Operative Flashcards
Carbonate substitution_________ solubility of
hydroxyapatite
increases- easier to decay.
Critical pH
* Enamel (FA)
* Enamel (CHA)
* Dentin and Cementum
- Enamel (FA)= 4.5
- Enamel (CHA)= 5.5
- Dentin and Cementum= 6.2-6.7
- Root-surface lesions progresses slowly or rapidly?
Rapidly because no enamel
Shapes of
* Pit and fissure lesions
* Smooth-surface lesions
- Pit and fissure lesions à inverted V-shape
- Smooth-surface lesions à V-shaped
- Infected dentin
- Affected dentin
- Infected dentin= superficial, wet, soft, mushy, necrotic
- Affected dentin= deeper, dry, leathery, demineralized but not invaded by bacteria
Requires _________ surface for remineralisation
intact
occurs at junction of tooth and restoration indicating microleakage
Secondary/Recurrent
caries that remain in a completed tooth prep
Residual caries
Bacteria
* Enamel caries
* Dentinal caries
* Root caries
- Streptococcus mutans -enamel caries
- Lactobacillus - dentinal caries
- Actinomyces- root caries
rapidly damages tooth structure, light-colored, soft, infectious
Acute or rampant caries
brown/black, hard, caries-resistant if exposed to fluoride (dentinal lesion has sclerotic dentin)
Arrested caries
Tooth needs ______% mineral loss to be detected radiographically
30-40%
In transillumination Shadows can indicate
interproximal caries
Marginal gap or ditching _________mm is judged carious or
caries-prone
> 0.5 mm
loss of tooth structure by mechanical wear
Abrasion
occlusal wear from functional contacts with
opposing natural teeth
Attrition
Treatment Plan Sequencing and functions
- Urgent phase= acute infection, pain, swelling
- Control phase= caries, oral hygiene
- Reevaluation phase
- Definitive phase= ortho, prosth, surgery
- Maintenance phase
Rx for incipient smooth-surface lesions
Remineralisation
Rx for pits and fissures
sealents
Functions

Sickle scaler
Curette
Sickle scaler= supragingival calculus
Curette= subgingival calculus
