E1 Huang Flashcards
What are the criteria (4) for high risk CAMBRA?
- Visible cavities
- Caries restored in the last 3 years
- Interproximal carious lesions/radiolucecy
- White spots on enamel surfaces
What are the additional factors for high risk CAMBRA?
Bacterial test for MS and LB.
Observations tell us nothing about the cause of disease
What are the criteria for moderate risk CAMBRA?
- MS and LB is medium or high by culture
- Visible heavy plaque
- Frequent snacks
- Deep pits and fissures
- Recreational drug use
- Low salivary flow (less than .5ml/min)
- Saliva reducing factors (meds, radtherapy, systemic diseases (Sjogren’s sydrome))
- Exposed tooth roots
- Ortho appliances present
Is a bacterial test required for moderate risk CAMBRA?
No, it is optional
What are the criteria for low risk CAMBRA?
- Fluoridatation
- Fluoride toothpaste 1-2x daily
- Fluoride mouthrinse daily (.05% NaF)
- 5000 ppm F toothpaste
- Fluoride varnish in last 6 months
- Office fluoride topical in last 6 months
- CHX used one week each off last 6 months
- Xylitol 4x daily last 6 months
- MI paste last 6 months
- Adequate saliva flow (greater than 1ml/min)
What is the effect of diet?
Frequent snacks increase time in demineralization phase
What does dietary survey measure?
Liquid
Solid or sticky
Slowly dissolving
Calculate dietary risk
What is the normal simulated salivary flow?
1.0 to 3.0 mL/min or more
What rate of salivary flow is considered high risk?
Less than .7 mL/min
What is the effect of fluoride in plaque?
Inhibits bacterial glycolysis
What is highly correlated with MS bacterial levels?
ATP acitivity
What do the CariScreen numbers mean?
0-1500=low risk
1501-9999=high risk
How much CHX to use for how long?
10mL and swish for 1 minute daily for 7 days and then discontinue
What is the difference b/w DMFT and dmft?
Capital letters are for permanent teeth. Lower case for primary teeth. Decayed Missing Filled Teeth
What does the development of caries require?
- Susceptible tooth
- Time
- Pathogenic bacteria
- Substrate
Are antimicrobials indicated for low and moderate risk CAMBRA? High and Extreme?
No.
Yes.
