polysaccharides
heavy calculus formers have higher salivary levels of ______ions and ______ ions
calcium
phosphorus
density of structures cementum mature calculus dentin bone enamel
1 enamel
2 mature calculus
3 dentin
4 bone and cementum
t/f:
calculus is not a predisposing factor in pocket formation
false
t/f:
subgingival calculus is always covered by masses of active plaque bacteria
true
t/f:
calculus can act as a reservoir for endotoxins and tissue breakdown products
true
t/f:
calculus is a predisposing factor in pocket formation
true
t/f
the chemical content of supra- and subgingival calculus is similar
true
t/f
the bone is the hardest substance in body
false
t/f
hard, calcified deposits on teeth is dental calculus
true
what type of plaque is most pathogenic
loose plaque
3 basic steps of calculus formation
pellicle formation
biofilm formation
mineralization
average time for calculus formation
12 days
ways for a manner calculus formation except
pyrophosphate
a tenacious membranous layer that is amorphous, acellular, and organic and that forms over exposed tooth surfaces
acquired pellicle
crystalline material component of bones and teeth that contains calcium and phosphate
apatite
plays a major role in the initiation and progression of both dental caries and periodontal diseases
microbial biofilm
a disease of the dental calcified structures that is characterized by demineralization of the mineral components and dissolution of the organic matrix
dental caries
dental calcified structures consist of
enamel, dentin, cementum, and bone
inhibitor of calcification that occurs in parotid saliva of humans in variable amounts diseases
parotid pyrophosphate
a disease of the dental calcified structures that is characterized by demineralization of the mineral components and dissolution of the organic matrix
dental caries
addition of mineral elements for the hardening of the tissue
mineralization
t/f
removal of unsightly stains improves patient’s appearance
true
t/f because of the early lesion are generally symptomless, they may go unnoticed and unreported
true
t/f
because of a client’s susceptibility to bacteremia that can be created during use of a rotating rubber cup polishing, the health history must be prepared initially and reviewed and updated each appointment
true
t/f
most depressed lesions are ulcers and represent a loss of continuity of the epithelium
true
t/f
an ulcer may result from the rupture of and elevated lesion (vesicle, pustule, bulla)
true
fissures, ulcers, or areas of induration in a white area are most indicative of malignancy
true
t/f:
dentinogenesis can occur in both primary and permanent dentition
true
t/f
when stains are tenacious excessive polishing should be avoided
true
t/f
removal of stains contributes to a client’s well-being and motivation to adhere to appropriate effective daily bacterial plaque removal for disease prevention
true
t/f
over a period of time it is possible for white spots from systemic hypoplasia to become stained
true
t/f
endogenous stains are always extrinsic and usually are discolorations of the dentin reflected through the enamel
false
lesions that are close to each other with margins that merge
coalescing
lesions limited to a small focal area
localized
one lesion of a particular type with a distinct margin
single lesion
discrete, not running together; may be arranged in clusters
separate
involves most of an area or segment
generalized
use of finger(s) and thumb of each hand applied simultaneously in coordination
bimanual
lesions of the oral mucosa that appear as bright red patches
erythroplakia
