2013 Flashcards
rotations/second range
4000-6000
checklist for handpiece safety
sterile and fit for use
- Backcap secure
- ensure cap does not rotate, never finger tighten
- insert bur
- try pull it out, make sure bur locates in chuck
- bur spins freely
- spin it on finger and see if it spins on own axis
- bur doesn’t wobble
- on finger and when switched on
- sounds OK

unfused centre of mandible
mandible angle between body and ramus - obtuse or markedly obtuse?
starts of markedly and gets less so
until teeth lost
cavo-surface margins approx
90o
line angles
2 points
point angles
3 points
principles for using Gracet currette
- Determine LARGER, OUTER cutting edge before beginning
- After visual inspection, confirm the correct cutting edge by adapting it to the tooth with the TERMINAL SHANK PARALLEL to the surface to be scaled.
- Only the back (flat, shiny face) of the instrument can be seen from above if the correct edge has been selected
- Lower shank is parallel to tooth
- Use fulcrum & finger rest
- Vertical & diagonal cutting strokes may be made
syringe
Before beginning, check patients medical history & check injection site
- Tear back sterile seal of cartridge, check sell by date & insert gold end into syringe
- Grip & retract plunger handle to cover silicone washer. Roll plunger onto cartridge
- Slide protective sheath back towards handle until it CLICKS. Make sure there is no gap and plunger is locked to syringe handle
- Remove needle cap & discard it. Needle is ready for use
- Passive aspiration & Active aspiration
- To change cartridge, slide sheath up to 1st holding position, remove & change
- When used lock needle in 2nd holding position of-Do not try unlock when like this
- Fully retract & peel plunger - autoclave. Needle in sharps box & cartridge in glass box
all deciduous teeth by
2 and half years
all permanent teeth by
12 years
bar 8s
rough rate of tooth eruption
every 6 months of life roughly 4 teeth will erupt
sequence of deciduous eruption
A
B
D
C
E
(first molars before canine)
permanent teeth eruption
All lowers develop before uppers except 5s
Upper:
- 1st molar then front to back EXCEPT 3s:
- 6, 1, 2, 4, 5, 3, 7, 8
Lower:
- 1st molar then front to back:
- 6, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
root completion
3 years from eruption date to get complete apexogenesis
upper right 1st primary molar morphology
2 buccal roots;1 lingual.
- Mesio-buccal root is wider cervically than disto-buccal root is
Tubercle of Zuckerkandl on mesio-buccal cusp
4 cusps.
- Large mesio-buccal & diminutive disto-buccal.
- Mirrored lingually
lower right first primary molar morphology
- Prominent tubercle (Tubercle of Zuckerkandl on mesio buccal cusp)
- 4 cusps.
- Mesio cusps larger than distal.
- Buccal cusps are seen to lean lingually
