Q

an occlusion that is free of disease and dysfunction and has adapted to some physiologic changes

A

physiologic occlusion

23
Q

the mandible in the end point of the terminal hinge closure; also called centric relation position

A

retruded contact position

24
Q

involuntary contraction of a muscle or muscles, usually painful and intering with function

A

spasm

25
Q

spasm in the masticatory muscles associated with a disturbance in the trigeminal nerve

A

trismus

26
Q

made when heavy occlusal foces exceed the adaptive range in a normal periodontium, causing injury to tissues and bone

A

primary traumatic occlusion

27
Q

made when normal occlusal forces exceed the capability of a periodontium that is already affected by periodontal disease

A

secondary traumatic occlusion

28
Q

an area on a tooth that may prevent well-distributed stable contact between the maxillary and mandibular teeth

A

supracontact

29
Q

why is it essential to incorporate individualized plaque biofilm control education into periodontal therapy?

A

because dental biofilm is the causative agent of gingival and periodontal diseases

30
Q

a naturally occuring complex microbial ecosystem that adheres to teeth and oral structures and causes inflammation if left undisturbed

A

bacterial plaque biofilm

31
Q

to initiate and continue a lifelong process of improved daily plaque biofilm removal

A

patient motivation

32
Q

proposed the optimum characteristics of toothbrushes

A

Dr. Charles C Bass

33
Q

this tooth brushing method is widely taught because it provides mechanical plaque biofilm removal at the gingival margin and minimizes gingival trauma

A

bass technique

34
Q

facilitate the mechanical cleaning of proximal root surfaces and provide improved access into developmental grooves and furcations

A

interdental brushes

35
Q

interdental stimulation “gingival massage”; it was popular for plaque control until the 1970s

A

rubber tip stimulators

36
Q

forcing water between the teeth with a single jet or multiple jets ofpulsed beads of water

A

supragingival irrigation

37
Q

a special soft rubber tip that permits the irrigant to be directed under the gingiva

A

subgingival irrigation

38
Q

ability to adhere to structures in the oral environmental and be released slowly over time, enhancing the duration of effectiveness

A

substantivity

39
Q

agents that inhibit the formation of new supragingival calculus

A

anticalculus agents

40
Q

powered scaling device

A

ultrasonic instrumentation

41
Q

scaling and root planning

A

periodontal debridement

42
Q

a preventative procedure to remove local gingival irritants and includes complete calculus removal followed by root planning

A

prophylaxis

43
Q

proposed by Loesche in 1970s; has increased understanding of periodontal disease and the use of appropriate antimicrobial agents to improve treatment

A

specific plaque hypothesis

44
Q

root sensitivity; extreme or unexpectedly elevated response to stimuli

A

dental hypersensitivity

45
Q

generally accepted explanation for root sensitivity; forces stimulate pain responses through open tubules that are filled with fluid

A

hydrodynamic theory of dental sensitivity

46
Q

eyeglass mounted telescopes

A

loupes

47
Q

allows subgingival visualization and illumination to the working field at magnifications in the range or 24 to 48 times

A

endoscope

48
Q

the term used to refer to a lavage, or flushong, of pockets during or after periodontal debridement procedures

A

irrigation

49
Q

This method is the simplest brushing technique , consisting of placing the bristles on the teeth and moving them back and forth

Does not focus cleaning at the gingival margin, and people who vigorously brush this way believe they have done a thorough job, even if the many areas of plaque biofilm have been missed

A

scrub method

50
Q

This technique involves brushing the teeth the way they grow, down on the upper teeth and up on the lower teeth

A

roll toothbrushing method

51
Q

This toothbrush method requires placement of the brush at a 45 degree angle to the tooth surface, with the bristle ends pointing away from the gingiva but toward the interproximal surfaces of the teeth

recommended the use of metal or wooden toothpicks for interproximal stimulation

A

charters toothbrushing method

52
Q

This toothbrush method requires to fill the gingival blood vessels with oxygenated blood

Requires placement of the bristles pointing apically, but not at right angles to the gingiva, to minimize puncture

A

stillman toothbrushing method

53
Q

This toothbrushing method is known to be easier to use particularly if they have dexterity problems

Causes hydrodynamic shearing forces of water that increase penetration of plaque removal onto the proximal surfaces

Designed specifically for access to proximal areas have shaped tips and can readily be applied to both the interproximal surfaces, when there is sufficient space, and the gingival margin
