Q

Ideal preparations are ______ to _______ into the dentin

A

0.2mm to 0.5mm
*must prepare through the ENTIRE enamel layer
*in a live patient, this is determined by caries

Q

A prep of 0.2mm to 0.5mm into the dentin means that?

A

Different depths in different places on the tooth
*it will depend on the thickness of the enamel in the area

Q

Preparing to PROPER DEPTH prevents ___________ in the restoration

A

Weakness (resists fractures)
- NEVER leave enamel on the floor of an amalgam preparation
- NEVER leave a partial-depth ledge on the enamel wall of an occlusal preparation like a class I amalgam

Q

Avoid leaving _________ under an amalgam that is subject to occlusal stress

A

Sharp external line angles
- This could result in fracture of the RESTORATION
ex: axial wall of class II prep

Q

What makes a restoration less likely to fracture?

A
  1. Having some areas on the floor of a multi-surface preparation that are perpendicular to occlusal forces
  2. Smoothly rounding outline forms
14
Q

What classification is a buccal pit amalgam?

A

Class I
*NOT a class V desite being on axial surface

15
Q

Where does a class I buccal pit amalgam occur?

A

2/3 of molar tooth

16
Q

What does a class I buccal pit restoration restore?

A

Developmental pit

17
Q

The walls at the terminal ends of the buccal and lingual grooves ______ _______ degrees

A

Diverge 3 degrees

18
Q

Walls in the isthmus areas ___________ on each side of the preparation

A

Converge 3 degrees

19
Q

Isthmus width is _______ minimum

A

1mm

20
Q

Walls adjacent to marginal ridges ____________

A

Diverge 3 degrees

21
Q

_________ the mesial or distal wall adjacent to the marginal ridge leaves _________ for the ridge in this area

A

Diverging; dentin support

22
Q

What is the occlusal amalgam depth?

A

.2mm inside dentino-enamel junction
*plastic molars: 2mm total
*plastic premolars: 1.5mm total

23
Q

________ the wall adjacent to the marginal ridge risks ______________ for the marginal ridge

A

Converging; destruction of the dentin support

24
Q

What happens when wall converges where it should diverge?

A

Marginal ridge is weak

25
Q

What happens when wall diverges too much?

A

Amalgam at margin would be weak

26
Q

How do you avoid an off-axis preparation?

A

Enter teeth parallel to the long axis of the tooth crown not the patient

27
Q

Bur inclines more mesially in the ________ and more distally in the __________ the further posteriorly we go, due to the ____________

A

Mandible; maxilla; curve of spee

28
Q

Bur inclines more lingually in the ________ and more buccally in the __________ the further posteriorly we go, due to the ____________

A

Mandible; maxilla; curve of wilson

29
Q

What do angular outline form cause?

A

Areas of stress concentration, fracturing amlgam

30
Q

At ______mm of depth on an ordinary molar, the bur has/has not penetrated into dentin

A

1.5mm; has not

31
Q

What kind of prep do 245 burs cut?

A

Undercut prep with ROUNDED internal line angles

32
Q

What are the measurements of a 245 bur?

A

3mm top to bottom, half of the head is 1 1/2 mm and 2/3 the head is 2 mm

33
Q

Where are retention grooves located?

A

Always in dentin, just inside the D.E.J even when axial wall is deeper than ideal due to caries
