19
Q

Taper of a 245 bur

A

4 degree

20
Q

Taper of a 330 bur

A

8 degree

21
Q

Length of a 245 bur

A

3mm

22
Q

Neck of a bur is thinner for

A

operators visibility

23
Q

2 mechanisms of cutting

A
  1. brittle fracture

2. ductile fracture

24
Q

Abrasive cutting is MORE efficient with … materials

A

brittle (like enamel) (micro cracks)

25
Q

Abrasive cutting is NOT efficient with…. material

A

ductile (dentin)

26
Q

Ductile fracture mechanism of cutting is…. deformation of the material by shearing

A

plastic

27
Q

Bladed cutting more efficient is MORE efficient with … material

A

ductile

28
Q

Blade design- The surface that forms the chip and the surface of the blade towards the direction of cutting

A

Rake face

29
Q

Blade design: The surface that clears the chip and that goes away from the direction of cutting

A

Clearance face

30
Q

The angle that provides clearance between the cutting edge and the tooth structure

A

clearance angle

31
Q

Angle between the radial line and the rake face

A

rake angle

32
Q

angle between the rake and clearance surfaces

A

edge angle

33
Q

… rake angle has a higher cutting efficiency and larger chips are produced. But there is a small chip space so its more likely to clog

A

Positive

34
Q

A rake angle is positive when the blade is… to the perpendicular

A

behind

35
Q

A rake angle is negative when the blade is … of the perpendicular

A

in front

36
Q

….rake angle has a decreased cutting efficiency and smaller chips are produced so there is no clogging

A

negative

37
Q

Purpose of the clearance angle

A

prevents blade from rubbing on the tooth surface

38
Q

…clearance angle means less friction, dulling minimized and bur life lengthened

A

Bigger

39
Q

Vibration and heat generation may lead to …

A

plural trauma and discomfort to the patient (water coolants used)

40
Q

1st number of the 3 unit instrument formula is the…

A

width of blade (10 = 1mm)

41
Q

2nd number of the 3 unit instrument formula is the

A

length of blade (7=7mm)

42
Q

3rd number of the 3 unit instrument formula is the

A

angulation of the blade to the long axis of the handle (14)

43
Q

Gingival margin trimmer does what kind of cutting?

A

lateral
