Restorative Therapy Flashcards
Week 1/2 (101 cards)
Caries in children under 5
Early onset & rapid progression
Early childhood caries
Sudden, rapid caries of many teeth that requires urgent intervention
Rampant caries
Slow, progressive decay process that requires regular dental intervention
chronic caries
halting of progress of decay process
arrested caries
new decay that occurs under a restoration or around
its margins
recurrent caries
caries found in the grooves and crevices of the occlusal surfaces of premolars and molars, maxillary incisor lingual pits, mandibular molar facial pits, and maxillary molar lingual grooves.
pit and fissure
caries found on the facial, lingual, mesial, and distal surfaces of the dentition.
smooth surface caries
class I caries
Pits and fissures of anterior
and posterior teeth
class II caries
proximal surfaces of posterior
teeth
class III caries
Proximal surfaces of anterior
teeth NOT involving
the incisial edge
class IV caries
proximal surfaces of anteriors,
involving the incisal
edge
class V caries
cervical third
class VI caries
incisal edge of anterior
teeth or cusp tip of posterior
teeth
simple caries
1 surface
compound caries
2 surfaces
complex caries
3 or more surfaces
detecting caries CLINICALLY
- air drying
- explorer
- radiographs
reasons why a tooth needs to be restored
- acquired tooth damage
- defective restorations
- esthetics
- occlusion
- mastication
examples of ACQUIRED TOOTH DAMAGE
abrasion
erosion
abfraction
attrition
fracture
caries
restoration material durable and compatible with the
oral environment
gold
restoration material that is the longest lasting, cost
effective, versatile.
amalgam
popular for esthetics but have a greater rate of recurrent
decay
composite resin
a viscous material placed between tooth structure and a prosthesis that hardens through chemical reactions to firmly attach the prosthesis to the tooth structure
luting agent
types of restorations
direct and indirect
