This document discusses food impaction, including its causes, types, mechanisms, signs and symptoms, detection, and management. Food impaction occurs when food becomes forcefully wedged between teeth or in the gingiva. It is often caused by factors like uneven tooth wear, missing teeth, or poor restorations. Left untreated, food impaction can lead to inflammation, bone loss, and tooth mobility. Detection involves examining contacts, using dental floss or casts. Management includes nonsurgical treatments like cleaning and occlusal adjustment, as well as restoring proper contacts and replacing missing teeth.

Splinting is one of the oldest forms of aids to periodontal therapy. By redistribution of forces on the affected teeth the splint minimizes the effects caused by loss of support. Splinting teeth to each other allows weakened teeth to be supported by neighbouring teeth. This presentation reviews the rationale, techniques, advantages and ill effects of stabilization of teeth by splinting as an aid to periodontal therapy. With the acceptance and clinical predictability of adhesive procedures, the use of conservative bonding techniques to splint teeth offers a useful alternative to more invasive restorative procedures. Loss of tooth-supporting structures results in tooth mobility. Increased tooth mobility adversely affects function, aesthetics, and the patient’s comfort. Splints are used to overcome all these problems. When faced with the dilemma of how to manage periodontally compromised teeth, splinting of mobile teeth to stronger adjacent teeth is a viable option. This prolongs the life expectancy of loose teeth, gives stability for the periodontium to reattach, and improves comfort, function and aesthetics.
Fixed partial dentures transmit forces through the abutments to the periodontium. Failures are due to poor engineering, the use of improper materials, inadequate tooth preparation, and faulty fabrication. Of particular concern to prosthodontist is the selection of teeth for abutments. They must recognize the forces developed by the oral mechanism, and resistance.
Successful selection of abutments for fixed partial dentures requires sensitive diagnostic ability. Thorough knowledge of anatomy, ceramics, the chemistry and physics of dental materials, metallurgy, Periodontics, phonetics, physiology, radiology and the mechanics of oral function is fundamental.

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

This content provides an overview of preventive pediatrics. It defines preventive pediatrics as preventing disease and promoting children's physical, mental, and social well-being to achieve positive health. It discusses antenatal, postnatal, and social preventive pediatrics. It also covers various child health programs like immunization, breastfeeding, ICDS, and the roles of organizations like WHO, UNICEF, and nurses in preventive pediatrics.
CHAPTER 1 SEMESTER V - ROLE OF PEADIATRIC NURSE.pdfSachin Sharma
Pediatric nurses play a vital role in the health and well-being of children. Their responsibilities are wide-ranging, and their objectives can be categorized into several key areas:
1. Direct Patient Care:
Objective: Provide comprehensive and compassionate care to infants, children, and adolescents in various healthcare settings (hospitals, clinics, etc.).
This includes tasks like:
Monitoring vital signs and physical condition.
Administering medications and treatments.
Performing procedures as directed by doctors.
Assisting with daily living activities (bathing, feeding).
Providing emotional support and pain management.
2. Health Promotion and Education:
Objective: Promote healthy behaviors and educate children, families, and communities about preventive healthcare.
This includes tasks like:
Administering vaccinations.
Providing education on nutrition, hygiene, and development.
Offering breastfeeding and childbirth support.
Counseling families on safety and injury prevention.
3. Collaboration and Advocacy:

Implementing evidence-based practices into their daily routines.
By fulfilling these objectives, pediatric nurses play a crucial role in ensuring the optimal health and well-being of children throughout all stages of their development.
7. Prosthetic related factors like:
a) proximal filling related,
b) fractured restoration,
c) inadequate prosthetic crown ,
8. d) faulty design impression or laboratory
procedure fabrication ,
e) fracture of prosthesis at proximal
contact
9. Implant related factors are :
• excessive distance between implant /
implant and adjacent tooth
• inappropriate distance between contact
point and alveolar bone crest
10. FOOD IMPACTION
• Is the forceful wedging of food into the periodontium
by occlusal forces.
• It may occur interproximally or in relation to the
facial or lingual tooth surfaces .
11. • Is very common cause of gingival inflammation .
• Failure to recognize and eliminate food impaction is
responsible for the unsuccessful outcome of an
otherwise thoroughly treated case of periodontal
disease
12. • TYPES OF FOOD IMPACTION
1. Vertical impaction
by occlusal forces
2. Lateral food impaction
by pressure from tongue ,cheek, lip
13. LATERAL FOOD IMPACTION
• May occur when gingival embrassure is
enlarged by tissue destruction in periodontal diseases or
by recession.
• Food impaction results when food forced into such
embrassure are retained instead of passing through that
embrassure.
14. INTERPROXIMAL FOOD IMPACTION
GINGIVAL EMBRASSURE ENLARGED
Lateral pressure from lip, cheek and tongue.
PERIODONTAL DISEASE
Tissue destruction Gingival recession
15. MECHANISM OF FOOD IMPACTION
• Forceful wedging of food is prevented by :
I. Integrity and location of proximal contact.
II. Contour of marginal ridge and developmental grooves.
III. Contour of facial and lingual surfaces.
IV. An intact, firm proximal contact relationship prevents
the forceful wedging of food inter-proximally.
16. • The location of the contact is also important in
protecting the tissues against food impaction.
• The optimal cervico-occlusal location of the contact is
at the longest mesiodistal diameter of the tooth , close
to the crest of the marginal ridge.
17. • The proximity of the contact point to the occlusal
plane reduces the tendency towards food impaction in
the smaller occlusal embrassure.
• The absence of contact or the presence of an
unsatisfactory proximal relationship is conducive to
food impaction
18. • The contour of the occlusal surface estabilished by
the marginal ridges and related developmental
grooves normally serves to deflect food away from
the interproximal spaces.
19. • As the teeth wear down and flattened surfaces replace
the normal convexities, the wedging effect of the
opposing cusp into the interproximal space is
exaggerated and food impaction results.
20. • Cusps that tend to forcibly wedge food
interproximally are known as plunger cusps .
• The plunger cusp effect may occur with wear , as
indicated, or may be the result of a shift in tooth
position following failure to replace missing teeth.

Directing food into
The occlusal surface
22. • Excessive anterior overbite is a common cause.
• Forceful wedging of food into gingival surfaces of
mandibular anterior teeth and the lingual surfaces of
the maxillary teeth produces varying degrees of
periodontal involvement.
23. • Gingival changes in the mandibular anterior region,
due to excessive anterior overbite - easily detectable.
24. • However the effects of food impaction on the lingual
surface of the maxilla are often overlooked.
• Inflammation caused by lingual food impaction may
spread to the contiguous facial gingival margin.
25. • Possibility that lingual food impaction may be
contributory factor should always be explored when
the etilogy of gingival disease in anterior maxilla is
being considered.
26. • A classic analysis of the factors leading to food impaction
has been made by Hirschfeld (1928) . He recognised
the following factors:
1.Uneven occlusal wear
2.Opening of the contact point as a result of loss of
proximal support or from intrusion.
28. • A.removal of maxillary
third molar permits
second molar to be
forced distally when
teeth contact in occlusion
B. Bolus of food forced
interproximally
as maxillary second molar is
wedged distally
29. • However the presence of the previously mentioned
abnormalities does not necessarily lead to food
impaction and periodontal diseases.
30. • A study of interproximal contacts and marginal ridges
relationships in three group of periodonyally healthy
males revealed that from 61.7 to 76 % of the proximal
contacts were defective and that 33.5 % of adjacent
marginal ridges were uneven
31. Lateral food impaction :
In addition to food impaction that is due to occlusal
forces, lateral pressure from the lips, cheeks and
tongue may force food interproximally.
32. This is more likely to occur when the gingival
embrassure is enlarged by tissue destruction in
periodontal disease or by recession; into this
embrassure during mastication , food is retained
instead of passing through.
33. According to Hirschfield, food impaction can occur in
the following conditions.
• Class I : UNEVEN OCCLUSAL WEAR
Can lead to food impaction because deflection of food
away from the proximal areas doesnot occur.
34. Subdivided into 3:
o TYPE A: wedging action produced by transformation
of occlusal convexities into oblique facets ,
exaggerating the action of plunger cusps.
35. o TYPE B: remaining obliquely worn cusp of a
maxillary tooth overhanging the distal surface of its
functional anatagonists.
36. o TYPE C: obliquely worn cusp of a mandibular tooth
overhanging the distal surface of its functional
antagonists
37. • CLASS II : LOSS OF PROXIMAL CONTACT
this is one of the most common cause for food
impaction. It may due to periodontal disease, non-
replaced missing teeth, proximal caries and abnormal
biting habits.
38. Subdivided into 4 :
o TYPE A: loss of distal support through the removal of
a distally adjacent tooth.
o TYPE B: loss of mesial support due to extraction of
mesial tooth
39. o TYPE C: oblique drifting due to non replacement of a
missing tooth.
o TYPE D : permanent occlusal openings to interdental
spaces:
i. Drifting after extraction of adjacent tooth.
40. ii. Habit of forcing teeth out of position.
iii. Periodontal diseases.
iv. Caries.
41. • CLASS III : EXTRUSION BEYOND THE
OCCLUSAL PLANE.
Extrusion of a tooth which was previously retaining
with the adjacent mesial and distal teeth result in
occlusal step deformity between marginal ridges of
extruded and non intruded teeth.
42. • CLASS IV : CONGENITAL MORPHOLOGIC
ABNORMALITIES OF TEETH.
Any congenital morphologic abnormalities in size ,
shape , form and position of tooth leads to open
proximal contact and food impaction.
43. • Subdivided :
o TYPE A: position of a tooth in torsion .
o TYPE B: emphasized embrassures between thick
neck teeth.
44. • TYPE C: faciolingual tilting.
• TYPE D : improperly constructed cantilever
restoration.
• TYPE E : scalloped cervical bevels on the tissue
borne areas of prosthetic restorations
45. SEQUELAE OF FOOD IMPACTION
Food impaction serves :
• to initiate gingival and periodontal disease .
• aggrevates the severity of pre-existent pathological
changes.
46. Signs and symptoms associated with food impaction are:
• Feeling of pressure
• Urge to dig the material from between the teeth
• Vague pain radiating deep in the jaws
• Gingival inflammation with bleeding
• Gingival recession
48. • Varying degrees of:
a. Inflammatory involvement of the PDL
with an associated elevation of tooth in its
socket.
b. Prematurity in functional contact.
c. Sensitivity to percussion.
49. SEQUALAE FOLLOWING LOSS OF PROXIMAL CONTACT
BONE LOSS AND TOOTH MOBILITY
POCKET FORMATION
GINGIVAL INFLAMMATION
FOOD IMPACTION
LOSS OF PROXIMAL CONTACT RELATIONSHIPS
58. CONCLUSION
• An intact proximal contact relationship, prevents
forceful wedging of food interproximally.
• The proximity of the contact point to the occlusal
plane reduces the tendency towards food impaction in
the smaller occlusal embrassure.
59. • Proper restoration by restoring the contour and
contact points of tooth can help to prevent food
impaction in certain patients.
