What you got goin on?
Spontaneous pain, lingering pain to cold/heat, throbbing, radiating at times. Often no radiographic signs of apical pathosis.
What is Symptomatic IRP
A can of spray used to chill a medium sized cotton ball for pulp testing.
What is Endo Ice
Flex-O hand files are made from this metal?
This material is used along with gutta percha when obturating canals to help ensure an optimum 3D fill.
Gutta percha removal can be aided using this chemical.
What is chloroform
No pain, deep caries involving the pulp chamber. Pulp is vital.
What is Asymptomatic IRP
Patient presents with the chief complaint of pain after drinking hot coffee. This pulpal test should be considered to use for diagnosis. Bonus: how will you do this?
What is heat testing. (System B heat application tip, rubber wheel, isolation and warm liquid)
This file works with a reciprocating action in a rotary handpiece.
What is Wave One
To help fit a slighly loose gutta percha cone, one can clip the end to achieve this feel.
What is tug back
This flap design is often considered best in the anterior region when esthetics is of high consideration and the patient has adequate attached gingiva.
What is Luebke-Ochsenbien flap
Tooth non-responsive to cold or EPT. No pain to percussion or palpation. Clinical evidence of a draining sinus tract. PA image show a tear drop PARL.
What is Pulp necrosis/ chronic apical abscess
The doctor put a device on my tooth and after a while it hurt. He told the assistant a number. What was he doing? Bonus: Are the numbers significant?
What is EPT? Not really. Mainly a documentation note, but may be useful for following pulpal responsiveness after dental trauma.
This treatment turns a nickel-titanium file into a more flexible and stronger file.
This obturation technique utilizes a gutta percha carrier and a warming oven.
What is Gutta Core
When negotiating calcified and curved canals, we should do this with our small files.
What is pre-curve the end
Sharp and occasionally lingering pain to cold. Sharp/quick pain often when eating harder foods. Difficult to localize. No restorations. No radiographic changes. Most often seen in Mn second molars.
What is a cracked tooth.
The doctor could not find what tooth was hurting as I was having pain on the top and bottom. He gave me a shot of anesthetic on the top and the pain didn't go away. Then he gave me a shot on the bottom and the pain finally went away. What the heck was he doing?
What is Diagnostic anesthesia
Once a file has been shaped, using a hand file to appreciate the apical diameter size is called this.
What is apical guaging
Large canals with open apices can often be sealed using this material.
What is MTA or bioceramic cement
This device is about 95% accurate in determining canal length is used correctly.
Heavily restored Mn molar. Patient is asymptomatic. Pulp is vital. Radiopacity seen surrounding the distal root apex.
What is condensing osteitis
The doctor thought I needed a root canal based on tests that she performed but wasn't 100% sure. The radiograph looked normal. I've been dealing with this issue for a long time and was ready to have something done. The doctor started to drill on my tooth without anesthesia and I thought she was nuts. What was she doing?
File diameter of a 20 Flexo-File (.02 taper) at D16 is this.
What is .52mm
Removal of smear layer prior to obturation is often done using this chemical. (bonus points if you can say the words)
What is EDTA
This doctor at HCMC dental is infatuated with zombies.
