Q
Advantages of \_\_\_\_\_\_
Esthetic 
Conserves tooth structure
Bonding◦Reduced microleakage and recurrent decay◦Increased retention
No metal
◦No mercury arguments from patients
◦No corrosion
◦No galvanic shockCan be economical
◦Vs. crowns and inlays/onlays
Preparation may be more forgiving

Q

Is composite more or less flexible

A

More flexible; Low modulus

17
Q

SHould you ever bevel dentin?

A

NO

18
Q

____ is the term used to describe the stiffness of a material

A

Modulus of elasticity

19
Q
The following are places to place \_\_\_\_\_\_\_
Enamel margins
◦Especially gingival margin-vulnerable if margin is on dentin, cementum, or sides of enamel rods
◦Ends of enamel rods is ideal
Premolars or small molars
◦Ideal preparations 
Interim restoration
◦Before crown is placed
Preventative resin restoration
Cingulum rest preparations for RPD
A

Composite restorations

20
Q

Conservative Technique
◦Place composite in carious occlusal pits
◦Seal remaining pits and fissures

A

Preventative resin restoration

21
Q

What is the main reason for beveling cavosurface margins at gingival?

A

Greater surface area for bonding

22
Q

Is Eugenol or Copalite used in composite restorations?

A

No

23
Q

A physical mixture of materials

A

Composite

24
Q

If there is more filler in a composite, there is _____ strength

A

MOre strength

25
Q

_______ composites
◦Less concern over esthetics, more concerned with strength
◦More filler= more strength
◦=less esthetic

A

Posterior composites

26
Q

_____ composites:
Increased size of particles
Stronger
Less aesthetic

A

Macrofill

27
Q

____ composites:
Smaller sizes
Less strength
More aesthetic leading to a better polish

A

◦This is what we’re most commonly talking about when we say “composites”

A

Nanofill

30
