Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

29 notecards = 8 pages (4 cards per page)

Viewing:

Conservative(2-Enamel)

front 1

Whats the clinical crown

back 1

The visible portion if the enamel above the gum thats you can see with your bare eye, not including the deeper enamel, dentin or pulp

front 2

Why can't the enamel regenerate after eruption

back 2

Because the Ameloblasts are lost/ died as the tooth erupts

front 3

How thick is the enamel generally in incisors

back 3

In the incisal edge is 2mm thick

front 4

How thick is the enamel generally in premolars

back 4

In the cusps is 2.3-2.5mm thick

front 5

How thick is the enamel generally in molars

back 5

In the cusps is 2.5-3mm thick

front 6

In which part of the mandibular molars is the enamle the thickest

back 6

In the buccal cusps

front 7

In which part of the maxillary molars is the enamle the thickest

back 7

In the palatal cusps

front 8

Whats the organic matrix of enamel made of?

back 8

4-12% of water, 1-2% protein

front 9

Whats the inorganic part of the enamel made of

back 9

By volume 90-92% Symmetrically repeating Hydroxyapatite(calcium phosphate) crystals

front 10

How many rods are there in mandibular incisors

back 10

5 million

front 11

How many prisms are there in molars

back 11

12 million

front 12

How big is the diameter of enamel rods near the DEJ

back 12

4 microns

front 13

How big is the diameter of enamel rods on the surface of enamel

back 13

8 microns

front 14

What affects the color of the tooth

back 14

  • Color of the dentin
  • thickness of the enamel
  • if there are stains in the animal(while developments substances like tetracycline can cause teeth to have a brown band around them bc the Ca binds to the enamel or excess of fluoride can cause Fluorosis) they change how the enamel reflects light

front 15

what affects enamel translucency

back 15

mineralization and homogeneity of enamel

front 16

What enamel structural features act as pain receptors in the enamel

back 16

Enamel Spindles

front 17

Where do enamel tufts get their names from

back 17

from grass tuft

front 18

How high can Enamel Tuft get

back 18

they can reach as high as the one third(1/3)-half(1/2) the enamel thickness

front 19

Why are Enamel Tuft considered weak spots

back 19

they're made mostly of proteins and not so much inorganic compounds(hydroxyapetite crystals) which make them easier to break

front 20

What role do Enamel Tuft considered play in the enamel

back 20

they distribute stress throughout the enamel

front 21

What are Enamel lamella

back 21

hypominarlized parts of the enamel that contain mostly water and proteins that didn't turn to crystals, they extend throughout the enamel till they reach DEJ, sometimes they even penetrate it

front 22

What is Gnarled enamel

back 22

they are the twisting of enamel rods around each other to strengthen the enamel especially when they reach the cusps or incisal ridge

front 23

What is Hunter-Shreger bands

back 23

they are light and dark bands that appear when reflected light hits the enamel, the light bands are bands aligned in one direction while the darker bands are aligned in different directions

front 24

What is the Salivary pellicle made from

back 24

mucoproteins(proteins that help to make mucus) and sialoproteins (proteins that help to make saliva)

front 25

What are Dental plaques made from

back 25

Microorganisms that mix with Salivary Plaques

front 26

What happens if you don't remove Dental Plaques

back 26

after eating the bacteria in the dental plaques metabolize the sugar stuck on the surface of the plaques which results in making acids, that acid with the dental plaques will turn into dental carries and periodontal diseases and the picture(dental calculus(tartar))

front 27

What causes mineralization of Enamel

back 27

intentional or pathogens

front 28

Which part of the enamel is more soluble

back 28

the deeper you go the weaker the enamel gets because of less density

front 29

How to make the teeth less sensitive to acid attacks

back 29

by taking fluoride(F-) whether topically(toothpastes that contain fluoride) or systematically(medications)
