Verified, Updated Fall 2024/2025.
What prerequisites are necessary for a candidate to apply to dental school
Completion of the DAT exam ; Successful completion of one year of physics, chem, organic chemistry,
and biology
What does ethics in dentistry deal with?
Morals, Values, and behaviors as they relate to patient care
Failure to deliver due care with patients
Negligence
This involves failure to act as a "reasonable and prudent professional" would act
Omission
An act that a "reasonable and prudent professional" would not perform
Commission
C. Edmund Kells
First to take xray on his arm and eventually had to have it amputated due to cancer arising from
repeated radiation exposure
This type of radiation results when primary radiation and the atoms of an object it contacts interact
Secondary Radiation
All of the radiation that reaches the xray film passing through the object being radiographed
Remnant radiation
All the radiation other than the primary beam caused by electrons hitting the glass wall and other parts
of the xray tube
stray radiation
Rays from the primary beam that have been deflected by tissues or other objects
scattered radiation
This portion of the tooth is embedded in bone and covered by cementum
Anatomic Root
This portion of the tooth is located at the central portion of the tooth and surrounded by dentin
, Pulp Cavity
This portion of the tooth is surrounded by enamel and is visible in the oral cavity
Anatomic Crown
This portion of the tooth is the tip of the root
Apex
This is the minute opening where lymphatic tissue, nerve tissue, bloody supply enter the tooth
Apical foramen
Blood vessels are more numerous in older than in younger tooth
false
pulp canal is the small and narrow portion of the pulp cavity located within the root of the tooth
true
Fact about enamel
it is made up of rods and prisims
Facts about dentin
made up of 70% inorganic materials
contains odontoblasts
What are the tissues that surround and support the teeth called?
Periodontium
What covers the cortical plate and is known as the fibrous sheath
Periosteum
This is also called the alveolar process proper and the cortical plate is attached directly to this
Lamina Dura
Which types of cells are found within the PDL build bone
Osteoblasts
What is the movable tissue surrounding the crown of the tooth above the CEJ of the tooth
Free gingiva
What is the term for the peak of the free gingiva
gingival crest
Distortion
