Instrumentation Flashcards
What are the two types of tooth cutting instruments
-Hand and rotary instruments
What are hand instruments used for
to cut, plan, and cleave tooth structure
How many series are there in the UBSDM internal system
3 (A,B,C series)
A series instruments are used to..
cut and shape tooth structure and includes hatchets, hoes, chisels, and spoon excavators (caries removal)
B series instruments are used to
place restorative materials (i.e amalgam condensors and plastic instruments)
C series instruments are used to…
shape and finish restorative materials (i.e holdback covers, cleoid discoids, and other carvers)
Blacks classification systems for instruments is based on…
size and configuration of instrument
What is the primary cutting edge of an instrument
primary working surface of the instrument
The primary cutting edge can be either __ or __ beveled
mono or bi
What is the shank
connects the blade to the handle
Can a blonde have a secondary cutting edge
yes
How many numbers (digits) are there is Blacks instrument classification system
3
What does each digit in the Blacks Classification system mean
- 1st digit= Width of blade in 10th of a millimeter
- 2nd digit= Length of blade in mm
- 3rd digit=Angle of the long axis of blade with handle in degrees centigrade
If the first digits in Blacks classification system is 15 what does this means
the width of the blade is 1.5 mm
90 degrees is how many degrees centigrade
25
270 degrees is how many degrees centigrade
75
0 degrees is how many degrees centigrade
0
Blacks classification system also has a 4 number formula, what digits in this new classification system are the same as the 3 digits system
the 1st remains the same
