16
Q

Bacteria that produce colour as a metabolic by product

A

Chromogenic bacteria

17
Q

Loose deposit of MO’s, desquamated epithelial cells and broken down food debris. White to yellowish white in colour. Cottage cheese appearance
Cellular and non mineralized

18
Q

What is the significance of acquired pellicle

A

Protective, luvrication, nidus (point of origin), attachment of calculus

19
Q

Describe initial adherence of plaque biofilm formation

A

Pellicle formation; forms on the tooth surface by selective absorption of protein components from the saliva, bacteria attach to pellicle. 1-2 day old plaque

20
Q

Bacterial colonization of plaque biofilm formulation

A

Lag phase- 2-4 days old. Planktonic bacterial becomes immobile, sessile, fixed.

21
Q

Rapid growth bacterial colonization stage of plaque biofilm formation

A

Polysaccharides and matrix trap nutrients for the bacteria. 4-14 days old. Gram negative anaerobic species increases. WBC found in plaque. Inflammation evident

22
Q

steady state and attachment stage of plaque biofilm formation

A

14-24 days old. gingivitis present. biofilm is gram-negative bacteria. as the biofilm colony progresses it blooms into a mushroom shape.

23
Q

how does calculus form

A

apposition of new layers of biofilm.
10 days- rapid calculus forms
20 days- slow calculus formers

24
Q

mineralization of undisrupted biofilm can occur within

25
what is the composition of calculus
organic & inorganic & water 75-85% inorganic components (inorganic: calcium, phosphate, carbonate, sodium, magnesium, potassium)
26
Subgingival biofilm is
Pathogenic
27
Increase in pocket depth means there is
A greater accumulation in pathogens, and greater flow of sulcus fluid.
28
Endogenous extrinsic stains examples
Pulpless teeth, tetracycline. -imperfect tooth development: hereditary enamel hypoplasia, dental fluorosis. Other systematic causes
29
Exogenous extrinsic staining is caused by factors outside of the tooth. Examples?
Restorative materials Endo therapy Drugs
30
Which microorganism is primarily involved in dental caries
Mutans streptococcus
31
What is Acidogenic bacteria
Bacteria on tooth surface that metabolize acid from the fermentable carbohydrates ingested by the individual
32
Refined sugars are efficiently assimilated by the bacteria and result in the production of acid and rapid
Drop in pH
33
What is the caries process
Susceptible tooth structure + cariogenic bacteria + dietary fermentable carbs (especially sucrose) = dental caries
34
Saliva and fluoride provide protective factors in promoting
Remineralization
35
Remineralization replenishes what to the tooth structure
Calcium Phosphate Fluoride ions
36
Demineralization depends on 2 factors which are
pH of plaque and saturation of tooth minerals
37
What acts as a buffer to acids and supplies minerals to replace calcium and phosphate ion as well as balance or reverse destruction of tooth structure
Saliva
