Key Terms in Oral Diagnosis
- Detection: The process of discovering tooth imperfections or decay.
- Extraoral: Refers to examinations or conditions occurring outside the oral cavity.
- Furcation: The area located between two or more root branches of a tooth.
- Intraoral: Pertains to examinations or conditions occurring within the oral cavity.
- Mobility: The ability of a tooth or teeth to move or shift.
Clinical Techniques
- Morphology: A branch of biology focused on the form and structure of organisms, including tooth structure.
- Palpation: A method where the clinician touches or feels soft tissues to identify abnormalities.
- Probing: Involves using a slender, flexible instrument to explore and measure the depth of periodontal pockets.
Restorative Dentistry
- Restoration: The process of using dental materials to restore teeth to their original function.
- Materials Not Used for Restoration: Brass is not utilized for tooth restoration.
Patient Reasons for Seeking Care
- New patients seeking assessment or treatment.
- Patients needing emergency dental care.
- Consultations for specific dental concerns.
- Returning patients for follow-up care.
Diagnostic Techniques
- Methods to detect decay include visual exams, instrumentation, and radiographic imaging.
- Intraoral imaging resembles the use of a video camera to visualize the oral cavity.
Tooth Charting and Classification
- Visible Tooth Symbol: An "X" indicates a tooth that is not visible in the mouth.
- G.V. Black's Classifications:
- Class I and II involve cavities in the premolars and molars.
- Classes I, III, and IV involve cavities in the incisors.
- Charting MOD Amalgam: For tooth number 4, outline the mesial, occlusal, and distal surfaces in blue.
Professional Roles
- Only dentists and hygienists are legally authorized to perform periodontal probing and conduct bleeding indices.
Mobility and Skeletal Structure
- Severe Dental Mobility: Class IV indicates the most serious level of tooth mobility.
- Lymph Node Examination: Cervical lymph nodes are assessed for signs of swelling and tenderness.
- Facial Symmetry: Faces that are not identical mirror images are characterized as asymmetrical.
