Caries Flashcards
Is firm dentine remineralizable?
Yes
During the initial tooth preparation
procedures, the depth of the preparation
extends to:
a. Just inside enamel.
b. Just inside dentin.
c. Where needed to remove soft dentin.
d. Where needed to remove firm dentin.
b. Just inside dentin
Moderate caries lesions should be removed to:
a. Hard dentin.
b. 0.2 mm within dentin.
c. Firm dentin.
d. Soft dentin to avoid pulp exposure.
c. Firm dentin
The best technique to avoid pulp exposure is:
a. Selective removal to firm dentin.
b. Selective removal to soft dentin.
c. Non selective removal to hard dentin.
d. Use a polymeric restorative material.
b. Selective removal to soft dentin
How do we arrest caries in a non cavitated white spot lesion?
Pit and fissure sealants with frequent monitoring
What is more important for the Arrest of a lesion?
(a) complete removal of all bacteria
(b) the protection of thepulp
(c) tight peripheral seal for the restoration
(c) tight peripheral seal for the restoration
Which dentin is deformed when pressed with hand instrument?
a) soft
b) hard
c) firm
d) leathery
a) soft
Initial, white spot lesions are only visible
when:
a. Dry.
b. Wet.
c. Dry and wet.
d. Only after we start removing them with a bur
a. Dry
Firm dentin:
a. Has normal mineral content.
b. Is demineralized.
c. Cannot repair.
d. Has the same hardness with normal dentin.
b. Is demineralized
Leathery dentin is located:
a. Between soft and firm dentin.
b. Between enamel and dentin caries.
c. On the upper part of the lesion, close to the
DEJ.
d. Below firm dentin, just before hard dentin.
a. Between soft and firm dentin.
Polycrystalline restorative materials require a
more aggressive preparation than polymeric
restorative materials.
a. True.
b. False.
c. They have no different requirements for tooth
preparation.
a. True
A compound tooth preparation is when:
a. One surface is involved.
b. Two or three surfaces are involved.
c. Four or more surfaces are involved.
d. A preparation with a proximal box.
b. Two or three surfaces are involved
An axial wall is:
a. A synonym for a pulpal wall.
b. An internal wall that is perpendicular to the
long axis of the tooth.
c. An internal wall that is parallel to the long axis
of the tooth.
d. Any prepared wall that does not extend to the
external tooth surface.
c. An internal wall that is parallel to the long axis
of the tooth
Primary resistance form is the shape of the
tooth preparation that will:
a. Protect the restoration from breaking.
b. Protect the restoration from dislodging.
c. Protect the tooth from breaking.
d. Provide access and visibility to the caries lesion.
a. Protect the restoration from breaking
c. Protect the tooth from breaking
Converging walls of a tooth preparation is part
of the:
a. Primary resistance form.
b. Primary retention form.
c. Secondary resistance form.
d. Secondary retention form.
b. Primary retention form
