Q

DENTAL CARIES
Pathophysiology

A

plaque composed of polysaccharide /enzyme matrix with bacterial colonies that attach to tooth surfaces

bacteria metabolize dietary carbohydrate producing acid byproducts that lower pH below 5.5 threshold to decalcify teeth

DENTAL CARIES
Predisposing Factors

A
  1. bacteria –varies- dependent on host

    b. streptococcus mutans
    c. actinomyces viscosus
  2. diet –glucose
  3. plaque retention

Q

PA’s and caries detection

A
  1. Helpful for caries detection if XCP technique used to minimize linear distortion in the vertical dimension
  2. Horizontal angulation must project non-overlappedcontacts

B/Li caries

A

occurring on B/L surfaces
usually on buccal (tongue can remove L plaque)
Difficult to localize on a single view

what is this lesion?

A

cervical burnout

49
Q
A

burnout

Q

Incipient Occlusal Caries on radiographs
