Question
Answer
What is a cavity   bacterial infection which causes the dissolution of the tooth mineral content and the disintegration or collapse of the organic matrix  
🗑
What is the prevanlent of the disease   91% of adults experience caries in their lifetime  
🗑
how isthis disease transmissible   human to human by saliva*  
🗑
How is the caries process started   it starts with bioflim  
🗑
Where does biofilm develope   where ever there is #1.fluid, #2.a surface,#3. Bacteria  
🗑
What is biofilm   Microbial communities consisting of hundreds of distinct microorganisms that cooperate with each other to adapt to change in pH or mechanical stress of motion  
🗑
What increases the survival rate of the moroorganism because of the EPS(extracellular polysaccarides)   Biofilm  
🗑
T/F Dental caries is a multifactorial disease process with the oral microbial component being a biofilm   True  
🗑
What happens to oral biofilm at 96 hours/4 days   it can measure to be 1mm thick*  
🗑
What are the plaque formation stages   1. Initial adherence (acquired pellicle) 2. lag phase (Slow bacterial colonization) 3. Rapid Growth 4. Steady state (Mature dental biofilm)  
🗑
What is invovled in the Intial adherence stage   -Supragingival plaque formation precedes subgingival biofilm formation -Saliva bathes the teeth while salivary proteins and mucins cover the tooth and began "A.P." -At 1 hour bacteria attach to "A.P." -Primary colonizers=Gram+cocci  
🗑
What is involved in the lag phase   -Colony of gram+cocci begin to form a community of bacteria -send signals to each other to begen creating water insoluble EPS to create a protective matrix for bioflim  
🗑
What is involved in the rapid Growth phase   -additional bacteria enter the bacterial community forming micro-colonies within the protective matrix -COAGGREGATION=different bacterial species in the matrix and adhere to early colonizer  
🗑
what is involved in the steady state   every species who will live in the biofilm community are present -early colonizers(gram+)slow their growth or become static(retard)  
🗑
Where is the location of the BIOfilm   Teeth represent 25% of the total surface area of the mouth* -oral mucosa specialized mucosa(tongue)75% surface area in the mouth  
🗑
T/F soft tissue acts as reservoir for hard tissue leading to more rapid biofilm formation   True  
🗑
Why is daily mechanical disruption so important   B/C mature dental biofilm is very pathogenic  
🗑
How pathogenic is the biofilm   Disease state for caries more cariogenic bacteria account for 96% of biofilm and pH shift to acidic(below5.5)  
🗑
How does Biofilm switch from healthy to carious biofilm   pH  
🗑
plaque(biofilm)stages   Immature plaque Mature plaque  
🗑
How much force does it take to mechanically remove a 24 hours biofilm   Day1=5.5gm/cm 2 day=7.8gm/cm 3 day=14.0gm/cm  
🗑
Which tooth surfaces develop the most plaque   #1 interproximal surfaces #2 PiTs/occlusal surfaces #3 cervical 1/3 of the tooth  
🗑
what are the cariogenic bacteria that are associated with coronal caries development   Mutans streptococcus lactobacillus  
🗑
What are the characteristics of all cariogenic bacteris   #1 Acidogenic #2 Aciduric #3 capable of forming extra cellular polysaccharides(glucans/fructans) #4 caprophillic anf facultative anaerobes #5ability to adhere to the tooth surface  
🗑
what is the Hydrogen Ion Pump:   allows the cariogenic bacteria to live in a biofilm with an acidic pH -the hydrogen ions pumpedout into the biofilm mass and up up the pH of the biofilm even more  
🗑
How does the bacteria adhere to the tooth   #1 surface appendages(fimbria) #2 calcium bridging #3 Extra cellular polysaccharides(glucans) #4 hydrophilic interactions  
🗑
Caries process   1.host 2. environment 3. bacteria 4.time  
🗑
the caries Imbalance   #1 protective factors #2 pathological factors #3 Disease indicators  
🗑
What are ESP   Complex Sugars  
🗑
cariogenic bacteria + CHO   = ACID+extra-cellular polysacccharide  
🗑
name the types of acids(cariogenic Bateria produce)   lactic acid acetic propionic formic succinic  
🗑
What does plaque acids do   -causes demineralization -demineralization creates a subsurface lesion -Demineralization causes the enamel crystals size to lower and up the inter crystalline space( increase micropores)  
🗑
T/F when thw plaque biofilm favors the demineralization process cavities occur   true  
🗑
T/F when the plaque biofilm favors the rem. process incipient lesions'heal' or decay becomes arrested or dont occur at all   true  
🗑
Dentist estimate   -6 mos to 1 year primary enamel -1-2 years permanent enamel  
🗑
studies demonstrate   4yrs for children age 10-11 7yrs for young adults aged 17-22 6yrs for adults ages 41-51  
🗑
the darker the lesion   the slower the progressing lesion and the more remin/demin cycles  
🗑
the lighter the lesion   the more rapid progressing lesion and the fewer remin/demin  
🗑
