Cementation Flashcards

1
Q

T/F: FIRST – If you did a lot of adjusting to the temporary
at the previous appointment, causing it to be more
than slightly different than the previous matrix, a new
matrix of the temp can and should be made of the
temporary, to save you time in case you need to
remake the temp due to breakage in the process of
removing it.

Q

-Using Curved Hemostat, gently rock the
temporary back and forth to break the

-Care should be taken to grasp the temporary in
a manner in which the temporary is not likely
to break.

Q

-If the Contacts are appropriate
-If the Internal surface is not hindering seat
-Then the Framework may be distorted.
What do you do?

A

-Section the framework through a connector
