Study Notes
Alveolar Crest and CEJ
- Measurement from alveolar crest to cementoenamel junction (CEJ) is crucial in periodontal assessments.
Free Palatal Graft
- Thickness of free palatal graft can influence healing and integration in oral surgeries.
Skilled Periodontist and Architecture
- A skilled periodontist can create positive architecture, ensuring optimal periodontal health and aesthetics.
Perforation Repair with MTA
- Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is commonly used for repairing perforations in root canals due to its biocompatibility and sealing properties.
Varnish Contraindications
- Dental varnish is contraindicated on composite materials due to potential interference with bonding.
Hemorrhagic Ulcerations
- Hemorrhagic ulcerations following antibiotic use may indicate anaphylaxis, a severe allergic reaction requiring immediate medical attention.
Ciprofloxacin Mechanism of Action
- Ciprofloxacin acts by inhibiting DNA gyrase, crucial for bacterial DNA replication.
Antibiotic Prophylaxis Guidelines
- American Heart Association (AHA) 2007-2008 recommends clindamycin 600mg one hour prior to dental procedures for certain patients at risk for endocarditis.
SNB and SNA Angles
- When the SNB angle exceeds the SNA angle, a reverse pull headgear with chin-cup appliance is indicated for treatment.
Changeable Cephalometric Point
- Point A is a cephalometric point that can be altered during orthodontic treatment planning.
Antibiotics for Neonates
- Antibiotic dosages for neonates should be calculated based on the infant's weight to ensure safety and efficacy.
Radiation Intensity
- A radiation intensity of 1Gy is commonly referenced in various clinical situations.
Radiometer Functionality
- A radiometer measures the intensity of light from curing units used in dental procedures.
Ostell's Device Purpose
- Ostell's device is utilized to assess implant stability through resonance frequency analysis, aiding in treatment planning.
Sinus Augmentation
- Sinus augmentation techniques are important in implant dentistry for improving bone volume, typically involving a specific height measurement in mm.
Anterior Loop of IAN
- The anterior loop of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) can vary but is usually around a specific length in mm, important for surgical planning.
Alternate Name for IAN
- The inferior alveolar nerve is also known as the mandibular nerve.
Modified Carnoy's Solution
- Modified Carnoy’s solution has different components compared to classic Carnoy’s solution, impacting its histological applications.
Retentive Clasp Consideration
- The tip of a retentive clasp should be positioned adequately to ensure proper retention without damaging adjacent tissues.
Child Cooperation in Dentistry
- A child exhibiting cooperation for dental treatment after observing an elder sibling’s visit demonstrates social learning behavior.
Pain Assessment Post-Anesthesia
- The Visual Analog Scale is used in Post Anaesthetic Care Units (PACU) to measure pain intensity effectively.
Airway Management Precautions
- Vasoconstrictive drugs are contraindicated in airway management due to potential complications.
Pasteurization Definition
- Pasteurization is a process of heating substances to kill harmful microorganisms, important for food safety standards.
Actinomyces Israeli Classification
- Actinomyces israelii is an anaerobic bacterium implicated in various infections, often treated in dental and medical fields.
