18 - Carious Lesions INCOMPLETE Flashcards
what are the two classes of extensive carious lesions
D2 - Moderately deep lesions
D3 - deep carious lesions
what is penetration of caries into dentin that is easily demonstrated and may involved up to 1/2 thickness between DEJ and pulp
D2 moderately deep lesions
what are lesions that extend beyong 1/2 the distance between DEJ and the pulp
D3 deep carious lesions
what usualy encroaches upon the pulp, or less than 1 mm of dentin remains between prep and pulp

D3
what type of dentin: initial dentin formed, thin layer just below enamel
mantle
what type of dentin formed as tooth erupts
primary dentin (circumpulpal)
what type of dentin is formed thru functional life of tooth in response to mild pulpal irritation
secondary dentin
Sound, normal dentin that forms normally on all internal aspects of the pulp cavity throughout the life of the tooth.
Secondary Dentin
Forms in response to stimuli such as caries, attrition, and
operative procedures. AKA reparative or reactive dentin. Less
mineralized and contains irregular tubules. Localized deposit on the wall
of the pulp space adjacent to where the tooth was irritated.
Tertiary Dentin
In response aging or mild irritation like slowly advancing
caries. Walls off the lesion by blocking (sealing) dentinal tubules. Usually
harder and darker than normal dentin.
Sclerotic Dentin
what is soft dentin also called
infected dentin or outer carious dentin
what has bacterial contamination, low mineral content, irreversibly denatured collagen, and lacks structure and can easaily be excavated with hand or rptary instruments
soft dentin
what is firm dentin also called
affected or inner carious dentin
what has demineralization of intertubular dentin, softer than normal dentin, collagen cross linking remains intact (serves as template for remin), resostant to hand excavation, only removed by exerting pressure (sometimes called leathery at the transiion soft and firm
firm dentin
___ dentin needs to be remove all of it because collagen will not come back
___ dentin you can leave
infected; affected
what zone:
Deepest zone (assuming lesion hasn’t reached the pulp!)
May include tertiary, sclerotic and normal (sound) dentin
hard dentin
