what is the purpose of fluoride in polishing material?
caries reduction
what is the purpose of antimicrobials in polishing material?
plaque reduction, reduces inflammation
what is the purpose of anti-calculus ingredients in polishing material?
reduce level of calculus growth (but does not eliminate)
what is the purpose of whitening agents in polishing material?
removes stains
what is the purpose of desensitizing material in polishing material?
reduces root sensitivity (does NOT reduce tissue sensitivity)

________ is a defensive reaction to irritation (mechanical, bacterial) producing ______ of tissue
inflammation, degeneration
pathogenic agent that injures tissues, resulting in inflammation
infection
infection is usually accompanied by _______, but _____ may occur without ______
infection, inflammation, infection
what type of tissue is most vunerable?
non-keratinized tissue
what areas are non-keratinized tissues that are most at risk?
sulcular epithelium, junctional epithelium, col area
events in inflammation process
- injury
- invasion
- BV contract
- BV dilate
- WBC/plasma enter, edema
- chemical stimulus to attract WBC
- phagocytosis
- pus formation
how many steps in the inflammation response?
8
why do BV initially contract?
increase blood flow so immune defenders come to site
why do BV dilate after initial contraction?
leukocytes can move from center of BV to wall
leukocytes ingest foreign particles
phagocytosis
cells and plasma fluid that exits
exudate
