Study Notes
Hepatitis
- A virus notable for its resistance to chemical and physical agents.
Anteriorly
- Refers to the movement of the articular disk when the patient's mouth is opened widely.
Odontoblasts
- Cells that are damaged during the overheating of an amalgam while polishing.
Juvenile Periodontitis
- Associated with unique microflora and defects in polymorphonuclear leukocyte (PMN) function.
Hoes
- Tools that have a significant limitation in adapting to curved surfaces.
Maxillary First Premolar
- The palatal root surfaces typically exhibit longitudinal developmental grooves.
Rubella
- A virus that can cross the placenta and result in congenital defects in the fetus.
Community Water Fluoridation
- Public endorsements from local leaders significantly increase the likelihood of adopting this health measure.
Fluoride and Bone
- A person who lived in a non-fluoridated community and moved to an area with 10ppm fluoride at age 11 may have increased fluoride stored in bones by age 35.
Essential Amino Acids
- They cannot be produced in sufficient quantity by the body to meet its needs, making them essential in the diet.
Bacterial Spores
- They pose a challenge in sterilization processes due to their resistance to physical and chemical agents.
Baseline Program Data
- Essential for evaluating how well a dental health program meets its objectives.
Caries Prevalence
- Refers to the level of untreated dental caries present in a population at a specific time.
Fluorapatite
- Its resistance to tooth decay is due to its stable energy bond with calcium.
Cementum Mineralization
- The mineralization of normal cementum is similar to that of bone.
Hydrocolloid Impression Material
- A significant disadvantage is the lack of dimensional stability.
Periodontal Regeneration
- Involves the creation of new crevicular epithelium.
Community Surveys
- Interviews are the most effective method for assessing oral hygiene practices among indigent populations.
Vitamin Deficiencies
- Lack of vitamins C and K can lead to abnormal hemostasis in patients.
Radial Artery
- It is the most commonly used artery for checking pulse rates in conscious adults.
Humoral Immunity
- Mediated by B lymphocytes.
Radiation Exposure
- Standing three meters away from a radiation source reduces exposure by a factor of nine compared to standing one meter away.
Delayed Expansion of Amalgam
- Caused by moisture contamination during the mixing or condensation process.
Compromised Pulmonary Function
- Treating such patients involves adjusting the dental chair to a more upright position.
Space Maintainer
- Its role in the mandibular arch for an 8-year-old is primarily to prevent the loss of arch space.
Epinephrine (Epi)
- A sympathomimetic drug that can lead to increased blood pressure.
Hilus of the Lung
- The entry point for the bronchus, pulmonary veins, arteries, and associated nerves and lymphatics into the lung.
Epithelial Attachment
- Comprised of cuboidal epithelium featuring extensive keratinization.
Coronary Occlusion
- A possible cause of sudden difficulty breathing and radiating pain during a dental prophylaxis.
Gingival Resilience
- Primarily attributed to collagenous tissue providing firmness and resilience.
Root Planing Technique
- Most effective technique employs short, even strokes followed by longer strokes.
X-ray Beam Diameter
- The maximum diameter of the x-ray beam at the skin's surface should not exceed 2.75 inches.
X-ray Absorption
- Long wavelength rays are more readily absorbed by the skin.
Dental Plaque
- Identified as the primary cause of inflammatory periodontal disease, particularly in diabetic patients.
