Solution algorithm:
1. Pay attention to the structure of the periodontium, the size of the periodontal
gap.
2. Pay attention to the density of bone tissue surrounding the periodontium.
3. Pay attention to the possibility of visual access to periodontal tissues, especially
at the apex of the root.
4. Pay attention to the possibility of recording on different media changes that
occur inside the bone tissue and the root of the tooth.
Solution algorithm:
1. Pay attention to the structure of the periodontium, the size of the periodontal
gap.
2. Pay attention to the density of bone tissue surrounding the periodontium, as well
as the periodontal gap at the apex of the root. Prolonged chronic inflammation
leads to enlargement of the periodontal gap.
3. Pay attention to the presence of bone compaction, especially at the apex of the
root (hypercementosis).
3. A method that allows you to assess the shadowing that occurs when passing
through the tooth tissue cold light flux from a halogen lamp:
transillumination
congratulatory coloring
radiological
halogenography
holography
Solution algorithm:
1. Pay attention to the structure of the tooth. Enamel is a light-transmitting
structure.
2. Pay attention to the density of dentin. This tissue is permeated with dentinal
tubules, is not very transparent and can absorb light.
3. Pay attention to the possibility of visualization of tooth tissues after light
penetrates through them.
4. Pay attention to the physical properties of light. Polarized, diffused light is
better delayed in areas of teeth where there are defects.
Solution algorithm:
1. Pay attention to the structure of the tooth. Enamel is a structure that is sensitive
to acids.
2. Pay attention to the possibility of penetration into the enamel of dyes.
Especially when damaged.
3. Pay attention to the possibility of visualization of tooth enamel tissues after the
dye penetrates into it.
4. Note the different colors of the standardized tests. The color of the painted
enamel determines its stability
