What are the advantages and disadvantages of displacement paste?
Advantages of the system include good hemostasis with less discomfort than traditional cord. However, less tissue displacement is achieved than with cord, which may make die trimming more problematic. Improved displacement may be achieved if the paste is directed into the sulcus by applying pressure with a hollow cotton roll.
What is the difference between drying a tooth and desiccating a tooth?
Desiccation is losing water via evaporation, drying (not losing water)

What does Decreased Axial Wall Taper do to resistance?
Increases it
What is the indirect-direct procedure for interim restorations? Advantages?
In this technique the indirect component produces a “custom-made preformed ESF” similar to a pre- formed polycarbonate crown. In most cases, the practitioner uses a custom ESF with an underprepared diagnostic cast as the TSF. The resulting mold forms a shell that, after tooth preparation, is lined with additional resin (the patient serving as the TSF). This last step is the direct component of the procedure. Another method of creating the shell eliminates the need for an indirect TSF. It is accomplished by painting monomer liquid into the ESF and care- fully sprinkling or blowing resin powder on it. The thickness of the resin shell is difficult to control with this technique, however, and may result in the need for time-consuming corrective grinding. The indirect-direct approach has these ad- vantages: 1. Chairside time is reduced. Most of the procedures have been completed before the patient’s visit. 2. Less heat is generated in the mouth. The volume of resin used during lining is comparatively small. 3. Contact between the resin monomer and soft tissues is minimized in comparison with the direct procedure. Because pontic ridge areas do not normally require lining, there is reduced risk of allergic reaction. However, even with the diagnostic cast method, adjustments are frequently needed to seat the shell completely on the prepared tooth. This is the chief disadvantage of the indirect-direct procedure.
What is the best luting agent for cementation of an interim restoration?
Zinc oxide eugenol, doesn’t bond that strong to make it easier to get it off in the end.
An undercut is?
The axial reduction near the gingival is greater than the occlusal. Answer is B.
What is the relationship between the size of the monomer molecule and exothermic heat and physical strength? And what do fillers do?
In general, the greater the size of the monomer molecule, the less is the exothermic heat of reaction on setting and the lower the physical strength of the set mass. An increase in filler content reduces the relative amounts of exothermic heat and contraction while increasing the strength of the set material.

Electrosurgery facts:
- The electrode should be passed rapidly through the tissue with a single light stroke and kept moving at all times. 8. If the tip drags, the instrument is at too low a setting, and the current should be increased. 9.

How does reversible hydrocolloid differ from elastomeric impression material when it comes to accuracy and bulk?
The accuracy of a reversible hydrocolloid impression is improved if the material has as much bulk as possible (low surface area/volume ratio). This contrasts with the elastomeric impression materials, whose accuracy is improved by minimizing bulk (e.g., polysulfide and condensation silicone), because stresses produced during removal are reduced. Therefore, an additional advantage of reversible hydrocolloid is that a custom impression tray is not required.

What are the numbers needed for custom trays?
Resin thicknesses of 2 to 3 mm are needed for adequate rigidity. Clearance between the tray and the teeth should also be 2 to 3 mm; however, greater clearance is necessary for the more rigid polyether materials. The completed custom tray (Fig. 14-18O) needs to be rigid, with a consistent thickness of 2 to 3 mm. It should extend about 3 to 5 mm cervical to the gingival margins and should be shaped to allow muscle attachments. It should be stable on the cast with stops that can maintain an impression thickness of 2 or 3 mm. The tray must be smooth, with no sharp edges. Finally, the handle should be sturdy and shaped to fit between the patient’s lips (Fig. 14-26). To avoid distortion from continued polymeriza-ion of the resin,56 the tray should be made at least 9 hours before its use. When a tray is needed more urgently, it can be placed in boiling water for 5 minutes and allowed to cool to room temperature. A light-polymerized tray can also be made.
What is the main function of interim luting agent?
The primary function of the interim luting agent is to provide a seal, preventing marginal leakage and hence pulp irritation.

When is an electrosurgery unit used?
An electrosurgery unit15—18 (Fig. 14-9A) may be used for minor tissue removal before impression making. -In one technique,19 the inner epithelial lining of the gingival sulcus is removed, thus improving access for a subgingival crown margin (see Fig. 14-9B to F) and effectively controlling postsurgical hemorrhage20 (provided that the tissues are not inflamed). Unfor- tunately, there is the potential for gingival tissue recession after treatment.21 An electrosurgery unit works by passage of a high-frequency current (1 to 4 million Hz*) through the tissue from a large electrode to a small one. At the small electrode, the current induces rapid localized polarity changes that cause cell breakdown (“cutting”). For restorative procedures, an unmodulated alternating current is recommended, because it minimizes damage to deeper tissues.

What is the double-cord technique for gingival displacement?
With this technique, a thin cord is placed without overlap at the bottom of the gingival crevice. A second cord is placed on top to achieve lateral tissue displacement. The latter is removed immediately before impression making, whereas the initial cord is left in place to help minimize seepage.
How does a custom tray improve the accuracy of an elastomeric impression?
A custom tray improves the accuracy50 of an elas- tomeric impression by limiting the volume of the material, thus reducing two sources of error: stresses during removal and thermal contraction. Although reducing the bulk of an elastomeric impression material increases its accuracy, the opposite is true for reversible hydrocolloid impressions. In hydrocol- loid impressions, dimensional change is caused by water loss (or gain) from the surface of the impres- sion. A bulky hydrocolloid impression has a lower surface area/volume ratio and is therefore less subject to dimensional change.

What are the main advantages to indirect interim restorations over direct?
- There is no contact of free monomer with the pre- pared tooth or gingiva, which might cause tissue damage11 and an allergic reaction or sensitiza- tion. 2. The procedure avoids subjecting a prepared tooth to the heat evolved from polymerizing resin. 3. The marginal fit of interim restorations that have been polymerized undisturbed on stone casts is significantly better than that of interim restora- tions that have been removed from the mouth before becoming rigid. 4. When a dimensionally stable elastomer impres- sion is made to form the TSF,10 it can be retained for possible reuse with the ESF. This allows replacement restorations to be made without having the patient present. 5. The technique gives the patient a chance to rest, and it frees the dentist to perform other tasks, pro- vided that an auxiliary is trained to carry out the laboratory procedures.
What are the steps of an indirect technique for provisionals?

! Similar to “Indications” list, plus… ! Retention and resistance qualities can be excellent because all axial walls are included in the preparation ! Permits easy correction of axial form ! Also can be useful in making alterations to occlusal form ! Preparation is often less demanding on the operator than partial coverage options
What is the silicone technique involving putty material used to customize a stock impression tray?
Silicone impression material is available in a variety of viscosities. One technique involves a heavily filled putty material that is used to customize a stock impression tray in the mouth, generally with a polyethylene spacer. The spacer allows room for a thin wash of light-bodied material, which makes the impression. The tech- nique requires considerable care in seating, however, to prevent strain in the set putty. If this happens, the impression rebounds when removed from the mouth, which results in dies that are too small.

PVS, or VPS, Polyvinylsiloxane. - The base paste consists of polymethylhydrosiloxane, divinylpolysiloxane and a filler - The accelerator paste contains divinylpolysiloxane and a platinum salt catalyst - The setting reaction is based upon the addition polymerization between divinylpolysiloxane and polymethylhydrosiloxane - Historically, some addition silicone products were found to release H2 gas as a by-product ! Most now employ a scavenger such as palladium which absorbs H2 gas - H2 gas can create bubbles in stone if impression is poured too soon - Best to simply avoid addition silicones that realease H2 gas - Can be used with implants
What is the biologic width?
Biologic width is the distance established by “the junctional epithelium and connective tissue attachment to the root surface” of a tooth.[1] In other words, it is the height between the deepest point of the gingival sulcus and the alveolar bone crest. This distance is important to consider when fabricating dental restorations, because they must respect the natural architecture of the gingival attachment if harmful consequences are to be avoided. The biologic width is patient specific and may vary anywhere from 0.75-4.3 mm. Should be about 1:2 ratio
How can addition silicones become more hydrophillic?
Some formulations contain surfactants, which give them hydrophilic properties,45 imparting wettability similar to that of the poly- ethers.46 However, these products also expand like polyether when in contact with moisture.47 Addition silicone is generally used as a two-viscosity system, although monophase formulations are also available. It is easier to trap bubbles when the monophase formulation is used.
Diagnostic tooth preparation, if you re doing one, they are done before the final impression, they can be helpful when contemplating making changes in axial inclination, occlusion, and used in conjunction with diagnostic wax up. What is the only wrong option for this question?
The only wrong one is that they are not done after the preparation on the actual tooth.
