breast milk
remineralization can be increased with what two things
fluoride application and diet modification
gatorade is as much cariogenic as coke and other soft drinks true or false
true
Dry mouth resulting from reduced or absent saliva
xerostomia
which secretion contain the digestive enzyme in saliva
serous secretion
which secretions contain the lubricating aid in saliva
mucus secretion
all of the following are what
thyocynate, lysozyme, immunoglobulins, lactoferrin and transferrin
antimicrobial consituents of saliva
alteration of taste, plaque formation, increase risk of caries and root surface caries is an example of what disease
xerostomia
Autoimmune disease featuring inflammation of the salivary glands and the lacrimal glands, characterized by dryness of the mouth and eyes, found commonly in postmenopausal women
sjogren’s syndrome
epitheloid granulomas in the salivary glands is characterized by what disease
sarcoidosis
amyloid deposits in the salivary glands is characterized by what disease
amyloidosis
sjoogrens syndrome, sarcoidosis and amyloidosis all can cause what
xerostomia
Antihistamines, Antidepressants, Antihypertensive, Antipsychotics are all medication that can cause what
xerostomia
A biofilm consisting of a gelatinous mass of bacteria adhering to the tooth structure is called
bacterial plaque
An acellular structureless coating comprised of amino acids and carbohydrates derived from saliva is called
acquired pellicle
acquired pellicle protects teeth from what
acids
acquired pellicle may provide matrix for what
remineralization process
- Contains antibacterial factors
- May provide matrix for remineralization process
- Protects enamel
- Reduces friction between teeth
All of the following are examples of what’s function
acquired pellicle
pellicle forms within what time frame
30 min -2 hrs
As plaque matures bacteria become primarily what
anaerobic
Most of the microbial bacteria in mouth is not what
cariogenic
Capable of producing significant amounts of acid is called what
acidogenic
A bacteria that is Tolerant of an acidic environment is called
aciduric
Acidogenic bacteria in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates produce
acids
acids dissolve what
calcium phosphate in tooth
zone 1 of enamel demineralization is characterized by what
translucent, deepest advancing front
zone 4 of enamel demineralization is characterized by what
surface zone, unaffected and usually intact enamel
region of dentin deepest and closest to pulp, no bacteria present, not usually removed is called
affected dentin
area of dentin closer to surface, that has bacteria present
infected dentin
what are the three caries causing bacteria
Strep. mutans, lactobacillus and actinomyces
Generally associated with the initial onset of caries is what type of bacteria
strep mutans
this is generally the bacteria that leads to the progression of carious lesions
lactobacillus
which bacteria is highly prevelant in root caries
actinomyces
what is more important than quantitiy when it comes to dietary factors leading to caries
frequency
in order what is the succeptibility of tooth surfaces to caries
pit/fissure, smooth surface and root caries
how does the lesion spread in pit and fissure caries
starts as a narrow point on surface of enamel and spreads wider as it approaches DEJ
how does the lesion spread in smooth surface caries found interproximally
Begin as broad area which narrows to a point as it approaches the DEJ
root caries are what class
5
what caries are Common with gingival recession and/or decreased saliva flow
root caries
Tend to be U shaped due to lack of enamel what type of caries
root caries
what is pH for dentin and cementum caries to begin and what is it for enamel
6.4, 5.5
Complete remineralization is possible until
cavitation occurs
Assumes all plaque is pathogenic and has similar bacterial composition is which etiology theory of caries
non-specific plaque theory
Plaque assumed to be pathologic only when there is evidence of disease present is which etiology theory of caries
specific plaque theory
how is non specific plaque theory managed
eliminate plaque (brushing flossing), restoring tooth surfaces
Interaction between organisms and their environment, Deals with role of sugar, fluoride, pH and microbial homeostasis in plaque is which theory of etiology of caries
ecological plaque theory
High levels of saliva have what effect
cariostatic effect
Disease, Sjögren’s Syndrome, Sarcoidosis, Radiation, Surgery, Medications, Eating disorders, Anxiety are all factors effecting what
salivary flow
Decreased salivary flow leads to more caries- susceptibility is which test
salivary flow test
Direct antimicrobial effect on S. mutans by inhibition of glycolysis and glucose uptake is a role of what
fluoride
fluoride acts as a catalyst to enhance what
remineralization
fluoride is not as effective on what type of caries but is effective on what type of caries
pit and fissure, smooth surface
Fluorosis is caused by what
excessive fluoride
Chlorhexidine; Listerine are examples of what
antimicrobial agents
Effective as they are immediately toxic to bacteria and will not get resistance built up
antimicrobial agent
which lesions occur on the proximal surfaces of anterior teeth (incisors and canines)
Class 3
Class three do not involve what area of tooth
