what trace mineral has very similar oral symtoms to B vitamins
iron
In adults, common side effects include weight loss, constipation, raised cholesterol levels and, in women, menstrual irregularities including amenorrhoea, also acidosis and hypoglycemia-these affects come from what type of diet
ketogenic diet
megadoses of what three water soluble vitamin derivatives is harmful
niacin, B6, vitamin c
what is the thing that most influences caries
fequency of consumption of sugars
which viatmins are
Generally used as coenzymes and energy production
water soluble vitamins
ketogenic low carb diets can put stress on what organ
kidney
an acute form of childhood protein-energy malnutrition characterized by edema, swollen stomach
Kwashiorkor
what vitamin catalyzes the synthesis of prothrombin (blood clotting)
vitamin K
what are the 4 possible mechanisms that fats provide oral health
oily lipid layer covering teeth, reduces food retention
fatty layer over plaque prevents fermentable sugars to be reduced to acid
high concentration of fatty acids interfere with bacteria
increase in dietary fat decreases intake of fermentable carbs
defincency in what vitamin leads to gout, scurvy (under 10 mg)
vitamin C
Vit a promotes health of the epithelial cells and oral structures true or false
true
deficiency in what acid result in anemia, mental confusion, glossitis, red swollen tongue

what is the substrate used by oral bacterias to produce acids that decalcify tooth decay
fermentable sugars
what is a sweetener that does not contribute to caries
aspartame
which type of fat is most helpful for the body
monounsaturated fats
appearance of calciotraumatic line in dentin is due to a lack of what vitamin
D
four function of proteins
growth, enzymes, hormones, antibodies
Inflammation , chelosis, and smooth shiny red swollen tongue are signs of
vitamin B deficiency
type of mineral that is uncommon and is needed in low amounts according to RDA (zinc, copper, magnesium)
trace minerals
lack of vitamin A can lead to
poor vision and keritinization of skin
breakdown of protein tissues to make glucose
gluconeogenisis
how are caries produced by Carbs (4 steps)
-fermentable sugars and starches broken down in mouth,
- metabolize into acid by oral bacteria,
- acids dissolve tooth enamel,
- and use sugars to make plaque
