dementia, Or a history of falls or fractures.

• Symptoms of psychosis are classified as positive symptoms and negative symptoms. Typical antipsychotics treat positive symptoms, and atypical antipsychotics can treat both positive and negative symptoms.

• The main adverse effects for typical antipsychotics are extrapyramidal symptoms (EPSs). Early recognition can prevent long-term consequences.

• Neuroleptic malignant syndrome is a potentially fatal adverse effect associated with antipsychotics and other drugs that affect dopamine.

• Atypical antipsychotics are also known as second generation antipsychotics and have a lower risk for extrapyramidal effects.

• Patients who are taking atypical antipsychotics are at risk for weight gain, increase in blood triglycerides, and diabetes type 2.

• Most patients with depression require several trials of different drugs to determine which drug is the most effective to manage their symptoms.

• Screen for thoughts of suicide in all patients who are taking antidepressants suddenly because this may cause withdrawal symptoms or a relapse of depressive symptoms.

• Maximum benefit of many antidepressants may take 4 to 8 weeks. Always make sure your patient has a referral to professional support services and information for local crisis lines.

• Teach patients not to take any herbal or over-the-counter drugs, particularly St.John's wort, because they can cause a dangerous adverse effect if taken with SSRIs, SNRIs, TCAs, or MAOIs.

• SSRIs may cause thoughts of suicide (suicide ideation) or self harm; this occurs more often in children and young adults. Remind patients and their families that this is just a side effect of the drug and should be reported to the Healthcare providers immediately.

• SSRIs and SNRIs can cause falls or fractures in older adults. Make sure to monitor for signs of dizziness or changes in gait that may lead to falls.

• Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) work as well as the sSRIs or SNRIs for treating mild to moderate depression but have more dide effects. As a result, TCAs are usually reserved for severe depression or people who do not respond to other treatments.

• TCAs should be avoided with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), SSRIs, and SNRIs because of the risk for serotonin syndrome.

• MAOIs may cause a hypertensive crisis if the patient ingests foods or drinks that contain tyramine. Examples of these foods include aged cheese, overripe fruit, cured or smoked meat, beer, it wine.

• Do not give MAOIs and SSRIs within 2 weeks of each other. Combining these drugs can cause serotonin syndrome, a life-threatening adverse effect related to too much serotonin.

• Lithium is used mainly to treat patients with bipolar illness including acute mania and during long- term maintenance therapy.

• Lithium has a very narrow therapeutic range (patients easily can become toxic). Patients will need to have regular serum lithium levels assessed to keep the patient safe.

• Early signs of lithium toxicity include increased nausea, vomiting, drowsiness, muscle weakness, severe hand tremor, and incoordination. Later signs include ataxia (loss of control of body movements) and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).

• Fluid balance is very important in patients who are taking lithium because any condition that leads to lower sodium levels or dehydration can increase the risk for lithium toxicity. Education
