Q

list bacterial virulence factors

A

bacterial virulence factors = enable bacterial invasion and colonisation of periodontium

**bacteria characteristics
**- pili/fimbriae = adhesion/invasion
- capsule = protection against phagocytosis
- peptides = induces inflammation

**produced produced by bacteria **
- exotoxins = damage host immune cells
- enzymes = damage host proteins + acquire nutrients

Q

describe secondary dentine

A
  • formed AFTER completion of root formation and thoroughout tooth ageing process
  • aka circumpulpal dentine
  • scatters more slowly than primary
  • causes canals to be smaller w age [deposition = decreased pulp chamber size]- - forms at roof and floor of roof chamber

Q

describe tertiary dentine

A

forms if dentine experiences
- mechanical trauma
- irritation
- exposed hypersens dentin
- carious dentine
- traumatic cavity prep

reactionary
- forms in response to insult, damange sustained but **existing cells recover **
- formed by existing odontoblasts

reparative
- forms in response to insult, damage sustained –> original odontoblasts destroyed –> induces odontoblast precursors to differentiate and produce calcified tissue

Q

outline oral mucosa classifications

A

lining mucosa
- found in areas which dont func in mastication
- softer surface texture, moist surface, ability to stretch/compress, cushions underlying structures
- eg soft palate, central surface of tongue, floor of mouth, alveolar mucosa, labial and bicca; mucosa

masticatory mucosa
- comes into primary contact w food during mastication
- covers immobile structures and firmly bound - well adapted to withstanding abrasion
- eg hard palate, free + attached gingiva

specialised mucosa
- assists in mastication + taste buds
lingual papillae
- foliate papillae - not well devel in humans
- filiform - ant 2/3 tongue
- fungiform - ant 2/3 tongue

Q

describe what happens in the pre eruptive phase

A
  • movements related to tooth eruption occur PRIOR to crown formation [ant tooth germs move M and molars move D]
  • movements facilitated by
    bodily movment - mediated by bone remodelling of crypts
  • incl early initiation - finishes @ early root formation
19
Q

describe what happens in the pre eruptive phase

A
  • elongation/ development of root needs SPACE –> given by occlusal/incisal eruption
    [allows root, dentin, cementum development]

axial/occlusal movement eruption pathway
- tissue removed by macrophages
- bone remodelled via osteoclasts

REE proliferates upwards, oral ectoderm proliferates downwards = cells fuse creating JE which attaches to developmental cuticle via hemidesmosomes

crown tip penetrates oral mucosa, causing stretching and thinning of mucosa = developmental cuticle remains

occlusal movement cont. until contact w opposing crown

more exposed crown shifts oral epithelium to cervical region

fine trabeculae form in fundic region, bone becomes denser when func occ reached

deciduous roots resorped to make way for permanent eruption sequence

debatable mechanisms
1. hammock ligamant theory [fibrous tx band at apex = root pushes against this]
2. bone remodelling theory
3. ligament traction theory
4. vasculuar pressure theory

20
Q

describe what happens in the post eruptive/ func phase

A

occurs when teeth reach func occ and continues as long as teeth are present

during process of root completion - alveolar height increases

fundic alveolar plates resorp to accomodate formation of root tip apex

marked changes
- ^ bone mineral density
- ^ density and orientation in PDL

THREE catergories
1. accomodation of growth
- occurs 14-18, completes towards 20yo
- socket readjustments from new bone deposition

  1. compensation of occlusal wear
    - continued cementum deposition [only after teeth move]
  2. accomodation for interproximal wear
    - at contact points
    - M drifting accomodtes for interproximal wear
    - up to 7mm in mandible
21
Q

distinguish between major and minor glands

A

major
- carry secretion through longer main duct into oral cavity
- parotid, submandibular, sublingual
- inactive during sleep

minor
- empty sec. via short ducts
- separated small glands throughout mouth
- active all the time
- mostly mucous w/ some serous influence

BOTH = compose of epithelium + CT
epithelium = lines duct system and produces saliva
CT = surrounds epithelium - protecting tissue + supporting gland

22
Q

distinguish between the two secretory cell types

A

serous = high protein low carbohydrate

mucous= low protein high carbohydrate
- most minor salivary glands –> mostly mucous cells

23
Q

outline the structure of salivary glands

A

stroma [supportive CT]
- septa [carries blood and nerve –> parenchyme]
- blood vessels and nerves
- ducts
- lobules

parenchyma [glandular secretory tissue]
- accini [func unit of salivary gland]
- duct system

24
Q

describe the parenchymal structure of major salivary glands

A

parotid
- largest gland
- 25% of total salivary volume
- parotid duct/Stenson’s duct opens –> parotid papilla
- mainly serous

submandibular
- 2nd largest
- 60-65% total salivary vol
- travels through Wharton’s duct –>opens into oral cavity –> sublingual caruncle
- both serous and mucous products

sublingual
- smallest
- 10% total salivary vol
- travels through Bartholin’s duct –> open into oral cavity –> sublingual caruncle
- mainly mucous

25
briefly describe the TMJ
TMJ - temporomandibular joint - compound synovial joint on each side of head - connects mandible --> temporal bone - allows for mastication, speech, respiratory movement - most complex set of joint in body - allows mandibular condolytes to move in gliding and hinging actions
26
outline the anatomical structure of the TMJ
upper - articular eminence [top hump in bone] - anterior part of glenoid fossa [socket] - articular disc aka meniscus [fibrous disc div TMJ into upper/lower parts] lower - condyle head of mandible [pivot in joint which lower jaw swings
27
state bacteria classification groups
1. gram staining [positive / negative] 2. cell morphology - cocci [spherical] - bacilli [rectangular] - spirilla [curved/spiral shape] 3. motile vs non motile 4. relationship w oxygen to sustain life - aerobes - anaerobes
28
state biofilm formation steps
1. ACQUIRED PELLICLE FORMATION - mins after enamel is cleansed --> film [acquired pellicle] of salivary glycoproteins and antibodies forms over tooth surface - pellicle facilitates bacterial adhesion 2. ASSOCIATION // ADHESION - association = within few hrs after pellicle formation, bacteria associates loosely w acquired pellicle - adhesion = early colonisers - non pathogenic bacteria bind to pellicle - streptococcus species 3. COAGGREGATION AND MULTIPLATION - coaggregation of SECONDARY colonisers [bacteria have specific coaggregation partners - biofilm develops - multiplication = attached micro-organisms multiple 4. MICROCOLONY FORMATION - attachment of FUSOBACTERIUM NUCLEATEUM [g-neg rod] to biofilm and bridges the early coloniser with late colonisers [more g-neg yet to come] - extracellular polysaccharide [EPS] matrix = sec layer that surrounds microcolonies = acts as protective barrier from antibiotics, immune system - - EPS matrix also provides reserve of carbs, aids adherence and acts as diffusion barrier 5. MATURATION + DISPERSAL - bacteria proliferate away from tooth --> create mushroom shaped colonies attached to tooth by NARROW base - periodontal pathogens begin to coaggregate
29
list 3 cariogenic bacteria species
lactobacilli Streptococcus mutans Streptococcus sobrinus all are g-pos anaerobes
30
list five periodontal pathogen species
red socransky's complex treponema denticola porphyromonas gingivalis tannerella forsythia orange socransky's complex fusobacterium nucleateum prevotella intermedia
31
what do the colours in Socranky's Complexes indicate
yellow/green = early colonisers - compatible w gingival health orange/red = major etiologic agents of periodontal disease
32
benefits of bacteria living in supragingival vs subgingival environment
supragingival - available nutrients [dietary carbohydrates] - other bacteria species present - salivary glycoproteins subgingival - little to no saliva - pH fairly consistent - available nutrients [serum proteins]
33
describe amalgam composition
silver alloy powder [silver, copper, tin] mixed with mercury [mixing reaction = amalgamation] one of the oldest direct resto materials high copper amalgams = higher strength, less corrosion, less creep, better longevity at margins
34
outline amalgam classification
particle composition - copper / zinc content particle shape - alloy particle geometry and size - spherical, irregular [lathe cut], admixed - irregular [provides more resistance to packing but very strong] - spherical [more easily condensed - req less mercury] most popular = admixed high copper amalgam
35
outline amalgam chemistry
reaction between silver alloy and mercury = amalgamation - when reaction complete, little-no mercury left unreacted when high copper alloy particles contact mercy, the copper, silver, tin --> dissolve into mercury - new solid products begin to crystallise until they harden completely set amalgam contains unchanged particle cores consisting of gamma phase [Y] surrounded by matrix of gamma 1 Y1 and gamma 2 Y2 - gamma 2 Y2 = ^ corrosion, creep and lower strength - modern amalgam has higher copper = less gamma 2Y2
36
what is the composition of admixed high copper amalgam
silver 69% tin 17% copper 13% zinc 1%
37
what is dimensional change in amalgam
in freshly mixed amalgam : contraction = negative dimensional change - may cause gaps in restoration - tooth prone to leakge and recurrent decay expansion = positive dimensional change - may cause post of sens or protrusion from cavity
38
what is creep in amalgam
repeated mastication = creep - margin breakdown as the thin margins gradually stretch out and fracture causing ditches at margins
39
differentiate tarnish from corrosion in amalgam
tarnish = discolouration of restoration - lack of lustre - chemical reaction restricted to amalgam surface - will NOT cause restoration failure corrosion - chemical reactions which penetrate amalgam body - eventually leads to restoration failure BOTH occur on rough surfaces = having a smooth amalgam limits these problems
40
indications vs contraindications for amalgam restorations
indications - large restos in perm premolars + molars - areas of high masticatory forces - due to durability and strength - moisture tolerant - can be used in difficult moisture isolation situations contraindications - not for use in deciduous dentition - not for anterior teeth where aesthetics important - small class I and II restorations where moisture isolation possible
41
describe GIC for restorations
water-based cement formed by acid/base reaction - polyalkenoic acid // base of ion-leachable, fluoride containing, calcium, strontium or strontium aluminosilicate glass - does not have compressive strength of amalgam - does not have flexural strength or aesthetics of CR
42
outline GIC properties
**biocompatibility** - biological potential [calcium, fluoride ions able to diffuse in and out of material = remin] - resistant to plaque - fluoride release - pulp response to GIC [resolves inflammation] **solubility and dinsintegration **- dimensional change - resistance to fracture - abrasion resistance
43
list GIC indications and contraindications
indications - restorative [deciduous, perm class III and V where aesthetics not important, ART techniques, root caries] - temps - fissue protections - lining/base - luting cements contraindications - class IV fractures - large areas of labial surfaces where aesthetics important - class II where conventional cavity prepped - lost cusps - under full crown or PFM - in areas subject to higher occlusal loading
