Clinical DH, Fl and antimicrobials Flashcards
name regulated waste
sharps, items soaked in blood/saliva, hard and soft tissues removed from puts mouth
invisible, airborne particles, remain in the air for awhile
aerosol
visible airborne particles of blood/saliva, drop quickly to floor
spatter
kill/inactivate most pathogenic microbes, not spores
disinfectants
type of disinfectant, corrosive to metals, strong odor
chlorine based compounds
type of disinfectant, not corrosive, have ow kill spectrum, limited efficacy
quaternary compounds
type of disinfectant, should not be used as surface disinfectant because of toxic effects, also corrosive
Gluteraldehydes
level of surface disinfectant used in dental setting, must kill TB organisms
Intermediate
chemical spore test
Geobacillus stearothermophilus
dry heat spore test
bacillus atrophaeus
steam spore test
geobacillus stearothermophilus
do external indicators garnet sterility?
no- just that they have been heat processed
pt has decayed #30, ask about whitening. what do I dress first?
whitening
nutrient source for supra ging calculus
saliva
nutrient source for sub ging calc?
crevicular fluid and inflammatory exudate
stain- gram positive bactera, typically located on cervical 1/3 of facials and linguals
black line
stain- associated with poor dental hygiene and/or drinking dark colored beverages
brown
stain- associated with tobacco product use
darn brown and black
stain- chromogenic bacteria in plaque; associated with poor OH, mostly on ant. teeth
orange
can be associated with chlorhexidine use of stannous Fl, stannous Fl reaction is from reaction of tin ion in the FL
yellow brown and brown
associated with poor OH, chromogenic bacteria, fungi and gingival hemorrhage
green
early evidence of bone loss, instrument can enter the depression leading to the furcation
Class I (empty triangle)
moderate bone loss, instrument can enter furcation, but cannot pass between the roots
Class II (empty triangle)
sever bone loss, instrument can pass between roots
Class III (shaded in triangle)
same as class III, but evidence of recession
Class IV (shaded in triangle)
what probe is best for assessing furcations?
Nabers
Mobility. normal
1 or I
mobility. slight horizontal mobility
2 or II
mobility, moderate horizontal mobility greater than 1 mm, no vertical displacement
3 or III
demin beings at what pH for enamel
4.5-5.5
