Test 1 Flashcards
5 factors that impact probing depth
- inflammation
- probe diameter
- Tapered vs parallel
- Hand force
- Band width
Furcation probe measures what type of bone loss?
Horizontal
What is the average width of the PDL in an adult?
0.17mm
Amount of movement seen in class I mobility?
0.2 - 1 mm
Amount of movement seen in class II mobility?
greater than 1 mm
Amount of movement seen in class III mobility?
greater than 1 mm plus axial displacement
How do you calculate CAL?
PD + (distance between GM -> CEJ)
GM = 2 mm coronal to CEJ PD = 5 CAL = ?
CAL = 3mm
GM = 4 mm apical to CEJ PD = 2 CAL = ?
CAL = 6mm
What is the biological width made up of?
Junctional epithelium + CT attachment = 2mm
Bottom of sulcus to crest of alveolar bone
What 3 things might happen if violation of the biological width occurs?
- Inflammation
- Increased probing depth
- Inconsistent resorption of alveolar bone
Steroids act on what in the inflammation cascade?
Phospholipases -> Arachidonic acid
NSAIDS/Asprin inhibit what in the inflammation cascade?
Cycooxgenase
Singulair inhibits what in the inflammation cascade?
5-Lipoxygenase
Cytoplasmic granules of basophils/mast cells contain what 5 things?
- Histamine
- Platelet activating factor
- Heparin
- TNF alpha
- SRS-As (Leukotriene C4, D4, E4)
