4
Q

3 main factors of caries

A
  1. tooth
  2. dental plaque
  3. diet (refined carbs)

without all three, caries is not possible

16
Q

what is the process of bacterial metabolism - causes acidogenesis (lactic acid)

A

anaerobic glycolysis

17
Q

what is pH change in plaque metabolism

A

7.0 to 4.5

18
Q

when does enamel begin to demineralize

A

5.0 to 5.5

19
Q

when eating, the drop in pH occurs for how many minutes

A

30 minutes

20
Q

T/F: quality of food is more important than frequency

A

FALSE! frequency is more important than quality

21
Q

what are secondary (recurrent) caries

A

on tooth surface at margin of existing restoration. caused by same bacteria that cause primary caries. this is the most common reason for restoration replacement

22
Q

what are the 3 stages of carious lesion development

A
  1. incipient - can be arrested or reversed
  2. demineralization to and past DEJ
  3. overt or frank - cavitation present, operative intervention necssary
23
Q

what do pit and fissure caries look like when spread

A
24
Q

what do interproximal caries look like hwen spread

A
25
Q

do all white spot lesions lead to cavities

A

YES

26
Q

what are zones of incipient lesion from surface

A
  1. surface zone
  2. body of lesion
  3. dark zone
  4. translucent zone
27
Q

what zone:

Deepest part of the lesion.
Advancing part of the lesion.
Slight demineralization.
1% pore space.

A

translucent zone

28
Q

what zone:

Pore space of 2-4%.
Deepest part of the lesion that can be
re-mineralized.

A

dark zone

29
Q

what zone:

Pore space of 5-25%
Remanents of enamel crystals
still maintain orientation in the
protein matrix.

A

body of lesion

30
Q

what zone:

Pore space 1%
Can be re-mineralized.
If no re-mineralization occurs, the
surface zone becomes
undermined and collapses. The
lesion is then no longer incipient.

A

surface zone

31
Q

what are the five zones of carious dentin

A
  1. destruction - closest to DEJ
  2. penetration
  3. demineralization
  4. translucency
  5. reactionary dentin or sclerotic
32
Q

what is deposited y the pulp in response to irritation (amorphous)

A

reactionary dentin

33
Q

what are non-vital calcific tracts of dentinal tubules

A

sclerotic tubules

34
Q

clinical appearance of active lesion

A

white, chalky or dull, rough, porous

35
Q

clinical appearance of inactive lesion

A

white to black, shiny, smooth, hard

36
Q

if lesion is shiny and hard, do you need to remove it?

A

nO

37
Q

what are the cariogenic bacteria

A

s. mutans gram +
l. casei gram +

38
Q

what is the primary colonizer of acquired pellicle

A

s. mutans
