set piezo scaler
put on prophy tip and cups
What is needed for the cavitron dental instrument
open handle (Water)
fill handle with water
put in stacks
set scaling water pressure
what is needed for the inovadent pet piezo plus
set tips
set piezo scaler
pressurize water pump
set scaling water pressure
what power instrument do you put at low speed
the polisher
what power instrument do you put at high speed
the drill
for the cavitron what color does the blue stack need to be set to
grey
for the cavitron what color does the green stack need to be set to
blue
What is the curved beak instrument used to remove heavy gross calculus from the tooth surface
calculus removing forceps
to explore the depth of sulcus to determine periodontal probing depth and sub gingival calculus
dental probe
wide working tip, chisel like blade instrument used to remove supra gingival heavy gross calculus
dental hoe/chisel
very fine and sharp instrument with a flat tip used to break down the PL and expand the alveolus
dental luxator
to examine teeth for caries, calculi, furcations, resorptive lesions, calculus left behind
dental explorer
triangle pointed shaped instrument with a pointed toe and 2 parallel cutting edges (also: supra gingival or subgingivial)
supragingival - dental scaler
very thin delicate ends instrument used to lift the gingiva/mucosa away from the alveolar bone to prepare tooth for extractions
periosteal elevator
double ended instrument, rounded toe and back used to remove calculus (supra and/or subgingivally after power scaling)
both supra and sub - curette
thick working ends instrument used to stretch, cut, tear the PL and displace the tooth root from its socket during the extraction process
winged elevator
instrument used to grip the tooth or root for removal during extraction
extraction forceps
what type of scaler is the cavitron
magnetostrictive
where would the dial be placed in order to start scaling on the cavitron
in the blue
what needs to be done to the cavitron before inserting the stack
allow water to flow through it
what are the handpieces available for the inovadent big one
scaler, polisher, drill, water, air gun
what type of mechanical scaler is the inovadent big one
piezoelectric
what needs to be done for the inovadent big one before turning it on and using the machine
ensure proper oil level and fill water bottle
what are the two liquids in the hanging bottles for the highdent
distilled water, chlorexidine solution
what type of mechanical scaler is the highdent
piezoelectric
what type of mechanic scaler is in the pet piezo plus
piezoelectric
in addition to scaling what does the pet piezo plus
scaling, polishing, drilling
what is not recommended to do with the pet piezo plus unit
drilling. it does not run water through the drill so it heats up too quickly and can burn the tooth
what distinuishes the handheld unit from the rest.
handheld and wireless
what does the handheld unit do
it polishes
how do i know when the handheld unit needs to be charged
the light is orange
can we re-use the trophy angles for the handheld unit?
no it is disposable.
how do we verify the wear of a tip or a stack
compare to the tip cards
what are the first three steps when starting the dental prophy on the patients
put a towel under head
pack the mouth
chlorx- rinse
true/false: polishing is only done at the end when all four buccal quadrants have been scaled
false
fill in the blank: hand instruments and power instruments are held using the ________
modified pencil grip
true/false: the tip of the power instrument can be pointed at the tooth or held at a 90 degree angle to the tooth
false
fill in the blank: the correct positioning for the dental radiograph requires proper tube angulation, tube position and _____ position
film
what technique do you use for the mandibular PM and molars
parallel technique
what is the bisecting technique
when the film is placed parallel to the long axis of the tooth, and the central beam is directed perpendicular to the film
what happens when the beam is angled too vertically
the tooth will appear foreshortened
what happens when the beam is angled too low
the tooth will appear elongated
t/f: the dental film dot should face the beam
true
t/f: the dental film dot should be directed towards the inside of the patients throat
false
t/f: the white part of the dental film should face the opposite side of the x-ray beam
false
how long does the film need to remain in the water bath once it has been developed and fixed
1hour
