Early childhood caries (ECC) lesions typically begin on the smooth surfaces of the teeth most susceptible to plaque accumulation in young children, which are the cervical thirds of the labial surfaces of the maxillary anterior teeth.Other surfaces like occlusal surfaces of molars are also susceptible, but the pattern in ECC often starts anteriorly.

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) is a material used in dentistry, particularly in vital pulp therapy and endodontics.

It is primarily composed of Portland cement and bismuth oxide.

When MTA is mixed with water, it releases calcium ions, which are essential for the formation of a hard tissue barrier, promoting dentinogenesis (dentin formation and regeneration).

This process relies on the material's ability to create a high-pH environment, which stimulates the surrounding cells to form reparative dentin.

Flexibility of an orthodontic wire is directly proportional to its length and the interbracket distance. Flexibility is inversely proportional to the cross-section diameter/area. Bracket prescription refers to the angles built into the brackets themselves and does not directly influence the inherent flexibility of the wire material.

Oral Medicine

Beta2 agonists, such as albuterol, work by binding to beta2 receptors on the smooth muscles surrounding the airways, leading to relaxation of these muscles and bronchodilation, which helps alleviate the bronchospasm characteristic of an asthma attack.

Gingival hyperplasia, or the overgrowth of gum tissue, is commonly caused by chronic inflammation, certain medications like nifedipine, and hereditary conditions.
Chronic inflammation is a frequent cause, often resulting from poor oral hygiene.
Nifedipine therapy is a well-known example of medication-induced gingival enlargement.
Hereditary fibromatosis is a genetic condition that causes significant gum overgrowth.
Faulty tooth brushing, particularly overly vigorous brushing, is a primary cause of gingival recession (the wearing away of gum tissue), not hyperplasia.

The response to treatment of syphilis is best monitored by VDRL (Venereal Disease Research Laboratory test) because it is a non-specific test for syphilis that measures the presence of antibodies in the blood. It is widely used for diagnosis and monitoring the effectiveness of treatment. TPHA (Treponema pallidum hemagglutination assay) and FTA-ABS (Fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption) are both specific treponemal antibody tests, which are used for confirming the diagnosis but not as commonly for monitoring treatment response. TPI (Treponema pallidum immobilization) is a specific antibody test but less sensitive than TPHA and FTA-ABS, making VDRL a more practical choice for monitoring treatment.
