Final - Treating decayed/broken/missing teeth Flashcards
gum recession may be caused by this or this
flexing of teeth during chewing, brushing too hard
reversal of dental caries
remineralization
caries that form in pit and fissures and are detected through visual and tactile inspection… clean, dry, good lighting, radiographs may not be helpful if lesion is small
class 1
caries that form on smooth proximal surfaces of posterior teeth
class 2
class 2 caries are caused by inadequate removal of blank
plaque
class 2 caries often require blank for detection
radiographs
caries that are smooth surface lesions on the proximal surfaces of anterior teeth and does not involve incisal edge
class 3
caries that are proximal surface of anterior tooth but also involves incisal edge/corner
class IV
causes of class 4 caries
progression of class 3, trauma
caries class that is in the cervical third of facial or lingual surface of any tooth in the mouth
class V
caries class that is a cavity or defect found on the cusp tips of the incisal edges
class VI
dental material chosen must be determined based on the blank and blank of the lesion/defect being restored
location, size
a blank restoration replaces a missing tooth structure prior to preparation for a crown…. blank are used with endodontically treated teeth
core/crown, post
artificial root is embedded into the bone then crown is put over top
implants
demineralization of tooth structure
