have slight to moderate recession of the interdental papillae

287
Q

type III embrasures

A

289
Q

waxed floss

A

resists tearing and shredding on faulty restorations or when moved through very tight contacts

290
Q

polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) floss

A

slides through contacts easily; does not fray; equally effective when compared with waxed floss; may enhance client adherence because of high preference ratings

291
Q

powered flossing

Design-powered interdental cleaning devices use a multi-tufted nylon tip, designed for a single use, that extrudes and rotates on interproxirnal surfaces

Technique-requires only one hand to operate; tip is aimed into the interproximal space

Suggested use-alternative to hand-held floss; studies have demonstrated safety and effectiveness in removal of interproximal plaque, reduction of gingival inflammation and bleeding on probing

292
Q

floss holders

A

plastic device onto which the floss is threaded and held, forming a span between the prongs
holder is positioned for insertion, then adapted and activated in much the same manner as hand-held floss; special care should be taken not to snap the floss through contacts
Indicated for use-when an individual lacks the dexterity to floss properly, and client preference

293
Q

position the floss in the threader with even lengths on each side; pass the threader through the embrasure, from the buccal to the lingual aspect, leaving sufficient length on the buccal aspect, floss in a normal manner, slide floss through space to remove

294
Q

interdental brushes

A

Soft nylon filaments are twisted onto a stainless steel wire to form either a tapered or nontapered small brush
Brushes can be attached to a special handle; or are attached small handles
Provide good access to root concavities, furcation areas, proximal surfaces where papillae do not fill interdental spaces, as in type II and type III embrasures and under orthodontic wires

295
Q

interdental brushes technnique

A

Choose a brush of appropriate size, insert interproximally, and use an in-and-out motion from the buccal to the lingual aspect and from the lingual to the buccal aspect
Brushes may be aimed into furcation areas in a similar manner
Filaments compress when moving through constricted areas and flare out to adapt to larger spaces

296
Q

interdental brush precautions

A

Avoid forcing through tight, tissue-filled areas to prevent trauma

Limitation: no subgingival plaque disruption

298
Q

knitting yarn

A

Used on proximal surfaces with type II embrasures, diastemas, and isolated teeth

300
Q

toothpicks

A

Used for proximal surfaces and concavities, furcation areas, type II embrasures, just under the gingival margin, and around fixed orthodontic bands
toothpicks can be used alone or inserted into special holders (periodontal aids); moisten the tip and adapt it to the surface to be cleaned; subgingivally (submarginally) use a 45-degree angle to the tooth; move it in and out several times for interproximal surfaces, and follow the tooth contour on facial or lingual surfaces
Ridged pointed tips can cause injury if forced into tight tissue areas; over time papillae will abrade if toothpicks are used improperly

301
Q

interdental wedge (stimudents)

A

Used for proximal surfaces or just under the gingival margin; triangular in cross sections; should be used interproximally only when there is adequate space for insertion (e.g., type II embrasures)

A

Bacterial plaque removal: trace gingival margin with tip aimed into sulcus
Contouring gingiva: place but do not force the tip into the interdental contour with the tip angled occlusally, press the side of the tip against the gingiva, and use a firm rotary motion to apply intermittent pressure

305
Q

rubber tip precaution

A

inserting the tip perpendicularly to the long axis of the tooth can result in flattened interdental papillae

306
Q

denture care

A

Remove and rinse dentures after eating. Place a towel on the counter or in the sink so that the dentures won’t break if you drop them.

Clean mouth after removing your dentures. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush on natural teeth and gauze or a soft toothbrush to clean tongue and palate.

Scrub dentures at least daily. Gently scrub dentures using a denture cleaner, mild soap or dishwashing liquid and a denture brush or soft toothbrush to remove food, biofilm and other deposits. Avoid stiff-bristled brushes, strong cleansers and harsh toothpaste, as these are too abrasive and can damage dentures. Toothpastes advertised as whitening pastes are especially abrasive and should be avoided with removable dentures.

Handle dentures carefully. Be sure not to bend or damage the plastic or the clasps when cleaning

Soak dentures overnight. Most types of dentures need to remain moist to keep their shape. Place the dentures in water or a mild denture-soaking solution overnight. Don’t soak dentures with metal attachments in solutions that contain chlorine because it can tarnish the metal.

Rinse dentures before putting them back in the mouth, especially if using a denture-soaking solution. These solutions can contain harmful chemicals that cause vomiting, pain or burns if swallowed.

Schedule regular dental checkups. The dentist can help ensure a proper fit to prevent slippage and discomfort. See the dentist promptly if dentures become loose. Loose dentures can cause irritation, sores and infection.
