25
To avoid NaOCl incident; 1. DO NOT: 2. Keep : 3. Dental dam:

false
31
Produced when we do any mechanical shaping n dentin. It lies on the surface of the dentinal tubules
smear layer
32
Occludes access to the dentinal tubules so MUST be removed to complete the cleaning procedure before obturation or when using various sealers and cement
smear layer
33
When must the smear layer be removed?
BEFORE obturation
