A

Replacement of minerals in the tooth.

21
Q

What is demineralization?

A

Loss of minerals from the tooth.

22
Q

What are 3 main factors for the formation of Dental Caries?

A
  1. A susceptible tooth
  2. A diet rich in fermentable carbohydrates
  3. Specific Bacteria
23
Q

What is CAMBRA?

A

Caries Management by Risk Assessment; an evidence-based strategy for preventive and reparative care got early dental caries

24
Q

What is Bifurcation and Trifurcation?

A

Bifurcation is an area which two roots divide.
Trifurcation is an area in which three roots divide.

25
Q

What is the OSHA blood-borne pathogens standard?

A

Never eat, drink, smoke, apply cosmetics or lip balm or handle contact lenses in any area of the dental office where possible contamination is present, such as dental treatment rooms, dental laboratories, sterilization area, or x-ray processes areas. Never store food or drink in refrigerators that contain potentially contaminated items.

26
Q

What are some types of waste?

A

General waste, contaminated waste, hazardous waste, infectious or regulated waste (biohazard), blood and blood soaked materials, pathologic waste, sharps

27
Q

What are some routes of contamination for a dental office?

A

Direct transmission, indirect transmission, airborne transmission, droplet, parenteral, aerosol, spray, spatter, blood-borne, food/water, fecal-oral

28
Q

What is indirect vision?

A

Viewing an object with the use of a mirror

29
Q

What makes the anatomy of a tooth?

A

Crown, neck, root, enamel, dentin, cementoemamel junction, pulp cavity, cementum, periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, apex, apical foramen, root canal, nerves blood vessels

30
Q

What are the three main salivary glands and the ducts associated with each?

A

Parotid gland - Stensen’s duct
Submandibular gland - Whartons duct
Sublingual gland - Bartholins duct

31
Q

What is alveolar osteitis?

A

Pain and inflammation resulting from exposed bone associated with disturbance of a blood clot after extraction of a tooth.

32
Q

What is Reversable Pulpitis?

A

Occurs when the pulp is irritated and the patient is experiencing pain to thermal stimuli. With reversible pulpitis, eliminating the irritant and placing a sedative material may save the pulp.

33
Q

What is Irreversible Pulpitis?

A

Displays symptoms of lingering pain. Clinical diagnostic findings will show that the pulp is incapable of healing, indicating root canal therapy or extraction as the only treatment options.

34
Q

What are universal forceps used for?

A

extracting teeth from the alveolar bone.

35
Q

What are the structures of the Periodontium?

A

Gingiva, epithelial attachment, sulcus, periodontal ligament, cementum, alveolar bone

36
Q

What is the Papilla associated with taste?

A

Fungiform papillae are raised lingual structures which contain taste buds and thus play an important role in taste perception.

37
Q

What are the 5 landmarks of the Gingiva?

A

Attached Gingiva, free Gingiva, alveolar mucosa, mucogingival junction, vestibule or frenum

38
Q

What are the three important nerves in the mandible?

A

•Buccal nerve
•inferior alveolar nerve
•mental nerve at mental foramen

39
Q

What are the 5 important nerve in the maxillary?

A

•Posterior superior alveolar nerve
•Middle superior alveolar nerve
•infra orbital nerve
•anterior superior alveolar nerve
Nasopalatine branch of pterygopalatine nerve

41
Q

What is the Powder/water ratio for alginate impressions

A

1:1

Q

What are non-succedaneous teeth?

A

Teeth that do not replace baby teeth, permanent molars

45
Q

What happens to dental materials when exposed to thermal changes

A

Dental materials expand when exposed to hot temperatures and contract under cold temperatures, a process known as thermal expansion and contraction.

46
Q

What are some properties of Saliva?

A

lubrication, serving as an ion reservoir, cleansing action, digestion of carbohydrates, antimicrobial action, buffering capacity, pellicle formation and maintaining water balance

47
Q

What are the some different types of restorations?
