Lec 1 Flashcards
localized chemical dissolution of tooth surface caused by acid produced from metabolic actions of cariogenic bacteria present in biofilm/plaque
dental caries
main culprits for caries
strep mutans, strep sobrinus
soft tenacious film that accumulates on tooth surface
biofilm
caries need these three things
microflora, host/teeth, substrate/diet
the three things that cause caries model is called blank even though it isnt comprehensive
keyes triad
visual tactile examination goes in this order
tooth number
poking too hard with the explorer into pits and fissures during examination can cause a blank in an otherwise remineralizable lesion
cavitation
Fiber optic transillumination can be used to show blank during examination
caries
to diagnose an interproximal caries a blank may be used to separate the teeth
orthodontic elastic
icdas code consists of 2 digits, first represents presence of blank and later indicates blank of caries extension
