牙体牙髓常见考点总结 Presented by Kurtis.D in 2011 Part 1, introduction of endodontics Part 2, dental caries Dental caries: It is a bacteria infected disease and chronic, destructive process causing decalcification of the tooth hard tissue and leading to continued destruction of enamel, dentin or cementum, and cavitation of the tooth. Prevalence rate: It is the number of cases of a specific disease present in a given population at a certain time point. Incidence rate: It is the frequency of developing a particular disease during a given period of time; the numerator is the number of new cases during the specified time period and the denominator is the population at risk during the period. Dental plaque: It is unmineralized bacterial deposite that builds up on the teeth. It consists of adhesive matrix and bacteria. If not removed, it can lead to dental caries or periodontal diseases. Supragingival plaque: It is the dental plaque lies on the tooth surface above gingiva. It is the factor cause dental caries. Subgingival plaque: It is the dental plaque lies on the tooth surface below gingiva. It is the factor cause periodontal disease. Remineralizative therapy: It is a non-surgical treatment of dental caries. It is The reintroduction of complex mineral salts into enamel or cementum, to recover the hardness and arrest or reverse the early caries lesions. Pulpodentinal complex: The pulp and dentin is a biological complex. The nerve, blood vessel and cells can grow into the dentinal tubule and combine pulp and dentine together. When dentine is exposed, stimulation can affect pulp. Smear layer: When dentin is cut or prepared by dental instruments, the layer of debris is called the smear layer. This layer consists of broken-down collagen, hydroxyapatite and bacteria and varies in thickness from about 1-5 microns. Hybrid layer: It is the structure formed in dental hard tissues by demineralization of the surface and sub surface, followed by infiltration of monomers and subsequent polym
