Dt3 Oral cavity ( diseases , condition pathologies) Flashcards
Biofilm
Aka plaque
Devlop on teeth consits of bacteria
Calculus
Minerlized biofilm
Hard stone like material
formed by calcium and phsopjate
Disease
Abnormal condtion that impairs in normal function.
Pathology
Study of disease innoral cavity
Lesion
Site of change in tissue structure
Due to injury or disease
2 bacteria responsible for caries
- Mutant streppoco (Ms) dental plaque
2. Lactobacilli-(LB) high sugar intake
Define Ecc
Early childhood caries
Oral disease in kids (infant-5 yrs)
Caries process
Suceptible tooth
Diet
Bacteria
3 present at the same time
Caries process
Ms and lb breaks down (ferment)carbs -produce acid- causes demenerlization of ename(remove calcuim and phosphate)
First stage of caries developmnt
Susceptible tooth
Harder to clean ,
Irregular position tooth
Eg orthodontics
Deep pits
Cariogenic diet
Refined carbs lead to deminerlization
Frequent carbs=acid attack= dmnlization
Changes ph
- What are the three factors necessary for the formation of dental caries
Susceptible tooth – harder to clean e.g. deep fissure pits
Bacteria -biofilm -not removed = increased risk of caries
diet -fermented carbs lead to demineralization +change ph.
Secondary caries
for caries occurring under or adjacent to existing dental restorations
three protective mechanisms produced by saliva
Physical -dilute remove acid
Chemical-calcium, phosphate, fluoride(calcium for remineralization)
Antibacterial- work against bacteria (less saliva=high decay risk)
- The 2 main type of periodontal disease
gingivitis -gingiva inflammation-reversible
periodontitis-inflammation of supporting tissues irreversible
