Study Notes

Pulp Testing in Primary Teeth Often unreliable due to undeveloped Raschkow plexus, which limits sensory response. Pulpotomy Healing Calcified fibrous tissue formation begins around 14 days post-treatment. New Dentin Formation After Ca(OH)₂ pulp cap, dentin bridge forms in approximately 28 days. Pulpectomy Material ZOE (Zinc Oxide Eugenol Paste) is commonly used. Pulp Capping Materials Calcium Hydroxide (CaOH) Mineral T…

Nursing Caries and Rampant Caries Nursing caries and rampant caries are both forms of dental caries that can lead to significant oral health issues, particularly in children. Nursing Caries Nursing Caries: A specific form of rampant caries that primarily affects infants and toddlers, characterized by a distinct pattern of decay.

EPHEDRINE It act indirectly and directly on α and β receptors. It increases blood pressure both by peripheral vasoconstriction and by increasing the cardiac output. Ephedrine also relaxes the bronchial smooth muscles. Ephedrine stimulates CNS and produces restlessness, insomnia, anxiety and tremors. Ephedrine produces mydriasis on local as well as systemic administration. Ephedrine is useful for the treatment of chronic and moderate type of b…

White Blood Cells (leukocytes) White blood cells are much less numerous than red (the ratio between the two is around 1:700), have nuclei, participate in protecting the body from infection, consist of lymphocytes and monocytes with relatively clear cytoplasm, and three types of granulocytes, whose cytoplasm is filled with granules. Lymphocytes: There are several kinds of lymphocytes, each with different functions to perform , 25% of wbc The most …
