Q

What cells are found in FISH zone of stimulation?

A

Fibroblasts and Osteoblasts
Collagen is secreted by these cells and they are stimulated as toxins are mild enough in this area but not too strong to cause destruction

Q

When does condensing osteitis arise?

Aka periapical osteosclerosis

Occurs when long standing mild chronic irritation

Q

What is the pathophysiology behind condensing osteitis?

A

Eg if the coronal pulp is necrotic and radicular pulp is vital this can dampen the noxious effect so immune system responds by laying down bone rather than resorbing

Q

What is special about e faecalis?

A

A

An instrument that protrudes into the chamber

27
Q

A

A fracture file within the straight part of canal

28
Q

A

Braiding technique

29

30
Q

What is special about E feacalis

A
  1. Live and persist in poor nutrient environment-Survive in extreme environments with low pH, high salinity and high temperatures

Endure prolonged periods of starvation and utilize tissue fluid that flows from the periodontal ligament

  1. Survive in the presence of several medications (e.g., calcium hydroxide) and irrigants (e.g., sodium hypochlorite)
  2. Form biofilms in medicated canals
    Invade and metabolize fluids within the dentinal tubules and adhere to collagen
  3. Acquire antibiotic resistance
