Q

What is this instrument?

A

555 diamond fast handpiece bur

= longer version of 554

25
What is this instrument?
D & Z diamond fast handpiece bur = tapered Uses: Interproximal crown prep (very narrow)
26
What is this instrument?
701 stainless steel slow handpiece bur = tapered and cross cut Uses: Smoothing
27
What is this instrument?
Stainless steel round slow handpiece bur = Sizes: 1, 3 & 5mm Uses: Caries removal (use even bigger size with lots of caries) Retention for amalgam in dentine (smaller ones & use with caution)
28
What is this instrument?
Green stone slow handpiece bur = Carborundum = more abrasive than white sone N.b. Different shapes and sizes, use the best for the jo Uses: for smoothing and finishing surfaces, cast alloy and porclein surfaces
29
What is this instrument?
White stone slow handpiece = Alundum N.b. Different shapes and sizes, use the best for the job Uses: Smoothing and finishing surfaces, cast alloy and porcelein
30
What is this instrument?
Mandrel slow handpiece bur = Fit soft flex disk onto the surface = for polishing large composites (n.b. ask before use on clinic!)
31
What is this instrument?
637 diamond fast handpiece bur = tapered Uses: All ceramic crown prep Champher finish lines
32
What materials can polishing cups be used on?
Porcelein & gold
33
Which material are most dental instruments made of?
Stainless steel
34
What other tips may instruments have? And what is the purpose of this material?
Tungsten carbide = self sharpening
35
What are the 3 parts of an instrument?
Handle Shank Working part
36
What are the 4 different types of mirror?
Front reflecting Rear reflecting Magnifying Plain
37
What are the (5) different uses of mirrors?
* Retracting soft tissues * Protecting tissues * Indirect vision * Reflecting light * Trans-illumination (for detailed examination = reflects operating light through anterior tooth -\> caries show up as shadows)
38
How do you determine if a mirror is front or rear reflecting?
Hold instrument up to mirror: if images appear to touch = front reflecting if gap between images = rear reflecting (n.b. this is the mirror we generally use)
39
What are the (3) uses of a No. 18 probe?
* Diagnosis (gently detect caries, detect restorations and assessing restoration margins) * Removing plaque * Checking condition of dentine in cavity
40
What are the 3 types of college tweezers?
1. Standard 2. Locking (e.g. for root canal) 3. Endodontic
41
What are the 4 uses?
* Transferring cotton rolls to mouth * Drying cavity with cotton ball * Holding paper to dry canal * transferring GP points
42
What are the (3) uses for the 125/126 excavator (spoon)?
Caries removal Removal of temporary dressings Applying lining material
43
What is the use for 133/4 discoid excavator?
Caries removal
44
What is the 212/3 excavtor / marginal trimmer used (2) for?
* Remove unsupported enamel prisms (particularly class II -\> floors of interproximal box and wall) * used where a bur may cause damage to adjacent tooth
45
What is the PF-10 used for?
Applying flowable lining cement in a thing layer (another type - thymozin = single ended)
46
What is a flat plastic used for?
* Trasnfer and shape dental cements or restoritive materials where pressure is NOT required (e.g. not for amalgam!) to codense them into the cavity n. b. often teflon/titanium nitride/gold coated to stop composite adhering to instrument
47
What is an amalgam plugger used for? What are the two types?
Press amalgam into a cavity = compress Types; Smooth = flat end to condense Indented = cross hatched pattern n.b. also come in different sizes and tip angulations
48
What is a wards no. 2 carver used for?
To carve amalgam restorations = flat end & sharp pointed end
49
What are the uses of carvers (1/2 hollenbach & wards no. 2)?
Sharp/semi sharp blades = cutting or scraping amalgam filling material where smoothness is important
50
What is a P1 composite instrument used for?
Putting in the final composite layers in a nice anatomical way (shape the surfce to conform with naturl anatomy) n.b. come with different sized cones/tips
51
What is torque?
Turning force of rotary instruments (air motor only) = the ability of the handpiece to withstand lateral pressure on the revolving tool without decreasing the speed or cutting efficacy - speed is inversley proportional to torque
52
What is the air turbine (fast) handpiece used for?
Access caries | (with water)
53
What is the air motor (slow) handpiece used for?
Removal of caries
54
What is a contrangle handpiece?
More bent Colour codings: Blue band -\> ratio of speed to motor and bur = 1:1 ratio Green band -\> gearing system = decreased speed = 2:1 Red band -\> speed increases = used for crowns and bridges, usually used on micromotor and not an air motor
55
What is the optimum drill speed for endodontic treatment?
112 rpm
56
What level of torque and speed is more efficient to cut hard materials (e.g. enamel, porcelein and metals)?
High speed Low torque
57
What level of torque and speed is more efficient to cut soft materials (e.g. caries & pulp)?
Low speed High torque
58
Whar does RPM stand for?
Revolutions per min (speed of rotation)
