Oral Cavity Path I Flashcards
failure
inability to maintain homestoasis at rest
symptomatic at rest
functional reserve status
not symptomatic at rest
physiologic screening
subject organ to stress
anatomic screening
direct measure of disease
cavity formation
bacteria of mouth break down sugar and form acid
-acid damages teeth
pulp chamber
nerve, pain receptor, capillaries, lymphatics
caries
cavity
fluoride
incorporates into enamel - makes stronger
dentin
below enamel
living tissue - generated by odontoblasts
cementum
hydroxyapatite and collagen at root of tooth
-avasacular
peridontal ligament
multipotent cells
-vascular to cementum
1st colonizers of oral cavity
strep mutans
actinomyces
neisseria
veillonella
2nd colonizers of oral cavity
prevotella intermedia
porphyromonas gingivalis
fusobacterium nucleatum
capnocytophaga sp.
late colonizers of oral cavity
actinomyces comitans
campylobacter
eikenella
treponema
actinobacillus
biofilm
covers teeth
- contains 1000 bacterial sp.
- forms plaque
tartar
caclium deposits in biofilm
forms after 10 days of biofilm
breath test
to determine stomach bacteria
-h. pylori can be present in plaque as well
peridontitis
inflammation of root of tooth
biofilm
malinly strep mutans and anaerobes - fusobacterium and actinobacteria
