MIDTERM 1: cariology/products Flashcards
what is the pH of saliva, what minerals are in it
greater than 5.5, HCO3 (Ca2+., PO3-)
what is the critical dentin ph
6.2-6.8
what are the protective factors for caries ON TEST!
SAFER
saliva and sealants
Antibacterials
Fluoride,ca, po4
effective lifestyle habits
risk based reassessment
what are the risk factors for caries (ONTEST)
BAD
bad bacteria
absence of saliva
destructive lifestyle habits
what are disease indicators for caries (ONTEST)
WREC
white lesions
restorations less than 3 yrs
enamel lesions
cavities/dentin
what is the clinical presentation of ICDAS 1/ ICDAS 2?
earliest clinically detectible lesions. indicates mild demineralization. lesion limited to enamel or to shallow demineralization of cementum/dentin. mildest forms are only detectable AFTER DRYING!!!! when established and active, may be white or brown and enamel has lost its normal gloss. (icdas2)
-infected dentin is UNLIKELY.
whats the clinical presentation of ICDAS 3 and ICDAS 4
moderate
visible signs of enamel breakdown or signs dentin is moderately demineralized. established, early cavitated, shallow cavitation or microcavitation. dentin demineralization is pOssible!!
whats the clinical presentation of ICDAS 5 or 6
advanced
enamel is fully cavitated and dentin is exposed. dentin lesion is deeply/severely demineralized. spread/disseminated, late cavitated or deep cavitation.
-dentin demineralization for sure
when on icdas scale do you never do surgical intervention?
0,1, and 2
-chemical treatment only!
how do E1, E2 and D1 come up on radiograph
or ra1, ra2, ra3
-radiolucency may extend to dentinoenamel junction or outer one third of dentin.
how does d2 come up on radiograph
or rb4
radiolucency extends into middle one third of the dentin
how does d3 come up on radiograph
or rc5. radiolucency extends into the inner one third of the dentin
which radiographic groups require no surgical treatment
e0,e1,e2,d1
d1 SOMETIMES depends..
when (radiograph classification) is surgery required
d2 and d3
what are the 5 overall strategies /treatments for caries management (not surgical)
- pH neutralization (reduces growth/acid production of cariogenic bacteria- supports healthy bacteria)
- antibacterial
- fluoride (aids in remineralization, inhibits acid production of cariogenic bacteria)
- xylitol -reduces growth and acid production of cariogenic bacteria
- nano HA (Ca PO4) aids in remineralization w nano particles of hydroxyapatite
what does chlorhexidine rinse do
antibacterial but does not work against lactobacillus!!!! so more for periodontal disease!
(twice a day for 1 week per month. mau cause staining and increased calculus)
what does carifree treatment rinse do
ctx4 gel - antibacterial, pH neutralizer
what does carifree maintenance rinse do
ctx3, pH neutralizer and xerostemia
(daily to prevent dental caries infection from returning. rinse w 10 ml for 1 minute, usually twice a day. more frequently for xerostomia)
