hello Dr. Ryan. Question 10, permanent first molar erupts at 6 years of age, this kid is 6.5 years, why is nance appliance not an option. Please clarify. Thank you in advance.
I got 14/15 correct. Thank you a lot for your help! I got the lidocaine question wrong, will be remembering the magic numbers 4.4mg/kg for pedo patients, and will be remembering 36mg of lidocaine for every carp!
15/15! Appreciate your time and efforts for helping out with the boards nightmare. I have also asked few other colleagues to join your patreon page! :)
If you are struggling like me to understand how to calculate the dosage : (Weight of child (kg) x Recommended dose of lidocaine (mg/kg)) / Concentration of lidocaine solution (mg/ml) = Volume of lidocaine needed (ml) Number of carpules needed = Volume of lidocaine needed (ml) / Volume per carpule (ml/carpule) Here is an example of how this equation can be used to calculate the number of carpules needed for a child weighing 20 kg and requiring a dose of 2% lidocaine: Determine the appropriate dose of lidocaine based on the child's weight. The dose of lidocaine is typically expressed in mg/kg, and a common starting point is to use a dose of 4 mg/kg for children. For a child weighing 20 kg, the appropriate dose of lidocaine would be 4 mg/kg x 20 kg = 80 mg. Determine the concentration of the lidocaine solution. Lidocaine is usually available in concentrations of 1% or 2%. For example, if the lidocaine solution being used has a concentration of 2% (20 mg/ml), we can use the following formula to calculate the volume of lidocaine needed: Volume (ml) = (Weight of child (kg) x Recommended dose of lidocaine (mg/kg)) / Concentration of lidocaine solution (mg/ml) = (20 kg x 4 mg/kg) / 20 mg/ml = 4 ml Calculate the number of carpules needed based on the volume of lidocaine needed and the volume per carpule. A typical carpule of lidocaine contains approximately 1.8 ml of the solution. Therefore, to administer 4 ml of lidocaine to a child weighing 20 kg, the number of carpules needed would be: Number of carpules = 4 ml / 1.8 ml/carpule = 2.2 carpules Thanks for ChatGPT3.
You are amazing!! Best content and explanation. I paid 3k on a course and it's not even close to your course. Your Knowledge, organization and powerful tips are key to NBDE ! God bless you
Ryan, you're such a bless!!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge in a practical and easy understanding way. I wonder if the day of the test they allow you to use a calculator? hahahaha
Hey , May I ask you DR Ryan and those of you who may know. Regarding question 10...Is it a painful thing for the kids to wear a distal shoe? What with it being placed a little bit subgingival and all?
Thank you very much for your efforts dr ryan i am studying for the boards and your videos are really helpful especially in these times, once again thank you very much. may i ask what topic you will be covering next?
Hi, thank you first, but as for question number 13 the anterior open bite is also a cause for traumatic injury due to the labial inclination of the Maxillary incisors!
The clinical significance comes into play when considering preparation design for Class II cavity preparations. Since the enamel rods slope downward for permanent teeth in the cervical region of the crown, there is the extra consideration to remove unsupported enamel with a gingival margin trimmer or some other instrument.
