Q

what type of scaler is the cavitron

A

magnetostrictive

20
Q

where would the dial be placed in order to start scaling on the cavitron

A

in the blue

21
Q

what needs to be done to the cavitron before inserting the stack

A

allow water to flow through it

22
Q

what are the handpieces available for the inovadent big one

A

scaler, polisher, drill, water, air gun

23
Q

what type of mechanical scaler is the inovadent big one

A

piezoelectric

24
Q

what needs to be done for the inovadent big one before turning it on and using the machine

A

ensure proper oil level and fill water bottle

25
Q

what are the two liquids in the hanging bottles for the highdent

A

distilled water, chlorexidine solution

26
Q

what type of mechanical scaler is the highdent

A

piezoelectric

27
Q

what type of mechanic scaler is in the pet piezo plus

A

piezoelectric

28
Q

in addition to scaling what does the pet piezo plus

A

scaling, polishing, drilling

29
Q

what is not recommended to do with the pet piezo plus unit

A

drilling. it does not run water through the drill so it heats up too quickly and can burn the tooth

30
Q

what distinuishes the handheld unit from the rest.

A

handheld and wireless

31
Q

what does the handheld unit do

A

it polishes

32
Q

how do i know when the handheld unit needs to be charged

A

the light is orange

33
Q

can we re-use the trophy angles for the handheld unit?

A

no it is disposable.

34
Q

how do we verify the wear of a tip or a stack

A

compare to the tip cards

35
Q

what are the first three steps when starting the dental prophy on the patients

A

put a towel under head
pack the mouth
chlorx- rinse

36
Q

true/false: polishing is only done at the end when all four buccal quadrants have been scaled

A

false

37
Q

fill in the blank: hand instruments and power instruments are held using the ________

A

modified pencil grip

38
Q

true/false: the tip of the power instrument can be pointed at the tooth or held at a 90 degree angle to the tooth

A

false

39
Q

fill in the blank: the correct positioning for the dental radiograph requires proper tube angulation, tube position and _____ position

A

film

40
Q

what technique do you use for the mandibular PM and molars

A

parallel technique

41
Q

what is the bisecting technique

A

when the film is placed parallel to the long axis of the tooth, and the central beam is directed perpendicular to the film

42
Q

what happens when the beam is angled too vertically

A

the tooth will appear foreshortened

43
Q

what happens when the beam is angled too low

A

the tooth will appear elongated

44
Q

t/f: the dental film dot should face the beam

A

true

45
Q

t/f: the dental film dot should be directed towards the inside of the patients throat

A

false

46
Q

t/f: the white part of the dental film should face the opposite side of the x-ray beam

A

false

47
Q

how long does the film need to remain in the water bath once it has been developed and fixed

A

1hour
