Introduction to Operative Dentistry Flashcards
Art and science of dentistry which deals with diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis of defects of the teeth that do not require full coverage restorations for correction.
Operative Dentistry
What are the 6 indications of operative dentistry?
A. Dental caries
B. Loss of tooth structure due to attrition, abrasion, abfraction, and erosion
C. Malformed, traumatized or fractured teeth
D. Fractures
E. Esthetic improvement
F. Replacement or repair of restoration
This is an infectious microbiological disease of the teeth which results in localized dissolution and destruction of the calcified tissue, caused by the action of microorganisms and fermentable carbohydrates
Dental caries
“Gangrene-like” disease
Dental caries
Mechanical wear of the incisal or occlusal surface as a result of functional or parafunctional movements of the mandible
Attrition
Tooth-to-tooth contacts
Attrition
Abnormal tooth surface loss resulting from direct friction forces between the teeth and external objects, or from frictional forces between contacting teeth components in the presence of an abrasive medium
Abrasion
Wear or loss of tooth surface chemicomechanical action
Erosion
Cervical, wedge-shaped defects caused by strong eccentric occlusal force resulting in microfractures or abfractures
Abfraction
Incomplete fracture not directly involving a vital pulp is often termed
Greenstick Fracture
Usually, pain is not associated with this type of fracture
Complete fracture
This condition always results in pulpal infection and severe pain
Fracture involving vital pulp
Occurs when the ameloblasts are injured during enamel formation, resulting in defective enamel
Nonhereditary Enamel Hypoplasia
Usually seen on anterior teeth and first molars in the form of opaque white or light brown areas with smooth intact, hard surface or pitted or grooved enamel which is usually hard and discolored and caused by fluorosis or high fever
Nonhereditary Enamel Hypoplasia
Enamel is defective either in form or calcification as a result of hereditary and has an appearance ranging from essentially normal to extremely unsightly
Amelogenesis Imperfecta
A hereditary condition in which only the dentin is defective. Normal enamel is weakly attached and lost early
Dentinogenesis Imperfecta
Royal mineral succedaneum

Contributed to the early development of operative dentistry
George Hollenback
More of a researcher on the physical properties of gold foil and the shrinkage of gold during the casting process
George Hollenback
During this year, periodic examination, bite wing radiograph and prophylactic procedure became the most common procedure
