detecting caries allow detection without ionizing radiation and are now used for detection of interproximal decay

Answer 6

Laser Fluorescence

Question 7

decay between the teeth

Answer 7

interproximal decay

Question 8

when bacteria penetrates to the enamel to reach the dentin but then the outer surface remineralizes

Answer 8

hidden caries

Question 9

the differential diagnosis for dental caries includes

Answer 9

developmental defects of the tooth involves

Answer 10

hypomineralization and hypoplasia

Question 11

Caries can be classified by

location, etiology, rate of progression, and affected hard tissues.

Question 12

rate of progression when its a quickly developing condition

Answer 12

acute

Question 13

rate ofmprogressiosn when its a condition that has taken an extended time to develop

Answer 13

chronic

Question 14

decay at a location that has not experienced previous decay

Answer 14

incipient caries

Question 15

a demineralized lesion without evidence of cavitation.

Answer 15

non-cavitated caries lesion

Question 16

lesions that have progressed to a more advanced stage

Answer 16

cavitated carious lesion

Question 17

by this point, demineralization has usually progressed into the dentin

Answer 17

cavitated carious lesion

Question 18

a lesion on a tooth that was previously demineralized but was remineralized before causing a cavitation

Answer 18

arrested caries

can help recalcification of tooth enamel as well as the use of amorphous calcium phosphate.

Answer 19

fluoride treatment
