Cards

Term
Disease Sites:  
Definition
Individual teeth or specific surfaces of a tooth that are experiencing periodontal destruction
Term
Local contributing factors:
Definition
 Oral conditions that increase an individuals susceptibility to periodontal infections in specific sites
Term
Pathogenicity:
Definition
The ablity of the dental plaque biofilm to cause periodontal disease
Term
Dental calculus
Definition
Mineralized bacterial plaque covered on its external surface by nonmineralized, living bacterial plaque.
Term
Two other names for supragingival calculus
Definition
  1. Supramarginal cal
  2. Salivary cal
Term
Pellicle:  
Definition
Thin bacteria free membrane that forms on the surface of the tooth during the late stages of eruption
Term
Overhang restoration:
Definition
Restorative material that extends over the tooth surface
Term
Palatogingival groove:
Definition
A developmental groove found on the palatal surface of incisor teeth.  Common area for plaque to build up
Term
Trauma from occlusion:
Definition
Excessive occlusal forces cause damage to the periodontium resulting in alveolar bone resorption can result, allowing for more rapid destruction by any existing periodontitis
Term
Primary trauma form occlusion:
Definition
Excessive occlusal force on healthy periodontium
Term
Secondary trauma:
Definition
Normal occlusal forces on unhealthy periodontium
Term
Parafunction Occlusal Forces: 
Definition
Tooth to tooth contact when not eating
Term
Functional Occlusal forces:
Definition
Normal forces produced when chewing
Term
Clenching:
Definition

 Continuous or intermittent forceful closure of the maxillary teeth against the mandibular teeth

parafunctional habit

Term
Bruxism: 
Definition

Forceful grinding of the teeth

parafunctional

Term
Occlusal adjustment: 
Definition
Minor adj to bite to minimize the damaging forces
Term
Food impaction: 
Definition
Trapping of food within interdental areas leading to gingival tissue being stripped away increasing periodontal breakdown.  This blunting of the papillia could lead to a change in gingival contour making it difficult to clean
Term
Tongue thrusting:
Definition
Application of forceful pressure against the anterior teeth with the tongue.  The position of the tongue during swallowing  applies excessive lateral pressure
Term
Mouth breathing:  
Definition

The process of primarily breathing through the mouth rather than the nose

Term
Crown: 
Definition
Full coverage crown that protects a damaged tooth
Term
Embrasure Space: 
Definition
In health this is filled with interdental  papilla
Term
Prothesis: 
Definition

Appliance used to replace missing teeth

Term

2 local risk factors can contribute to the initiation and progression of periodontal disease.

Definition
Calculus and tooth morphology
Term
What is calculus
Definition
  • Mineralized plaque that is covered on the external surface by nonmineralized, living plaque.
  • The channels which are nonmineralized contain bacteria
Term
Why is calculus irregularly shaped?
Definition
Because of mechanical removal from the cheeks and lips. As it gets knocked off of brushed off it begins to grow from that spot again
Term
Where are the top 3 places most calculus found?
Definition
  • 1st max premolar
  • Lower ant
  • Always check and see if pt has palatogingival groove
Term
Composition of supragingival calculus
Definition

70-90% inorganic

primarily-calcium phosphate

trace amounts- calcium carbonate,magnesium, sodium, potassium, fluoride,zinc, strontium

 

10-30% organic

materials derived from plaque, dead epithelial cells, dead WCB

Term
What % of interproxmal amalgams have overhangs? What can you do about these?
Definition
  • 25 -27%
  • Smooth with instrument
  • Talk to Dr about using hand piece to adj
Term
In what 3 ways do local risk factors increase susceptibility toperiodontal disease?
Definition
  • Create niches
  • increase amount of plaque pathogenicity
  • prevent effective plaque control
Term
What are some risk factors that increase plaque retention?
Definition
Morphology, calculus, restorative contour,decay
Term
How do "risk factors" affect plaque retention?
Definition
  • increase bacteria
  • prevent cleansing
  • increase pathogenicity
Term

What is the value of performing a periodontal risk assessment?

Definition
  • Predicting an oral disease
  • Help identify individuals and groups who would benefit from targeted interventions
  • Increase clinician awareness
  • Provide a foundation for early recognition which identifies correct disease management technologies.
Term

Five step process in oral risk assessment

Definition

1.      Gather and review assessment data.

2.      assess and analyze

3.      Plan. 

4.      Recommend. 

5.      Evaluate or re-evaluate.

Term
4 factors that directly effect the periodontium
Definition

occlusal forces

food impaction

habots

faulty restorations

Term
Name 3 clinical signs of trauma from occlusion
Definition

Mobility

Sensitivity to pressure

Migration

 

Term
2 radiograghic signs of trauma from occlusion
Definition
  • enlarged, funnel shaped PDL
  • Alveolar bone resorption
Term
Name 3 types of occlusal trauma
Definition

Primary-excessive force on healthy tissue

Secondary- excessive force on unhealthy tissue

Parafunctional occlusal forces

Term
Symptoms of primary occlusal trauma
Definition
  • widened PDL
  • mobility
  • pain
  • Reversible once occlusion is corrected
Term
3 points about occlusal trauma
Definition
  • abnormal forces on unhealthy periodontium
  • pt already has migration of JE and loss of attachment
  • tooth will experience rapid bone loss and increased pocket formation
Term
What is the difference between functional and parafunctional forces
Definition
  • Functional: normal forces applied during mastication
  • Parafunctional: tooth to tooth contact when not masticating. (ie clenching, bruxism) 
Term
What is food impaction?
Definition
Forcing food in between teeth stripping away gingiva and breaking down the periodontium opening the embrasures by blunting the papillia
Term
Explain tongue thrusting
Definition
Excessive lateral pressure against the tooth which may traumatize the periodontium
Term
How do restorations affect soft tissue 
Definition
They can encroach upon the biologic width and push the interpapilla away
Term

       Be able to give examples of local risk factors and how each affects the risk of periodontal disease. 

Definition

       Tooth morphology

       Max. 1st premolars have a mesial concavity and max lateral incisors (palatogingival)

       Poorly contoured restorations

       Undercut or overcontoured restorations prevent cleansing and increase plaque retention

       Calculus

       Porous niches for bacteria

Term

 Know how a dental hygienist can assist in diagnosing and planning for intervention for each risk factor identified.

Definition
  • Tooth morology- Explore areas that we know retain plaque ( max 1st premolars)
  • Poorly contoured restoration- Examine RADS, explore, discuss with Dr
  • Calculus-Remove calculus
Term

Know the different modes of attachment for calculus and level of difficulty of removal for each one.

Definition

1.       Pellicle

                                                                                                               i.       Attaches on the pellicle versus the tooth. 

2.       Irregularities on the tooth surface

                                                                                                               i.      Cracks, openings from detached PDL fibers, over instrumentation grooves

3.       Direct contact of the calcified calculus and tooth

                                                                                                               i.      Calculus matrix interlocked with the inorganic crystals of the tooth
