NEW MD OPERATIVE Flashcards
what is the main component of enamel and dentin?
CHA ( carbonate substituted hydroxyapetite)
cha makes more soluble
what is critical PH of teeth?
5.5
what ph is demineralization?
below 5.5
after applying fluoride, what is the critical pH of teeth?
4.5
how long does dimenralization remineralization take?
10 minute dimeneralization
30 minutes
which ion causes dimeneralization
H+
what does MI paste due to remineralize tooth?
releases
Ca+
PO4-
3 components of how flupride works?
remineralization of tooth structure
dec. enamal solubility
interfere with caries metabolic activity
what are the pH of
Dentin and Cementum
Enamel
Enamel FA
D and C: 6.2-6.7 ( most susceptible)
enamel: 5.5
FA: 4.5
what is keyes-Jordan diagram
results of cariogenic oral flora (biofilm) with ( carbs) sugar on tooth surface overtime (host)
what is the shape of decay on smooth surface lesions?
V-shape
shape of decay on puits and fissures ??
inverted V shape
what is affected dentin?
deep, dry, leathery, demineralized decay
what is infected dentin
superficial, wet, soft, necrotic decay
dry, leathery dentin known as what?
affected dentin
T or F decay is irreversible
true
how long does it take for enamel cavitation
1-2 years
what are the steps of lesion progression to cavitation?
enamel demineralization -> dentin demineralization -> enamel cavitation (1-2 years) - > dentin cavitation
cavitation steps irreversible !!!
upon evaluation of tooth we see smooth surface is opaque white when air dried and disappear when wet
incipent !!!! reversible
what is a complex restoration?
3 surfaces MOD
what is a simple resotration
1 surface (O)
what is a compound restoration
2 surfaces MO
what is residual caries?
caries remain after tooth is prepped
what is secondary caries?
occur at junction of tooth and restoration (microleakage)
