Glossary of Dental Terms
1 GLOSSARY OF DENTAL TERMS A PATIENT’S DENTAL PRIMER Amalgam - Silver filling. Bonding - Method of adhering a filling ( amalgam or composite ) to a tooth. Uses a white light to harden the material. Bridge - A cemented structure used to replace missing teeth. Composed of several caps soldered together using a pontic to replace the missing tooth. Calculus -Tartar, a hard substance that forms on the teeth. Once formed, it must be professionally removed. Composite - White filling used in front or back teeth. Crown - 1. Same thing as a cap. Can be all metal ( either gold or a combination of other met- als) or a combination of metal and an esthetic material such as porcelain. 2. The part of the tooth that is visible in the mouth. Denture - A Removable Prosthesis - can be either a full or partial ( replaces a few or several teeth) denture. Sometimes called a ' plate '. Should not be confused with a bridge. Endodontist - A dentist that specializes in performing root canal therapy. Explorer - The pointed instrument used during the examination. Frenum - The little piece of tissue which goes from the inside of your lip to the gum tissue just above your front teeth. There is also a frenum which goes from the under surfac your tongue to the bottom of your mouth. Frenum are not essential structures and very often need to be removed if they are causing physical or esthetic problems. Gingiva - Gum tissue. Inflammation - Red, sore, puffy bleeding gums tissue. Due to the accumulation of bacteria and lack of required home care. Inlay/Onlay - A type of restoration that replaces a part of the tooth. -
Root Canal Treatment of Permanent Mandibular First Molar with Six Root Canals: a Rare Case
CASE REPORT Turk Endod J 2016;1(1):52–54 doi: 10.14744/TEJ.2016.65375 Root canal treatment of permanent mandibular first molar with six root canals: a rare case Ersan Çiçek,1 Neslihan Yılmaz,1 Murat İçen2 1Department of Endodontics, Faculty of Dentistry, Bülent Ecevit University, Zonguldak, Turkey 2Department of Oral Radiology, Faculty of Dentistry, Bülent Ecevit University, Zonguldak, Turkey This case report aims to present the management of a mandibular first molar with six root canals, four in mesial and two in distal root. A 16-year-old male patient who has suffered from localized dull pain in his lower left posterior region for a long time was referred to the endodontic clinic. On clinical examina- tion, neither caries lesion nor restoration was observed on the mandibular molar teeth; but the occlu- sal surface of the teeth had pathologic attrition. The mandibular and maxillary molars were tender to percussion due to bruxism, but there was no tenderness towards palpation. All of the molars revealed normal responses to the vitality tests. It was suggested that he should use the night-guard against brux- ism. After three months, his pain almost completely relieved, but the percussion of the left mandibular molar was still going on. After access cavity preparation, careful examination of the pulp chamber floor with dental loupe and endodontic explorer (DG 16 probe) showed six canal orifices, four of mesially and two of distally. CBCT scan was performed in order to confirm the presence of six canals. Following one year, it was observed that he had no pain. -

Tooth Size Proportions Useful in Early Diagnosis
#63 Ortho-Tain, Inc. 1-800-541-6612 Tooth Size Proportions Useful In Early Diagnosis As the permanent incisors begin to erupt starting with the lower central, it becomes helpful to predict the sizes of the other upper and lower adult incisors to determine the required space necessary for straightness. Although there are variations in the mesio-distal widths of the teeth in any individual when proportions are used, the sizes of the unerupted permanent teeth can at least be fairly accurately pre-determined from the mesio-distal measurements obtained from the measurements of already erupted permanent teeth. As the mandibular permanent central breaks tissue, a mesio-distal measurement of the tooth is taken. The size of the lower adult lateral is obtained by adding 0.5 mm.. to the lower central size (see a). (a) Width of lower lateral = m-d width of lower central + 0.5 mm. The sizes of the upper incisors then become important as well. The upper permanent central is 3.25 mm.. wider than the lower central (see b). (b) Size of upper central = m-d width of lower central + 3.25 mm. The size of the upper lateral is 2.0 mm. smaller mesio-distally than the maxillary central (see c), and 1.25 mm. larger than the lower central (see d). (c) Size of upper lateral = m-d width of upper central - 2.0 mm. (d) Size of upper lateral = m-d width of lower central + 1.25 mm. The combined mesio-distal widths of the lower four adult incisors are four times the width of the mandibular central plus 1.0 mm. -
Structural Changes in the Oral Microbiome of the Adolescent
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Structural changes in the oral microbiome of the adolescent patients with moderate or severe dental fuorosis Qian Wang1,2, Xuelan Chen1,4, Huan Hu2, Xiaoyuan Wei3, Xiaofan Wang3, Zehui Peng4, Rui Ma4, Qian Zhao4, Jiangchao Zhao3*, Jianguo Liu1* & Feilong Deng1,2,3* Dental fuorosis is a very prevalent endemic disease. Although oral microbiome has been reported to correlate with diferent oral diseases, there appears to be an absence of research recognizing any relationship between the severity of dental fuorosis and the oral microbiome. To this end, we investigated the changes in oral microbial community structure and identifed bacterial species associated with moderate and severe dental fuorosis. Salivary samples of 42 individuals, assigned into Healthy (N = 9), Mild (N = 14) and Moderate/Severe (M&S, N = 19), were investigated using the V4 region of 16S rRNA gene. The oral microbial community structure based on Bray Curtis and Weighted Unifrac were signifcantly changed in the M&S group compared with both of Healthy and Mild. As the predominant phyla, Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes showed variation in the relative abundance among groups. The Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes (F/B) ratio was signifcantly higher in the M&S group. LEfSe analysis was used to identify diferentially represented taxa at the species level. Several genera such as Streptococcus mitis, Gemella parahaemolysans, Lactococcus lactis, and Fusobacterium nucleatum, were signifcantly more abundant in patients with moderate/severe dental fuorosis, while Prevotella melaninogenica and Schaalia odontolytica were enriched in the Healthy group. In conclusion, our study indicates oral microbiome shift in patients with moderate/severe dental fuorosis. -

Dental Anatomy Lecture (8) د. حسين احمد Permanent Maxillary Premolars The maxillary premolars are four in number: two in the right and two in the left. They are posterior to the canines and anterior to the molars. The maxillary premolars have shorter crowns and shorter roots than those of the maxillary canines. The maxillary first premolar is larger than the maxillary second premolar. Premolars are named so because they are anterior to molars in permanent dentition. They succeed the deciduous molars (there are no premolars in deciduous dentition). They are also called “bicuspid -having two cusps-“, but this name is not widely used because the mandibular first premolar has one functional cusp. The premolars are intermediate between molars and canines in: Form: The labial aspect of the canine and the buccal aspect of premolar are similar. Function: The canine is used to tear food while the premolars and molars are used to grind it. Position: The premolars are in the center of the dental arch.

Maxillary Premolars
Maxillary Premolars Dr Preeti Sharma Reader Oral & Maxillofacial Pathology SDC Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU Premolars are so named because they are anterior to molars in permanent dentition. They succeed the deciduous molars. Also called bicuspid teeth. They develop from the same number of lobes as anteriors i.e., four. The primary difference is the well-formed lingual cusp developed from the lingual lobe. The lingual lobe is represented by cingulum in anterior teeth. Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU The buccal cusp of maxillary first premolar is long and sharp assisting the canine as a prehensile or tearing teeth. The second premolars have cusps less sharp and function as grinding teeth like molars. The crown and root of maxillary premolar are shorter than those of maxillary canines. The crowns are little longer and roots equal to those of molars. Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU As the cusps develop buccally and lingually, the marginal ridges are a little part of the occlusal surface of the crown. Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU Maxillary second premolar Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU Maxillary First Premolar Dr Preeti Sharma Reader Oral Pathology SDC Dr. Preeti Sharma, Subharti Dental College, SVSU The maxillary first premolar has two cusps, buccal and lingual. The buccal cusp is about 1mm longer than the lingual cusp. The crown is angular and buccal line angles are more prominent. The crown is shorter than the canine by 1.5 to 2mm on an average. The premolar resembles a canine from buccal aspect. -

Permanent Maxillary First Molar with Two Rooted Anatomy: a Rare Occurrence Dentistry Section
DOI: 10.7860/JCDR/2018/35290.11823 Case Report Permanent Maxillary First Molar with Two Rooted Anatomy: A Rare Occurrence Dentistry Section RENITA SOARES1, IDA DE NORONHA DE ATAIDE2, KARLA MARIA CARVALHO3, NEIL DE SOUZA4, SERGIO MARTIRES5 ABSTRACT The basis of successful endodontic therapy resides on sound and thorough knowledge of the root canal anatomy, its variations and the clinical skills. The importance of the knowledge of the anatomy of root canals cannot be overemphasized. Unusual root and root canal morphologies associated with maxillary molars have been reported in several studies, in the literature. The morphology of the maxillary first molar has been studied and reviewed extensively. However the presence of two roots in a maxillary first molar is a rare occurrence and such cases have seldom been reported in literature. This clinical report presents a permanent maxillary first molar with an unusual morphology of two roots with two canals.
