Lecture 3 Flashcards
Placement of dam:
2 teeth behind the tooth of interest to the contralateral incisor
Ist molar hole
second largest hole
premolar hole
3rd largest hole
Clamp size for tooth #15
3
of points of contact you should have with clamp:
4
line up bow:
parallel to the lines on the dam
lubricant we use
Every Man Jack shaving cream
to get rubber dam bw teeth
Reach waxed tape - very thick
Hook this side on the dam first:
top
On which tooth does the first clamp attach?
2 behind the tooth you are working on and one on the actual tooth as well.
Function of bow clamp:
Retracts gingival tissue for facial/cervical
4 parts of clamp
bow (arch), pinch, wing, jaws
W2:
Premolare
W3:
Flat jawed
W8:
normally erupted max molars
W8a:
small/partially erupted molars (jaws angle down)
212:
double bowed clamp - class 5 lesion, small lower teeth
on which side is the clamp more gingival, lingual or buccal?
buccal to retract tissue more to fill the Class V restoration
How do you have to punch the hole for the 212 clamp for a Class 5 cervical lesion?
slightly out of alignment to the buccal
Operative teeth that need to be isolated:
quadrants
Endodontics teeth that need to be isolated:
single tooth
Steps previous to dam placement:
- anesthesia
- Check inter-proximal contacts
- Check occlusal contacts
- shade selection in esthetic restoration
6.
7. - Select retainer
- Retainer is ligated (attach floss)
T or F? Always restore tooth to an anatomically perfect tooth if restoring.
F. Reproduce the restoration as the occlusal contact wee before you started
Dam lubricants we can use:
water soluble/ vaseline
