Operative Flashcards
(174 cards)
Fluoride Mechanism
Stimulate remine
Dec critical PH ( dec enamel solubility)
Interfere w/ metabolic activity of cariogenic bacteria
Pit and fissure caries
Many dentinal tubule => rapid destruction
Lesion progression => parallel enamel rod
The least resistance to caries
Dej
Les mineralized => many tubules
Smooth surface caries
Les progressions => fewer dentin tub
Root surface caries
Senile caries
Progress rapidly (no enamel
Asymptomatic
Along sharpey fibers
Associated w POH , dec saliva
Shallow
Affected dentin
Demineralized w/o bac
Enamel caries
Strep. Mutans
Dentinal bac
Lactobacillus
Root caries/ smooth surfacebac
Actinomycet
Lactoferrin (saliva component)
Inactivates Iron ( necessary for bac
Lactoperoxidise
Inactive bac enzyme
Dent. Plaque bac found the earliest
Strep. Sanguis
Brown grey discoloration
Undermined enamel
Lat. spreading
