Q

characteristics and examples of secondary treatment

A
  • directed toward initial stages of disease pathogenesis
  • intervene or prevent the progression and recurrence of disease
    ex: small lesions (MO, MA, O) resotrations
17
Q

characteristics and examples of tertiary treatment

A
  • directed toward end result of disease pathogenesis
  • provide rehabilitation
  • ex: Root canal therapy, implants, and bridges
18
Q

post-op recommendations

A
  • get under control
  • stabilize before reconstruction
  • recommend decrease of risk factors
  • replace fractures/overhangs
  • extract unsalvagable teeth
  • establish regular dental exam
19
Q

define occlusal amalgam

A

one-surface restoration

20
Q

define MOD amalgam

A

3 surface restoration

21
Q

example of a 2 surface amalgam

A

MO or DO

22
Q

define root surface amalgam

A

amalgam restoration on the cervical or root of tooth

23
Q

define gold onlay

A

prepared cast restoration that is cemented in place by frictional and mechanical factors that covers one or more cusp tips
-less tooth surface is removed when comparing inlays to full cast crowns

24
Q

define porcelin inlays

A

prepared cast restoration that is cemented in place by frictional and mechanical factors with in the occlusal surface

  • doesn’t cover cusp tips
  • less tooth surface is removed when comparing inlays to full cast crown
25
Q

define full porcelin crowns

A

prosthesis clinical crown attached to the natural root of the tooth
-anatomy replicated that of natural tooth surface

26
Q

define implant

A

attachment that is surgically inserted into or onto bone

-tooth replacement is then secured on to the attachment

27
Q

define fixed partial denture or bridge

A

permanently attached replacement that requires existence of natural teeth for support

28
Q

define removable partial

A

requires existence of some natural teeth in arch, and arch specific

29
Q

define complete removable denture

A

prosthetic replacement of all teeth, complete removable maxillary and mandibular denture

30
Q

define dental grill

A

fixed/removable attachment

known as a jewelry item
