    Increase in intracranial pressurey depends on the etiology

    y In patientswho have high ICP it is particularly

    important to ensure adequate airway, breathing,and oxygenation.

    y whenit is necessary to decrease cerebral blood flow,can be lowered using common antihypertensive

    agents such as calcium channel blockers.

    ICP ( cont.) CSF drainage lowers ICP immediately byreducing

    intracranial volume and more long-term by allowing

    edema fluid to draininto the ventricular system. Drainage ofeven a small volume ofCSF can lower ICP

    significantly,.

    Urgent neurosurgeryis done fromfocal causes (Eg:

    haematoma ) by craniotomyor burr hole. ICP monitoris placed and monitor all time.

    Tumors Radiation therapy

    External radiotherapy, generally delivered on an

    outpatient basis, directs radiation to the tumor and thearea around it.

    Implant radiation therapyinvolves placing tiny piecesofradioactive material in the brain. Left in place

    permanently, orfor a short time, these radioactivepellets release measured doses ofradiation each day.This technique is called brachytherapy.

    Tumors Chemotherapy

    One ormore cancer-killing drugs may be taken by

    mouth orinjected into a blood vessel, muscle, or thecerebrospinal fluid.

    Chemotherapymay be usedwith radiation and surgeryas part ofa patient's initial treatment, or used alone totreat tumors that recurin the same place orin another

    part ofthe body. The usual chemotherapyregimenfor a brain tumor is a

    combination approach, most commonly usingprocarbazine, and vincristine.

    Intracranial venous thrombosis Neurosurgeonis required General measures appropriate to the rehabilitationofstroke

    patients. Elevationofthe head at 30-40 helps toreduce

    intracranial pressure. Seizures should be treatedwith anticonvulsant(eg:carbamazapine)

    Specific treatment involves anticoagulationor thrombolytictreatments. Most studies report betteroutcomeswith anticoagulation. Heparin

    is used and later converted to warfarin. Heparin appears to be a safe and effective treatment

    Surgerymay veryrarely be requiredwhen there is markedneurological deterioration. The thrombus is removed andthrombolysis locallyis also used.

    23/63

    Neurological Causes of Orofacial Pain

    Sensoryinnervationofface depends on trigeminal nerve, sodiseases affecting this nerve anywhere in the course fromorofacial region to brain, can cause orofacial painorindeedsensory loss sometimeswith serious implications.

    Such causes include:

    trauma

    cerebrovascular disease

    demyelinating disease (egmultiple sclerosis)

    neoplasia (egnasopharyngeal, antral or brain tumours); (orinfections such as herpes zosteror HIV/AIDS)

    24/63

    Management ofTrigeminal

    Neuralgiay ITN is often anintermittent disease sorecurrence is

    common and usually the pain spreads toinvolve awiderarea as time goes. In the acute situation the patients

    symptoms may be controlled on a short term basiswithinjectionofa regional local anaesthetic.

    y Medical treatment using anticonvulsants, is successful formost patients.

    y Carbamazepine is the main drug used, but it is not ananalgesic and must be given continuously prophylacticallyfor long periods, blood tests to check mainlyfor liverfunction(may become impaired for long term usage ofcarbamazepine); and bone marrowfunction.

  • 8/6/2019 Cons Presentation

    25/63

    y Cranial nerve examination should be carried out toknow the extent ofthe disorder, not known to beinfectious, usuallyno long-term consequences,Symptoms may be controlledwith drugs, freezingthe nerve, or surgery.

    yAlternative medical therapies such asacupuncture, chiropractic adjustment, self-hypnosis, are sometimes used.

    PSYCHOGENIC CAUSESOF

    OROFACIAL PAIN

    yReassurance may be effective but thepainmay also be helped bymassage,warmth, bynon-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), or bybenzodiazepines which are bothanxiolytic and mild muscle relaxants,or by complementary therapies.

    MANAGEMENT OF PATIENTSSUFFERING

    ATYPICAL FACIAL PAIN OR PAIN WITH APSYCHOGENIC BASISyAttention to anyfactors such as the dentures or

    haematinic deficiencies should be done, but active

    dental ororal surgical treatment, or attempts athormone replacement, or polypharmacyin theabsence ofany specific indication, should beavoided.

    y Donot repeat examinations at subsequentappointments as thiswill onlyworsen abnormalillness behaviour and health fears.

  • 8/6/2019 Cons Presentation

    29/63

    y Operative interventionis rarely successful. Activedental measures such as restorative treatment,

    endodontics ororal surgical treatment that is outofspecific indication, should be avoided as theymayreinforce patients perception that the painhas anorganic basis.

    y Identify and relieve factorswhich lower the painthreshold. Simple analgesics (NSAIDs) should betried initially, before using a more potent option.

    y

    Offerreferral to a specialist for Cognitive-behavioural therapy(CBT)or a trial ofantidepressants, explaining that these agents areaimed to treat the symptoms not depression.

    Behavioral modificationy Undergo corrective dental treatments. Replace missing

    teeth; use crowns, bridges or braces to balance the bitingsurfaces ofyour teeth or to correct a bite problem.y Avoid extreme jaw movements. Keep yawning and

    chewing(especiallygumorice) to a minimum and avoidextremejawmovements such as yellingor singing.

    y

    Don't rest your chin on your hand or hold the telephonebetween your shoulder and ear. Practice good posture toreduce neck and facial pain.

    y Keep your teeth slightly apart as often as you can torelieve pressure on thejaw. To control clenchingorgrinding during the day, place your tongue between yourteeth.

    y Learn relaxation techniques to help control muscletensionin thejaw. Ask your dentist about the need forphysical therapyormassage. Consider stress reductiontherapy, including biofeedback.

  • 8/6/2019 Cons Presentation

    41/63

    Physical therapyy FAILED- When the basic treatments listed above prove

    unsuccessful, suggest one ormore ofthe following:

    y Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) This

    therapy uses low-level electrical currents to provide painreliefbyrelaxing thejawjoint and facial muscles. This treatment can bedone at the dentist's office or at home.

    y Ultrasound . Ultrasound treatment is applied to the TMJ torelieve soreness orimprove mobility.

    y

    Trigger-point injections. Painmedicationis injected intotenderfacial muscles called "trigger points"" torelieve pain.

    y Radio wave therapy. Radiowaves create a low level electricalstimulation to thejoint,which increases blood flow. The patientexperiences reliefofpainin thejoint.

  • 8/6/2019 Cons Presentation

    42/63

    medicationy Torelieve muscle pain and swelling, trynonsteroidal

    anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), suchas aspirin or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)

    y higher doses ofthese orother NSAIDs orother drugsfor pain such as narcotic analgesics. Muscle relaxants,

    especiallyfor peoplewhogrind or clench their teeth,can help relax tightjawmuscles.

    yAnti-anxietymedications can help relieve stress that issometimes thought to aggravate TMD.

    yAntidepressants,when used in low doses, can also helpreduce or control pain.

    y Muscle relaxants, anti-anxiety drugs andantidepressants are available by prescriptiononly.

  • 8/6/2019 Cons Presentation

    43/63

    Orthopedic appliancesy Splint

    Occlusal splints (also called night guards ormouth guards)reduce nighttime clenchingin some patients,while increasingclenching activityinother patients. Thus,while occlusal splintsdo prevent loss oftooth enamel fromgrinding, use ofa splint canworsen TMJ disorder symptoms for some people.

    Nighttime Biofeedbacky Nighttime EMG biofeedback (forinstance by using

    a biofeedback headband) can be used toreduce bruxism andthus reduce or eliminate the ongoingnightly cycle ofdamagethat contributes to the majorityofTMJ disorder symptoms. Thistreatment is non-invasive, uses no drugs, and can be tried for upto threeweeks at no cost.

  • 8/6/2019 Cons Presentation

    44/63

    y Elimination of para-functional habits

    yAn approach to eliminating para-functional habits involvesthe takingofa detailed history and careful physicalexamination. The medical history should be designed toreveal durationofillness and symptoms, previoustreatment and effects, contributingmedical findings,

    historyoffacial trauma, and a search for habits that mayhave produced or enhanced symptoms. Particular attentionshould be directed inidentifying perversejaw habits, suchas clenchingor teeth grinding, lip or cheek biting, or

    positioningofthe lowerjawin an edge-to-edge bite. All ofthe above strain the muscles ofmastication(chewing) andresults injaw pain. Palpationofthese muscleswill cause apainful response.

  • 8/6/2019 Cons Presentation

    45/63

    Complex Occlusal therapyy Restoration of the occlusal surfaces of the teethy Ifthe occlusal surfaces ofthe teeth or the supporting

    structures have been altered due toinappropriate dentaltreatment, periodontal disease, or trauma, the properocclusionmayneed to be restored.

    y Patientswith bridges, crowns, oronlays should be checked

    for bite discrepancies. These discrepancies, ifpresent, maycause a person tomake contactwith posterior teeth duringsideways chewingmotions. These inappropriate contactsare called interferences, and ifpresent, they can cause apatient to subconsciously avoid those motions, as theywillprovoke a painful response.

    y The result can be excessive strainor even spasms ofthechewingmuscles. Treatment could include adjusting therestorations orreplacing them.

  • 8/6/2019 Cons Presentation

    46/63

    Surgeryy The surgeryis irreversible. Attempts in the last decade to

    develop surgical treatments based on MRI and CAT scansnowreceive less attention. These techniques are reserved

    for the most recalcitrant caseswhere other therapeuticmodalities have failed.

    y Exercise protocols, habit control, and splinting should bethe first line ofapproach, leaving oral surgery as a last

    resort. Certainly a focus onother possible causes offacialpain andjawimmobility and dysfunction should be theinitial considerationofthe examiningoral-facial painspecialist, oral surgeonor health professional.

    3 types ofsurgeryfor TMD:

    yArthrocentesis. This is a minor procedureperformed in the office undergeneral anesthesia.It is performed for sudden-onset, closed lock cases(restrictedjawopening)in patientswith nosignificant prior historyofTMJ problems. Thesurgeryinvolves insertingneedles inside theaffectedjoint andwashingout thejointwith sterilefluids. Occasionally, the procedure mayinvolveinserting a blunt instrument inside ofthejoint.The instrument is used in a sweepingmotion toremove tissue adhesion bands and to dislodge adisc that is stuck infront ofthe condyle (the partofyour TMJ consistingofthe "ball" portionofthe"ball and socket")

  • 8/6/2019 Cons Presentation

    48/63

    y Arthroscopy. The surgeon thenmakes a smallincisioninfront ofthe ear and inserts a small, thin

    instrument that contains a lens and light. Thisinstrument is hooked up to a video screen, allowingthe surgeon to examine the TMJ and surrounding area.Dependingon the cause ofthe TMD, the surgeonmay

    remove inflamed tissue orrealign the disc or condyle.Comparedwith open surgery, this surgeryis lessinvasive, leaves less scarring, and is associatedwithminimal complications and a shorterrecovery time.Dependingon the cause ofthe TMD, arthroscopymaynot be possible, and open-joint surgerywill need to beconsidered.

  • 8/6/2019 Cons Presentation

    49/63

    y Open-joint surgery. Unlike arthroscopy, the entirearea around the TMJis opened so that the surgeon can

    get a full view and better access. Types ofopen-jointsurgeries. This approach is used if:

    yThe bony structures that comprise thejaw

    joint are deterioratingyThere are tumors inor around your TMJ

    yThere is severe scarringor chips ofbone in

    thejoint.
