chapter 8 Flashcards
(104 cards)
this is gathered and is critical to have as a reference tool, a historical record and a patient educational resource
documentation of information
this stain has been attributed to flurorescent bactria and fungi such as penicillium and aspergillus.. occurs on gingival half of facial surfaces of anterior teeth
green stain
this discourages flossing
tight contact
this type of furcation classification is early stage furcation involvement with pocket formation into the flute of the furca that may include limited bone loss and without radiographic changes
grade I
what are the locations of bifurcation?
2 rooted mandibular molars on the buccal and lingual aspects
2 rooted maxilary first pre molars on the mesial and distal aspects
3 rooted maxillary molars on the buccal, mesiolingual and distolingual aspects
what type of furcation is present in a two rooted tooth?
bifurcation
this type of radiograph is more helpful with third molars and larger image diagnosis
panoramic
what is 85% of dental treatment related to?
diagnosis, treatment and prevention of plaque biofilm
this is the first stage in the dental hygiene progress of patient care
assessment
The medical history ensures patient safety, health and well being by aiding the clinician in the following:
evaluation oral manifestations of systemic disease
detecting systemic conditions that may affect the periodontal tissue response
detecting systemic and infectious conditions that require special precautions and modifications in treatment procedures
this is only an indication that destructive disease has occurred
clinical attachment loss
what are the reasons for 75% of extractions?
periodontal disease and dental caries
this is the loss of the tooth structure caused by chronic destructive processes other than dental caries
tooth wear
what sources can excessive ingestion of fluoride come from?
tooth paste, fluoride supplements and water can cause hypomineralization of enamel during development known as fluorosis
what type of color gingiva indicates chronic inflammation
dark red to cyanktic
what is the chief complain of erosion?
temperature and tactile sensitivity and increased staining in the wear lesions
this is early lesions are wide shallow or silky smooth concavities that are greater in width from chemical actions of acid… advanced lesions are denton involvement, restorations rising above adjacent tooth and from chemical actions of acids
erosion
in orange stain, what have been the responsible chromogenic organisms?
serratia marcesens and flavobacterium lutesecens
this is a green to yellow stain, most often seen in children and thought to be from biting fingernails
green stain
how can you access furcation of mandibular molars?
straight buccally and lingually between the mesial and distal roots
colored area of probe remains completely visible in the deepest crevice of the sextant… no calculus or defective margins are detected… gingival tissues are healthy with no BOP
code 0
this type of measurement is the distance between the gingival margin and the base of the gingival sulcus
pocket depth, probing depth or gingival sulcus depth
this is the distance between the CEJ and the most apical extent of the epithelial attachment
clinical attachment loss
these are stains that occur within the tooth structure and cannot be mechanically removed by scaling or polishing mainly from pre eruption and post eruption drug interactions
intrinsic stain
