: Most Cariogenic?
Sucrose ; S. Mutans adheres to (non shedding surface) bioflim on tooth by converting sucrose into an extremely adhesive substance called dextran polysaccharid.

Chronic periradicular abscess indicates:
necrotic pulp
calcium hydroxide is contraindicated in pulpotomy in a child because it causes
irritation leading to resorption in primary teeth

Did pulpotomy in a 7 yr old’s pulp exposed decayed tooth #30 why?
To allow completion of root formation (apexogenesis)
______: Create an apical barrier in a necrotic tooth with an open apex.
Apexification
Induce a calcified apical barrier by placing dense calcium hydroxide paste after the instrumentation. Canals are obturated when barrier is formed in 3–6 months.
____ : Vital pulp therapy performed to allow continued physiologic development and formation of the root.
Apexogenesis
Place calcium hydroxide over the radicular pulp stump. Recall every 3 months to check for pulpal status. RCT is indicated when the root development is completed.
apexification is done :
(non vital teeth with MTA),
pulpectomy is done:
pulpectomy (ZOE if apex is not closed in primary teeth) in pedo patients.
Bisposy of PARL s/p RCT shows: neutrophils, plasma cells, nonkeratanized stratified epithelieum (islands of), and fibrous connective tissue, likely dx?
granuloma
Extraradicular biofilm theory recommends endo with:
irrigate and debride
mechanochemical irrigation and debridement of the canal
Pt is 13 years old and has a non-vital maxillary central. The apex is still open what do you
Apexification
Avulsion of tooth with open apex ; EDT <60min tx? (or kept in soln)
Clean tooth w/saline
Irrigate socket w/saline
Gently replant
Stablize with FLEX splint 1 wk ( or min mobility)
Follow up apt for pulp vitality/root development
If vitality doesnt not return -> Apexififcation
Avulsion – 7-10 days non rigid splint, antibiotics
Avulsion of tooth with closed apex ; EDT <60min tx?
or kept in soln
Clean tooth w/saline Irrigate socket w/saline Gently replant Stabilize with FLEX splint 1 wk ( or min mobility) RCT at time of splint removal
Avulsion – 7-10 days non rigid splint, antibiotics
Which material is least cytotoxic for perforation repair?
MTA
: If tooth has open apex, and it gets avulsed, how you close it?
You use MTA.
Most important factor about avulsed tooth –
Time
Avulsion of tooth with closed apex ; EDT 60+ min tx?
Dont reimplant
Reason for failure of replantation of avulsed tooth:
external resorption
Indications for apico surgery:
When an apical portion of canal cannot be cleaned, persistent apical pathology after RCT, apical fracture, overextension.
contraindication for CaOH: Pulp symptomatic for last month..
Pulp symptomatic for last month..
Tx for Traumatic pulp exposure on max incisor that root has not completed formation?
Apexogenesis
: Sodium hypochlorite is used for everything except?
Chelation ( 17% EDTA is the chelator- removes smear/inorganic amterail)
NaOCl ( 5.25% bleach irrigation germicidal- dissolves organic tissue)
Tx for horizontal root fx
Rigid splint for horizontal root fractures 3 months
Patient intrudes mature maxillary incisor- tx?
Trauma causing deep intrusion to a permanent tooth causes PULP NECROSIS and conventional RCT is necessary. 96%
Avulsion of tooth with open apex ; EDT 60+ min tx?
Dont reimplant
:Biggest reason for failure of RCT –
faulty cleaning of the canals
How you manage tooth with external root resorption
b. Instrument and put CaOH
do CaOH every 3 months until PDL is healthy then complete RCT
QUESTION: Most common cell in necrotic pulp?
PMN cells
Ankylosis (aka: –
replacement bone formation ; replacement resorption
: Inflammatory external root resorption? What do you do?
ENDO- RCT
Internal resorption ass w/ all except –
- radiography is symmetrical with the pulp space,
- can resorb all the way to the PDL,
- treatment option is observe until resorption stops, -resorb to create pink tooth
observe until resorption stops,
root canal failed on upper canine -
lack of seal
bad shaping/cleaning
Most common cause of RCT failure is
2nd most common cause is
inadequate disinfected RC,
poorly filled canals.
3rd lack of straight-line access
Incomplete removal of bacteria, pulp debris, and dentinal shavings is commonly caused by failure to irrigate thoroughly. Another reason is failure to
C. obtain a straight line access.
T/F. GP adheres to canal walls
False. needs sealer
QUESTION: First thing do with periapical abscess? `
Incise and drain, IF fluctuant
Which of the following conditions indicates that a periodontal, rather than an endo
Pain to lateral percussion with a wide sulcular pocket
T/F: There usually is no lesion apparent radiographically in acute apical periodontitis. However,
T/F. histologically bone destruction has been noted.
TRUE
TRUE
Mandibular second molars, followed by mandibular first molars and maxillary premolars are the most commonly affected teeth of
cracked tooth (vertical)
How to dx a horizon rt fx?
multpile vertical agulated xrays
Horizontal Root Fracture more common in ,
anteriors
the success and healing of horizontal root fractures is the immediate reduction of the fractured segments and the immobilization of the coronal segment (12 weeks)
Horizontal root fx tx?
splint/ reduce & immobilize
RDT IS
2MM
REMAINIG DENTINAL THICKNESS
Most critical for pulpal protection
ANS. Remaining dentin thickness (2mm)
What will not regenerate after RCT: dentin formation, cementum, PDL, alveolar bone
DENTIN
sym apical period vs.
acute apical abscess
diff is you will feel a bump has fluid (abcess)
What can tell best indicator about caries risk:
past caries history
least likely to predict future caries = Amount of sugar intake
T/F. Formation of of reparative dentin can occur as a result of successful rct
FALSE
Histogram is used to show
varience
Idiopathic sclerosis
Idiopathic osteosclerosis, also known as enostosis or dense bone island, is a condition which may be found around the roots of a tooth. It is usually painless and found during routine radiographs. It appears as a radiopaque (light area) around a tooth, usually a premolar or molar.
