| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Is pulp radiolucent or radiopaque | Radiolucent |
| Is the pdl space radiolucent or radiopaque | Radiolucent |
| Is a periapical abscess radiolucent or radiopaque | Radiolucent |
| Is bone marrow space radiolucent or radiopaque | Radiolucent |
| Is bone loss and defects radiolucent or radiopaque | Radiolucent |
| Are metals and amalgams radiolucent or radiopaque | Radiopaque |
| Is enamel radiolucent or radiopaque | Radiopaque |
| Is Dentin radiolucent or radiopaque | Radiopaque |
| Is compact and cortical bone radiolucent or radiopaque | Radiopaque |
| What are the limitations for xray perio assessment | 2D, buccal bone hides bone loss on lingual, palatal root makes furcation detection difficult, can't see non calcified tissues |
| Anatomy visible on radipgraphs | Alveolar bone, pdl space, cementum |
| Radiograph shows disease activity | False |
| What are the 3 signs of early bone changes on a radiograph | Fuzziness, widening pdl, radiolucent line |
| What is triangulation | Widening of pdl space on mesial/distal of interdental crest caused by bone resorption (funneling) |
| Radiographs are useful for all except | Perio pockets |
| Why do finger like projections that extend from the crystal bone into the interdental bone happen? | Represent reduction of mineralized tissue adjacent to blood vessels channels in alveolar bone loss |
| L.A.S.E.R | Light, amplification, stimulated, emmision of, radiation |
| Characteristics of white visible light | Multiple wave lengtgslengths, non directional, non-focused |
| Wavelengths can be focused, very directional | Collimated |
| Very precise color or wavelength | Monochromatic |
| Wavelengths are superimposed on one another synchronized in phrase | Coherency |
| What is a wavelength | The distance from wave crest to wave crest |
| In general the properties of lasers light are much different from those of natural light. Which of the following is false | Laser light is usually divergent |
| Depending on the specific type of laser, laser energy is emitted in very specific portions of the electromagnetic spectrum . Where in the spectrum do most lasers operate | In both the visible and infrared portions |
| What is a photon | The elemental quantity, or quantum of radiant energy |
| When using a laser power density is | Measure in watts/cm2 |
| Laser power is expressed as | Watts |
| Dental laser beams are conducted by all of the following except | Platinum cable |
