dental caries & PRP Flashcards
pits and fissure lesions enamel what shape
(triangle apex towards what)
triangle apex toward occlusal
-small site at origin
-base widens towards DEJ
pits and fissure lesion dentin what shape
(triangle apex towards what)
triangle apex towards pulp
-wide base at DEJ
-apex of cone towards pulp
progression of pits and fissures resembles two triangles with their bases meeting where
along the junction of enamel and dentin
smooth surface lesion enamel triangle shape how for origin and apex
wide area of origin
apex towards DEJ
smooth surface lesion dentin shape how
wide base at DEJ
apex of cone towards pulp
how are the triangles for enamel and dentin for smooth surface lesions
pointing inward, same direction
root surface lesion begins directly on what and typically with what
cementum/dentin
recessed gingiva
what shape for root surface lesions
pot hole (saucer-shaped)
common causes of recurrent lesions
poor oral health care
restoration w poor margins -> permit leakage, entrance of both bacteria and substrate
what bacteria invades enamel and facilitates or propagates
mutans S. facilitates
what bacteria invades dentin and facilitates or propagates
lactobacillus propogates
primary vs secodary dentin
primary - initial formation of tooth, forms the primary shape of the tooth
secondary dentin - next to pulp, lifelong
physiologically, which dentin follows the complete formation of which dentin
secondary follows complete formation of primary
how does sclerotic dentin appear and what is it
darker and harder than normal dentin
occurs as result of caries or normal aging process
what is tertiary dentin and how does it compare to primary dentin
tertiary no as hard as primary
laid down in response to attrition, caries, or restorative dental procedure
