JVD Foundations Flashcards
Name the following rabbit oral exam instrument:
2011, issue 1
Cheek pouch dilator
How many dentin tubules/mm2 are present in the dog’s crown?
2011, issue 2
50,000 tubules/mm2 in coronal dentin of dogs (twice as many as in humans)
Neimec says it takes how long for tertiary dentin to begin to form?
2011, issue 2
8 weeks
Double check if he’s right though….
The concave arrows represent what imaging finding/diagnosis?
JVD 2011, Issue 3 “Essential Considerations for Equine Oral Exam, Diagnosis and Treatmemt” Menzies, Lewis, Reiter, Lundstrom
Hypercementosis
What is the mechanism of action of bisphosphonates?
JVD 2011, issue 4
It is believed that BP may induce apoptosis in osteoclasts and/or potent injectable formulations may directly kill osteocytes. BP may alter production of RANKL and OPG leading to a decrease in osteo-clastic bone resorption
What is the name of the periodontal probe that has color coded markings every 3mm?
JVD 2012, Issue 2. Foundations
Marquis periodontal probe
What does a universal hand instrument mean?
JVD 2012, Issue 2. Foundations
Universal hand instruments can be used anywhere in the mouth
What angle do universal hand curettes have to the terminal shank?
JVD 2012, Issue 2. Foundations
90 degrees
What are the most common types of universal curettes?
JVD 2012, Issue 2. Foundations
Colombia and Barnhart
What angle are Gracey curette blades to the terminal shank?
JVD 2012, Issue 2. Foundations
60-70 degrees
Shaft parallelism (aka the blade is in the proper position for calculus removal when the terminal shank (as opposed to the handle) is parallel to the tooth) and 1 cutting blade
In “Dental Considerations in Cows and Goats” what is the permanent dental formala for these species?
JVD 2012, issue 3
2 (incisors 0/4, premolars 3/3, molars 3/3) = 32
What is the physiologic mobility of sheep incisors?
JVD 2012, issue 3
2mm, due to shallow boney sockets
Sheep have distinctly “loosely” fitting incisor teeth de-signed to rotate as they graze
What classification of dental impression material does PVS fall under?
JVD 2013, issue 2
Elastic/Elastomeric
What is the permanent dentition dental formula of cattle, sheep and goats?
JVD 2012, Issue 3. Dental Considerations in Cows and Goats. Eubanks
2(Incisors 0/4, premolars 3/3, molars 3/3) = 32
What are the definitions of study models, casts and dies in respect to dental impressions?
JVD 2013, Issue 2. Dental Impression Materials, Perry.
Study model - reproduction used to evaluate disease and plan treatment (orthodontics)
Casts - used as a working model to manufacture orthodontic applicances or fabricate crowns
Die - accurate replica of single tooth used to make crowns
Which impression material has the highest accuracy and dimensional stability?
JVD 2013, Issue 2. Dental Impression Materials, Perry.
VPS
Which type of impression material is the most flexible?
JVD 2013, Issue 2. Dental Impression Materials, Perry.
Alginates
In the figure below, does A or B represent good wetting ability?
JVD 2013, Issue 2. Dental Impression Materials, Perry.
A: the contact angle is lower than 90 degrees = good wetting ability
Polysulfides provide surface detail in how many micrometers for impressions?
JVD 2013, Issue 2. Dental Impression Materials, Perry.
25 micrometers
What contact angle is considered hydrophobic?
JVD 2013, Issue 2. Dental Impression Materials, Perry.
> 90 degrees
What is the working and setting time of PVS?
JVD 2013, Issue 2. Dental Impression Materials, Perry.
working time 2 minutes
setting time 6 minutes
What is the relationship VPS viscosity, surface detail reproduction and polymerization shrinkage?
JVD 2013, Issue 2. Dental Impression Materials, Perry.
The lower the VPS viscosity the higher the surface detail reproduction but the greater the polymerization shrinkage
Want to use as little low viscosity material as possible
How many shades of grey can CT distinguish?
JVD 2013, Issue 3. Advanced Imaging of the Temporomandibular Joint and Other Oral Structures, Eubanks
32-60
human eye capable of differentiating 20-30 shades of grey
