The ICDAS uses __________ assessment, NOT sharp instruments.
visual
What ICDAS categories are in the moderate caries management stage?
ICDAS 3-5
Which ICDAS categories are in the severe caries management stage?
ICDAS 6
What ICDAS categories are in the initial caries management stage?
ICDAS 0-2
What is the cavosurface margin?
The junction of a prepared wall and external surface of the tooth
where the CAVITY preparation meets the ORIGINAL tooth surface
What is a line angle?
line between two points
junction of two walls
What is a point angle?
junction of three lines/walls
What is the outline form?
external outline of the tooth surface to be included in the prep along the cavosurface margin
What is retension form?
prevention of restoration displacement
What is convenience form?
access and visibility
What is resistance form?
prevention of restoration (and/or tooth) fracture from occlusal forces
What is the mesio-distal angulation of mandibular teeth?
Bur is tipped lingually
Why are buccal/lingual walls parallel to slightly truncated on the long axis of the crown?
help in retention
avoid damaging the pulp
What is the 6th gen self etch technique?
self etching primer and adhesive separate
What is the 7th gen adhesive system?
etch, primer, adhesive combined into one
What is the selective etch technique?
35-37% phosphoric acid etch
etchant only on enamel
rinse off after 15 seconds
dry
Why do we scrub the scotchbond onto the preparation for 20 seconds?
To ensure the adhesive gets into the grooves created by the etch
What are the components of the ultradent wetting resin?
45% filled resin
no solvents
does not inhibit polymerization
use very small amount
prevents composite from sticking to instrument
What are neoshine polishers?
designed to polish nanocomposite
