Midterm- not good Flashcards
Normal Healing:
reversible pulpitis
Return to normal condition
reversible pulpitis
Test not routinely done:
EPT
T/F: untreated pulpal infections can become life-threatening:
true
First thing you do when thermal testing?
establish baseline
Current x-rays:
2-6 months
Chronic infections favor:
anaerobic flora
Baseline and with how many teeth?
2-3
T/F: Start testing with percussion on suspected tooth:
False
Cold test with endo ice on Q-tip:
False
Prioprioceptors:
PA
T/F: Chronic infections with DST rarely become emergent:
true
LEO stands for:
lesion of endodontic origin
Most commonly mistake for LEO:
PCOD or mental foramen
Which one lingers?
Irreversible pulpitis
Which one would lead to PA lesion, select all that apply:
Asymptomatic and symptomatic irreversible and necrotic
Bender and Seltzer’s. It can take weeks for radiolucency to show up. All medullary bone can be destroyed, need 40% of cortical bone gone before it will show up on an x-ray:
Both statements true
T/F: Sunquist figured out bacteria were anaerobic gram negative in an infection:
true
T/F: Without bugs there would be no caries: Kakehashi
true
First thing you do with a new patient:
take medical history
If you have a tooth with no restoration but pain what should you do?
Quiz patient about recent/history of trauma an Duse a tooth smooth/transilluminator
For most endodontic diagnosis, what do you have to do?
clinical examination and clinical testing
For endo diagnosis, you need pulpal and PA
True
SLOB: Shift cone mesial and the ____ is most mesial
DL
Purpose of BW x-ray:
restorability
Objective of diagnosis or something:
FInd etiology of CC and confirm its of endodontic origin
Branstromms hydronamic theory:
theory of pain
Incorrect statement:
necrotic spread to the adjacent teeth - periapical
T/F: If a patient can point to a specific tooth you can assume that there may be periapical inflammation:
true
T/F: Endo and implants have the same criteria:
false
T/F: Patient CC Neds to be in their own words:
true
T/F: If patient has other issues after doing history and exam:
refer
T/F: Endodontists recommend leaving tooth open:
False
T/F: Systemic antibiotics to prevent swelling and fever
false
Most prevalent cell type of pulp:
fibroblast
Primary function of pulp:
formative
Number one cause:
microbiological
Reparative dentin:
tertiary
Responsible for aging of pulp:
secondary
Most common portal of entry:
leaky caries/restoration
T/F: Better to do a percussion test on SIP before taking radiograph:
True
Acute:
A-fibers
Mistaken for LEO:
aberrant, normal anatomic landmark, oral manifestation of systemic disease
T/F: You have to confirm your diagnosis before you begin treatment plan:
true
T/F: start percussion test on suspected tooth:
false
T/F: If no other damage to tooth, suspect crack and do tooth smooth and transillumination:
true
Good x-rays:
5mm apical, no cone cuts, correct angulation
Most common cause:
bacteria
T/F: You do endodontic treatment without the benefit of identify the particular microorganism:
true
DS, minimal swelling=
chronic apical abscess
