Question 4

4

Which level of pulpal response is this: Inflammation and necrosis

Question 5

5

In a level 1 pulpal response, sclerotic dentin is formed by dentinal tubules becoming sclerosed and filled with what kind of dentin?

Question 6

5

Sclerotic dentin narrows the _____ of the tubule to decrease _____.

Question 7

7

This type of dentin is formed in the level 1 pulpal response and is slowly formed dentin that constricts the dimensions of the pulp chamber.

Question 8

8

What two things die in level 2 pulpal response to severe inflammation?

Question 9

8

Level 2 pulpal response can lead to differentiation of ______, which produces _____ on the pulpal wall.

Question 10

8

In level 2 pulpal response, if only the odontoblastic process dies, this results in empty dentinal tubules called _____.

Question 11

9

What is tertiary dentin caused by external stimulus that reactivates the dentinogenic activity of pre-existing odontoblasts?

Question 12

9

What is the teriary dentin that is generated by osteoblast-like reparative cells (odontoblast is dead).

39

What are the three categories of intermediary materials?

Question 22

Question 28

46 For CaOH, the prep must be how deep?

Question 29

51 What does this describe? Any substance that blocks out undercuts in the preparation, acts as a thermal or chemical barrier to the pulp, and controls the thickness of the overlying restoration.
