Dietary Guidance + Dental Wear Flashcards
Vitamins/Minerals associated with bone health
A, C, D, E, K
Calcium, Phosphorus, Magnesium, Fluoride
Vitamin D + Calcium
work together to help maintain hard tissue and bone.
Vitamin D aids in absorption of Calcium.
Vitamins/Minerals associated with soft tissue health
B, C, E, A
Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, Iron, Zinc, Iodine
Glossitis can result from
Vitamin B, Biotin or Folate deficiencies
Vitamin C deficiency
weakened collagen formation, poor wound healing
Vitamin A deficiency
decreased salivary excretion, xerostomia, delayed/impaired wound healing
Vitamin E deficiency
loss of integrity of cell membranes - mucosal tissue
Sodium deficiency
dry/sticky tongue/mouth, thirst
Iron deficiency
pallor, papillae atrophy, glossitis
Iodine deficiency
delayed eruption, enlarged tongue, can alter cranial development
MTHFR Gene Mutation
not able to process certain things (folate) or maybe synthetic supplements
pH of Fluorapatite Enamel
4.5
pH of Hydroxyapetate Enamel
5.5
pH of Cementum + Dentin
6.5
Dental Erosion
hydrogen ions dissolve enamel
Factors in Dentin Abrasivity Toothpaste
pH, particle size/shape, added ingredients
RDA
Relative Dentin Abrasivity
used for: erosion, hypoplasia, conditions causing dentin exposure - will need lower RDA
Active Ingredients for dentinal tubule occlusion
Sodium/Stannous Fluoride, Argine, Ca Carbonate, Amorpheous Ca, Phosphate, Casein, Phosphopeptide, Oxalates
Active Ingredients for nerve desensitization
Potassium Nitrate (depolariztion), Strontium Acetate/Chloride (desensitizes and blocks dentinal tubules)
Tubule Occluding Products
Superseal, Gluma, Zarosen
