Lec 3 - Instrumentation Flashcards
Used to cut, plane and cleave tooth structure
hand instruments
Burs, diamonds and drills
rotary instruments
amalgam restorations require blank walls
convergent/parallel
indirect restorations like gold ceramic and resin need these walls
divergent
type of hand instrument classification system at buffalo
internal
Instruments used to cut and shape tooth structure and includes hatchets, hoes, chisels and spoon excavators (caries removal)
A series
Instruments used for the placement of restorative materials, including amalgam condensers and plastic instruments (not made of plastic but used to manipulate plastic materials)
B series
Instruments used to shape and finish restorative materials Hollenback carvers, cleoid discoids and various other carvers
C series
hand instrument classification system based on size and configuration of instruments
black’s
primary cutting edge of instrument can be blank or blank and is on the end of the instrument
monobeveled, bibeveled
three parts of hand instrument
blade, shank, handle
first digit of blacks three number formula
width of the blade in tenths of a millimeter
second digit of blacks three number formula
length of the blade in millimeters
third digit of blacks three number formula
angle of long axis of blade with the handle in degrees centigrade
centigrade takes a 360 degree circle and turns it into blank
100 degrees
first digit of blacks three number formula
width of the blade in tenths of a millimeter
second digit of blacks four number formula
Angle of the cutting edge of the blade with the handle in degrees centigrade
third digit of blacks four number formula
Length of the blade in millimeters
fourth digit of blacks four number formula
Angle of the long axis of the blade with the handle in degrees centigrade
burs are better at blank cutting than blank cutting
side, end
burs cut in this direction
counterclockwise
two parts of burs
head, shaft
two most used burs for operative
pear shaped 330, long inverted cone 245
bur with parallel sides and multipurpose cavity prep
straight fissure
same basic form of straight fissure burs but has added blades to improve cutting efficiency
cross cut straight fissure
numbering of cross cut straight fissure burs
556-560
these burs are for developing retentive features and sides converge toward shank
inverted cone burs
numbering of inverted cone burs
33.5-40
burs that have sides converging toward end of bur for developing tapered walls
tapered fissure burs
numbering of tapered fissure burs
168-171
burs used to develop retentive features and remove caries
round burs
numbering of round burs
1/16 - 11
round burs are used in this handpiece
slow speed
burs with a metal blank with particles added for cutting
diamond
