Chairside Ch 36 Flashcards
Surgical suction tip
Small. Removes blood tissue debris without removing blood clot
HVE
Used to remove saliva, blood, water, and debris. Retract tongue/cheek. Reduce bacterial aerosol from high speed handpiece
Operative suction tip
Large circumference straight or slight angle in middle, disposable
Where do u position the HVE
Place before handpiece and mirror, position tip tooth closest, parallel to tooth surface, edge even/ a little beyond occlusal/incisal edge
Where u place saliva ejector
Under tongue
When saliva ejector used
Prophylaxis, placing sealant, fluoride treatment, moisture control under dental dam, ortho bonding, bridge/crown
Limited area rinsing
When dentist exits mouth and pauses for inspection. Quick/efficiently/frequently
Full mouth rinsing
Entire mouth needs freshening after long procedure. HVE used
Air water syringe
Close to site, air on mouth mirror, rinse/dry area after handpiece stops
Isolation of teeth
Helps keep area dry. Easy to apply, protective, comfortable, better visualization
Cotton rolls
Positioned by salivary gland ducts to absorb saliva flow/close to working site
What are cotton rolls used for
Examinations, application of sealants, cementing castings, simple restorations
Advantages of cotton rolls
Easily applied, no other equipment required, flexible, comes in diff sizes
Disadvantages of cotton rolls
Not complete isolation, no protection from aspiration, can rip oral mucosa, replaced frequently, limited retraction
Dry angle
Isolated posterior areas. Placed over stensens duct opposite maxillary molar
Dental dam size
Continuous roll or 2 precut sizes 6x6 (posterior perm) or 5x5 (primary or anterior perm)
Dam color
Green, blue, and pastels. Dark used to add contrast and reduce glare
Dam thickness
Thin endodontic application (one tooth less stretch needed), medium operative (easy to handle), heavy tissue retraction/extra resistance to tearing (crown, bridge, tight contacts)
Dental dam frame
Stabilizes/stretches dam tightly around teeth
Plastic U-shaped frame
UNDER dam (by face) b/c its radiolucent
Young frame
Stainless steal, placed outside dam and dam stretched over projection of frame (comfort holds away from face)
Ostby frame
Round plastic, sharp projections, outside dam and dam stretched over.
Dental dam napkin
Disposable, placed between face and dam, increase comfort absorbs moisture.
Lubricants
By patients lips (zinc oxide, petroleum jelly), water soluble placed on underside of dam to help dam slide over teeth/interproximal (no petroleum jelly)
Dam punch size 5
Largest used for molar being clamped
Size 4
Large hole for molars
Size 3 hole
Medium hole used for premolars
Size 2 hole
Small used for maxillary anteriors
Size 1 hole
Smallest used for mandibular anteriors
Bow
Round part of dental clamp visible in mouth after dam placed
Dental dam is _______ around tooth to create seal to prevent leakage
Inverted
Jaw
Part of dental dam clamp stabilized around anchored tooth
Stylus
Sharp pointed tool for cutting
Septum
Piece of dam between each punched hole
What are suction tips made of
Stainless steal and plastic
Sealant placement isolation method
Cotton rolls
Isolation for restoration of class 5 composite resin
Cotton rolls
What stabilizes and stretches dam away from face
Frame
What cavity class would use anterior dam clamp
Class 2 on tooth 18
What grasp used when using HVE
Pen and thumb to nose
Reason for inverting dam
Prevent saliva leakage
What is positioned on clamp before positioned on tooth
Dental floss
Limited rinse uses
Air water syringe and HVE
