Study Notes
Temporary vs. Interim Materials
- Temporary materials are quicker, cheaper, but have inferior aesthetics compared to interim materials.
- Interim materials last longer and provide a better seal for weakened teeth.
Radiographic Report
- The provided X-ray images are not visible to me.
- The report mentions various restorations, including Class I and Class II restorations and locations of caries lesions.
- Key structures like #17, #16, #46, #45 feature restorations and caries.
- Areas of concern include interproximal caries between teeth #16, #11, #150, and #14, as well as various other localized caries
Explorer Use in Dental Clinics
- Explorers evaluate proximal margins of restorations, removing excess cement and material.
- They check for caries lesions and any damage to the tooth structure.
- Also used for removing excess rubber material.
- Important in periodontal exams, examining furcation and root surfaces.
Teeth Requiring Extraction
- Impacted teeth need extraction to remove bone/tissue impediment.
- Accidents can cause needed teeth extraction.
- Fractured or broken teeth often mandate extraction.
- Periodontal diseases can cause need for extraction.
- Severe decay/damage reaching the pulp may necessitate extraction.
- Wisdom teeth, crowding can be reasons for extraction.
Demineralization pH
- Information on pH level for demineralization is not provided in the given text.
Pre-Endo Build-Up Advantages
- Information on the advantages of pre-end build-up is not supplied in this text.
Anesthesia for Moderate Caries
- Anesthesia suggestions are not included in this text.
Tooth Ache Patient History
- Key aspects to note during the pain history:
- Timing (when the pain started)
- Type of pain
- Trigger factors (especially if pain subsides at times)
- Pain severity on a scale
- Pain characteristics (e.g., sharp, dull)
- Location and areas affected
- Frequency
- Associated symptoms
Dental Tissue Disease in Image
- The image is not visible to me, and thus, the disease cannot be identified from the given context.
Instruments for Proximal Area Check
- Flat plastic material
- Hollenback Carver
- Explorer
- Chisel
- Ball burnisher
Enamel Demineralization Threshold
- The threshold for enamel demineralization is not mentioned explicitly.
Preventing Coronal Microleakage
- Leaving temporary fillings in place for 2-3 months is NOT a good option.
Beveling Rotary Instruments
- Flame-shaped diamond
- Inverted cone carbide bur
- Pear-shaped diamond
- Wheel-shaped edge diamond
- Straight carbide bur
Responding to Patient with Deep Caries
- Temporary restoration, monitor for weeks
- Direct restoration, complete caries removal, pulp capping if needed.
- Selective caries removal + liner
- Perform root canal treatment.
Restoration Failure Causes
- Xerostomia (dry mouth) increases the chance of secondary caries.
- Ideal oral hygiene minimizes caries.
- Selective caries removal protocol helps ensure no caries remains after treatment.
- Supragingival restorations (above the gum line) experience lower chances of secondary caries.
Tacit Knowledge
- Tacit knowledge is acquired through experience and not explicitly stated.
Hard Dental Tissue Disease
- Dental caries
- Abrasion
- Abfraction
- Erosion
Final Restoration Options After Root Canal Treatment
- Full crown with a direct post
- Full crowning with an indirect post
- Direct composite restoration
- Full crown without a post.
Radiolucency in Dentin
- Radiolucency in outer 1/3 of dentin is often related to advanced stages of dental disease but not necessarily an aggressive dental stage.
Amalgam Properties
- Amalgam promotes microleakage.
- Amalgam does not bond to tooth structure
- Amalgam preparation design requirements are minimal
- Amalgam is not an insulator
- Amalgam is associated with allergies for some.
Composite Resin Restoration Planning
- All the given aspects related to composite resin restoration planning and preparation apply to the process.
Caries Adjacent to Existing Restorations
- Primary caries is adjacent to an existing restoration.
Material Usage
- Dycal Ivory is a base in cavity preparation, used when dentin remaining is more than 0.5mm.
Mandibular Molar Cuspal Coverage
- Porcelain fused to metal could potentially be used for cuspal coverage.
Specialist Referral Phase, Patient History, and Remaining Dentin Thickness
- These aspects are important factors in treatment planning.
- Details about patient history are needed for informed treatment plan.
X-Ray Interpretation and Diagnosis
- X-ray interpretation and clinical findings are crucial for diagnosis, and X-ray is not visible
- Information may include a "bump" possibly associated to pulp necrosis or apical abscess.
