| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 75% of the population has what kind of yeast? | candida albicans |
| Dental caries: | infectious disease that is caused by a demineralization of a tooth surface |
| 4 factors that are necessary for dental caries to occur: | susceptible host, microorganisms, substrate (sucrose), and time |
| Dental plaque: | composed of bacterial cells embedded in intercellular mix, reforms seconds after cleaning |
| Most common caries-conductive bacteria in mouth: | mutans streptococci |
| Periodontal disease: | caused by normal oral microbiotathat have been allowed to accumulate in plaque |
| Ways periodontal disease produces disease: | damage of tissues, inflammation, interference with host mechanisms |
| Types of periodontal disease: | chronic, rapidly progressive, juvenile, prepubertal |
| What are some non cleansing areas of dentition? | pits and fissures, interproximal sites, gingival crevices |
| Pellicle: | when glycoproteins from saliva are absorbed into the tooth surface to a thin layerthat coasts all surfaces exposed to saliva. |
| Calculus or tarter: | when plaque mineralizes forming a hardened material |
| Quorum sensing: | system developed by many bacteria that regulates the expression of certain genes based upon cell population density |
| Mutans streptococci have all three pathogenic properties important for caries formation: | production of acids from carbs, survival at low pH, accumulation on teeth |
| ___________ ________ are thought to be more important in the progression of a carious lesion after other bacteria have initiated the tooth destruction. | Lactobaccillus acidophilus |
| Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis: | associated with plaque accumulation and predisposing factors, such as stress |
| Periodontitis: | when the disease process affects the bone |
| Most important bacterium in causing dental caries is: | Streptococcus mutans |
| What dietary component is the most important in cause of dental caries? | sugars |
| What causes periodontal disease? | plaque biofilm |
| Plaque biofilm has about _____ billion bacteria per gram. | 200 |
| What bacteria is most responsible for causing periodontal disease? | porphyromonas gingivalis |
| Sucrose is converted to what polysaccharide that causes bridging between cells of streptococcus mutans during plaque biofilm formation? | Glucan |
| What periodontal disease is not related to weakened host defenses? | chronic adult periodontitis |
| Inflammation of the tissue in the root canal of tooth is called: | pulpitis |
