Study Notes
Restorative and Esthetic Dentistry
- Restorative and esthetic dentistry is also referred to as operative dentistry or general dentistry.
- Decay in teeth is also known as a cavity.
- Resistance form determines the shape and placement of a cavity's walls.
- The pulpal floor of a tooth is the surface perpendicular to the tooth's long axis.
Class I Restoration
- Found on the occlusal pits and fissures of premolars and molars, buccal pits and fissures of mandibular molars, lingual pits and fissures of maxillary molars, and lingual pits of maxillary incisors.
Class II Restoration
- Involves two or more surfaces.
- Located in the posterior teeth.
Class IV Restoration
- Composite resin is used for these restorations.
Class III and IV Restorations
- Dental dams are used for moisture control during these procedures.
Class V Lesions
- Found more frequently in older populations.
- Often progress near the cementoenamel junction, and possibly onto the root of the tooth.
Intermediate Restorations
- Are placed to:
- Determine the health of the tooth
- Wait for a permanent restoration
- Financial reasons
- Placement of intermediate restorations may be an expanded function for dental assistants.
Resin Veneers
- Most often placed on the facial tooth surface
- Direct veneers are applied directly into the tooth.
- Indirect veneers are fabricated in a dental lab.
General Dentistry
- Restorative and esthetic dentistry is often referred to as operative dentistry or general dentistry.
- Another term used to describe decayed teeth is a cavity.
- Resistance form allows the dentist to determine the primary shape and placement of the cavity walls.
- The pulpal floor is perpendicular to the long axis of the tooth.
- A class I restoration can be on the occlusal pits and fissures of premolars and molars, buccal pits and fissures of mandibular molars, lingual pits and fissures of maxillary molars, and lingual pits of maxillary incisors.
- A class I restoration can include two or more surfaces.
- A class II restoration would be located in the posterior teeth.
- Composite resin is used for a class IV restoration.
- The dental dam is used for moisture control in class III and IV restorations.
- Class V lesions in the older population tend to progress near the cementoenamel junction and possibly onto the root of the tooth.
- An intermediate restoration is placed to wait to determine the health of the tooth, while waiting for permanent restoration, and for financial reasons.
- Placing an intermediate restoration is an expanded function in some states/districts.
- The facial tooth surface most often receives a resin veneer.
- Direct veneers are applied directly to the tooth and indirect veneers are fabricated in a lab.
Nutrients
- Nutrients are essential components found in food that the body needs for proper function.
- Three types of carbohydrates exist: simple carbohydrates (sugars), complex carbohydrates, and fiber.
- Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals.
- Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, crucial for body repair and growth.
- Nine out of 20 amino acids are considered essential, meaning the body cannot produce them.
- Complete proteins contain all nine essential amino acids.
- Excess dietary fat contributes to various systemic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, and cancer.
- HDL cholesterol is considered "good," while LDL cholesterol is considered "bad."
- Fat-soluble vitamins (D, E, A, and K) are stored in the body and are not destroyed by cooking.
- Water-soluble vitamins, often referred to as the B-complex vitamins, are not stored.
- Water is often referred to as the "forgotten nutrient."
- Minerals required by the body in the largest quantities include sodium, potassium, calcium, chlorine, phosphorus, and magnesium.
- Sugar (simple carbohydrates) is the primary dietary factor contributing to dental caries.
Food Diary
- A food diary should include all meals, snacks, beverages, candies, desserts, and cough drops.
- Sugar-free substitutes are non-cariogenic and do not contribute to dental caries.
Food Labeling
- The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) regulates the labeling of food products.
