Name the types of external resorption

Inflammatory/cervical/surface/replacement/transient

Explain ppv and npv

PPV is the probability that a patient with a positive test truly has the disease, while NPV is the probability a patient with a negative test truly does not, both heavily influenced by disease prevalence

Beginning

100

what is caries

progressive destruction or decay of teeth or bone, commonly known as tooth decay or cavities. It is a disease caused by bacteria in the mouth that produce acids, which break down tooth enamel and dentin

200

early microbes detected in pulpitis

streptococcus, provotella, Fusobacterium 

300

pain pathway (orders of neurons)

 First-order neuron

• Receptor: Free nerve endings in skin/tissue
• Cell body: Dorsal root ganglion (DRG)
• Synapse: Dorsal horn of spinal cord 

Second-order neuron

• Cell body: Dorsal horn
• Crosses midline in anterior white commissure
• Ascends in spinothalamic tract
• Synapse: VPL nucleus of thalamus

Third-order neuron

• Cell body: VPL thalamus
• Projects to: Primary somatosensory cortex (postcentral gyrus)

400

why are teeth harder to anesthetize when infected?

pH, central sensitization, TTX-R channels

500

Name the bacteria species in AP

Porphyromonas, Treponema, Fusobacterium, Provotella

300

AHA recs for antibiotic prophylaxis, name 3

prosthetic heart valve

previous hx of IE

congenital heart disease

400

How does ACE-I work?

inhibit angiotensin II production - block aldosterone release - less sodium/water reabsorbed- more excreted

500

How does statin work

reduce endogenous synthesis of cholesterol by inhibiting mevalonate formation by inhibiting HMG CoA reductase

Trauma

100

classes of luxations

concussion, subluxation, extrusive, intrusive, lateral, avulsion 

200

Protocol for avulsion

immediate replantation or storage in media, check consciousness, 2 weeks splint, systemic antibiotic, tetanus, monitor pulpal status (immature), RCT in 2 weeks (mature), f/u

300

What is Cvek?

partial/full pulpotomy, VPT, 96% success

400

What key biological feature of the root apex determines the likelihood of revascularization, and why does this significantly reduce the need for immediate root canal therapy?

open apex with a wide apical foramen and incomplete root formation, which allows for ingrowth of new blood vessels and stem cells from the periapical tissues, enabling revascularization and continued root development (apexogenesis)

500

This phenomenon, well described in the trauma literature, explains why replanted teeth stored dry for prolonged periods have a high incidence of ankylosis rather than functional periodontal ligament healing.

What is loss of viable periodontal ligament cells leading to bone replacing the root surface (replacement resorption/ankylosis)?
