23
Q

How many scores ICDAS criteria for visual examination of carious lesions has?

A

0 to 6 scores

24
Q

what is score “0” of ICDAS criteria for visual examination of carious lesions ?

A

No or slight change in enamel translucency after prolonged air drying (for 5 seconds)

25
what is score "1" of ICDAS criteria for visual examination of carious lesions ?
First visual change in enamel (seen only after prolonged air drying or restricted to within the confines of a pit or fissure)
26
what is score "2" of ICDAS criteria for visual examination of carious lesions ?
Distinct visual changes in enamel
27
what is score "3" of ICDAS criteria for visual examination of carious lesions ?
Localized enamel breakdown in opaque or discolored enamel (without visual signs of dentinal involvement)
28
what is score "4" of ICDAS criteria for visual examination of carious lesions ?
underlying dark shadow from dentine
29
what is score "5" of ICDAS criteria for visual examination of carious lesions ?
distinct cavity with visible dentine
30
what is score "6" of ICDAS criteria for visual examination of carious lesions ?
extensive distinct cavity with visible dentine (involving more than half of the surface)
31
what class of caries Is this according to blacks classification and why?
this is class 1 because it is located in pits and fissures
32
what class of caries Is this according to blacks classification and why?
class 2 it is located on the smooth surfaces of caries located in the --> proximal surfaces of posterior teeth
33
This is a radiological image of which class of Black's classification of caries?
class 2
34
This is a radiological image of which class of Black's classification of caries?
class 5 and 6
35
This is a radiological image of which class of Black's classification of caries?
class 3 and 4
36
This is a radiological image of which class of Black's classification of caries?
class 2
37
This is a radiological image of which class of Black's classification of caries?
class 1
38
what are clinical manifestations of pulp disease?
1. pain 2. pulp hyperemia 3. pain disappears after cessation of the stimulus 4. Hyperalgesia 5.Pulp hyperemia (reversible pulpitis) 5. Acute pulpitis (irreversible pulpitis) 6. sharp localized pain, outlasts the stimulus 7. spontansous dull pain with exacerbations precipitated by external stimuli 8. pulp necrosis
39
Describe the clinical manifestations of pulp disease "pulp necrosis"?
1. non-responsive to stimuli 2. non-vital 3. acute apical periodontitis 4. chronic apical periodontitis 5. tooth discoloration
40
Describe the clinical manifestations of pulp disease "pulp hyperemia"?
is reversible pulpitis: pain disappears after cessation of the stimulus
41
Describe the clinical manifestations of pulp disease "Hyperalgesia"?
lower threshold of stimulus on pulp vitality test
42
what type of dental lesion is this?
pulp necrosis
43
what does the caries lesion progression and morphology follows?
it follows the inclination of enamel rods and/or dentinal tubules
44
what are the sites of origin of pits and fissure lesions?
pit- and fissure lesions have small sites of origin visible on the occlusal surface but have a wide base
45
what is the shape of the pit and fissure lesion?
overall shape of a pit- and - fissure lesion is an inverted V
46
what is the shape of smooth surface lesion?
In contrast, a smooth- surface lesion is V shaped with wide area of origin and apex of the the V directed toward pulp
47
where do root caries begins?
root caries begins directly on dentin
48
why root-surface lesions can progress rapidly?
root-surface lesions can progress rapidly because dentin is less resistant to caries attack
49
can we see dentin and pulp changes?
yes, Dentin and pulp changes in dentin can be seen even before the lesion reached the dentin
50
what does the bacterial invasion of lesion results in?
bacterial invasion of lesion results in extensive demineralization and proteolysis of the dentin
51
Clinically, how the necrotic dentin appears?
appears a. soft b. wet c. mushy
52
so, clinically --> this necrotic dentin appears soft, wet, and mushy what we see deeper pulpally?
deeper pulpally, dentin is demineralized and structurally intact. This tissue appears to be dry and leathery in texture
53
what are reactions of the dental pulp?
1. chronic inflammatory changes 2. tertiary dentin formation 3. acute inflammation
54
reaction of dental pulp "chronic inflammatory changes " when does it occur?
start very early
55
why tertiary dentin formation starts?
start early as a defense mechanism
56
when acute inflammation of the dental pulp starts?
when bacteria invade the reparative dentin
