    Study Notes

    Dental Terminologies

    • Gemination in dentistry refers to a rare developmental anomaly where a single tooth tries to divide, resulting in a merged twin tooth.

    Pulpotomy

    • A pulpotomy is a dental procedure where the pulp of a tooth is partially removed, usually in primary teeth, to prevent infection and promote healing.

    Ectopic Eruption

    • Ectopic eruption occurs when a tooth erupts in an abnormal position, often due to overcrowding, obstruction, or other factors, affecting the normal alignment of teeth.

    Decalcification

    • Decalcification in dentistry refers to the removal of calcium and phosphate from tooth enamel, often due to acid erosion or bacterial activity, leading to tooth decay and sensitivity.

    Root Canal Treatment

    • The purpose of root canal treatment is to remove infected or damaged pulp from the root canal, clean and disinfect the canal, and fill it with a specialized material to prevent further infection.

    Rubber Dam

    • The function of a rubber dam in endodontic treatment is to isolate the tooth, preventing saliva and bacteria from entering the canal, and ensuring a clean and dry environment for the procedure.

    Endodontic Prob Explorer

    • An endodontic prob explorer is used in root canal treatment to locate the canal orifice, detect canal anatomy, and aid in the localization of canal isthmuses.

    Rotary Endodontic Files

    • The function of rotary endodontic files is to shape and clean the root canal, removing infected tissue and debris, while also facilitating the placement of root canal filling materials.

    Root Canal Sealer

    • The purpose of a root canal sealer is to fill the space between the gutta-percha points and the canal walls, ensuring a hermetic seal and preventing leakage.

    Gutta Percha Points

    • The purpose of gutta percha points in endodontic treatment is to fill the root canal, providing a three-dimensional seal and preventing further infection, while also allowing for easy identification of the canal anatomy.
