Lecture 3 Flashcards
three goals with restorative dentistry
Maintains tooth’s structure
Maintains tooth’s function
Diseases treated
endodontics =
root canal
deals with study and treatment of inside of tooth (pulp) and periapical tissues.
endodontics
where is periapical tissue located
around the tip (apex) of the tooth root
what does the tooth pulp consist of
nerves
blood vessels
lymphatics
connective tissue.
found in pulp chamber (crown) and root canal (root) of tooth,
pulp tissue
where does pulp tissue enter the tooth
through numerous small openings in apex of tooth root.
what age patients are root canals generally performed on
12 months or old
two reasons why root canals aren’t usually performed on young animals
have a larger pulp cavity than older animals
have an open root apex.
what is used to irrigate the tooth for a root canal
Sodium hypochlorite
common name of Sodium hypochlorite
bleach
what is the restorative filling material used in a root canal
Gutta Percha
why are metal crowns instead of porcelain crowns
due to their strength and need for less tooth removal.
exodontics =
extraction
Three indications to do an extraction
periodontal disease - grade 4
tooth fracture
Feline [Odontoclastic] Resorptive Lesions
Two contraindications (reasons not to) for extractions
Severe alveolar bone loss (Fractures)
Lack of client permission
Two ways do an extraction
closed
surgical
Common name for feline resorptive lesions
Neck lesions
etiology of feline resorptive lesions
unknown, vitamin D issues?
how common is feline resorptive lesions in cats
20% to 70% - not common in dogs
treatment for feline resorptive lesions depends on what kind of diagnostic test
xrays
treatment for feline resorptive lesions with no root resorption
extraction
treatment for feline resorptive lesions with root resorption
crown amputation
feline resorptive lesions
feline resorptive lesions
what kind of teeth are closed extractions used for
single rooted teeth
what nerve block is used for closed extraction technique
regional block
how long should you wait for the block to take effect in closed extractions
5 - 10 mins
what tool is used for disrupt the gingival attachment in closed extractions
Gingival elevator
what two tools are used to loosen the periodontal ligament fibers in a closed extraction
Winged elevator
Luxator
what tool is used to extract the tooth in closed extractions
extraction forceps
winged elevator
what kind of teeth are surgical extractions used on
multi rooted teeth
what kind of block is used for surgical extractions
regional block
what tool is used to remove the gingival attachment in surgical extractions
gingival elevator
in surgical extractions, you create a gingival flap with what two tools
scalpel
scissors
how do you expose the roots in surgical extractions
drill with Burr bit
how is the tooth sectioned for surgical extractions
drill with burr bit
how are roots removed in surgical extractions
each root removed as a single rooted tooth
After all extractions, flush the alveolus with what
sterile isotonic saline or chlorhexidine
after all extractions, what can be placed in a large defect prior to suturing
Osteoconductive material such as Consil
what should be done with the gingival flap after all extractions
suture closed - make sure it is not under tension
how many classes of malocclusions are there
four
what class of malocclusion is:
Normal maxilla and
mandible length
but teeth in abnormal
position
class 1
what is a class 1 malocclusion also known as
neutroclusion
