Describe the steps shown in the diagram for preparing a Class II tooth restoration.

[Assistant] The diagram illustrates the sequential steps for preparing a Class II tooth restoration: (A) initial outline form, (B) refinement of the preparation, (C-F) the use of rotary instruments to create secondary flares and bevel the gingival margins, and (G-I) the final preparation design with established flares and internal line angles.

Describe the steps shown in the illustration for preparing a posterior tooth for a cast restoration, specifically regarding cusp reduction.

[Assistant] The illustration demonstrates the clinical procedure for preparing a posterior tooth for a cast restoration, particularly when cusp capping is indicated. Key steps include: (A-C) initial preparation and caries excavation, (D) creating depth gauge cuts using a No. 271 carbide bur to ensure uniform reduction (typically 0.8 mm to 1 mm), and (E-F) reducing the cusp to provide adequate clearance and structural support for the final restoration.

lusal surface frequently must be extended toward the cusp tips to the extent of existing restorative materials and to uncover caries (Fig. 20-22, B and C). Undermined occlusal enamel should be removed because it is weak; moreover, removing such enamel provides access for proper excavation of caries. When the occlusal outline is extended up the cusp slopes more than half the distance from any primary occlusal groove (central, facial, or lingual) to the cusp tip, capping the cusp should be considered. If the preparation outline is extended two thirds of this distance or more, capping the cusp is usually necessary to: (1) protect the weak, underlying cuspal structure from fracture caused by masticatory force and (2) remove the occlusal margin from a region subjected to heavy stress and wear (see Fig. 20-22, A and B). At this point in preparation the pulpal floor, depth can be increased from 1.5 mm to 2 mm. This additional pulpal depth ensures sufficient reduction in an area that is often

What do the diagrams in this figure illustrate regarding dental tooth preparation?

[Assistant] The figure illustrates how large cement bases (x) can weaken a tooth crown, making it susceptible to fracture under occlusal forces (heavy arrows). Diagrams A and B show potential fractures of the facial and lingual cusps, respectively. Diagrams C, D, E, and F demonstrate preventive techniques, such as using skirt extensions (s) on specific line angles and collar preparations, to reinforce the tooth structure and prevent these fractures.

What does this transmission electron micrograph show in the context of periodontal ligament histology?

[Assistant] This transmission electron micrograph shows a fibroblast within the periodontal ligament. These cells are characterized by their irregular, often folded nuclei and abundant cytoplasm containing organelles necessary for the synthesis and remodeling of the extracellular matrix, such as collagen fibers.

__lib_book_Dental Anatomy _ Oral Histology_ Orban_s Oral Histology _ Embryology by Kumar_ G S 13th Ed/img_0237.png

Of particular significance is failure of the studies to detect hematopoietic markers like CD14, CD45 and CD34 in periodontal stem cells or bone marrow stromal cells. However, many mature mineralized tissue markers including alkaline phosphatase, type I collagen, osteonectin, osteopontin, osteocalcin and bone sialoprotein are expressed by these cells. In addition, these cells have the potential to express a variety of antigens associated with endothelium (CD106), perivascular tissue ( 𝛂 muscle actin, CD146, 3G5) as well as soft connective tissue proteins, type I and type III collagens. But, studies using semiquantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, imply that periodontal ligament cells represent a unique population of postnatal stem cells distinct from bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells.

Thus to conclude, within the total fibroblastic colonyforming unit population, there is a mixture of stromal progenitor

## SUBDIVISIONS OF ORAL MUCOSA

For descriptive purposes the oral mucosa may be divided into the following areas:

Keratinized areas Masticatory mucosa Vermilion border of lip Nonkeratinized areas

Lining mucosa

Specialized mucosa

## Keratinized areas

## Masticatory mucosa (gingiva and hard palate)

The masticatory mucosa is keratinized and is made up of the gingiva and the hard palate. They have similarities in thickness and keratinization of epithelium; in thickness, density, and firmness of lamina propria; and in being immovably attached. However, there are differences in their submucosa.

## Hard palate

The mucous membrane of the hard palate is tightly fixed to the underlying periosteum and therefore immovable. Like the gingiva it is pink. The epithelium is uniform in form with a rather well-keratinized surface. The cells of the stratum corneum exhibit stacking, and in the rat there are complementary grooves and ridges between the apposing surf

The lamina propria of gingiva differs from other regions not only in the arrangement of collagen fiber but also in the composition and response of its matrix to certain stimuli and in the nature of the fibroblast. The fibroblast has less contractile protein and also lacks alkaline phosphatase. The matrix contains less of type III collagen, more of hyaluron and has a lower turnover rate. They release more prostaglandin in response to histamine.

## Blood and nerve supply

The blood supply of the gingiva is derived chiefly from the branches of the alveolar arteries that pass upward through the interdental septa. The interdental alveolar arteries perforate the alveolar crest in the interdental space and end in the interde

Describe the histological layers of the mucous membrane from the floor of the mouth as shown in the image.

[Assistant] The mucous membrane of the floor of the mouth consists of several distinct layers: a surface layer of nonkeratinized stratified squamous epithelium, followed by a thin lamina propria. Beneath this, the submucosa is characterized by the presence of adipose tissue, which allows for the mobility of the floor of the mouth. Additionally, minor sublingual glands are located within the submucosal region.

## Vestibular fornix and alveolar mucosa

The mucosa of the lips and cheeks reflects from the vestibular fornix to the alveolar mucosa covering the bone. The mucous membrane of the cheeks and lips is attached firmly to the buccinator muscle in the cheeks and orbicularis oris muscle in the lips. In the fornix the mucosa is loosely connected to the underlying structures, and so the necessary movements of the lips and cheeks are permitted. The mucous membrane covering the outer surface of the alveolar process (alveolar mucosa) is attached loosely to the periosteum. It is continuous with, but different from, the gingiva, which is firmly attached to the periosteum of the alveolar crest and to the teeth.

The median and lateral labial frenula are folds of the mucous membrane containing loose connective tissue. No muscle fibers are found in these folds.

Gingiva and alveolar mucosa are separated by the mucogingival junction . The gingiva is stippled, firm, and thick, lacks a separate submucou

What does this series of diagrams illustrate regarding the attachment epithelium?

[Assistant] This series of diagrams (Fig. 10.60) illustrates the migration of labeled attachment (junctional) epithelial cells in a continuously growing rat incisor over time following the administration of tritiated thymidine. The large arrows indicate the migration of the attachment epithelium toward and along the tooth surface, while the small arrows show the migration of cells toward the sulcus.

__lib_book_Dental Anatomy _ Oral Histology_ Orban_s Oral Histology _ Embryology by Kumar_ G S 13th Ed/img_0333.png

In the lamina propria, reticular fibers are the first to appear (6-8 weeks) followed by the collagen fibers (8-12 weeks) and the elastic fibers appear much later by about 17-20 weeks.

## AGE CHANGES IN ORAL MUCOSA

With age the oral mucosa becomes smooth and dry. These are due to epithelium becoming thin mainly due to the reduction in the thickness of epithelial ridges and decrease in the salivary secretion. The filiform papilla becomes reduced and the tongue appears smooth owing to the reduction in the thickness of the epithelium. Nutritional deficiencies may also be a contributing factor for this change. Varicose veins on the ventral aspect of tongue are often seen and these are termed as lingual varices. Langerhans cells

Compare the resorption patterns of exfoliated deciduous incisors/canines versus deciduous molars as shown in the image.

[Assistant] As shown in the image, deciduous incisors and canines (Fig. 14.13) are typically shed while a considerable amount of root dentin still remains. In contrast, deciduous molars (Fig. 14.14) usually undergo total loss of their roots and may also exhibit enamel resorption before they are shed.

__lib_book_Dental Anatomy _ Oral Histology_ Orban_s Oral Histology _ Embryology by Kumar_ G S 13th Ed/img_0392.png

Debate also exists concerning the distribution of odontoclasts during tooth resorption. Odontoclasts are most commonly found on surfaces of the roots in relation to the advancing permanent tooth. However, they have also been described in the root canals and pulp chambers of resorbing teeth lying against the predentin surface.

Although their location in the pulp chamber has been disputed, the most likely reason is that different patterns of resorption exist for different teeth. For example, single-rooted teeth are usually shed before root resorption is complete (Fig. 14.13); therefore odontoclasts are not found within the pulp chambers

of these teeth, and the odontoblast layer remains intact. In molars, however, the roots are usually completely resorbed and the crown is also partially resorbed, before exfoliation. When this happens (Fig. 14.14), the odontoblast layer is replaced by odontoclasts (Fig. 14.15), which resorb both primary and secondary dentin (Fig. 14.16). Sometimes all th

What does this histological image show regarding the process of deciduous tooth shedding?

[Assistant] This histological image shows a high-magnification view of a repaired resorption site on the root of a deciduous tooth. The process of tooth shedding involves alternating periods of resorption and repair. In this image, we can observe the cementum of the deciduous tooth, an area of repaired resorption, underlying bone, and the loose connective tissue surrounding the developing permanent tooth germ. The repair is typically achieved by the deposition of a cementum-like tissue on the previously resorbed dentin surface.

[Assistant] These electron micrographs illustrate the two primary cell types found in the synovial membrane: (A) Type A cells, which are macrophage-like and characterized by numerous lysosomes (L) and a near absence of rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER), and (B) Type B cells, which are fibroblast-like and characterized by a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER).

__lib_book_Dental Anatomy _ Oral Histology_ Orban_s Oral Histology _ Embryology by Kumar_ G S 13th Ed/img_0412.png

A small amount of a clear, straw-colored viscous fluid (synovial fluid) is found in the articular spaces. It is a lubricant and also a nutrient fluid for the avascular tissues covering the condyle and the articular eminence and for the disk. It is elaborated by diffusion from the rich capillary network of the synovial membrane that is augmented by mucin, possibly secreted by the synovial cells. As an age change, the amount of synovial fluid decreases and villous projections are seen to increase in number. The synovial membrane has considerable ability to regenerate.

## 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

C:\Users\HARI\Desktop\DocSmile\core_cpt\__lib_book_Dental Anatomy _ Oral Histology_ Wheeler_s Dental Anatomy_ Physiology _ Occlusion by Nelson_ S J 9th Ed.md

The mesial outline of the crown is only slightly convex, with the crest of curvature (representing the contact area) approaching the mesioincisal angle (see Chapter 5).

The distal outline of the crown is more convex than the mesial outline, with the crest of curvature higher toward the cervical line. The distoincisal angle is not as sharp as the mesioincisal angle, the extent of curvature depending on the typal form of the tooth.

The incisal outline is usually regular and straight in a mesiodistal direction after the tooth has been in function long enough to obliterate the mamelons. The incisal outline tends to curve downward toward the center of the crown outline, so that the crown length is greater at the center than at the two mesial angles.

The cervical outline of the crown follows a semicircular direction with the curvature rootwise, from the point at which the root outline joins the crown mesially to the point at which the root outline joins the crown distally.

What does this image illustrate regarding the anatomy of the maxillary first premolar?

[Assistant] This image illustrates ten specimens of the maxillary first premolar, highlighting various uncommon anatomical variations in root and crown morphology. These include differences in root length, root fusion or bifurcation, and occlusal surface constriction.

__lib_book_Dental Anatomy _ Oral Histology_ Wheeler_s Dental Anatomy_ Physiology _ Occlusion by Nelson_ S J 9th Ed/img_0250.png

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 ).

specimens with uncommon variations are shown in Figure 10-21.

## DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE MANDIBULAR SECOND PREMOLAR FROM ALL ASPECTS

To describe the separate aspects of this tooth, direct comparisons are made with the mandibular first premolar except for the occlusal aspect.

## Buccal Aspect

From the buccal aspect, the mandibular second premolar presents a shorter buccal cusp than the first premolar, with mesiobuccal and distobuccal cusp ridges showing angulation of less degree (see Figures 10-13 and 10-18). The contact areas, both mesial and distal, are broad. The contact areas appear to be higher because of the short buccal cusp.

## Review of Tooth Morphology

Appendix A includes color renditions of Figures 2-3 and 2-4 considered in Chapter 2 on the eruption and development of the teeth. They can be used to demonstrate to patients the development of the dentitions from 5 months in utero to adolescence and adulthood.

Also included are representative views of the facial/labial/ buccal and occlusal/incisal aspects of all of the teeth consid- ered in Chapters 6 through 12. Because of the proximity of these illustrations to the traits and characteristics of the teeth provided in Appendix B, page turns to earlier chapters can be minimized. It is also possible to view these same illustrations on the CD-ROM while examining the traits and characteristics in Appendix B.

## (b) Temporary restorations

At times, a dentist is unsure of the best treatment for a patient or a particular tooth. The exact condition of the pulp may not be obvious from the patient's symptoms. A dentist may remove all or part of the decay from a tooth and then place a temporary restoration to give the pulp time to heal before determining the specifi c treatment that is needed. Treating biologic tissues, especially the pulp, is not as predictable as both the dentist and the patient would like it to be, so a temporary restoration is placed.

## 8. Preventive Materials

Several materials are used predominantly to prevent disease or trauma. These include:

- (a) Pit and fi ssure sealants, to prevent decay (Fig. 1.11).
- (b) Mouthguards, to prevent injury during athletic activities (Fig. 1.12).
- (c) Fluoride trays, custom and stock, which fi t over the teeth to apply topical treatments. Custom fl uoride trays look very much like custom mouthguards or bleaching trays (see Fig. 1.12 a

What does this diagram illustrate regarding the bonding of dental materials to the tooth surface?

[Assistant] This diagram illustrates the chemical bonding mechanism of certain dental materials, such as glass ionomer cements, to the tooth surface. Panel A shows the polymer chain (polyacrylic acid), while panels B and C demonstrate how the carboxylate groups interact with calcium ions (Ca++) present on the tooth surface to form a chemical bond.

__lib_book_Dental Materials_ Clinical Aspects of Dental Materials by Gladwin_ Marcia 4th ed/img_0067.png

## Summary

Many materials in dentistry rely on the property of adhesive bonding for success. This type of bonding is usually considered to be micromechanical because the bonding occurs at a level too small to be seen by the naked eye. An example of macromechanical bonding in dentistry is the cementing of crowns and bridges to teeth, similar to the manner in which two pieces of wood are glued together.

Uses of adhesive materials in dentistry include retention of restorations, reduction of microleakage, and reduction of recurrent decay. Cleanliness and biofi lms are important factors to consider before using adhesive materials. For bonding success, the surface must be clean to allow intimate association of the adhesive (bonding material) and adherend (the surface).

Today, the acid-etching process is used to micromechanically bond dental materials to enamel. A microscopic rough surface is created, which allows a low-viscosity polymer resin to fl ow into the rough 'enamel tags' or 'micr

How are two-paste dental impression materials typically prepared for use?

[Assistant] Two-paste dental impression materials, such as those shown in the image, are typically prepared by dispensing equal lengths of material from each tube (base and catalyst). These pastes are usually different colors to help the operator ensure they are thoroughly mixed. The materials are then swirled, stropped, and scraped together until a single, homogeneous color is obtained.

__lib_book_Dental Materials_ Clinical Aspects of Dental Materials by Gladwin_ Marcia 4th ed/img_0128.png

## B. Impression Compound

Impression compound is wax with added fi ller to improve handling and stability. It is stronger and more brittle and, when softened, fl ows much less compared with wax. Impression compound is supplied as sticks or cakes of material, as shown in Figure 8.7A. It is softened in a warm water bath, as shown in Figure 8.7B. Because the thermal conductivity of impression compound is low, time and patience are required to soften the material properly. The heated, softened, and moldable material is placed in an impression tray, resoftened, and then seated in the mouth. When the material has cooled to mouth temperature, it returns to a rigid state and is removed. Impression compound is a stiff, thermoplastic material and is used by many dentists to make preliminary impressions for complete dentures, as shown in Figure 8.7C. Other impression materials that record fi ne details are better suited for fi nal impressions.

[Assistant] The four types of gloves shown are: (A) sterile surgeon's gloves, (B) non-sterile examination gloves, (C) overgloves, and (D) utility gloves. These are essential components of personal protective equipment (PPE) used to maintain infection control in dental settings.

__lib_book_Dental Materials_ Clinical Aspects of Dental Materials by Gladwin_ Marcia 4th ed/img_0308.png

## A. Infection Control

The Standard for Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) mandates the practice of ' universal precautions ' in dentistry when a potential exists for exposure to blood-borne pathogens in the dental operatory and laboratory. More recently, guidelines have been issued for precautions for contact with blood and other bodily fl uids, including secretions (except sweat) and excretions. These guidelines include and supersede universal precautions and are referred to as standard precautions. Standard precautions require that the same infection control procedures for any given dental procedure or task must be followed for each patient and that all patients and materials must be treated as potentially infectious.

Explain the concept illustrated in this diagram regarding titanium.

[Assistant] This diagram illustrates the metallic bonding model for titanium. It shows a neutral titanium atom (atomic number 22) losing its 4 valence electrons to become a +4 ion core. In a bulk metal, these +4 ion cores are arranged in a lattice structure, while the 4 valence electrons from each atom become delocalized, forming a shared 'electron cloud' that holds the positive ion cores together.

needle tip, it is essential that the needle be inserted to at least 1.5 mm short of the working length to achieve better debridement.
9. Type and gauge of the irrigating needle: A needle having larger diameter will deliver more irrigant, but a thinner needle will reach more apically in the canal. Smaller gauge needles that reach the apical portion passively might be chosen to achieve deeper and more e cient debridement. However, the closer the needle tip is positioned to the apical tissue, the greater is the chance of apical extrusion of the irrigant. Various types of safe-end and side-vent special irrigation needles are also available which can be used safely.
10. Surface tension of the irrigating solution: T e surface tension of the irrigant infl uences the wettability of the irrigant in the root canal. When there is more wettability , the irrigants will produce the maximum results.

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

Shear thinningThe tendency for viscosity to decrease as the shearing rate increases (see pseudoplasticity and thixotropy).

Static mixing -A technique of transforming two fluid (or paste-like) materials into a homogeneous mixture without mechanical stirring; it requires a device that forces two streams of material into a mixer cylinder, such that as the streams move through the mixer, while the stationary elements in the mixer continuously blend the materials.

Syneresis -The expression of fluid onto the surface of gel structures.

Thixotropy -The property of certain gels or fluids to become less viscous when sufficient energy in the form of impact force or vibration is applied to overcome its yield stress; at rest they require a specific time to return to the previous viscous state. Both pseudoplasticity and thixotropy are shearthinning processes; the difference is that changes in pseudoplastic viscosity do not exhibit the time dependency characteristic of thixotropy.

Describe the chemical process shown in the diagram regarding the photo-initiation of dental resins.

[Assistant] The diagram illustrates the photo-initiation process used in light-cured dental resins. It begins with the photo-excitation of camphorquinone (CQ) by blue light (468 nm) into an excited triplet state (CQ*). This excited CQ* then complexes with the amine co-initiator DMAEMA. Through a process of hydrogen atom abstraction from the amine's -CH2- group, the complex breaks down into free radicals (DMAEMA- and -CQ-), which initiate the polymerization of the resin matrix.
