Q

In order to create microtags in enamel, you should etch with strong or weak acid?

A

STRONG

23
Q

You should etch dentin with a strong or weak acid?

A

WEAK

24
Q

The type of class # with the highest C factor =

A

Class I

25
Q

Is composite packable and condensable like amalgam?

A

NO

26
Q

TERM—

  1. Adheres to layer of tooth debris, saliva, and bacteria
  2. Covers surface and plugs tubules to reduce permeability
  3. Weak cohesion and adhesion (limits bond strengths)
A

SMEAR LAYER

27
Q

If dentin becomes dessicated, ____% of the bond strength is lost

A

50%

28
Q

How can you restore the bond strength if dentin is dessicated?

A

Rehydrate with water to open the collagen fibers prior to the next step of the restoration

29
Q

Does a composite resin fight against caries if leaking occurs?

A

NO

30
Q

Should a tooth be wet or dry when diagnosing caries?

A

DRY

31
Q

What allows for the composite restoration to able to add another layer or composite? (unless contaminated with blood or saliva)

A

Oxygen Inhibition Layer

32
Q

Is it necessary to redo the whole composite if you find a void with an explorer post curing?

A

NO- simply use bond and composite to patch the void

33
Q

Does self-etching primers remove the smear layer?

A

NO- there will be a hybrid and smear layer entanglement

34
Q

Does total etch remove the smear layer?

A

Yes! A hybrid layer entanglement will occur with resin adhesive

35
Q

The bonding agent will penetrate thru the __________ dentin and forms the hybrid layer (resin-dentin interdiffusion zone)

A

Intertubular Dentin

36
Q

Greater # of blades on a bur = smooth/rough cutting?

A

Smoother

37
Q

If a patient is at high risk for root caries, what restoration material should be considered?

A

Glass Ionomer

38
Q

When polishing a composite, you should begin with the ______ to ______ abrasive disks

A

Coarse to fine

39
Q

True or False?

Silicane is the nano filler particle

A

FALSE– fillers are glass particles

40
Q

Is using color the best indication for determining caries?

A

NO – arrested caries are darker than active caries; staining

41
Q

When polishing a composite with a rotary instrument, it is important to keep in mind that it results in….

1.

2.

A
  1. Heavy Force
  2. Heat Production
42
Q

What was the initial dentin bonding system like?

A

3 step system

Q

How exactly does dessicating the dentin prevent the bonding integrity?

A
  1. Collagen bridges collapse
