Q

what is the use for a size 3 bitewing film? is it ideal or not and why?

A

not ideal → harder to get open contacts due to the curve in the jaw, cannot angulate for both molars AND premolars

A

lymphatic and immune

25
List the 3 stages of prenatal development & the time frames in which they occur
1) pre-implantation (wk 1) 2) embryonic period (wk 2-8) 3) fetal period (wk 9-term)
26
what is the range of film speed? which is the fastest?
Speed ranges from A (slowest) to F (fastest)
27
which two types of force work together to keep electrons in orbit around the nucleus?
electrostatic force and centrifugal force
28
What is the integumentary system? what is its role?
- consists of skin, mucous membranes, hair & nails | - barrier to pathogens & helps regulate body temperature
29
what are the 4 types of body tissues?
epithelial, connective, muscle, nervous
30
define penumbra
movement causing a blurred image
31
define electromagnetic radiation
a form of energy (photons --> small particles/packets of light) which exhibits wavelike behavior as it travels through space
32
what occurs during the embryonic period?
cells proliferate (↑ #s), differentiate (specialize), and integrate (form body structures/systems)
33
Faster film: ________ sharp image, ________ crystal sizes
FAST film ---> LESS sharp image, LARGE crystal sizes
34
electromagnetic radiation can be natural or man-made. give an example of each
Natural: cosmic or gamma rays Man-made: x-rays
35
what are the 3 layers of bone?
periosteum, compact/cortical, spongey/cancellous
36
Slower film: ________ sharp image, ________ crystal size
SLOW film ---> MORE sharp image, SMALL crystal size
37
define ionization
the formation of an ion --> occurs when an atom's charge is altered (becomes more positive or more negative)
38
how many bones does the average adult have?
206
39
What are the optimum temperature & relative humidity?
Optimum temperature: 20°C | Optimum relative humidity: 30-50%
40
what are the two categories of bones and how many are in each?
axial (80) and appendicular (126)
41
What are the 3 key stages of tooth formation?
bud (initiation) ⇒ cap (proliferation)⇒ bell (histodifferentiation/morphodifferentiation)
42
Radiolucent
soft structures/airspace, show as dark/black on rads
43
what is a positively charged ion called? what about a negatively charged ion?
``` positive = CATION negative = ANION ```
44
what are cells?
basic building blocks of life, simplest unit
45
Which 2 embryonic layers are associated with forming portions of the teeth, and what does each one form?
- ectoderm: forms enamel | - mesoderm: forms dentin, pulp, and cementum
46
what are tissues?
made up of millions of cells, perform a specialized function for the body
47
Radiopaque
dense structures, show as white on rads
48
what are the 3 properties of a wave?
1) Velocity: The speed of the wave 2) Wavelength: The distance between the crest of one wave and the crest of the next 3) Frequency: The number of wavelengths that pass a certain point in a given length of time
49
What is the difference between Osteoblasts and Osteoclasts?
``` osteoBlasts = BUILD bone structure osteoClasts = CLASH, respiration of existing bone ```
50
3 necessities for a DIAGNOSTIC radiograph?
- proper density and contrast - sharp outlines - same shape and size as the object radiographed
51
what are organs?
two+ kinds of tissue together performing special body functions
52
What is formed by odontoblasts?
dentin
53
which 4 factors influence density?
- kilovoltage - milliamperage - exposure time - subject thickness
54
define x-radiation
high-energy, ionizing electromagnetic radiation
55
how many of the tissue types are included within each organ?
all 4: nerve, muscle, connective and epithelial
56
What is formed by ameloblasts?
enamel
57
name & define the 2 aspects of overall contrast
1) Film contrast - inherent qualities of the film and film processing 2) Subject contrast - characteristics of the subject which influence radiographic contrast
