Exam 1 Flashcards
Anthropologists tell us that the most ancient skulls found show:
Caries, alveolar bone loss, supernumerary teeth, impacted teeth, and periapical abscesses
Around 400 BC, what did Hippocrates do?
Wrote about bad breath for women
His advice was to burn the head of a Hare and 3 mice removing the intestines of 2 of them but leaving the liver and pound in a stone motar some marble and whitstone and apply with greasy wool
Whitstone
Another name for chalk and is still used in some toothpastes
Described the use of scrapers for the cleaning of teeth
Aristotle
Used as teeth cleaners by the early Mohammedans and miswaks by the people in early Saudia Arabia
Siwaks
By the middle ages (around 1500) calculus was being referenced by
Albucasis
Listed 10 rules of Oral Hygiene
Aranculus
The first dentist to be allowed to apply for membership in the College of Surgeons in Paris
Ambroise Pare
Discovered dentinal tubules when looking through his invention- the microscope
Anton van Leeuwenhoek
Determined he scrapings from teeth contained microorganisms
Anton van Leuwenhoek
Considered the father of modern dentistry and lived in America
G V Black
1638, the pilgrims had 3 barber-surgeons. Their job was to not only cut hair but
extract teeth, lance boils, etc.
It is unknown who the first dentist in America was.
True or False
True
First Dental School
1840- Baltimore College of Dental Surgery
Wrote about the curability of the diseases of the mouth
John Riggs
One of the first names for periodontal disease
Rigg’s Disease
Considered to be the first perodontis
Leonard Koecker of London
Renamed Periodontoclasia to alveolaris
F.H. Rehwinkel
Advocated his system of periodic oral prophylaxis. Time constraints caused him to train a assistant to provide the actual care
1898- Alfred C. Fones
1906- Fones trained the first hygienist, his cousin
Irene Newman
1913- Fones established the first Hygiene School in
Bridgeport Connecticut
Dentists were first granted licenses in
1841
1914 two women dentists formed the Academy of Periodontology
Grace Rogers and Gilette Hayden
Periodontal probes came into wide use after
World War 2 from 1948-1958
The Practice Community requires detailed periodontal records to:
- Provide evidence of evaluation
- Provide for the treatment of periodontal disease
- Provide care for the patient
- Protect against malpractice
6 roles for the dental hygienist:
Clinician Educator/Health promoter Consumer advocate Administrator/Manager Change Agent Researcher
Defined as the tissues that surround, support, and attach to the teeth
Periodontium
INcludes the gingiva, periodontal ligament, cementum, and the alveolar bone
Periodontium
Cuff around the tooth
Free gingiva
Varies from 1-9mm and is attached to the bone by collagen fibers
Kertinized or parakeratinized and commonly stippled
Attached gingiva
The gingiva between the teeth that fills the embrassures or space between two adjacent teeth
AKA interdental gingiva
Below the interproximal contact
Papillae
In the posteriors
You will not find this in anteriors
Will be depressed buccal to lingual not mesial to distal
Col
Where the attached gingiva meets the mucosa
Mucogingival junction
Connection occurs in the rete pegs which are ridges in the connective tissue
Basal Lamina
Stratified squamous cells mostly keratinocytes but with some Langerhans cells and Merkels cells and melanocytes
Protect and to allow selective interchange
Epithelium
Composed of attached gingiva, papillae, and the outer portion of the free gingiva
Oral Epithelium
Non or Para Kertinized Extends from the outer epithelium into the gingival sulcus to the junctional epithelium No rete pegs 1-3mm in health Inside of pocket
Sulcular Epithelium
Seperates the PDL from the oral environment
Junctional Epithelium
Kertinocytes migrate from the basal layer to the surface, they flatten and produce a keratohyaline granule layer where no cell nuclei are present
Keratinization
If the cells retain their nuclei in this process it is
Parakertinization
Phagocytic
Langerhans cells
Associated with nerve cells
Merkel cells
Contain melanin which gives a pigmented appearance thus color
Melanocytes
The lamina propria is the connective tissue beneath the gingiva made up of:
Papillary layer: the projections between the rete pegs
Reticular layer: extends to the periosteum
Runs from the cementum, just apical to cementoenamel junction, to crestal bone
Retains tooth in socket; opposes lateral forces
Alveolar crest
Directly across PDL space
Attaches root surface to alveolar bone
Horizontal
Courses in oblique direction across periodontal ligament space and into alveolar bone
Largest group of fiber bundles; transfers occlusal stresses to bone
Obilque
Runs from apex of root into alveolar bone, both apical and lateral to root apex
Does not occur in erupting teeth
Apical
Spreads apically into bone, from furcation
Present only in multirooted teeth
Interradicular
Movement of teeth gradually over time often throughout life in a mesial direction and occlusally via osteoclastic and osteoblastic action
Physiologic Mesial Migration
Resorb bone
Osteoclasts
C tells you it is carving out bone
Build bone
Osteoblasts
B tells you it is building bone
Functions of Cementum:
Anchors teeth
Maintains the occlusal relationship
Provides a seal for the dentinal tubules
Contains Sharpey’s Fibers
Near cementoenamel junction
No fibers
No cementocytes
Acellular afibrillar
