25
Q

Chronic diseases not passed from person to person

A

Non-communicable disease

26
Q

Affected by the depth, extent, and shape of the anatomical grooves and fissures

A

Pit and Fissures

27
Q

Usually begins just below the contact area for proximal caries and is preceded by the accumulation of dental plaque.

A

Smooth surface caries

28
Q

Relatively rapid progression, usually asymptomatic, closer to the pulp, and difficult to restore

A

Root surface caries

29
Q

Subsurface demineralization but with intact enamel surface

A

Incipient caries

30
Q

Presence of visual breakdown on the tooth surface and requires restorative intevertion

A

Cavitated lesion

31
Q

Dentinal caries found radiographically below apparently sound occlusal surface

A

Hidden caries

32
Q

Caries lesion considered to be biologically active, and the tooth demineralization is in frank activity at the time of examination

A

Active caries lesion

33
Q

Caries that has become static, showing no tendency for further progression

A

Inactive/Arrested caries

34
Q

Eburnated dentin (harder, dark, brown)

A

Sclerotic dentin

35
Q

Presence of extensive and multiple cavitated and active caries lesion on the same person, and typically used in association with ‘baby bottle caries’, ‘radiation therapy caries’, or ‘meth mouth caries’

A

Rampant caries

36
Q

Initial location of the lesion is on the tooth surface and is not adjacent of an existing restoration or crown

A

Primary caries

37
Q

Recurrent caries that occurs on the margins/walls of esisting tooth restorations

A

Secondary caries

38
Q

Carious tissue that was not completely excavated prior to placing a restoration

A

Residual caries

39
Q

Caries lesion in enamel, indicating that the lesion has not penetrated into dentin

A

Enamel caries

40
Q

Caries lesion extending into dentin

A

Dentin caries

41
Q

Father of operative dentistry and one of the founders of modern dentistry in the US

A

Greene Vardiman Black (GV Black)

42
Q

Commonly the first type of caries to appear in the mouth, affecting the pits and fissures on occlusal surfaces of posterior teeth, lingual surfaces of Mx molars, Buccal surfaces of Md molars, and lingual pits of upper anterior teeth

A

Class I

43
Q

Involves the proximal surfaces of posterior teeth, usually initiates just below contact area, and related to plaque accumulation in the non-self-cleansing areas

A

Class II

44
Q

Involves the proximal surfaces of anterior teeth but without the involvement of the incisal angle

A

Class III

45
Q

Affects the proximal surfaces of incisal angle of anterior teeth

A

Class IV

46
Q

Caries affecting the cervical third of either the labial/buccal or lingual surfaces of any tooth

A

Class V

47
Q

Simon’s modification; involved the cusp tip of posterior teeth or the incisal tip of anterior teeth

A

Class VI
