This document discusses mechanical plaque control methods. It describes plaque, its formation and identification. Mechanical plaque control involves toothbrushing, dental floss, and interdental cleaning aids. Toothbrushing is the primary method, and the document outlines toothbrush features, materials, and brushing techniques. Powered toothbrushes are also mentioned. Dentifrices assist mechanical plaque removal. Proper plaque control is important for oral and periodontal health.
Dental flossing
Dental flossing is used to remove food and plaque from between teeth that a toothbrush cannot reach. There are different types of floss like waxed or unwaxed. Flossing prevents tooth decay and gum disease but it takes skill and can damage tissues if not done properly. Proper flossing involves using about 40cm of floss to clean between teeth in a sawing motion and sliding it up and down in a C-shape. The ADA recommends flossing once a day before brushing.
Toothbrush
The document discusses toothbrushes, including their history, components, types, proper use, and care. Toothbrushes have existed for nearly 5,000 years, starting as chew sticks, and now come in manual and powered varieties. Key parts are the bristle head and handle, which come in different shapes, patterns, and designs. Toothbrushes should be chosen based on size and replaced every 3-4 months to effectively clean teeth and gums.
Flossing
Dental floss comes in various types such as nylon or silk, some coated with fluoride, and flavored or unflavored. Flossing involves using a piece of floss about 18 inches long by winding it around fingers and rubbing it between teeth and under the gumline to remove plaque and food particles. Proper technique is to apply gentle pressure and change to a clean section of floss regularly. Flossing improves oral hygiene by cleaning interdental spaces and beneath the gumline, preventing cavities, gingivitis, and bad breath.

The Bass method involves placing the brush bristles at a 45 degree angle to the gingiva and moving them in small circular motions around each tooth. The Modified Bass method uses a sweeping motion from cervical to incisal surfaces. Charter's method positions the bristles toward the chewing surface and angles them at 45 degrees to the tooth while vibrating gently. The Physiologic/Smith method follows the natural pathway of food along tooth surfaces and g
Dental Management of Hemophiliac patients
This document provides guidelines for dental management of patients with hemophilia. Key points include:
1. Dentists should screen for bleeding disorders and review family history of bleeding. Laboratory tests can help diagnose disorders.
2. For patients with hemophilia A, treatment involves increasing clotting factor levels through replacement therapy or desmopressin before dental work.
3. Minor procedures can often be done with local measures to control bleeding but extractions require discussion with a hemophilia treatment center and may need prophylactic clotting factor therapy.
Dental plaque
Dental plaque is a biofilm that forms on teeth. It progresses from an initial bacterial coating to a mature biofilm with complex microbial communities. Early plaque is predominantly gram-positive cocci while mature plaque contains more gram-negative rods and anaerobes. Plaque composition changes with periodontal disease, shifting from gram-positive to gram-negative and non-motile to motile organisms. Plaque initiates periodontal diseases through its noxious metabolic byproducts and through stimulating the host immune response, ultimately leading to tissue destruction if left unchecked.
Sucrose as arch criminal of dental caries and dietary studies
Sucrose is regarded as a major cause of dental caries. It is fermented by bacteria in dental plaque, lowering the pH and promoting an environment for acid-producing bacteria. Sucrose also aids in the production of extracellular polysaccharides that allow plaque to stick to teeth in larger quantities. Interventional studies like the Vipeholm study showed that dental caries increased with greater sugar consumption, especially between meals. Substituting xylitol for sucrose resulted in lower caries rates and fewer cariogenic bacteria in the Turku sugar study. Strictly limiting sugars through dietary intervention can reduce dental caries to minimal levels.

Why is oral hygiene so important for good dental health
Periodontal disease and decay are both caused by bacterial plaque. Plaque is a colorless film, which sticks to your teeth at the gumline. Plaque constantly forms on your teeth. By thorough daily brushing and flossing you can remove these germs and help prevent periodontal disease.
How to use dental floss
The document provides detailed instructions for proper dental flossing technique, including how to hold the floss, gently working it between teeth, scrubbing the sides of each tooth both above and below the gum line, changing to a clean section of floss, and rinsing after flossing. It notes that tender or bleeding gums are usually due to inflammation from a lack of effective flossing and can be reduced by following the instructions daily.

Proper brushing and flossing are essential for preventing tooth and gum disease. Brushing should occur for 2 minutes twice per day using small circular motions angled at the gum line to clean both sides of the teeth as well as the tongue. Flossing is important for removing plaque from between teeth. Parents should make dental visits fun for children by avoiding threats or bribes and acting relaxed to promote positive attitudes toward dental health. The first visit will involve an exam, cleaning, and fluoride treatment.
flossing-140214025445-phpapp02
This document discusses dental floss, including what it is made of, different types, and how to properly floss. Dental floss is made of nylon or silk filaments and can be flavored, waxed, or unwaxed. There are different flossing techniques and rules described, such as winding the floss around fingers and rubbing it between teeth using a gentle motion. Flossing regularly is important for oral hygiene as it removes plaque and food particles that a toothbrush cannot reach, helping to prevent gingivitis and bad breath.

Oral health ppt
This document provides guidelines for proper oral hygiene from the American Dental Association. It recommends brushing teeth twice a day using a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste, focusing on all tooth surfaces and the tongue. Flossing daily is also important to remove plaque between teeth that brushing cannot reach. Toothbrushes and floss should be replaced every 3-4 months. In addition to brushing and flossing, mouthwash and regular dental cleanings are recommended for optimal oral health. Signs of potential oral problems that warrant a dental visit are listed.
Oral care
This document provides information on proper oral care techniques. It discusses brushing teeth using gentle strokes at a 45 degree angle, flossing by wrapping floss around fingers and sliding it between teeth, using dental irrigators to clean around gumlines, and applying dental sealants to prevent decay in back teeth. Common questions about bleeding gums when flossing and cleaning between widely spaced teeth are addressed. Tips include brushing each tooth individually, brushing at least twice daily, using a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste, and replacing toothbrushes when bristles spread.
What to Do About Gingivitis
Gingivitis is a common gum disease caused by a buildup of plaque and tartar. It causes swelling, aching and bleeding of the gums. Smoking significantly increases the risk of developing gum disease. To treat gingivitis, one should schedule a professional dental cleaning to remove built up grime, brush teeth twice a day, floss daily, and use mouthwash at a different time than brushing. Maintaining good oral hygiene practices can lead to healthier gums.

Proper Care for the Teeth and Gums
Proper care of the teeth and gums is important for oral health and confidence. Key steps include brushing teeth twice daily for 2-3 minutes with fluoride toothpaste, flossing once a day to remove food from between teeth, and visiting the dentist twice yearly for cleanings and checkups. In addition to daily brushing and flossing, eating a diet with fruits and vegetables rather than sticky sweets can help prevent cavities and keep teeth and gums healthy.
Caring for my TEETH and GUMS
Your teeth vary in shape and size depending on their position within your mouth. These differences allow the teeth to do many different jobs. Teeth help us to chew and digest food. They help us to talk, and to pronounce different sounds clearly. Finally, teeth help to give our face its shape. A healthy smile can be a great asset and because this is so important, it makes sense to give your teeth the best care possible.

Tooth Brushing.pptx
Children under 6 years old require help from an adult when brushing their teeth. The MOI technique, using systematic movements suited to a child's abilities, should be introduced early. As children learn through imitation, they can watch adults brush and play with a children's toothbrush from a young age. Two to three year olds can brush the masticatory surfaces with horizontal movements and later learn circular and up-down motions. The appropriate brushing technique depends on a child's age, with scrubbing recommended for ages 9 and under and Bass for ages 10 to 15. Toothbrushes should be replaced every 8-10 weeks or sooner if bristles are bent.

Dental Implant Reliability Improvement
Dental implants have become a popular tooth replacement option. However, some implants fail within a few years. Researchers are developing new implant surface treatments and designs to improve osseointegration between the implant and jawbone. This could lead to stronger bonding and more reliable implants that last longer.
Dental Radiography Safety
The document discusses dental radiography safety. It provides guidelines for digital radiography, including that it requires 50-80% less radiation than film systems. It outlines safety procedures for dental radiography, such as shielding the patient and staff with lead aprons, limiting radiation exposure to the minimum needed for diagnosis, and ensuring the operator stands at least six feet from the radiation beam. Regulations in Massachusetts require radiation badges for those who operate dental radiographic systems.
Nitrous Oxide Sedation in Pediatric Dentistry
Nitrous oxide is commonly used in pediatric dentistry to reduce anxiety and increase pain tolerance. It works by inducing analgesia while keeping the patient conscious. When administered properly via scavenging equipment and oxygen flush, it can significantly decrease fear over multiple sessions. However, chronic exposure to nitrous oxide poses health risks, so scavenging and ventilation are important to maintain safe ambient levels below recommended limits. Complications are rare when administered carefully by trained professionals according to established guidelines.
Primary angioplasty
The document discusses strategies for early treatment of acute myocardial infarction. It provides evidence that pre-hospital thrombolytic therapy can significantly reduce mortality rates compared to in-hospital thrombolytic therapy by reducing treatment delays. Studies show administering thrombolysis within 30-60 minutes of symptoms onset can save 11-60 lives per 1000 patients. Combined strategies using both pre-hospital thrombolysis and immediate angioplasty have demonstrated high rates of coronary reperfusion and good long-term outcomes.
Emergency In Dentistry Part 1
The document outlines the basic steps of life support (BLS) including assessment, airway management, breathing, circulation, and defibrillation.
Step 1 involves checking for unresponsiveness and calling for help. Step 2 is opening the airway and checking breathing, providing positive pressure ventilation if needed.
Step 3 involves assessing circulation by feeling the carotid pulse and performing chest compressions at a rate of 100 per minute with a compression to ventilation ratio of 15:2 if no pulse is detected.
Foreign object removal techniques like abdominal thrusts and finger sweeps are described. Oxygen therapy, airway devices, endotracheal intubation and the emergency cart are also summarized.

This document discusses Invisalign orthodontic treatment compared to traditional braces. It provides information on what Invisalign is, its advantages like aesthetics and comfort, and disadvantages like limited control over tooth movement. Two studies on Invisalign outcomes are summarized, finding limited evidence due to small sample sizes and high dropout rates. A third study directly compared Invisalign and braces treatment, finding Invisalign scored lower on post-treatment evaluation and had shorter treatment times but less ideal occlusions. In conclusion, Invisalign may not achieve as satisfactory results as braces for all patients.
Face Eye Trauma
This document provides information on maxillofacial, ophthalmic, dental, and neck trauma. It discusses the anatomy and injuries related to the face, eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and neck. Some key points include: facial bone fractures can interfere with breathing; LeFort fractures are specially named facial fractures; blows to the eye can cause orbital fractures; dental trauma is common and broken teeth may be aspirated; epistaxis is a common nasal injury; and neck injuries require careful management of the airway. Proper management prioritizes the ABCs and considers risks such as bleeding, foreign bodies, and spinal motion restriction.
Dental Caries
The document defines dental caries as a disease caused by bacteria in the mouth that ferment dietary carbohydrates, producing acid that demineralizes tooth enamel and destroys tooth structure. The major factors contributing to dental caries are certain bacteria like Streptococcus mutans; dental plaque that allows bacteria to adhere to teeth; saliva, which can increase the cariogenic effect while also helping to clean teeth; and consumption of fermentable carbohydrates like sugars, which feed the bacteria. The microbiology section notes that the main bacteria involved are streptococci and lactobacilli, while other bacteria like actinomyces may also play a role.

This document summarizes recent evidence from clinical trials on the treatment of hypertension, with a focus on patients with type 2 diabetes. It discusses trials comparing different classes of antihypertensive drugs and levels of blood pressure control. The evidence suggests that ACE inhibitors may provide greater benefits for diabetic patients compared to other drugs, reducing cardiovascular events and slowing kidney and eye disease progression. Intensive blood pressure control is also supported, though some calcium channel blockers may increase cardiovascular risk in diabetes. Ongoing long-term safety documentation is still needed for many antihypertensive agents.

This document describes a case report of a 17-year-old girl who developed subcutaneous emphysema in her face and neck following a complicated tooth extraction. During the extraction, the tooth crown broke and an air-turbine drill had to be used. She experienced sudden swelling and pressure. Examination found swelling and crepitus without tenderness. X-rays confirmed subcutaneous emphysema in the neck. She was treated with oxygen, fluids, and antibiotics and recovered fully within 5 days. The case illustrates that subcutaneous emphysema is a rare but possible complication of dental procedures that practitioners should be aware of.
Psychology in Dentistry
The document discusses the role of psychology in dentistry. It notes that dental students are bright and motivated but have different learning styles than memorization. It also discusses the importance of psychology skills like communication, managing anxiety and pain, and working with special patient populations. The challenges are that dental curricula are technique focused and psychology is not always seen as practical. Potential solutions involve more collaborative relationships between dentistry and psychology to shift to a systems-based, integrated curriculum focused on the whole patient.

Long QT Syndrome is a genetic disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval on electrocardiogram that can cause dangerous arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. Symptoms include unexplained fainting, seizures, or sudden death, especially with exercise or emotions. Treatment involves beta blockers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators, or left stellate ganglionectomy depending on risk level and genotype. Ongoing research seeks to better understand genotype-phenotype relationships and develop mutation-specific therapies.
Dental Care of the Future: Part I
The document discusses the changing paradigm in dental care from the nonspecific plaque hypothesis (NSPH) to the specific plaque hypothesis (SPH). It summarizes the key differences between the two approaches. The NSPH assumed all plaque was equally pathogenic, while more recent evidence shows only certain plaque bacteria cause infections. The SPH recognizes healthy and infected plaque can be differentiated microbiologically, enabling more targeted treatment of the infection-causing bacteria.

The document also provides an introduction to epidemiology, including its nature, contributions to dentistry, and examples like the 1854 London cholera epidemic and fluoride/dental caries relationship.
Preventive Dentistry Lecture Cde Course
This document summarizes a continued care model for pediatric preventive dentistry. It discusses key factors in caries prevention like oral hygiene, diet, fluoride therapy, and fissure sealants. It outlines a model where children are classified based on their risk level and receive health promotion materials every 6 weeks. The goal is to reward cavity-free children with a "No Cavity Club" membership and cash value they can use at stores. The model aims to increase awareness, motivate healthy behaviors, and invest in children's oral health long-term.
Diabetes Mellitus patients in dental management
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by relative or absolute insulin deficiency that affects 6% of the US population. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 is characterized by autoimmune destruction of insulin-producing cells and requires insulin treatment; type 2 is more common and results from impaired insulin function and insulin resistance. Without proper glucose control, diabetes can lead to serious long-term complications affecting many organ systems like the eyes, kidneys, heart, and nerves. Dental professionals need to consider a patient's medical history and glycemic control to minimize risks during treatment and manage emergencies like hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia.
Minimal Intervention Dentistry – The Challenge for Materials
The document discusses minimal intervention dentistry, which takes a medical approach to treating tooth decay rather than a surgical approach. It focuses on retaining tooth structure by remineralizing early lesions and using preventive measures and minimally invasive surgery. This approach makes significant demands on dental materials, which must adhere well, release fluoride and other minerals, and be easily repairable. Minimal intervention dentistry is advocated as the future approach because it is more biological, less traumatic for patients, and cost effective compared to more extensive surgical treatments.
ANATOMY of TEETH 2 1. Anatomy of a tooth. a. Anatomical crown ...
The document discusses the anatomy of teeth. It describes the different parts of a tooth including the anatomical crown, clinical crown, root, and apex. It outlines the four main tissues that make up teeth: enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp. Enamel covers the crown and is the hardest material in the body. Dentin makes up most of the tooth and is covered by enamel and cementum. Cementum covers the root and anchors the tooth. The pulp contains blood vessels and nerves. The document also discusses the periodontium, which includes the alveolar bone socket, periodontal ligaments that connect the tooth to bone, and surrounding gingiva.
Dental Anatomy
The document discusses dental anatomy terminology. It describes the maxilla and mandible bones that hold teeth. There are usually 20 primary or deciduous teeth that are replaced over 2.5 years by 32 permanent teeth over 20 years. Teeth have a crown above the gumline made of enamel and a root below made of cementum. Teeth also have dentin, pulp chambers containing nerves and blood vessels, and surfaces like facial, lingual, occlusal, and proximal.
Restorative and Esthetic Dentistry
1. Restorative and esthetic dentistry involves treating patients' general dental needs through procedures like fillings, replacing failed restorations, and addressing tooth discoloration or spacing issues.
2. Cavity preparation involves initially outlining and establishing resistance and retention forms, then removing any remaining decay or material and adding additional retention features.
3. Common types of dental fillings include Class I-V restorations to address decay in different areas of teeth. More complex procedures include using retention pins or intermediate restorations.
