Cards

Term
the gingiva, the attachment apparatus and the alveolar bone all make up what?
Definition
peridontium
Term
the attachment apparatus consists of what?
Definition

-cementum

-periodontal ligament

-alveolar process

Term
what is so special about the periodontal ligament, what does it do?
Definition

-replace cementum

-make more periodontal ligaments

-replace bone

(this is why it is so important to maintain blood supply to the periodontal ligament)

Term
if a tooth has been damaged and perioligament health is in question what are some factors that could depend on its continued health?
Definition

-stabilization

-extent of damage

-contamination of tissue with toxins from necrotic dental pulp

-time tooth was out of socket

-storage method used

Term
extra alveolar time
Definition
time tooth was out of socket
Term
dry storage
Definition
tooth was not placed in fluid or solution
Term
root resorption
Definition
breakdown or destruction of root structure of a tooth, when the living body cells attack part of tooth.
Term

quite often root resorption happens during orthodontics

true/false

Definition
true dental trauma can be caused by moving teeth.
Term
avulsion
Definition
traumatic removal of tooth( accidental or sport injury).
Term
reimplantation
Definition

 when a tooth can be reinserted into alveolus.

(optimal time for this is 15 min)

Term
tooth luxation
Definition
dislocation of primary teeth
Term
replacement resorption
Definition

cementoblasts are responsible for depositing cementum on dentin that covers the root.

 

osteoblasts are responsible for producing bone that lies under perio ligament

Term
remodeling
Definition
when osteoblasts respond to traumatic injury by producing new bone to repair alveolar bone.
Term
recontouring
Definition
when a tooth is lost and replanted, the direct attachment of bone leads to recontouring of physical bone and entire root is replaced with bone.
Term
replacement resorption
Definition
when damage to bone involves slow cementoblasts and therefore osteoblasts get there first and entire root is covered by bone. it involves recontouring.
Term
ankylosis
Definition
the fusion of tooth to bone, prevents tooth from erupting.
Term
if using percussion and hearing a high pitch sound what does this indicate?
Definition

root resorption

(another common thing about roor resorption is no mobility)

Term
pulpal necrosis
Definition
death of pulp tissue
Term
what does inflammatory resporption involve?
Definition

-death of pulp

-necrotic tissue is infected with toxins

-occurs when replacement resorption involves dentin

-inflammatory products cause loss of root surface (cementum)

Term
when inflammatory resorption occurs what must be re-established to save the tooth?
Definition
revascularization
Term
if the pulp dies and there is no blood supply to tooth what is necessary?
Definition
root canal
Term
can pulp be revascularized with open apices?
Definition
-yes you can revascularize if apex is opened but not if apex is closed.
Term
during the examination after tooth avulsion or trauma what are you looking for?
Definition

-soft tissue lacerations

-tooth integrity

-loose teeth (mobile/ blood supply may have been affected

-movement of alveolar process (indicates alveolar fracture)

Term
what is the greatest predictor of root resorption?
Definition
extraoral time
Term
what can cause loss of pdl and dehydration of pulp?
Definition
drying
Term
when there has been tooth injury what other things could be affected?
Definition

head or spine injury

neurological trauma

pain control (temp)

Term
what do you use to test for validity of pulp? how does it work?
Definition

-pulp tester(electric charge calibrated patient responds to temp)

-if cold then goes away tooth is normal

-if hot indicative that pulp may be compromised

-if no response to heat at all, pulpal necrosis likely

Term
what does a laser doppler do/
Definition
-realtime measurement of flow of red blood cells in capillaries "perfusion"
Term
what are the categories of traumatic dental injuries?
Definition

class I- enamel only

class II-enamel and dentin

class III-enamel, dentin, and pulp

class IV-complete loss of clinical crown at gumline

Term
what should happen if primary tooth is interferes with occlusion or endangers permanant teeth?
Definition
extraction
Term
what is ischema
Definition
obstruction of blood supply to pulp
Term
what are 2 types of displacement?
Definition

intruded teeth-pushed in

extruded teeth-pushed out or avulsed

Term
most trauma occurs to what teeth
Definition
anteriors
Term
what are some structures that are involved in traumatized teeth?
Definition

-pdl

-cementum

-alveolar bone

-nerves

--blood supply

Term
root resorption often occurs when?
Definition

naturally by shedding deciduous teeth

 

trauma

Term
what are the 2 types of root resporption?
Definition

replacement (most common)

 

inflammatory

Term
what is the most common tooth associated with avulsed primary teeth?
Definition

maxillary anterior 

may discolor

great risk for age 2 and under

Term
a primary tooth injury can have damage to tooth germ. what is the percentage affects the permanent tooth?
Definition
30%
Term
apexification
Definition
involves root canal dressing, usually calcium hydroxide at apex which may induce closing of apex.
Term
what do you do if you are replacing an avulsed tooth?
Definition

rinse tooth

align tooth with socket

rinse with saline to avoid clot

blunt instrument 

splint to give stability

crown fracures with no luxation heal 99%

Term
is tooth survival likely if extra alveolar time exceeds 60 min?
Definition
not likely
Term
can you use fragments of teeth if chipped?
Definition
yes
Term
if an apical diameter is less than 0.7mmm in an intruded secondary tooth what may happen?
Definition
death of tooth
Term
if apical diameter is 1.2mm is there a chance for healing of loss of secondary tooth?
Definition
yes
Term
what are the optimal ways to store tooth?
Definition

milk

saliva

saline

Term
abutment teeth
Definition
teeth used for attaching a bridge at both ends
Term
primary dentition trauma peaks at age?
Definition
2-3 (when children walk)
Term
movement of teeth and alveolar process together indicates what?
Definition
alveolar ridge fracture
Term
the initial exam of dental trauma includes?
Definition

-soft tissue exam

-hard tissue exam

-x-rays

neurological evaluation

(can involve head or brain inury)

Term
a class III fracture involves what?
Definition
enamel, dentin, pulp tissue
