root amputation is
a surgical procedure to remove one or more roots of a mulitrooted tooth.
100
spreaders and pluggers are used to
laterally condense materials when obturating (sealing/filling) the canal.
100
exudate is?
pus
100
most common irrigating solution
sodium hypochlorite
100
the electric pulp tester does...
indicates whether the tooth is vital or nonvital
200
a hemisection is
the surgical removal of one root and the underlying crown.
200
lentulo spirals are used to
spin root canal sealer, cement, into the canal
200
pulpal necrosis is...
death of the pulpal cells, often results from irreversible pulpitis.
200
gutta purcha is... it is used for...
a thermoplastic filling material used to obturate (seal/fill) the root canal
200
the apex finder measures...
the distance to the apex of the tooth and displays the information on a digital readout.
300
one of the most common endo surgical procedures and its definition
apicoectomy - the apex of the root and infection surrounding the area are surgically removed.
300
barbed broaches are used to
remove soft tissue from the pulp canal (extirpate).
300
what are the periapical abscess and fistula?
periapical abscess - localized destruction of tissue and accumulation of exudate in the periapical region fistula - path to the external surface created by the body to drain the abscess.
300
chelating agents do what
enclose or grasp toxic substances and makes it nontoxic
300
this unit of equipment is designed specifically for endo procedures
ultrasonic unit
400
the difference between apexification and apexogenesis
apexification - treatment of the root canal apex in a tooth that is necrotic. Apexogegesis - treating the pulp of a young tooth with an open apex.
400
intracanal instruments are made of
stainless steel and nickel titanium alloy wires.
400
benefits of using a dental dam (4)
tooth isolation improves visibility protects the tooth from saliva and soln' maintains aseptic field
400
absorbent points are used to...
dry canals, place medications, and take cultures of the canal
400
the endo bender bends... (5)
reamers files posts pluggers spreaders
500
the difference in pulpotomy and pulpectomy
pulpotomy - removing the pulp in the coronal portion of the tooth, leaving the pulp in the root canal intact and vital. pulpectomy - removal of all pulpal tissues beginning in the coronal portion of the tooth and terminating 1-3 mm of the apex in the root canal of a tooth.
500
endodontic files are used to... list the three different types of files
enlarge and smooth the canal k-type, hedstrom, and flex files.
500
Reversible pulpitis, irreversible pulpitis, and apical periodontitis are diseases, give the definitions
reversible - pulp is inflamed, but can heal when irritant is removed irreversible - inflammation is in pulpal tissue and can not recover periodontitis - inflammation spreads into the periapical tissues
500
root canal sealers/cements are supplied in five forms, what are they?
powder liquid paste syringe capsule
500
applications of the heating unit (3)
providing heat for vitality testing warming gutta percha for obturation providing heat for bleaching procedures
