part 1 Flashcards
a type of periapical diagnosis wherein its sign and symptom is that there is painful response to biting and percussion
Acute Apical Periodontitis (AAP)
(9) Ovoid root canal opening
maxillary: LI, Canine, 1PM and 2PM
mandibular: CI, LI, Canine, 1PM and 2PM
aka non vital or internal bleaching
intracoronal bleaching
removal of the entire root, leaving the crown intact
root resection
separation of a multirooted tooth through the furcation in such a way that a root and the associated portion of the crown may be removed
hemisection
a vital pulp therapy procedure performed to allow continued physiologic development and formation of the root
apexogenesis
when the apical protion of the root with periradicular pathosis cannot be cleaned, shaped and obturated
root-end resection
the most apical end of the root
anatomical apex
locate about 0.5mm from the apical foramen in the area of DCJ
apical constriction
termed as the “natural stop”
apical constriction
instrument usd to remove pulp tissue from wide root canals
broach
his tightly spiraled cutting edges that cut either in reaming or a push-and-pull filing motion
K-files
manufactured by cutting the spiral flutes into the shaft of a tapered wire to produce elevated cutting edges that appear to form a series of intersecting cones
hedstrom file
file that is used in pulling strokes only (withdrawal stroke)
hedstrom file
manufactured by cutting the spiral flutes into a round wire of superelastic nickel titanium alloy
NiTi file
a bisbiguanide antiseptic agent is used to kill or inhibit microorganism
Chlorhexidine (CHX)
this aqueous solution removes inorganic ions such as calcium to demineralize and soften the dentin
EDTA
EDTA is short for?
ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid
half turn twist and pull (clockwise) file
reamer
manufactured by twisting a tapered, triangular or square wire to for, an instrument with sharp cutting edges
used to enlarge the root canal
reamer
distance between apical foramen and apical apex = 0.5mm
apical foramen
what root is usually the most difficult to locate?
MB root of Max 1st molar
is the displacement of the tooth from its original position in the alveolus, without total avulsion, resulting from acute trauma
luxation
used to fill the discrepancies between the canal walls and core materials
