Midterm Review Flashcards
Palodent should be placed:
1mm above margin of adjacent tooth
What does a cure through matrix do?
Acheives best contours
When do you re-etch?
- if contamimated
- if it doesn’t appear etched
How much do you break the facial contact in a class III?
.25 mm (to allow for matrix band & good esthetics)
What type of composites are used at UMKC?
Nanohybrids
What is NOT true about an S curve?
Makes walls diverge
What do the methacrylate monomers in bulk fill do?
relieve stress
What do you use for a class III?
Mylar strips
What is true about the smaller tip when lightcuring?
Smaller tip = increased heat & output
Elastic modulous also means:
stiffness
Couples filler with resin (coupling agent):
silane
Axiopulpal line angle is _____ in amalgam to improve _____
beveled; resistance
Camforquinone is a _____ and is activated by _____
activator; blue light
What would you recommend to a patient with sensitivity?
Toothpaste with KNO3 (maybe glumma)
T/F: It is okay to leave unsupported enamel in a class III prep
True (on the facial wall)
Order of composite restoration:
- etch
- bond
- fill
- finish
- polish
Reason for box only prep:
To conserve tooth structure
What class has the highest C factor?
- Class I
- Class II
- Class III
Reason for doing flowable at the bottom of the box:
To improve gingival margin seal
What should you do if you have a heavy occlusal contact on the lingual of a class III or class IV:
Do NOT bevel lingual margin? maybe sandpaper strips
Main reason for etching:
Increase SA and surface energy
Purpose of beveling the gingival margin:
Exposes enamel rods
What could result from composite sticking to tool?
void
Order from softest to hardest:
Cemuntum –> dentin –> enamel
Increasing the filler in composite leads to:
increasing strength & decreased shrinkage
Most esthetic for Class III & Class IV:
Microfill (hybrid)
What needs to be done prior to putting on rubber dam?
Check shade selection
What teeth do you isolate with rubber dam?
one tooth posterior & two teeth anterior
When you have two adjacent preps, you should:
Prep largest first, but restore the smallest first
Incremental layers of composite creates:
Less stress
Improper wedging can result in:
Gingival inflammatio
What restoration error would result in gingival irritation?
Overcontoured restoration
What is the reason to choose composite over amalgam:
esthetics
Why do you want a good path of entry:
Bonding will be better (may direction of enamel rods)
What should you consider when choosing between amalgam & composite?
- diet
- placement of caries
- ability to isolate
(NOT family history of MS)
