36. Restorative Dentistry Flashcards
Tetralogy of denta caries
Diet - high sucrose diet
Host - tooth
Microorg
Time - frequency(more impt) and duration
Triad of thumbsucking
Duration(most impt) - 6hrs
Frequency - am/pm
Intensity - 1 room away
Microorg in enamel caries
Strep mutans
Dentin caries
Lactobacillus acidophilus or casei
Microorg in root or cemental caries
Actinomyces viscosus
1st bacteria to colonize oral cavity (24hrs*) (or 10-12hrs)
Most numerous in oral cavity
Strep salivarius
First to colonize plaque
24-48hrs after toothbrushing
Strep sanguis
BQ: best technique for caries examination?
Visual examination
BQ: What is the adhesive used by microorg to stick to the tooth?
Dextran
BQ: What is the sugar that prevents glucose from binding to cariogenic microorganism?
Xylitol
Is caries smaller or larger in radiograph?
Smaller
Saliva prevents caries by
Remineralization
Acts as a buffer for acids
Use proteins, enzymes, antibodies that kill microorg
Wash food away
Normal ph of saliva
6.2-7.0 (weak acid)
Critical pH = dental caries
5.5
If pH in saliva is lower that 5.5
Erosion
Ig in saliva
IgA
Stretchy property of saliva
Spinnbarkeit test
BQ: Relationship of the 2 triangles in Pits and Fissure caries in the DEJ
Base to base relationship in the DEJ
BQ: Relationship of 2 triangles in smooth surface caries in the DEJ
Apex to base / Base to apex
BQ: BEST preventive measure for Pits and Fissure caries
PFS
BQ: Best preventive measure for SMOOTH SURFACE CARIES
Fluoride
BQ: Most sensitive part of the tooth during cavity prep
DEJ
Theory about tooth sensitivity
Hydrodynamic theory
BQ: most common site of proximal caries
Between contact area and gingiva
