Describe the clinical procedure shown in the image sequence for correcting diastemas.

[Assistant] The image sequence demonstrates the clinical process of closing diastemas (gaps) between maxillary anterior teeth using composite resin augmentation. Panel A shows the initial presentation with visible gaps. Panel B shows the teeth prepared for the procedure. Panel C provides a close-up of the tooth surface preparation. Panel D shows the application of the composite material, and Panel E shows the final esthetic result after the diastemas have been closed and the teeth contoured.

e cannot be used. The strip is then held (with the index finger) on the lingual aspect of the tooth to be restored, while the facial end is reflected for access. A light-cured composite is used for the restoration. After the resinbonding agent is applied, the composite material is inserted with a hand instrument (see Fig. 15-15, G). Careful attention is given to pressing the material lingually to ensure confluence with the lingual surface. The matrix is then gently closed facially, beginning with the gingival aspect (see Fig. 15-15, H). Care must be taken not to pull the strip too tightly, because the resulting restoration may be undercontoured faciolingually or mesiodistally or both. The light-cured composite material is polymerized with the light from both facial and lingual directions for a minimum of 20 seconds from each direction for a total of 40 seconds (see Fig. 15-15, f). Initially it is better to overcontour the first restoration slightly to facilitate finishing it to an idea

What are the steps shown in this series of images for a Class III cavity preparation?

[Assistant] The images illustrate the final stages of a Class III cavity preparation, specifically focusing on the development of secondary retention forms. This includes using a small round bur (such as a No. 1/4) to create an incisal retention cove at the axiofacioincisal point angle and a gingival retention groove along the axiogingival line angle to ensure the restoration is securely retained.

rection of the gingival groove is slightly more gingival than axial (and the direction of an incisal [i.e., occlusal] groove would be slightly more incisal [i.e., occlusal] than axial) (Fig. 18-13; see also Fig. 18-8).

Alternatively, if less retention form is needed, two gingival coves may be used, as opposed to a continuous groove. One each may be placed in the axiogingivofacial and axiogingivolingual point angles. The diameter of the bur is 0.5 mm, and the depth of the groove should be half this diameter, or 0.25 mm. (See the location and depthwise direction of the groove, where the gingival wall is partially of enamel, in Fig. 8-18.) If the axiogingival line angle is ideally located, directing the groove depthwise (as described) should not undermine the enamel. When preparing a retention groove on the root surface, the angle of cutting is more gingival, resulting in the distance from the gingival cavosurface margin to th

What does this scanning electron micrograph of dentin show regarding the dentinal tubules?

[Assistant] This scanning electron micrograph shows a fractured cross-section of dentin. It illustrates various degrees of closure of the dentinal tubule lumens, ranging from complete obliteration to the presence of a minute lumen in some tubules.

ly sporadic in a dentinal tubule but gradually the tubule becomes filled with a fine meshwork of crystals (Fig. 5.24). Gradually, the tubule lumen is obliterated with mineral, which appears very much like the peritubular dentin (Fig. 5.25). The refractive indices of dentin in which the tubules are occluded are equalized, and such areas become transparent . Transparent or sclerotic dentin can be observed in the teeth of elderly people, especially in the roots (Fig. 5.26). Sclerotic dentin may also be found under slowly progressing caries (Fig. 5.27). Sclerosis reduces the permeability of the dentin and may help prolong pulp vitality. Mineral density is greater in this area of dentin, as shown both by radiography and permeability studies. The hardness of sclerotic dentin varied, those formed as a result of aging were harder than those found below carious lesions.

Though the sclerotic dentin was harder than normal dentin, its elastic properties were not altered, but its fracture toughnes

It shows large central nerve trunks (represented by dark lines) and blood vessels (represented by light lines) running through the pulp core. At the periphery of the pulp, moving from the dentin inward, the layers are organized as follows: the odontoblast layer, the cell-free zone, and the cell-rich zone. Small nerves are also depicted in association with the blood vessels.

The pulp tissue of the third molars may serve as a suitable source of stem cells for future stem cell based therapies as they are found to be viable after cryopreservation.

## Blood vessels

The pulp organ is extensively vascularized. It is known that the blood vessels of both the pulp and the periodontium arise from the inferior or superior alveolar artery and also drain by the same veins in both the mandibular and maxillary regions. The communication of the vessels of the pulp with the periodontium, in addition to the apical connections, is further enhanced by connections through the accessory canals. These relationships are of considerable clinical significance in the event of a potential pathologic condition in either the periodontium or the pulp, because the infection has a potential to spread through the accessory and apical canals. Although branches of the alveolar arteries supply both the tooth and its supporting tissues, those periodontal vessels entering the pulp change thei

is formed of dense connective tissue. It contains the oral parts of the vestigial nasopalatine ducts. They are blind ducts of varying length lined by simple or pseudostratified columnar epithelium, rich in goblet cells. Small mucous glands open into the lumen of the ducts. These ducts sometimes become cystic in humans. Frequently the ducts are surrounded by small, irregular islands of hyaline cartilage, which are the vestigial extensions of the paraseptal cartilages. In most mammals the nasopalatine ducts are patent and, together with Jacobson's organ, are considered as auxiliary olfactory sense organs. Jacobson's organ (the vomeronasal organ) is a small ellipsoid (cigar-shaped) structure lined with olfactory epithelium that extends from the nose to the oral cavity. In humans, Jacobson's organ is apparent in the twelfth to fifteenth fetal week, after which it undergoes involution. In humans cartilage is sometimes found in the anterior parts of the papilla.

What are the five vesicular protein secretory pathways depicted in this diagram of a parotid acinar cell?

[Assistant] The diagram illustrates five vesicular protein secretory pathways in a parotid acinar cell: 1) the storage granule pathway (the main pathway), 2) the constitutive-like pathway, 3) the constitutive pathway to the apical membrane, 4) the constitutive pathway to the basolateral membrane, and 5) the transcytosis pathway from the basolateral to the apical membrane.

__lib_book_Dental Anatomy _ Oral Histology_ Orban_s Oral Histology _ Embryology by Kumar_ G S 13th Ed/img_0337.png

The mature granule stored at the apex of the cell is emptied into the lumen by exocytosis. This process involves the membrane of the granule to fuse with the plasma membrane of the cell at the lumen. This process prevents the loss of cell cytoplasm. Sometimes during rapid secretion a chain of granules may be released in the form of a string of pearls. This is called compound exocytosis. The serous cells devote 80% of its capacity in the production of zymogen granules but there are other activities also happening in the cell depicted by the other cell granules (Fig. 11.4).

True or unattached ribosomes are seen which synthesize nonsecretory cellular proteins. A good number of mitochondria are seen in relation with RER and Golgi apparatus.

## Eruptive phase

During the eruptive phase of physiologic tooth movement, significant developmental events occur that are associated with eruptive tooth movement. They include the formation of the roots, the periodontal ligament, and the dentogingival junction.

Root formation is initiated by growth of Hertwig's epithelial root sheath, which initiates the differentiation of odontoblasts from the dental papilla. The odontoblasts then form root dentin, bringing about an overall increase in length of the tooth that is largely accommodated by eruptive tooth movement, which begins at approximately the same time as root formation is initiated. Shortly after the onset of root formation cementum, periodontal ligament, and the bone lining the crypt wall are formed (see Chapter 8). In addition, a number of structural changes are seen within the periodontal ligament, which could be responsible for tooth movement. Fibroblasts of the periodontal ligament possess as part of their cytoskeleton inte

## DEFINITION

The human dentition, like those of most mammals, consists of two generations. The first generation is known as the deciduous (primary) dentition and the second as the permanent (secondary) dentition. The necessity for two dentitions exists because infant jaws are small and the size and number of teeth they can support is limited. Since teeth, once formed, cannot increase in size, a second dentition, consisting of larger and more teeth, is required for the larger jaws of the adult. The physiologic process resulting in the elimination of the deciduous dentition is called shedding or exfoliation .

The shedding of deciduous teeth is the result of progressive resorption o

## MICROSCOPIC FEATURES

The maxillary sinus is lined by a mucosa which is firmly bound to the underlying periosteum (Figs. 16.5 and 16.6). The epithelium, which is pseudostratified, columnar, and ciliated, is derived from the olfactory epithelium of the middle nasal meatus and therefore undergoes the same pattern of differentiation as does the respiratory segment of the nasal epithelium proper. The most numerous cellular type in the maxillary sinus epithelium is the columnar ciliated cell. In addition, there are basal cells, columnar nonciliated cells, and mucus-producing, flask-shaped secretory goblet cells (Figs. 16.6 and 16.7). Ultrastructurally a ciliated cell encloses the nucleus and an electron-lucent cytoplasm with numerous mitochondria and enzyme-containing organelles. The basal b

Proteoglycans are formed of a protein core to which a large number of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) chains composed of repeating disaccharide units consisting of hexosamine and uronic acid is attached. The acidic nature of the GAG is attributed to its carboxyl or sulfated groups. The GAGs may be unsulfated (hyaluronic acid) or sulfated (chondroitin sulfates, keratan sulfates, and heparan sulfates) . Heparin, a highly sulfated GAG, is secreted by connective tissue mast cells. Hyaluronic acid is synthesized as a very large, free, unsulfated GAG that does not require a protein core and differs from chondroitin sulfates in having acetyl glucosamines instead of acetyl galactosamines as its constituent. Hyaluronic acid binds proteoglycan molecules along its length to form large proteoglycan polymers ( aggregating proteoglycan ).

[Assistant] This light micrograph shows the early development of a mandibular first molar in a day 16 mouse embryo. The labeled structures are: OE (oral epithelium), DL (dental lamina), E (epithelial enamel organ), and M (dental papilla mesenchyme). The dental lamina connects the developing tooth germ to the oral epithelium, while the enamel organ surrounds the condensed dental papilla mesenchyme.

Several immunohistochemical studies mapping distribution of basement membrane components such as Type IV collagen, laminin, proteoglycans, and fibronectin during tooth development have shown close association of these proteins with different stages of cell differentiation and matrix secretion (Figs. 17.9 and 17.10). Disappearance of type III collagen and confinement of fibronectin surrounding preodontoblasts to the epitheliomesenchymal junction after the polarization of odontoblasts during tooth development are other interesting observations emphasizing the significance of these proteins in the regulation of the complex developmental changes occurring in the tooth anlage.

What does this series of panoramic radiographs illustrate regarding dental development?

[Assistant] This series of panoramic radiographs (A-G) illustrates the progression of dental development, specifically the transition from the mixed dentition stage to the permanent dentition stage. It shows the sequential exfoliation of primary teeth, the eruption of permanent successors, and the eventual establishment of a full permanent dentition.

## MIXED DENTITION STAGE (6-12 YEARS)

It is a transition stage when primary teeth are exfoliated in a sequential manner, followed by the eruption of their permanent successors. In the first transitional period , eruption of permanent 1st molars and replacement of primary incisors by the permanent incisors occur. The second transitional period involves replacement of the primary molars and canines by the permanent premolars and canines respectively, and emergence of second permanent molars. Figure 3.9B shows mixed dentition period.

Provide a summary of the anatomical landmarks of the maxillary canine based on the provided flow chart.

[Assistant] The maxillary canine is composed of a crown and a single, strong root with one pulp canal. The crown develops from four lobes (three labial and one lingual). Key anatomical features include a long, pointed cusp, a prominent cingulum, and distinct cusp ridges where the distal ridge is longer than the mesial. The lingual surface contains a lingual ridge that can divide the lingual fossa into two smaller fossae (mesial and distal). Additionally, newly erupted teeth may exhibit mesiolabial and distolabial developmental grooves.

- In the maxillary arch, the permanent canines erupt after the eruption of one or both the premolars. Hence, if space is not maintained until their eruption the maxillary permanent canines often erupt labially out of the arch causing malocclusion ( Fig. 9.12B ).
- Canine guidance is important in establishment of occlusion.
- Maxillary permanent canine to mandibular canine relationship is observed for classifying malocclusions especially when the 1st molars are missing.
- Inter-canine distance is often used as a gender trait in dental anthropology.
- Maxillary permanent canines provide good support when utilized as abutments in prosthetic replacement of missing teeth.
- Deep concavity on the maxilla, posterior to the canine eminence is called canine fossa. During surgical procedures, the maxillary sinus is often entered by an incision through canine fossa as the wall of the sinus is thin there

Because the lingual cusp is not as long as the buccal cusp, the tips of both cusps, with their mesial and distal slopes, may be seen from the lingual aspect.

The lingual portion of the root, or the lingual portion of the lingual root if two roots are present, is smooth and convex at all points. The apex of the lingual root of a tworoot specimen tends to be more blunt than the buccal root apex.

## Mesial Aspect

The mesial aspect of the crown of the maxillary first premolar is also roughly trapezoidal (see Figures 9-1, 9-4, 9-7, 9-8, and 9-10). However, the longest of the uneven sides is toward the cervical portion and the shortest is toward the occlusal portion (see Figure 4-16, E ).

What do the diagrams in Figure 16-27 illustrate regarding dental occlusion?

[Assistant] Figure 16-27 illustrates idealized cusp-fossa relationships in dental occlusion. Diagram A shows a mesiolingual cusp of a maxillary molar occluding within the central fossa of a mandibular molar, representing a stable contact. Diagram B illustrates a concept of occlusion where supporting cusps are positioned to occlude within the fossae of opposing teeth.

__lib_book_Dental Anatomy _ Oral Histology_ Wheeler_s Dental Anatomy_ Physiology _ Occlusion by Nelson_ S J 9th Ed/img_0488.png

Lingual views of the occlusal relations with the teeth in centric occlusion (Figure 16-30) show the intercuspation of lingual cusps and how far the maxillary teeth occlude laterally to the lingual cusps of the mandibular arch (Figure 16-31).

Figures and legends featuring landmarks on teeth are repeated here for use as a ready reference for identifying occlusal contacts (Figures 16-32 through 16-35).

e other purposes. These include protecting the pulp from irritating materials, such as acids, or serving as insulating layers under metal restorations. Metals conduct hot and cold much more quickly than dentin and enamel. Using a base or liner under a metal restoration (between the pulp and the fi lling) can reduce or eliminate sensitivity to cold and hot foods and beverages (Fig. 1.9). The term base implies a degree of strength and thermal insulation, whereas the term liner does not. Historically, bases and liners were distinct groups, but now much overlap exists. The use of both terms best describes the function of these materials. A liner would be a relatively thin layer of material painted on to protect the underlying dentin from chemical irritation. A base has greater bulk, which serves to restore part of the missing tooth structure and to provide thermal insulation.

What does this clinical photograph show regarding the appearance of teeth under ultraviolet light?

[Assistant] This clinical photograph shows the fluorescence of teeth when exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light. Under such lighting conditions, natural tooth structures exhibit fluorescence, causing them to appear bright, while surrounding tissues like the lips appear dark. This property is relevant in dentistry for shade selection and evaluating the optical properties of restorative materials, as the appearance of an object depends on the nature of the light source and its interaction with the material.

Explain the concept illustrated in this diagram regarding dental restorations.

[Assistant] This diagram illustrates the importance of matching the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion (CTE) between a metal framework and a ceramic coping in dental restorations. When the CTE values are similar, the materials expand and contract at comparable rates during temperature changes, maintaining a stable bond. However, when the CTE values are dissimilar, the difference in thermal expansion leads to stress at the interface, which can result in debonding or separation of the ceramic from the metal framework.

T is is also called thermoelastic NiTi . It exhibits a thermally induced SME. T ese wires are fl exible and easily inserted into the brackets. T ese distorted wires are activated by the warmth of the oral cavity and return to their original shape. T is is the longawaited alloy that Dr. Andreasen considered ideal for use in orthodontics (Fig. 33.8).

## ADVANTAGES

1. NiTi wires have excellent resiliency. T is means that they can be easily tied even to the most malaligned tooth without getting permanently deformed.
2. T ey have a very good springback property (Fig. 33.9). So frequent activations of the wire are not needed, i.e., there is no need to change the wire or activate it at every appointment. One wire can work for a longer range and a longer period of time.
3. T ey have a low load defl ection rate. Clinically, this means that whether a tooth is a little out of arch or much out of alignment, when the wire is ti

What is the chemical structure shown in the image, and what are its key characteristics as a dental irrigant?

[Assistant] The image shows the chemical structure of chlorhexidine, a synthetic cationic bisguanide. It consists of two symmetrical 4-chlorophenyl rings and two bisguanide groups connected by a central hexamethylene chain. As a dental irrigant, chlorhexidine is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent with good substantivity, low surface tension, and is relatively nontoxic. It does not possess tissue-dissolving ability or remove the smear layer.

On the basis of their action, irrigants are of various types. T ese are shown in Figure 34.1.

What information can be found on the packaging label of a surgical suture?

[Assistant] The packaging label of a surgical suture provides essential information for clinical use, including the brand name (e.g., Vicryl), the material composition (e.g., braided coated polyglactin 910), the suture size (e.g., 3-0), the absorbability (absorbable/synthetic), and specific details about the attached needle, such as its size, shape, and point type (e.g., 22 mm 1/2 circle cutting).

__lib_book_Dental Materials_ Materials Used in Dentistry by Mahalaxmi_ S/img_0700.png

Suture materials can be classifi ed based on characteristics such as the origin of the material, its disintegrating property, its size, and its structure. Suture materials can be categorized based on the following factors:

1. Source of suture material
2. Absorbability
3. Number of braids present
4. Size of suture

T e various types along with their examples are explained in the following text.

1. Natural: T ese are sutures processed from naturally occurring materials, e.g., catgut ( collagen fi bers from the intestine of healthy sheep or cows ), chromic-coated catgut, silk. T e body perceives these biological materials as unfamiliar proteins and tries to degrade them by proteolytic enzymes. T is is associated with localized infl ammation and necrosis of the body' s cells around the suture material, which in turn causes painful tissue reaction.
2. Synthetic: T ese sutures are manufactured artifi cially and are stronger than natural sutures, e.g., polyglactin 370 (VicrylÔ), polyglecapr

What does this ternary diagram represent regarding Au-Ag-Cu alloys?

[Assistant] This ternary diagram (Figure 5-18) illustrates the color range of Au-Ag-Cu alloys based on their relative weight percentages. The vertices of the triangle represent pure gold (Au), silver (Ag), and copper (Cu). The interior regions show how varying the proportions of these three metals results in different alloy colors, ranging from deep red (high copper content) to white (high silver content) and yellow (high gold content).

What does this graph illustrate regarding dental investment materials?

[Assistant] This graph illustrates the setting expansion of dental investment materials over time under different conditions. It compares 'normal setting expansion' (Curve A) with 'hygroscopic expansion' (Curve B) and 'semihygroscopic expansion' (Curves C and D). The use of asbestos liners in the casting ring is shown to influence the degree of expansion, with two liners (Curve D) resulting in greater expansion than one liner (Curve C).
