ID of Caries, Resto, Calculus
The area where decay is most difficult to diagnose with radiographs alone
Direct buccal or lingual
OR incipient occlusal
Why is the parallel technique of exposing radiographs preferred to bisecting?
Dimensional distortion
Diffuse calcification of the pulp chamber associated with aging
Pulpal Sclerosis
Hypodontia is associated with dwarfism and downs syndrome. What other condition is also associated with hypodontia?
Microdontia
The most common location of an enamel pearl
furcations....
and can they be removed by a hygienist?
NO!!!
This type of carious lesion occurs adjacent to a restoration
Recurrent decay
This radiograph shows more of the surrounding bone and structures than its counterpart... hint: caries detection
Vertical BWX
The apical region of a tooth appears blunted
External root resorption
Dens Invaginatus is most commonly located in what location?
Maxillary lateral incisors
This condition invloves the pulp chamber, pulp canals and surrounding dentin. One possible cause can be trauma.
Internal resorption
This radiolucent artifact appears as a collar between the CEJ and alveolar bone
cervical burnout
This ADA case type is associated with 20-50% bone loss and can include furcation involvement
ADA Class III
Moderate
The most common periapical radiopacity in adults... is also most commonly located in the mandibular molar/premolar region
Condensing osteitis or Focal Sclerosing Osteomyelitis
The 2 most common supernumerary teeth in the oral cavity?
Mesiodens and Distomolar
When dividing the body sagitally, what does that mean?
Divide the body into right and left sides. Midline through the body
This type of decay extends more that half-way through enamel but does not involve the DEJ
Moderate interproximal caries
This structure is used as a reference point for measuring recession and for determining bone levels for patients
CEJ
A periodontal extension of pulpal infection
Periodontal-Endodontic Lesion
This abnormality is associated when 2 tooth germs joint together to form a single tooth
Fusion
Localized collection of pus around the apex of a non-vital tooth, resulting in pulpal necrosis
Periapical abscess
Decay that extends to or through the DEJ and into dentin, but does not extend into dentin more than half the distance of the pulp
Advanced interproximal caries
Tobacco use, defective restorations, and calculus are contributors to this
Periodontal disease
This disease includes a punched-out radiolucent lesion surrounding roots of one or multiple teeth. Chemo and surgical excision is the treatment
Langerhans cell disease
Another name for Cemental hyperplasia
Hypercementosis
This is associated with normal shedding of the primary dentition
Phsyiologic resorption
