Class 2 And Hand Instruments Flashcards
What happens the more you cut a tooth?
The more you weaken it!
What are class 2 lesions involved in?
Proximal surface or surface of posterior teeth
What are the four types of amalgam restorations?
How many surfaces do each involve?
Simple- 1 surface
Compound- 2 surface
Complex- 3 surface
Atypical- 3+ surfaces that always involve the onlaying of one or more cusps
What are two examples of the changing practice of restorative dentistry?
1- initial surgical procedures - defect specific approach
2- classical G.V. Black procedure - currently indicated for amalgam and usually limited to board exams or replacement restorations
What are the class 2 preps?
1 - prewedge all class 2 preps
2- place matrix (tofflemire) on adjoining tooth- open end of retainers always faces towards gingiva
3- 7 steps: see next card
What are 7 steps for class 2 ?
1- outline form ( outer shape)
2- resistance form- internal shape that prevents fracture of filling or tooth)
3- retention form ( internal shape that prevents filling from falling out
4- access form
5- removal of decay
6- margination ( finishing of enamel( cavosurface bevel))
7- debridment
Important things to remember for outline form:?
1- maintain marginal/ oblique ridge integrity
2- fl width is 1mm ; extend into occlusal primary grooves ( slightly up major grooves)
a. Pay attention to the contact point because decay is right below the contact point!
3- may or may not see light into embrasures
4- tapering from gingivo-occlusal
a. From proximal view : diverges occluso-gingivally and axial wLl contour follows shape of the tooth. A the gingival cavosurface marin
5- gingival extension - must break contact with adjacent tooth
a. Break F and L contact (classic prep only)
Important things to remember for RESISTANCE form:?
1- pulpal depth =1.7-2mm and 0.5 into dentin
2 - axial depth =1 mm for premolars and 1-1.3 mm for molars
3- axio- pulpal line angle beveled
4- uninvolved proximal slightly obtuse ( 6 degree M and D walls)
5- flat pulpal and gingival floor
6- axial wall is convex or follows contour of gingival cabosurface marin
Things 2 remember for RETENTION form:?
1- buccal and lingual walls face each other ( proximal box)
2- converging slightly towards the occlusal ( proximal box)
3- facial and lingual walls parallel or tapering (occlusal) (perpendicular with pulpal floor)
4- Plain gingival margin ( if finish is on enamel ) ( approx 20 degrees)
Things to remember About MARGINATION:?
1 - planning of the enamel rods to remove any unsupported or damaged rods and to insure enamel is supported dentin
2- gingival enamel in the proximal box ( gingival 1/3 of anatomical crown) is planed to show a negative inclination ( remove unsupported enamel)
Class 2 amalgam preparations: ? (6)
1- chisels 2- amalgam carriers 3- condensers or pluggers 4- burnishers 5- plastic instruments 6- discoid- cleoid carver
What are chisels used for?
What are 3 types of chisels? Explain
To create clean lines angles, point angles, smooth walls and smooth bevels
1 - hatchets- hand instrument who’s blade is parallel with the handle
2- hoes - hand instruments who’s blade creates a right angle with the handle
3- margin trimmers
What are condensers or pluggers used for?
2 push amalgam in ( line of force)
What is the discoid-cleoid carver used for?
2 carve dental anatomy back into tooth
how many numbers are in an instrument formula?
3 or 4
