             FUNCTION OF SALIVA  FUNCTION: LUBRICATION SALIVARY COMPONENT : Glycoprotein, mucoid  PROBABLE MECHANISM :coating similar to gastric mucin  FUNCTION: BUFFERING ACTION  SALIVARY COMPONENT: Bicarbonates, phosphate MECHANISM : Antacid  FUNCTION :PHYSICAL PROTECTION ,CLEANSING SALIVARY COMPONENT :Glycoproteins, mucoid, physical flow  MECHANISM :clearance of bacteria and debris  FUNCTION: TOOTH INTEGRITY ,MAINTAINANCE SALIVARY COMPONENT : Minerals ,glycoprotein pellicle  MECHANISM :maturation ,remineralization mechanical protection  SALIVARY COMPONENT :IGA MECHANISM : control of bacterial colonization  FUNCTION: ANTIBACTERIAL ACTION SALIVARY   COMPONENT :LYSOZYME MECHANISM OF ACTION : Break bacteria cells  SALIVARY COMPONENT:L ACTOPEROXIDASE MECHANISM : oxidation of susceptible bacteria 

                             FRENECTOMY  STUDENTS CORNER :  This particular topic on frenectomy on exam point of view is a most possible 5 mark question so in order to achieve maximum possible marks we need to present this answer in an order ,Firstly begin by giving small introduction on what frenectomy is ,how is it different from frenotomy ,where frenectomy is performed followed by how its supposed to be performed apart from exams its definitely must know topic regarding case selection criteria which has a very vital role ,in clinical practice . INTRODUCTION: Frenum is a fold of mucous membrane that is enclosed with muscle fiber that attaches to lip and cheek at alveolar mucosa gingiva  If frenum to close to marginal gingiva ,it creates tension on frenum that pull gingival margin away from tooth ,conducive to plaque accumulation. FRENECTOMY: Complete removal of frenum including its attachment to ...

  NECROSIS  DEFINITION: Its defined as the morphological changes taking place in a tissue after cell death due to degradative action f enzymes on irreversibly injured cell. TYPES OF NECROIS : A)CASEOUS NECROSIS B)LIQUEFACTIVE NECROSIS C)COAGULATIVE NECROSIS D)FIBRINIOD NECROSIS E)FAT NECROSIS F)GANGEROUS NECROSIS CYTOPLASMIC CHANGES : Increased eosinophilia of cytoplasm  Vacuolation and moth eaten appearance of cytoplasm  Calcification of cell membrane and intracellular structures  Formation of myelin figures  NUCLEAR CHANGES : KARYOLYSIS : Fading of basophilia of nucleus PYKNOSIS: Nuclear shrinkage due to condensation of chromatin  KARYORRHEXIS -Nuclear fragmentation  A)CASESOUS NECROSIS : Its seen in tuberculosis and occurs due to both enzymatic degradation of tissue and denaturation of cellular proteins  The tissue architecture is lost and replaced by soft ,creamy cheese like material  Microscopically ,there is amorphous granular debr...

  TARNISH AND CORROSION  TARNISH : S urface discoloration  on a metal /even slight loss of surface finish. CORROSION:  D eterioration of a metal by reacting with environment,water ,oxygen,chloride ion,sulfide contribute corrosion attack. CAUSES FOR TARNISH    : Pigment producing bacteria formation of hard ,soft deposit on surface of restoration (eg-calculus) formation of thin film oxide and sulphide. CLASSIFICATION OF CORROSION CHEMICAL/DRY :  In chemical type of corrosion metal reacts to form oxide,sulphide  in the absence of  electrolyte for an example : oxidation of alloy particle in amalgam. 2) Electrochemical /wet corrosion: In electrochemical type of corrosion there will be formation of free electron ,electrolyte that provide pathway for transport of electrons. types of  electrochemical corrosion : A) galvanic corrosion B) concentration cell corrosion and C) stress corrosion  A) Galvanic corrosion: ...
