Conservative DentistryIn a Class III cavity preparation, which typically involves the anterior teeth and is located on the proximal surfaces, the axial wall is considered the base. This wall is oriented parallel to the long axis of the tooth and provides support for the restoration. The gingival wall is also important, but the axial wall is the primary base in this context.

EndodonticsThe most common consequence of bleaching non-vital teeth is cervical resorption. This occurs because: 1) Bleaching agents can penetrate through dentinal tubules and reach the cervical area, 2) The agents cause chemical irritation to periodontal ligament cells, 3) This triggers inflammatory resorption at the cervical region, 4) The process can be progressive and lead to tooth loss. Proper isolation with cervical seal using glass ionomer cement helps prevent this complication.

Oral SurgeryA hypoglycemic episode occurs when a person's blood sugar levels drop too low. For a diabetic patient on insulin, insulin helps move glucose from the blood into the cells, lowering blood sugar levels. If a patient takes their usual dose of insulin but then omits a meal, such as breakfast, there is not enough glucose entering the bloodstream from food to balance the effect of the insulin. This leads to an excessive drop in blood sugar, resulting in hypoglycemia.
