Sciences Belgaum, Karnataka, India Vandana Dahiya MDS Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics Haryana Civil Medical Services Faridabad, Haryana India Foreword It gives me great pleasure to write a foreword for History Taking and Clinical Examination in Dentistry The approach adopted by the author should be a great help to those taking history and doing examination for diagnosis and treatment planning in dentistry The idea of taking symptom complexes and then describing the diagnostic possibilities with guides to the management both of the disease itself and of the symptoms will be valuable to all who have to deal with problems of this sort I hope that it will be valuable to all those who have to deal with the clinical differential diagnosis It should be of particular use to teaching faculty, undergraduate and postgraduate dental students and dental practitioners It is the sort of book that should be in the hands of students of dentistry entering the clinics during their clinical postings Rahul J Hegde (Executive Member, Dental Council of India) Vice-Principal, Professor and Head Department of Pediatric Dentistry Bharati Vidyapeeth University Dental College Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India President, Indian Society of Pediatric Dentistry Senate Member, Maharashtra University of Health Sciences Preface The most important core skills for dental students to master are history taking and clinical examination This book has been written with the philosophy that the acquisition of clinical skills is most effectively undertaken at the chairside This book should be used as a companion, to be taken in the clinics where the information is most needed The book begins with a system of history taking followed by chapters covering clinical examination and diagnosis Each stage of the examination starts with a detailed step-by-step description of the examination method complemented by relevant illustrations, diagrams and tables This book is intended primarily for use at the outset of clinical training; once students have achieved proficiency in the basic skills of interviewing and examining, the book should also prove useful for revision This book was written keeping in mind the problems faced in clinics by undergraduate and postgraduate students regarding history taking, clinical examination, diagnosis and treatment planning as no book is available in the market focusing specifically on these topics Charu M Marya Acknowledgments I would like to express my gratitude to many people who provided support, read, wrote, offered comments,

Taking and Clinical Examination in Dentistry If a node is palpable, record the: •• Site •• Size: Measure using Vernier calipers •• Texture: Soft (in case of infection), rubbery hard (in case of Hodgkin’s disease), stony hard (in case of secondary carcinoma) •• Tenderness to palpation: In case of infection •• Fixation to surrounding tissues may suggest metastatic cancer •• Coalescence in case of tuberculosis •• Number of nodes: Multiple in case of glandular fever, leukemia, etc Palpable node characteristics: •• Acute infection: Large, soft, painful, mobile, discrete, rapid onset •• Chronic infection: Large, firm, less tender, mobile •• Lymphoma: Rubbery hard, matted, painless, multiple •• Metastatic cancer: Stony hard, fixed to underlying tissues, painless Area of Lymphatic Drainage of Face The face has three lymphatic territories: The upper territory: Including the greater part of the forehead, the lateral halves of the eyelids, the conjunctiva, the lateral part of the cheek and the parotid area, drains into the preauricular (parotid) nodes The middle territory: Including a strip over the median part of the forehead, the external nose, the upper lip, the lateral part of the lower lip, the medial halves of the eyelids, the medial part of the cheek and the greater part of the lower jaw, drains into the submandibular nodes The lower territory: Including the central part of the lower lip and chin, drains into the submental nodes Extraoral Examination 153 TEMPOROMANDIBULAR JOINT Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is the site of articulation between the mandible and the skull, specifically the area about the articular eminence of the temporal bone This bilateral joint functions to open and close the jaws and to approximate the teeth of the opposing arches during mastication The articulation consists of parts of the mandible and temporal bones, which are covered by dense, fibrous connective tissue and are surrounded by several ligaments (Fig.10.13) The TMJ is a ginglymoarthrodial joint, a term that is derived from ginglymus, meaning a hinge joint, allowing motion only backward and forward in one plane, and arthrodia, meaning a joint which permits gliding motion of the surfaces The right and left TMJ form a bicondylar articulation and ellipsoid variety of the synovial joints, similar to knee articulation Interposed between the two bones is a fibrous articular disc, compartmentalizing the joint into two separate synovial-lined cavities Several pairs of muscles attached to Fig 10.13: Anatomy of temporo-mandibular joint 154 History Taking and Clinical Examination in Dentistry the mandible produce the movements necessary to suckle, ingest, masticate food, swallow, yawn, and produce speech The importance is to determine deviation of jaw from the midline during the opening and closing of the jaws Causes of Jaw Deviation Traumatic injuries of the joint Infection of the jaw Fractures of the jaw Muscular hypertrophy and hypotrophy The lateral mandibular range of motion or movement is assessed “normal to 10 mm” by having the patient to occlude the teeth and then slide the jaw in both directions The range of movement from midline and any pain, location and severity is recorded Maximum interincisal opening: As a general guide, mobility is considered to be reduced if the subject is unable to open his or her jaw to the width of two fingers (
