25
what food source has high natural levels of fluoride in it?
Gelatin, salmon
26

must work way down in order to a fine abrasive. Using a different polishing cup for each and rinsing between
28
why are courser abrasives used to remove hard stains?
reduces the chance of frictional heat trauma to the tooth. Instead of going over and over a stain, a more abrasive paste can take it off in one go
29
what dictates the abrasive used?
type of staining, - extent of staining
30
what causes gingival trauma during a coronal polish?
contact of the polishing cup with gingival tissues when trying to splay the cup. The speed of rotation causes trauma to the tissues. Extent of trauma depends on how much contact occurred

38
what is periodontitis
the inflammation of supporting tissues of the teeth (involves bone/tissues/ligaments)
39
how does the progression of periodontitis occur
it begins in the gingival tissue, then the connective tissues (periodontal ligaments) then into the alveolar bone
40
what is damaged more and more as periodontitis progresses?
the connective tissue attachment (epithelial attachment) at the bottom of the pocket is destroyed. This exposes more root surfaces and deepens the sulcus
41
what is gingivitis? is it irreversible
it is inflammation of the gingival tissues due to over abundance of bacteria. Causes redness, swelling and bleeding of gum tissue. Is reversible with improved oral hygiene practices
42

49
Periodontal treatment beings with what?
scaling and root planing to remove calculus, gingival curettage to remove any necrotic tissues from the sulcus
50
What is the purpose of scaling/root planing and gingival curettage in relation to periodontal disease?
it removes any rough surfaces and excess bacteria. A smooth surface free of trapped bacteria promotes healing and prevents further progression
51

What is the col and where is it located?
Col is a non keratinized depression located between both interdental papillae. Since its not keratinized its a fragile tissue susceptible to damage
