Study Notes
Dental Examination
- Inspect teeth for carious lesions, faulty restorations, and tooth loss.
- Evaluate presence of deciduous (baby) teeth and supernumerary (extra) teeth.
- Assess surrounding tissues for swellings located in attached gingiva, alveolar mucosa, mucobuccal fold, palate, or sublingual areas.
Occlusion Analysis
- Examine teeth for interferences during:
- Retruded arc of closure
- Intercuspal position
- Lateral excursions
- Identify occlusal trauma which can lead to acute apical periodontitis due to abnormalities in these positions.
Diagnostic Techniques
- Utilize staining with Methylene blue dye for detecting surface cracks in teeth.
- Transillumination may also assist in identifying cracks or defects in dental structures.
