29
another word for toothpaste
dentifrices
30
basic components of dentifrices
- detergent; loosens debris - abrasive ; clean and polishes - binder; prevents separation - humectants; retains moisture - preservatives; helps bacterial growth - flavouring - fluoride; therapeutic agent

added into toothpaste to reduce plaque
32

34
anti sensitivity toothpaste
contains potassium nitrate helps reduce root sensitivity
35

2 facial and lingual
36
col

2 floss techniques
spool method: most common wraps floss around fingers circle or loop method creating a circle and holding good for kids
39

40
what types of clients may need other dental aids
- large interdental spaces - open furcations - irregularities of tooth position
41

an effective alternative for the reduction of bleeding and gingivitis for patients who cannot or will not floss

how does oral irrigation work
by directing a stream of water through a nozzle to the tooth surface
47

non power driven oral irrigation
attaches to faucet has no pressure control
50
benefits of oral irrigation
reduction of gingivitis and bleeding reduce biofilm sungingival access delivery of microbial agents removal of bacteria
51
monojet
single stream
52
how deep can the oral irritation system go
2mm subgingivally
53
negatives to oral irrigation
- bacteria can be forced into sulcus - excessive water pressure can disrupt dentogingival attachment - expensive - does not replace brushing or flossing - patients with healthy gingiva don’t need it
