Exam 1: Chapter 11,12&13 Flashcards
mandibular movement toward the midline; the mediotrusive side moves toward midline in function
mediotrusion
what are active agents in triclosan toothpastes been shown to reduce plaque?
zinc citrate or copolymer of methoxyethlyene and maleic acid
the maximum intercuspation of the mand. and max. teeth, also called centric occlusion and habitual occlusion
intercuspal position
abnormal movement and can describe masticatory muscle incoordination or spasm
dyskinesia
which tooth brushing method is focused at the gingival margin?
bass method
this is a quaternary ammonium compound in mouthwashes?
cetylpyridinium
some also contain domiphen bromide
what is a disadvantage of the scrub brushing technique?
it has been associated with gingival recession
pain in the muscle
myalgia
this is a phenolic compound available without a prescription in toothpaste formulations with antiplaque, anticalculus, and antigingivitis agent..
triclosan
what happens in the phase 4 therapy?
evaluation of patients oral hygiene
smoking cessation
treatment depends on the condition of periodontium
relationship of form and function
morphofunction
what is the most effective antibacterial agent available?
chlorhexidine
root smoothness achieves all of the following except one.. which one is the exception?
delays tissue attachment enhances self cleaning promotes healing retards plaque formation sooths irritated tissues
(delays tissue attachment)
attachment gain after nonsurgical therapy should be measured carefully because inflamed tissues may not provide accurate reading
both are correct and related
these reduce the bacterial load and enhance the hosts defense to the infectious oral pathogens in chronic periodontitis, aggressive perio and perio
antibiotics
the concept of periodontal pathogens associated with different types of periodontal disease called
specific plaque hypothesis
plaque control for perio pts. include tooth brushing and use of an appropriate interdental aid. All periodontal pts. must use dental floss
the first statement is true, second is false
this is an effect enzyme suppressor including collegenase
periostat
a number of clinical trials have proved this shows no additional benefit to healing compared with scaling and root planing alone
curretage
this forces water between the teeth with a single or multiple jets of pulsed beads of water
supragingival irrigation
why is penicillin a type of antibiotic is not considered effective in perio diseases?
because the pathogens are resistant to penicillin..
enzymes produced by periodontal pathogens tend to break down thepeniclliin
the term that best describes heavy occlusal forces that have caused injury to tissues and bone in a normal periodontium
primary traumatic occlusion
dental hygiene support for home care for perio patient includes
demonstrating the necessary techniques in the office
understanding individual pt. likes and dislikes relating to oral care
ongoing encouragement
when is healing greatest for nonsurgical perio therapy?
3-6 weeks
