internal wall

30
Q

what are the four forms of tooth preparation

A

1- outline
2- convenience
3- resistance
4- retention

31
Q

outline form is the shape of the preparation

A

True

32
Q

outline form consideration

A

1- access to the lesion
2- extent of the lesion ( lateral spread of caries at the DEJ
3- restorative material to be used
4- esthetics
5- function

33
Q

shape given to the prep to prevent fracture of either the restoration or the tooth

A

resistance form

34
Q

in most cases the prep is placed ____mm into ____ for 3 reasons
1-
2-
3-

A

0.5
dentin
to avoid sensitive DEJ
to provide adequate bulk of restorative material
to take advantage of the dentin’s resilience

35
Q

retention form is the shape that prevents restoration from being displaced by tipping or lifitng forces T/F

A

True

36
Q

retention form consideration

A

1- primary retention
2- secondary retention
primary always come first

37
Q

shape that allows the needed procedure to be preformed

A

convenience form
