endodontics
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| endodontia | (within the tooth) the branch on dentistry concerned with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases of the dental pulp and its surrounding |
| periradicular | around the root |
| pulpitis | inflaned pulpal condition |
| necrotic | dead; non-vital |
| objective signs | conditions observed by someone other than the patient |
| hyperextension | (over movement) a condition in which the tooth arises out of the socket |
| putrefaction | (decaying animal matter) an unpleasant odor |
| subjective symptoms | conditions as described by the patient |
| hypersensitivity | over sensitive or abnormal reaction to stumulus |
| pulpalgia | inner tooth pain |
| palpation | application of finger pressure to body tissues, including gingiva |
| percussion | (tapping of body tissue, tooth) usually done by tapping a dental mirror handle on an affected tooth and comparing the sensation to tapping on a healthy tooth |
| mobility | (capable of movement) movement of a tooth in its socket during outside force or application of pressure |
| transillumination | (passage of light through object/tissue) a light refraction test to reveal fractured tooth tissue |
| thermal | (pertaining to temp) pulp sensitivity test with reaction to application of hear and/or cold to tooth surface |
| anesthesia | numbing the specific root or nerve ending to dissipate pain |
| direct dentin stimulation | scratching the exposed dentin with an explorer; the presence of pain indicates inflamed or irritated pulp tissue |
| electric pulp testing | applying an electrical current on the enamel surface of the tooth to register the tooth's pulpal sensitivity and presence of irritability |
| radiograph | x-ray examination and other technology such as digital radiometric analysis |
| periodontitis | (around; tooth) a sharp, painful inflammation of tissues around an affected tooth |
| abscess | (local pus infection) an infection that may be an acute or chronic apical abcess |
| suppurative | producing, or generating pus |
| pericementitis | (around; cementuis) inflammation and necrosis of alveoli of the tooth |
| cyst | abnormal, closely walled fluid or exudates-filled sac in or around periapical tissues |
| cellulitis | inflammation of cellular or connective tissue |
| osteomyelitis | an inflammation of the bone and bone marrow, usually cause by bacterial infection |
| pulpotomy | partial excision of the dental pulp |
| pulpectomy | surgical removal of pulp from the tooth, also known as root canal treatment |
| apicoectomy | surgical amputation of a root apex |
| anesthesia | local injection to relieve pain occurring during the procedure |
| isolation | of the operative area; accomplished to provide saftey and to assure an aseptic site |
| aseptic | without disease |
| extirpation | (to root out) removing the pulpal tissue after the pulpal opening |
| debridement | (removal of foreign or decayed matter) removing necrotic pulpal tissue and cleaning out the area |
| irrigation and cleansing | using chemicals and instruments to remove tissue dust and material matter from the pulp and pulp canals |
| obturation | (to close or stop up) filling and closing the canal area. |
| retrograde | (backward step)process of filling the canal begining from the apex of the tooth to the pulp |
| restoration | returning the tooth to normal function and purpose |
| dental dam material | thin sheet of latex or non-latex rubber, that varies in thickness, color and size |
| dental dam frame | device used to hold material in place; may be metal or plastic, rigid or adjustable |
| dental dam punch | device used to place selected holes in the dam material for isolating a tooth or teeth |
| dental dam forceps | hand device used to transport and place clamps or retainers around the selected tooth |
| rubber dam stamp and pad | marking stamper and pad devices used to indicate alignment spots for puncturing the material with the punch |
| dental dam clamp | retaining device used to hold the material around the tooth; may be metal or resin and vary in size, shape, and style |
| dental dam ligature | material used to hold and secure the dam material in the mouth; can be dental floss, latex stabilizing cord, or a small piece of dental dam |
| luer-loc syringe | a barrel-type syringe with piston force plunger, used to inject fluids into the cavity |
| gutta-percha points | tapered points made of a thermoplastic compound; similar in size to silver points, or endodontic instruments, and used to fill the root canal |
| silver points | tapered silver points comparable in size to files and reamers; used to fill canals |
| cement pastes and fillers | zinc oxide and eugenol mixes and commercial materials; used to cement points in canal |
| chemicals | chemical action used in conjunction with operator treatment |
| biomechanical action | result from a chemical action |
| chelator | (chemical ion softener) used to soften tissues |
| desiccant | (dry up, remove) methanol or ethanol alcohol, used to dry the area or clear away other chemical traces |
| medicament | (medicine or remedy) used for antimicrobial action, to prevent pain, and to neutralize the pulpal area |
| curettage | (scraping of cavity) scraping of the apical area; may be necessary to remove necrotic tissue |
| apicoetomy | a procedure that may be necessary to remove the root apex, particularly where there is a radicular cyst involvement of the affected tooth |
| root amputation | (surgical removal of body part, root) separating and removing molar roots of an affected tooth at the junction into the crown |
| root hemisection | (cutting tissue or organ in half) surgical division of a multi-rooted tooth that may be performed in a lengthwise manner |
| bicuspidization | surgical division of a tooth retaining both sides |
| traumatized | (wounded) teeth with cariety of pulp injuries |
| luxation | (dislocation) tooth movement that may be classified in four ways |
| concussion | (shaken violently) tooth loosened as a result of a blow; usually recovery occurs with minimal attention |
| subluxation | (under displacement) tooth partially dislocated; may evidence bleeding but require only minor attention |
| lateral luxation | tooth may be partially displaced with the root apex tilted forward |
| extruded luxation | (pushed out of normal position) tooth may be forced partially out of its socket |
| avulsion replantation | (forced or torn away) teeth that have been accidentally lost |
| fracture | breakage; may be a broken cusp, broken crown, broken root, or split tooth |
| replantation | replacing an avulsed tooth in its tooth socket |
| transplantation | (across, plant) transfer of a tooth from one alveolar socket to another |
| autogenous | (self origin) moving a tooth from one position in the oral cavity to another area in the same cavity |
| homogeneous | (same origin) transferring and inserting a tooth from one patient to another |
| heterogenous | (other origin) transfer from one species to another |
| implantation | (into place) placing titanium metal extensions into the tooth root |
