Study Notes
Dental Morphology
- Dental Morphology studies the features of the crowns and roots of teeth.
- Dental Anatomy encompasses the development, morphology, function, and identity of teeth.
Orientation Terminology and Charting
- Interproximal space refers to the triangular area between teeth.
- Interdental papillae is the gingival tissue within the interproximal space.
Cusp and Fossa Terminology
- A cusp is an elevation on the tooth crown.
- A fossa is a depression or concavity on the tooth crown.
- A marginal ridge is a linear elevation on the tooth surface.
- An oblique ridge crosses the occlusal surface of some maxillary molars.
Tubercle and Cingulum terminology
- A tubercle is a small elevation on the crown caused by extra enamel.
- A cingulum is a convexity on the cervical portion of an anterior tooth.
Groove Terminology
- A groove is a linear depression on the tooth surface.
- A fissured groove is a deep groove, a result of developmental lobe fusion.
- A supplemental groove is not fissured and is an accessory to a developmental groove.
- A pit is a small depression where developmental grooves meet.
Angle and Line Angle
- An angle is where two lines meet.
- A line angle is where two surfaces meet.
Palmer's Notation
- Palmer's notation uses a symbol to indicate the quadrant and a number for tooth position.
- Adult teeth are numbered 1 to 8 starting from the midline.
- Primary teeth are denoted by letters A to E, counting distally from the central incisor.
- Digital communication has transitioned to uppercase letters for quadrants (UR, UL, LL, LR).
FDI Notation
- FDI notation uses a two-digit code with the first digit indicating the quadrant and the second digit the tooth position.
- 1 - 5 represent permanent teeth, and 6 - 8 represent primary.
Tooth Formation
- Eruption is the continuous movement of a tooth from its bud to occlusal contact.
- Emergence is when a tooth first shows through the gingiva.
Eruption Timing
- Eruption times are approximate and vary based on factors like ethnicity, gender, and individual variation.
- Variations up to 6 months are common.
- Teeth tend to erupt late rather than early.
- Girls usually erupt permanent teeth earlier than boys.
Pre-Emergent Eruption
- Pre-emergent eruption begins shortly after root formation.
- It involves bone resorption and primary tooth resorption.
Toothbrushes
- Soft, nylon, round-ended toothbrushes are recommended.
- Electric toothbrushes are generally superior to manual ones.
- Rotating, oscillating, and pulsating electric brushes are more effective than sonic.
Oral Hygiene Visual Tools
- Blue staining indicates decalcification, with pale blue being the most severe.
Floss Aids
- Super floss is beneficial for under bridges or orthodontic wires.
- Patients struggling with floss should consider interproximal brushes.
Mouthwashes
- Chlorhexidine has antibacterial properties and is available in 0.12% and 0.2% concentrations.
- Essential oil mouthwashes contain menthol, thymol, methyl salicylate, and eucalyptol.
- Avoid alcohol-based mouthwashes for patients with soft tissue sensitivity or risk factors.
- Betadine or iodine possess antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties.
CPP-ACP
- CPP-ACP is a milk-based product used for remineralization and caries prevention.
- It should not be used on patients with milk protein allergies or lactose intolerance.
- It helps buffer plaque pH and can be delivered in crème or chewing gum form.
Professionally Applied Topical Fluoride
- Individuals can be classified as low, moderate, high, or very high risk for dental caries.
- Fluoride varnish is used on patients at moderate, high, or very high risk.
Topical Fluoride Forms
- Topical fluoride comes in gels, foams, and varnishes.
- Varnish has surpassed other forms due to patient compliance, higher fluoride ppm, longer contact time, and placement flexibility.
Enamel Bonding
- The bonding mechanism is micromechanical, relying on enamel structure.
- Bonding strength varies between prismatic and interprismatic enamel.
- Mixed enamel bonding strength is inconsistent.
- All forms provide acceptable bonding strength.
Enamel Bonding Failure
- Avoid excess etching and ensure proper rubber dam use.
- Beveling enamel margins (except occlusal) increases bonding surface.
White Lines in Composite Bonding
- Can be caused by unsupported enamel, thin composite sections, or composite overheating.
Dentin Bonding
- Dentin conditioner removes the smear layer and modifies the dentin surface.
Primer (Coupling Agent)
- Bifunctional monomers with hydrophilic and methacrylate ends bond to hydroxyapatite and collagen.
- Primer application method impacts micro leakage.
- Deep demineralization may hinder primer penetration.
Dentin Bonding Systems
- 4th-generation: etch and rinse (total etch) + prime + bond (3 bottles)
- 5th-generation: etch and rinse (total etch) + prime-bond (2 bottles)
- 6th-generation: self-etching primer (no rinse) + bond (2 bottles)
- 7th-generation: self-etching no rinse, one-bottle system (MDP-based)
- 8th-generation/universal: self-etching no rinse, one-bottle, multimodal system (MDP, silane, nano fillers)
MDP
- 10-methacryloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate, chemically bonds to metals, metal oxides, and hydroxyapatite.
- Preserves collagen by enhancing resistance to enzymes and inhibiting MMP activity.
Challenging Dentin Structural Variation
- Dentin structure varies based on age, location, and health, impacting adhesion.
Breakdown of Dentin Bonding
- Polymerization shrinkage, stress on the bond, poor handling, and thermal expansion differences can lead to failure.
- C-factor (ratio of bonded to unbonded surfaces) impacts polymerization stress.
Effect of Bond Area on Polymerization Shrinkage Stresses
- Higher C-factor increases the risk of bond disruption due to reduced surface area for stress relief.
