Study Notes
Copper and Fluoride
- The copper ratio that eliminates the gamma phase is 13% Copper.
- Fluoride in water concentrates at 1 ppm.
Dental Instruments and Techniques
- A scaler with elliptical motion, used for plaque and calculus removal, is referred to as a Magnetostrictive scaler.
- Sodium hypochlorite, the most commonly used irrigant in endodontics, is utilized at a concentration of 5.25%.
- For subgingival procedures, a Gracey Curette is the preferred instrument.
Periodontal Classification and Conditions
- According to Kennedy's classification, bilateral edentulous areas located posterior to remaining natural teeth are classified as Class one, while areas anterior to remaining teeth are classified as Class four.
- A 21-year-old male with attachment loss at upper canines and lower premolars is diagnosed with Localized Periodontitis.
- Following surgery, complete re-epithelization occurs typically after 10-15 days.
Surgical Considerations
- Removing dentin in a zone dangerous to cementum is termed "Stripping."
- A wide base for mucoperiosteal flaps is important to ensure better blood supply to the wound.
Hematology in Dentistry
- Thrombocytopenia leads to an increase in bleeding time.
- Patients with Hemophilia may require an intraosseous injection during dental procedures.
Restorative Techniques and Materials
- PRR (Preventive Resin Restoration) is indicated for shallow caries involving the entire fissure.
- For arrested caries, the recommended treatment is PRR, while GIC is commonly used for carious lesions.
- Porcelain is noted for being more stable in color compared to composite materials.
Fluoride and Patient Care
- Fluoride tablets should be chewed and used to wash the teeth before swallowing.
- For a child with newly erupted teeth showing no catch in pits and fissures, applying fluoride varnish is the suggested treatment.
- A child with no catch in the pits and fissure area is likely around 6-8 years old when permanent molars begin to erupt.
Orthodontics and Surgical Considerations
- Post-orthodontic procedures yield the most stable results with maxillary superior repositioning.
- A first orthodontic visit is recommended when upper permanent incisors erupt.
RPD and Oral Surgeries
- The part of a removable partial denture (RPD) acting as a seat on the occlusal surface is known as a "Rest."
- During mentoplasty, careful consideration should be given to avoid injuring the Mental nerve.
Miscellaneous
- A child presenting for dental treatment typically demonstrates healthy eruptive patterns, indicating normal developmental processes.
- Surgical complications and healing processes are crucial for successful dental interventions.
