| what can one do to prevent oral diseases> |
|
|
Term
1. bacteria and food creates acid on tooth.
2.toothe surface loses minerals from acid.
3.tooth becomes softer.
4.incipient caries (within enamel) develops.
5.overt cavitation: significant loss of tooth structure with resulting loss of outside enamel.
6.etiology: prolonged presence of pathogenic biofilm contacts tooth surface. |
|
Definition
| describe the progression of dental caries. |
|
|
Term
DEMINERALIZED tooth surface related to biofilm and food source contact on tooth surface.
-it apears white/ often seen around bracket lines of braces.
-caries are decalcifications
-tooth surface soft. |
|
Definition
|
|
Term

|
Definition
what is incipient decay when talking about caries?
|
|
|
Term
-interproximal decay-between teeth
-cervical decay-and cej
-Apical decay-near apex of root

-Lingual decay-on lingual surface (tongue) |
|
Definition
| what are some types of caries? |
|
|
Term
-prolonged presence of virulent bacteria
-tissue inflammatory response
-initially inflammatory response at cell level
-progresses to larger tissue areas including bone. |
|
Definition
| How does periodonal disease progress? |
|
|
Term
-gingiva would attach just below CEJ.
-The place where giniva would attach is at junctional epithelium or JE. |
|
Definition
| what would healthy gingival tissue look like? |
|
|
Term
| -unhealthy gingiva would be where the JE is farther away from the CEJ. |
|
Definition
| Where would unhealthy gingiva be? |
|
|
Term
-pink
-no bleeding
-stippling looks like an orange peel when dried with air
-has a knife edge contour. |

Definition
| describe heatlhy gingiva. |
|
|
Term
| 1,2, or 3 mm is considered normal. |
|
Definition
| when measuring healthy gingiva with a periodontal probe what are healthy or normal numbers in mm? |
|

Definition
| what are some indications of unhealthy gingiva when measuring with a periodontal probe? |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-involves only the soft tissue
-does not include alveolar bone
-gingiva is red and smooth and bleeds easily
-can be reversed with biofilm control. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
-involves both soft tissue and hard tissue as well as alveolar bone.
-alveolar bone loss

|
|
Term
| gingivitis and periodontitis |
|
Definition
-both caused by biofilm
-gingivitis can be reversed
-periodontitis can be managed but bone loss is permanent
-biofilm control can prevent additional damage if intervention is early enough in periodontitis. |
|
|
Term

|
Term
regular oral exams are beneficial in systemic disease prevention/detection because systemic diseases have an influence on oral health.
