Class 1 and class 5 preps Flashcards
For alamagam restoration what are means for isolation of the site?
- visbility
- access
- mositure contol (very important with compositte
what is the gold standard for isolation?
rubber dam
what are other things that can be used for isolation?
- retraction cord
- cotton rolls
- isovac
All ________ must be removed
undermined enamel
```from all margins
```
Margins should be ____________ at the
cavosurface on all axial surfaces
90 degrees
On the occlusal surface, margins may be
SLIGHTLY obtuse in some areas, but must
_________________ anywhere on the tooth
NEVER BE ACUTE
enamel would break
Ideal preparations are ________
into the dentin
0.2mm to 0.5 mm
in live pt determined by caries
RETENTION FORM
what holds a restoration in a
tooth (RETAINS the restoration)
Amalgam doesn’t
bond to the tooth
Smaller amalgams are held in by
converging walls
and/or
by retention grooves if no walls
can converge
RESISTANCE FORM
These are elements in the design of a tooth preparation that will help
restoration and tooth resist fracturing
What makes the tooth less likely to fracture?
-maintaining as much tooth structure as possible
-Rounding internal line angles on a preparation
what makes the restoration less likely to fracture?
-Having some areas on the floor of a multi-surface preparation that are perpendicular to occlusal forces
-Smoothly rounding outline forms
-proper depth
Never leave enamel on the
floor of an amalgam preparation
NEVER leave a partial-depth ledge on the
enamel wall of an occlusal
preparation, like a class I amalgam
Where do class ones occur
in the occlsual 2/3 of molar
what is this pointing to?
pupal floor
what is this pointing to?
isthmus
what is th top arrow pointing to?
buccal groove extension
what is the bottom arrow point to?
lingual groove extension
what is this pointing to?
dove tails
the buccal and lingual walls of the isthmus in the prep are
converged
