| functions of provisional crown | Reduces sensitivity and discomfort. Maintains the function and esthetics. Protects the margins. Prevents shifting |
| provides a “temporary wall” for the restoration process of class II, III and IV preparations. | matrix system |
| Holds matrix band in position; Positioned most commonly from the buccal surface of the tooth being restored | tofflemire retainer |
| Larger circumference is the occlusal edge Smaller circumference is the gingival edge | placing tofflemire |
| Positioned into the lingual embrasure of Class II preparation after band placement | wedge |
| Used in Class III and IV restorations | mylar strip |
| palodent-type band and tension ring produce a tight anatomic contact for composite resin materials for class II restorations | sectional matrix |
| matrix system for primary teeth | T-band and spot-welded band |
| medical health hx | includes past medical hx, present physical conditions, allergies, medications, |
| dental health hx | dental hx contains previous dental hx and care |
| progress note | includes date, tooth number, treatment, communication w/patient |
| presence of lactobacilli in the mouth indicates a high intake of | fermentable carbohydrate |
| Mutans streptococci | cause of dental caries along with lactobacilli |
| demineralization | calcium and phosphate dissolve from enamel; loss of minerals |
| remineralization | calcium and phosphate redeposit in previously demineralized areas. |
| lesion develops when caries begins to demineralize the enamel. | insipient caries (first stage of |
| overt or frank lesion (2nd stage of caries formation) | cavitation, the development of a cavity or hole in the tooth |
| strategy for preventive and reparative care for early dental caries that can be used in any dental office | CAMBRACaries management by risk assessment |
| most common form of pathogen transmission | hands |
| the single most important factor in preventing the spread of pathogens and antibiotic resistance in healthcare settings | clean hands |
| aveolitis | pain and swelling resulting from exposed bone associated with disturbance of a blood clot after extraction of a tooth |
| excisional biopsy | involves removal of entire lesion plus adjacent normal tissue |
| exfoliative biopsy | diagnostic procedure in which cells are scraped from a suspect oral lesion for analysis |
| incisional biopsy | section or wedge of suspect oral lesion that is removed for evaluation |
| this is a process where living cells of the jawbone naturally grow around the implanted dental supports | osseointegration |
| implant, titanium implant, endosteal implant | surgically embedded into the jawbone to replace a missing tooth |
| this screws into the jawbone and serves as a support for a denture or an implant crown | abutment |
| the final restoration which is cemented onto the abutment portion of the implant is called | implant crown |
| the entire implant process can take anywhere from | 3 to 9 months |
