When adding addition increments after the first composite increment (1mm) you should NOT exceed ____ mm of material per increment
2mm
By starting with 1 mm increment of composite and then not exceeding 2mm on additional increments, this method minimizes _____ placed on the material and on the tooth due to ____.
stresses; polymerization shrinkage
A flat marginal ridge would ____ (and this is why is should be rounded)
shred floss
Finishing and polishing composites functions to:

- Establishes ____
- Ensures ____
- oxygen inhibited layer
- anatomy/final shape
- a smooth surface
What is one MAJOR difference between amalgam and composite restoration steps?
Finishing and polishing composite
_____ is nearly always on the buccal side of a class II amalgam preparation
reverse curve
A reverse S curve in a class II amalgam preparation improves:
resistance to amalgam fracture
(because it keeps the narrowest part of prep away from the axiopulpal line angle)
In a class II amalgam preparation, this feature allows the preparation to break contact while allowing the buccal wall to meet the tooth surface AT A 90 DEGREE EXIT ANGLE:
Reverse S curve
Wall clearances around a class II amalgam preparation:
- buccal contact is open:
- lingual contact is open:
- gingival contact is open:
- (0.2-0.5mm)
- (0.2-0.5)
- at least 0.5mm
Enamel rods in a class II amalgam preparation box are inclined:
gingivally
In a class II amalgam preparation, an “early” reverse S curve (starts too distal) will result in:
weakening the cusp
class II amalgam preparation, a flared too mesially reverse s-curve (late reverse s) leaves amalgam:
prone to fracture
What type of S-curve error in a class II amalgam preparation leaves the narrow part of prep adjacent to axiopulpal angle; and makes box walls flare causing obtuse cavosurface angles (weakening amalgam):
NO reverse s-curve
In a class II amalgam preparation, a concave axial wall with indistinct internal line angles compromises:
resistance & retention form
what are some contraindications to composite restorations?
