The Teeth
loss of tooth structure by a chemical process most frequently on cervical thirds of anteriors
erosion
moderate mobility, greater than 1mm displacement
Class 2 mobility
how fine or burnished calculus feels
rough
crest of bone parallel with a line drawn between CEJs
horizontal bone loss
furcations, decay, close proximity to the roots, tight pockets complicated this procedure
root planing
Population most likely affected by cemental caries
geriatric
palpable vibration or movement of a tooth during occlusal contact
Fremitus
best instrument for root planing
gracey curet
type of radiograph to represent bone height alone the root surface
bitewing
These include healthy sulcus, severe periodontal disease, acute conditions, hypersensitivity
contraindications to root planing
maximum intercuspation or contact of the teeth of the opposing arches
centric occlusion
best diagnostic sign of gingivitis
bleeding
vertical, horizontal, and oblique strokes when root planing
cross hatching
bone level is not parallel with a line joinging the adjacent CEJs
Vertical bone loss
restoring the gingival tissues to health
primary objective of SRP
critical ph belowe which enamel will decalcify
4.5-5.5
Probe can enter the furca but not to pass through
Grade III
how strokes become during RP when the surface becomes smoother
lighter and longer
lead apron is lined with ____mm lead
0.25mm
removal of subg calculus to produce a smooth root surface less likely to attract and retain biofilm and calc
periodontal debridement
wear facets, uneven weat patterns, mobile teeth are examples of this
parafunctional occlusal habits
recession that is V-shaped; may extend though the mucogingival junction
Stillman's cleft
removed in small amounts when SRP
cementum/dentin
exposure time and mA control
# of xrays produced
the degree of instrumentation is the main difference
scaling vs root planing
