Direct Restorative Procedures Flashcards
Possess uniform specified minimum thickness for strength
Resistance form
For maximum edge thickness at margin for amalgam
90 degree amalgam butt joint angle
How does amalgam self seal
By corrosion products in the meantime needs varnish to protect pulp
Polishing of amalgam is done
After 24 hours
For which tooth pulpal and gingival floors prepared parallel to occlusal surface
Mandibular 1st premolar
Internal angle of amalgam should be
Rounded
How much is adequate thickness of amalgam
1.5-2.0 mm in areas of occlusal contact
0.5 mm in axial areas
A beveled cavosurface margin will lead to
Fracture of thin amalgam
Occlusal of posteriors, occlusal thirds of facial and lingual of molars, palatal of max molars
Class I
Ideal cavity dimensions for class I amalgam
Depth: 1.5-2 mm
Width: 1.0-1.5 mm
Width of marginal ridges should be atleast how much for class I restoration
1.5 mm in premolars
2mm in molars
Mesial and distal cavity walls are prepared with slight occlusal divergence to
Ensure that proximal marginal ridges are not undermined
Dentinal depth of axial walls in class II preparation
If in enamel 0.5-0.6 mm in dentin
If in cementum 0.7-0.8 mm in dentin
Minimal proximal extension
0.5mm
Proximal contact areas in posterior teeth are located
More buccally
In class II amalgam preparation 90 degrees cavosurface margin achieved by
Reverse curve on buccal
Primary retention form in class II cavity preparation achieved to prevent restoration getting dislodged proximally is by
Dovetail
All external walls are prepared perpendicular to the external tooth surface in
Class V amalgam preparation
