Root Assessment
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is the objective of root scaling? | produce a root that is clean, smooth, and hard, making it more acceptable to connective tissue reattachment. |
| Maxillary Incisors (Central and Lateral Incisors) | Single-rooted, moderate to deep proximal, vertical root concavitites. Boulbous crowns creating mesial and distal concavities at the CEJ. Lingual root are more tapered than facial aspect. |
| Maxillary Canines | Single-rooted, proximal root concavities, Distal prominence of crown is at CEJ, Root is long and narrow and lingual aspect is tapered. |
| Maxillary First Premolar | Double rooted with a mesial concavity and is usually bifurcated at the apical third |
| Maxilary Second Premolar | Single rooted with a mesial concavity that isn't as pronounced with the first premolar. |
| Maxillary First Molar | Triple rooted, lingual mesiofacial and distofacial, lingual root is the longest and may have a vertiical depression on the palatal surface. Mesial facial and distal facial root have curvatures that gives them a look of pliers. |
| Maxillary First Molar (Important Note for Test) | Mesial furcation is easily reached form the lingual aspect. |
| Maxillary Second Molar | Triple rooted, roots are more parallel that the first molar, may show partial fusion and furcation crotch is narrower than the first molar. |
| Mandibular Incisors (Central and Lateral Incisors) | Root us straight and converging gradually at the apex. Proximal grooves may be deep giving a double root appearance |
| Mandibular Canines | Conical in shape, slight mesial inclination, May be bifurcated, pronounced proximal concavity may give it a double rooted appearance. |
| Mandibular First Premolar | Facial aspect is more conical in shape |
| Mandibular Second Premolar | single rooted, roots are shorter and more blunt than maxillary premolars |
| Mandibular First Molars | Double rooted, mesial and distal root, distal root is more narrower than the mesial. |
| Mandibular Second Molars | Double rooted and are closer than those of the first molar, mesial root is not as broad as the first molar, furcation is not as wide as the first molar |
| What are common difficult to scale areas? | CEJ, Concavities, furcations, tooth contours at line angles |
