Midterm Flashcards
If the pH falls below __ a dysbiotic microbiome categorized by and increase in the acidic biofilm species
5
Normal mouth pH = 7
Demineralization starts at pH 5.5
Presence of 1+ decayed (non-cavitated or cavitated lesions), missing (due to caries), or filled tooth surfaces in any primary tooth in child under age 6
Early childhood caries (ECC)
Describe severe early childhood caries (S-ECC)
<3 yr : any sign of smooth surface caries
3-5 yr: 1+ cavitated, missing or filled smooth surfaces in primary maxillary anterior teeth
decayed, missing or filled score of greater than or equal to:
4 (age 3), 5 (age 4), 6 (age 5)
establish dental home within __ months of first tooth or __
6
12 months of age
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary preventative measures for ECC
Primary: needs to begin before disease occurs, education, limited sugar intake, avoid nighttime bottles, avoid baby bottle/breastfeeding past 12 months, brushing x2 day, topical fluoride treatment, fluoridated water
Secondary: prevent progression of/remineralization of caries before cavitation stage, early detection, sealants, more frequent fluoride varnish
Tertiary: SDF, restoration
Crown structure of a pediatric patient
Onion shaped
converging towards the occlusal
In a pediatric tooth, Enamel rods in cervical area are directed to the
occlusal (change class II prep shape)
Is enamel and dentin thinner or thicker in a pediatric tooth
Thinner (1-1.5 max width to ADJ)
Contact on a pediatric tooth are
broad and flat
Color of a pediatric tooth
Lighter (B2-A1)
Root shape of a pediatric tooth
narrower and longer compared to their crown length (permanent teeth have shorter thicker roots)
Resorption begins when __ of root is formed
Tooth is shed when __ of root is formed
1/3
1/2
Furcations on primary teeth
Closer to the crown (more susceptible to damage)
Pulp structure of pediatric teeth
larger chambers
pulp horns closer to outer surface
mesial pulp horn is higher
__ teeth should be erupted before age 3
20
Primary molars are replaced by
permanent premolars
2nd primary molars resemble __ , maxillary 1st primary molars resemble __ , mandibular 1st molars resemble __
1st permanent molars
1st permanent premolars
none (milk man)
Teeth present at birth
natal teeth
Neonatal teeth
Teeth that erupt within 30 days of birth
when the developing tooth moves inside the alveolar bone but cannot yet be seen clinically
Pre Emergent eruption
(begins once the root formation has started)
Emergence: when a cusp or an incisal edge of a tooth first penetrates the gingiva. Occurs when __ is established.
75% of the final root length
This must exist to move the tooth
eruption force
When does eruption occur
Follows a circadian rhythm, occurs mainly during early hours of sleep or after meals
Post emerging eruption
continuous movement until it reaches occlusion (faster during this stage)
Eruption does not stop once the tooth is in occlusion- continues to equal the rate of the vertical growth of the face
On average a molar erupts about 10 mm after occlusion
Primary teeth eruption
Mandibular incisors
maxillary incisors
Maxillary lateral incisors
mandibular lateral incisors
Maxillary 1st molars
mandibular 1st molars
Maxillary canines
Mandibular canines
Mandibular 2nd molars
maxillary 2nd molars
Comp exam care pathway
Interview
Oral exam
Detection
Images
Occlusion
Susceptibility
What is used to asses pain
FLACC
Probing primary teeth should be done after __ as tolerated by the child
eruption of 1st permanent molars and incisors
What do the colors of plaque tablets mean
Pink = 24 hour plaque
Purple = 48 hour plaque
Blue = 1 week plaque (pH = 3)
Biofilm removal: teach the parent to __
when should cleaning first occur?
Lift the lip
Clean baby gums using damp washcloth day after home
1 yr soft toothbrush and fluoride smear
Caries risk assessment tool (CAT-AAPD) should be performed as soon as
first primary tooth erupts
