Q

Causes of abfration:

A

teeth flex under occlusal load, transmitted ot cervical region causing rods to break where the tooth is thinnest. V shaped notches, associated with the loss of Class V restorations and wear facets (forces applied to cervical region due to occlusal forces)

30
Q

What type of restoration is todays Class V restoration?

A

Box-shaped type preparation

31
Q

Goal of shaping the booth prep

A

90’ to the cavosurface margin

32
Q

At what angle should all wall propose meet the external unprepared tooth structure?

A

90’

33
Q

Why do we want a 90’ angle at the cavosurface margin?

A

bc of the way the enamel rods are oriented, we don’t ant unsupported enamel

34
Q

What does it mean if you can see the cavosurface wall in its entirety?

A

it diverges toward the tooth surface

35
Q

Where does the bevel begin?

A

the dej

36
Q

why do we start the bevel at the dej?

A

to bond better (increase s.a. for bonding)

37
Q

What should the length of the bevel be in any setting?

A

it varies

38
Q

What is the etch that we use?

A

35% phosphoric acid

39
Q

What bur should be used for contouring lingual surfaces of anterior teeth?

A

football

40
Q

T or F? The tooth should be dry for bulk contouring and wet for fine contouring when finishing.

A

F. wet for bulk, dry for fine

41
Q

Why does the Resin-enamel interface need to be undetectable?

A

surface staining, plaque accumulation, wear characteristics

42
Q

Problem encountered when dry finishing:

A

disk gets clogged with abrasive particles, less efficient

43
Q

What color disk should we start w in this project?

A

orange

44
Q

Which disks are for polishing?

A

the 2 yellow

45
Q

Do the polishing disks work better when stiffer or more flexible?

A

flexible

46
Q

What are the finishing and polishing cups impregnated with?

A

abrasive materials

47
Q

Advantage of rubber points and cups over disks:

A

access o grooves, O anatomy, and concave lingual surfaces of the ant teeth

48
Q

Should the blue diacomp polisher be used with or without water?

A

with (medium)

49
Q

Should the grey diacomp polisher be used with or without water?

A

slow w o (fine)

50
Q

How many shapes and grit sizes of astropol (ivoclar vivadent) polishers are there?

A

4: small and large flames, cup, disk, 3 grit sizes

51
Q

T or F? The astropol polishing cups should never be used with water.

A

F. Use w and rinse bw grits

52
Q

Do we need polishing paste with the astropol polishing system?

A

no

53
Q

What are engrained within the fibers of the astrobrush polishers?

A

silicon carbide (high gloss polishing)

54
Q

What are the astropol cusp made of?

A

silicon rubber and aluminum oxide

55
Q

T or F? The astropol cusp wear quickly and need to be replaced as soon as the outer layer of silicon carbide is worn down.

A

F. as bristles are worn, fresh abrasive medium is exposed on the surface

56
Q

What are finishing strips made of?

A

metal or plastic

57
Q

What are metal finishing strips used for?

A

gross reductions, usually amalgam

58

RBC restos

59
Q

T or F? Rinse bw grits of the inter proximal strips.

A

T

60
Q

At what angle should you used the #12 scalpel blade?

A

45’

61
Q

12 scalpel blade is good for:

A

interproximal gingival excess remoal

62
Q

What does the selection of the appropriate finishing and polishing system depend on?

A

contouring vs. polishing/ flat vs. curved surface

63
Q

A

Class II and Class III

69
Q

What may result if we leave remaining composite past the bevel before we polymerize?
