exam 3 Flashcards
(90 cards)
this is a cationic bisbiguanide with broad antibacterial activity that binds to the oral hard and soft tissues and attaches to bacterial cell membrane, thereby adamaging the cytoplasm causing lysis
chlorhexadine
what are local self care methods for delivering chemical agents?
tooth brushing, rinsing, and irrigation
this type of implant is when inflammation is present, but no mobility.. consult a surgeon if no response to treatment within two weeks
ailing implant
this is an implant placed within the bone to replace a single tooth to provide support for the replacement of complete or partial loss of teeth.. these are placed fully within the bone and are most widely used implant. successful tooth replacement is accomplished by ossentigration which means direct bone anchorage to an implant body
endosseous
what is the optimum fluoride level?
0.7-1.2 ppm
stannous fluoride
SnF2
which type of fluoride is used for hypersensitivity and as a cavity liner?
5% neutral sodium varnish
what does type II gingival embrasure look like?
with slight to moderate recession of the interdental papilla
this is the direct attachment or connection of osseous tissue to an inert alloplastic material without intervening connective tissue
osseointegration
this binds tot he pellicle and salivary mucins to prvent biofilm accumulation, bactericidal and bacteriostatic depending on concentration, antimicrobial and antigingivitis agent
chlorhexadine
what can be helpful for a pt. or caregiver flossing the teeth?
floss holder
wedge or V shaped cervical lesion created by the stresses of lateral or eccentric tooth movements during occlusal function, bruxing, or parafunctional activity resulting in mircrofractures
abfraction
a common titiantium alloy used for dental implants contains 6% aluminum to increase strength and decrease weight and 4% vanadium to prevent corrosion
titanium alloy
what are the beneficial effects from oral irrigation?
reduction of gingivitis and bleeding
reduction or alteration of subgingival dental biofilm
reduction of inflammatory mediators
subgingival acess to pathogenic microorganisms (the standard jet tip can penetrate below the gingival margin 44% and 71% of pocket depth)
subgingival delivery of antimicrobial agents
what does topical fluoride work to do?
inhibit demin
enhance remin of incipient lesions
inhibit bacterial acitivity by inhibiting enolase, an enzyme needing by bacteria to metabolize carbohydrates
work as densensitizer
inhibit erosion
a chemical with therapeutic properties that is delivered by rinsing or irrigation device
therapeutic rinse
neutral sodium flouride
NaF
with an implant, this is a reversible bacterial infection in the soft tissue similar to gingivitis, it has mild color change with bleeding and may be present
initial stage- mucositis
agent that binds to the oral hard and soft tissues and causes cell lysis.. this is the most effective antimicrobial and antigingivitis agent available and causes brown staining that comes off by polishing
chlorhexadine
transient pain arising from exposed dentin, typically in response to a stimulus which cannot be explained as arising from any other form of dental defect or pathology and subsides quickly when stimulus is removed
dentin hypersensitivity
what are the risk factors for oral cancer?
tobacco use
alcohol use
sun exposure
V shaped spillway space next to the contact area of adjacent teeth, narrowest at the contact and widening toward the facial, lingual, and occlusal contacts
embrasure
The ability of an agent to bind to the pellicle tooth surface, and soft tissue and released over an extended period of time with the retention of potency
substantivity
form of enamel hypomineralization due tot excessive ingestion of fluoride during the development and mineralization of the teeth.. depending on the length of exposure and the concentration of the fluoride, the fluoride exposed area may appear as a small white spot or severe brown staining with pitting
fluorosis
