Study Notes

Dental Terminology and Conditions

Missing teeth can be due to extraction or failure to erupt, indicating possible dental issues.
Drifting teeth may exhibit overeruption, potentially altering occlusion and requiring intervention.
Multiple missing teeth affects overall dental function and aesthetics, often necessitating prosthetic replacements.
Mesial inclination of drifting teeth can lead to misalignment and bite issues.
Teeth indicated for extraction may be unhealthy or non-restorable due to decay or damage.
Distal inclination in drifting teeth can contribute to malocclusion and other dental complications.
Complete loss of all teeth signifies the need for full dentures or dental implants.
Teeth requiring root canal therapy often indicate severe decay or infection, needing prompt treatment.
A tooth treated with root canal therapy may have undergone an apicoectomy and received a silver amalgam retro filling for sealing.
Presence of an abscessed tooth signals infection and potential systemic effects, requiring urgent care.
Impacted or unerupted teeth can disrupt the normal eruption sequence and alignments, often requiring surgical intervention.
A tooth with a completed root canal is restored to function, reducing the risk of reinfection.
A full gold crown provides extensive coverage and protection for a damaged tooth, enhancing durability.
Fixed bridges using porcelain fused to gold or full gold can replace missing teeth, restoring function and aesthetics.
A 3/4 gold crown offers a balance between strength and tooth preservation for compromised teeth.
Porcelain fused to metal crowns provide aesthetic solutions with strength, commonly used in posterior restorations.
MOD onlay crowns cover multiple surfaces of a tooth, offering protection and restoration for decayed areas.
Maryland bridges utilize wing-like extensions for support without requiring extensive tooth preparation.
Tooth with DO inlay crowns offers efficient coverage for minimal tooth structure loss while promoting strength.
Supernumerary teeth are additional teeth that can complicate dental arch arrangements, often needing removal.
Porcelain crowns provide an aesthetic finish, closely resembling natural tooth appearance for better visual harmony.
Temporary restorations are critical for managing tooth damage while awaiting permanent treatment solutions.
Periodontal pockets indicate advanced gum disease, requiring careful monitoring and potential treatment for stability.
Overhangs on restorations can cause plaque accumulation, leading to decay and periodontal issues.
Occlusal carries develop in the biting surface, necessitating restoration to prevent further decay.
Food impaction between teeth can lead to decay and discomfort, often alleviated through professional cleanings.
Occlusal amalgam restorations serve as durable solutions for extensive decay in posterior teeth.
Open contacts between teeth can promote food trapping and plaque buildup, often requiring orthodontic adjustments.
Occlusal composite restorations provide aesthetic solutions while maintaining functionality for decayed occlusal surfaces.
Decalcification refers to the loss of calcium from tooth enamel, indicating early decay stages.
Enamel sealants act as preventive barriers against decay, especially in vulnerable tooth areas.
Heavy calculus necessitates professional cleaning to prevent periodontal disease and tooth loss.
Disto-occlusal carries require intervention due to their location on the tooth, increasing decay risk.
MOD amalgam restorations with recurrent decay highlight the need for re-evaluation for future treatment options.
Class IV MI composite restorations address extensive decay in anterior teeth, emphasizing functional aesthetics.
Class V facial carries are common in areas vulnerable to caries, requiring appropriate restoration.
Partial dentures provide a solution for missing teeth, improving appearance and function.
Class I lingual amalgam restorations focus on posterior tooth decay, reinforcing structural integrity.
Full dentures replace an entire arch of teeth, restoring functionality and aesthetics for edentulous patients.
Class III M composite restorations address decay in anterior teeth, enhancing aesthetics and tooth function.
Gingival recession and furcation involvement indicate advanced periodontal disease needing targeted treatment.
Rotated teeth may require orthodontic adjustments to achieve proper alignment and function.
Mobility in teeth indicates underlying periodontal issues, signaling a need for further examination.
Diastema refers to gaps between teeth, which can affect aesthetics and may warrant orthodontic intervention.
Fractured teeth or roots can compromise integrity, often requiring restoration efforts or extraction.
Porcelain veneers offer aesthetic enhancements for anterior teeth, providing a natural appearance with minimal alteration.
Stainless steel crowns are commonly used in pediatric dentistry for durable, practical restorations in children’s molars.
Dental implants serve as permanent replacements for missing teeth, mimicking natural roots and providing support for prosthetics.
