MRSA - (answer)Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-is a strain of the staph bacteria that lives on
20-30% of the population but does not cause infection in all who are colonized with it. MRSA resides on
the skin and in the nasal passage, and once you contract a MRSA staph infection it can be very difficult to
eradicate the bacteria.
MRSA antibiotics - (answer)Many antibiotics can be used to treat this condition. Look for any of these:
vancomycin, linezolid, bactrim, septra, tetracycline, minocycline, doxycycline, and clindamycin.
Prednisone - (answer)Delayed wound healing, poor healing, with increased risk of infection. This
medication affects the immune response.
Ultrasonic insert with plastic tips - (answer)Can be used with implants for removal of calculus. Also,
titanium and plastic hand instruments can be used on implants.
Oraqix duration - (answer)Approximately 20 minutes.
Hutchinson's Incisors - (answer)Congenital syphillus- notched incisal edges on incisors, also mulberry
molars- tiny globules of enamel instead of cusps on first molars.
Class I Occlusion - (answer)(Mesognathic)-normal; mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first molar is
positioned in the buccal groove of the mandibular first molar. Maxillary canine occluded with the distal
half of the mandibular canine and the mesial half of the mandibular first premolar.
Class II Occlusion - (answer)(Retrognathic) buccal groove of the mandibular first permanent molar is
distal go the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first permanent molar by at least the width of a premolar.
Distal portion of the maxillary canine is mesial to the mesial portion of the mandibular canine by at lease
the width of a premolar.
Division I-retruded mandible with one or more maxillary anterior teeth protruded facially.
Division II- retruded mandible with one or more maxillary anterior teeth inclined lingually.

Class III Occlusion - (answer)(Prognathic) Buccal groove of the mandibular first permanent molar is
mesial to the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first permanent molar by at lease the width of a
premolar. Mesial portion of the maxillary canine is distal to the distal surface of the mandibular canine
by the width of a premolar.
Leeway space - (answer)This difference in size, mesiodistally between the two types of teeth. The
contour of the bone covering the narrower roots of the premolars, in addition to the state of flux of the
bone formation in this area, furnishes adjustment for dental arch measurements, making the middle
segment of the arches important architecturally. Leeway space allows the future forward movement of
the permanent molars.
Hairy tongue - (answer)Elongation of filiform papillae (dorsum) clean tongue.
Hairy leukoplakia - (answer)Lateral border, white, corrugated lesions, associated with HIV, Epstein Barr
virus.
Geographic tongue - (answer)Benign, inflammatory condition, irregular patches look like map.
Anemia - (answer)Impaired O2 delivery, 1st pale tongue, flattening of filiform papillae, finally painful and
red.
Fissured tongue - (answer)Associated with xerostomia, clean tongue.
Median Rhomboid Glossitis - (answer)Raised, red, glossy, slanted rectangular shape on dorsum due to
Candida albicans infection.
Mucocele - (answer)Swelling due to mucus from accessory salivary glands, common, most mandibular
labial mucosa.
