Q

Q25: Nickel titanium files are known to be super elasticity and can be strained more than other alloys without permanent deformation. How does this benefit root canal treatment?

A

The super elasticity feature allows Ni Ti files to be placed in curved canals with less lateral forces.

Q

Q50: mineralised tissues are normally protected by predentine and odontoblasts in the ROOT CANAL and by precementum and cementoblasts on the ROOT SURFACE. If predentine and precementum becomes mineralised or mechanically damaged what does it lead to?

A

Multinucleated cells would colonise, and resorption ensues.

Q39: what are the advantages of having a large taper (6%)?

A

Helps achieve optimum obturation. Greater taper allows more effective disinfection of the canal system.

lubricant,

adhere to dentine,

radiopaque.

31
Q

Q31: how does a ProTaper hand file differ to a ProFile in reference to its taper?

A

ProFile has a constant taper, whereas Protaper has variable taper

32
Q

Q36: the ProTaper gold instruments have shaping and finishing files, how many do each category have?

A

Shaping files x3, finishing file x5.

33
Q

Q29: what form is Ni Ti when stress is applied to it?

A

Martensite

34
Q

Q49: discharge present in the canal at each opening is best described as a?

A

weeping canal

35
Q

Q12: what is advantage of stainless-steel hand files?

A

Do not readily corrode, rust, or stain.

36
Q

Q7: what is the tip angle of the endodontic file?

A

75 degrees +/- 15 degrees

37
Q

Q57: what are the ideal biological properties obturating materials must have?

A

No allergy to patient/staff,

no irritation to local tissue,

sterile,

antimicrobial,

stimulate periradicular healing

38
Q

Q51: which medicament reduces osteoclastic activity and stimulates repair?

A

Calcium hydroxide.

39
Q

Q53: how would you treat internal resorption if it hasn’t perforated?

A

Extirpate pulp, dress CaOH, obturate with warm gutta-percha.

40
Q

Q42: what is the name given to the version of calcium hydroxide that sets?

A

Dycal

41
Q

Q47: which material is used for pulp capping?

A

Calcium hydroxide (SETTING) known as dycal.

42
Q

Q1: endodontic hand instruments are manufactured in either what material?

A

Stainless steel or nickel titanium

43
Q

Q10: what is the taper for conventional stainless-steel endodontic files?

A

The taper is 0.02 or 2%, which means that every 1 mm towards the shank the diameter of the file increases by 0.02

44
Q

Q43: what is the purpose of using inter-appointment disinfectant?

To reduce and prevent multiplication of microorganisms that remain following careful cleaning and shaping. And to prevent reinfection through coronal or apical leakage.
