FORL is the acronym for what?
feline ondoclastic resorptive lesion
What is FORL?
These tooth defects have also been called cavities, neck lesions, external or internal root resorptions, and cervical line erosions.
What is stomatitis
Inflammation of the oral cavity and its tissues (cobble stone appearance)
What are the 4 main types of hand held dental instruments
Probe, explorer, curette, and scaler.
What are the four main parts of hand held instruments?
Handle, shank, terminal end, working end
What are explorers used for?
Used to feel surface of teeth, look for holes, grooves, irregular surfaces. It is used to enhance your tactile sense of each tooth.
Where is the explorer used on a tooth?
supragingival
What are Probes used for?
Used to probe below gums in search or pockets and gum depth.
What are scalers used for?
Used to scrape calculi from teeth, formed to fit around the tooth and between teeth.
Where would a scaler not be used?
sub gingival use
What are the three parts of a scaler?
Tip, face, and cutting edge
What are the three types of scalers?
Sickle (most common), Morris, and U15
What is a curette used for?
Used to remove calculus both sub and supragingivally.
What is plague?
Composed of bacteria food debris, exfoliated cells, and salivary glycoproteins.
What is dentin?
Hard, dense, bony tissue forming the bulk of a tooth beneath the enamel.
What is attrition?
Wearing on the tooth resulting from tooth to tooth friction.
What is abrasion?
tooth wear from object other than attrition
What is CUGS
Chronic Ulcerative Gingivostomatitis
Individual inappropriate immunologic response.
Various antigenic triggers.
There are four stages
What is stomatitis
Inflammation of the mucous lining of any structure in the mouth.
Usually has a cobblestone appearance.
Parallel Radiograph technique
Film is placed parallel to the object being radiographed and perpendicular to the beam.
Bisecting Angle technique
Used when the film cannot be placed parallel to the long axis of the tooth due to anatomical interference.
