dentifrices
|

|
|
purpose of dentrifices
|
cosmetic and sanitary- removes debris and discoloration therapeutic- benefits the teeth and gingiva and helps maintain them in a healthy state |
|
|
whitening tooth paste is mainly cosmetic and not therapeutic
|
true
|
|
|
basic components of dentifrice
|
detergents, surfactant, foaming agents make up 1-2% abrasive system/cleaning and polishing agents make up 20-60% binding agents thickener (1-2%) humectants (20-60%) water (15-50%) substances used are sodium lauryl sulfate USP; sodium n-lauryl sarcosinate and sodium lauryl phosphate |
|
|
purpose for detergents, surfactant, foaming agents in dentifrice
|
acts to lower surface tension and loosen and soften deposits and stains for easier removal
|
|
|
purpose for abrasive system/cleaning and polishing agents in dentifrice |
an abrasive is used to clean and polish and is used to produce a smooth and shiny surface that resists discoloration and bacterial accumulation and retention
|
|
|
alumina trihydrates
|
rounder and softer abrasive
|
|
|
abrasive pastes
|
calcium carbonate calcium pyrophosphate silica, silicates, dehydrated silica gels |
|
|
abrasive gels (more abrasive than pastes)
|
synthetic amorphous silica zerogel synthetic amorphous complex aluminosilicate salt |
|
|
factors effecting abrasiveness
|
hardness of the abrasive size of the abrasive particle shape of the particle concentration of particles |
|
|
radioactive dentin abrasive technique
|
method utilized for assessing the abrasivity of dentifrices
ADA safety level for abrasivity is an RDA value of 250 or less |
|
|
purpose of binding agent thickener
|
to prevent separation of the solid and liquid ingredients during storage
|
|
|
purpose of humectants
|
to keep it soft. to retain moisture and prevent hardening on exposure to air and to stabilize the preparation |
|
|
purpose of water in dentifrices
|
acts as a solvent to dissolve solid compounds and salts
|
|
|
flavoring and sweetening agents
|
.5-1.5%
|
|
|
preservatives purpose in dentifrices
|
to prevent bacterial growth, prolong shelf life
|
|
|
substances used in sweetening and flavoring agents |
artifical noncariogenic sweetener, sorbitol glycerin essential oils for flavoring |
|
|
therapeutic agents |
to halt or prevent some type of disease process or sensitivity |
|
|
dental caries prevention |
fluoride |
|
|
tooth sensitivity reduction |
potassium nitrate. fluoride based desensitization agents block dentinal tubules, encapsulates minerals in saliva to act as a block |
|
|
calculus formation reduction |
pyrophosphates. puts waxy coat over the tooth so it takes longer for biofilm to form |
|
|
gingivitis reduction |
triclosan |
|
|
sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide are used to treat |
stain reduction |
|
|
antiplaque |
chlorhexidine and alexidine in mouth rinses. but causes tooth staining |
|
|
ADA |
determines the safety and effectiveness of the product
|
|
|
The bass method most common |
sulcular brushing for all patients, dental biofilm removal on tooth surfaces and from the gingival margin filaments apically sides of filaments are parallel with long axis of tooth 45 degree |
|
|
the modified bass method |
the same as the bass method but you flip the end of the toothbrush at the end. creates splatter also have to replace toothbrush more often |
|
|
roll or rolling stroke method |
cleaning gingiva and removing biofilm etc without emphasis on the sulcus meant for children with healthy gingiva meant for w conjugation of vibratory technique |
|
|
the stillman method |
purpose is meant from massage and stimulation; cleaning the cervical areas. |
|
|
modified stillman method |
incorporates a rolling stroke and after the vibratory phase. purpose is to remove dental biofilm from cervical areas and exposed proximal surfaces. |
|
|
angle of filaments |
turn handle by rotating wrist so filaments are directed at a 45 degree angle |
|
|
activate brush |
slight rotary motion, maintain lights pressure and always in constant contact |
|
|
charters method |
mostly meant for oath patients.
instead of brush pointed toward the apex or the gums of that tooth, the brush is going to be facing the opposite direction so it ends up being in the occlusal or incisal position last (pointed toward brackets) purpose is inter proximal brushing 45 degree angle |
|
|
fone (circular) method |
when teeth are closed, a circular motion extends from the maxillary gingiva to the mandibular gingiva using a light pressure |
|
|
horizontal method/vertical method |
teeth are edge to edge and brushing horizontally/vertically. interdental areas are not touched |
|
|
scrub brush method
|
consists of vigorously combined horizontal vertical and circular strokes with vibratory motion. can encourage gingival recession and tooth abrasion THIS IS NOT A GOOD THING |
|
|
hippocrates writings |
descriptions of periodontal diseases prescriptions for treatment of unhealthy mouths |
|
|
chince |
developed toothbrush |
|
|
early brushing methods .. |
1.provide massage - increase resistance of gingival tissue
2. increase keratinization - resulted in resistance to bacterial invasion |
|
|
filaments are the same as |
brissles |
|
|
parts of toothbrush |
handle- grasped in the hand during toothbrushing head-the working end shank-connects head and handle |
|
|
toothbrush length/dimensions |
6-7.5 inches. bristle or filament heigh is 11 mm |
|
|
bristle hardness |
.2 mm-soft .3mm-medium .4 mm- hard |
|
|
bilevel toothbrush brissles |
used for orthodontics |
|
|
factos influencing stiffness |
diameter-thinner filaments are softer and more resilient length-shorter filaments are stiffer and less flexible number of filaments-increased density and tufts give support thus increases feel of stiffness angle of filaments- may be more flexible and less stiff than straight filaments of equal length and diameter |
|
|
influencing factors for toothbrushing selection |
patient gingiva position of teeth compliance method selected |
|
|
supplemental brushing |
problem areas that need more attention |
|
|
occlusal brushing |
removing plaque from the margins of restorations cleans pits and fissures to prepare for sealants back and forth motion, not circular |
