What is reversible pulpits and how do you test for it?

A

Pulpal inflammation that should resolve following removal of aetiology.

Characterised by short sharp pain on application of cold stimulus which lingers a few seconds after stimulus is removed

Q

What is irreversible pulpits and how do you test for it?

A

Q

Name two thermal properties of acrylic dentures and why it is important?

A
  • Low thermal conductivity - the denture base would not be able to transmit heat that well to the palate, the patient would be less sensitive to the temperature of fluid/food
  • high softening temperature of the acrylic - tolerant to hot food and drinks but must inform patient to not clean denture using boiling water

A

canine positioned behind canine guidance lines

61
Q

What are possible faults that could cause one side of posterior wider on a radiography ?

A

Patient head slightly rotated in the OPT machine
