Q

Tooth #29 has total length of 24mm and crown length is 9mm, to file the middle 1/3 of root with wave one file would set the stop at:

A

19mm

15/3= 5

First 1/3: (9+5= 14)
Middle 1/3: (14+5 =19)
Apical 1/3: (19+5=24)

25
A straight file would cause a ledge on what wall of the curve?

26
Iatrogenic error means:
caused by the clinician
27
The mesial root of the mandibular molar occurs:
distal
28
Select the two teeth most likely to have two roots: a- max first premolar b- max second premolar c- mand first premolar d- mand seccond premolar
a&b
29
What is the shape of access for a maxillary central incisor?
Triangle with base at incisal
30
Master cone should only bind at:
working length
31
Why do we use a #15 file to radiograph?
because a #10 is too thin and we can see the #15 better
32
All are incorrect except:
Hand files do not need to be lubricated (canal needs to be irrigated following any active instrument)
33
What is a common mistake for boards?
Access
34
All requires an incident report except:
Too much NaOCl
35
A student doctor perforated the coronal part of the root. The pt only had pulpal symptoms before, but after that RCT, they had periapical symptoms. What do you do now?
1. carefully disinfect the area (NaOCl) 2. protect found canals with easily removable material 3. create easily removable temp seal over the perf using "cavit" or IRM 4. seal the tooth with secure temp 5. refer to endo
36
Patient presents with a maxillary first molar that has been previously treated with endo, however after a few years the P/A lesion has not healed. What is your diagnosis?
Missed MB2 canal; non-surgical pretreatment
37
Patient presents with a dilacerated root?
Retreat with endo (but refer this for endodontist to perform)
38
What canal is commonly missed in the maxillary first molar?
MB canal
39
Pt presents with fever and slight swelling. What is your PA diagnosis?
Acute apical abscess
40
Where do we bend irrigation syringe?
2 mm from the tip
41
There was a molar that had RCT a few weeks ago. PA symptoms now, and there was a possibility of perforation. What do you do?
Refer it to endo for tx possibilities and prognosis (due to possible perforation)
42
Person presents with a bump on their gums that appears to be a "pimple". What is your diagnosis and what should you do?
DST. Trace with gutta percha points on radiograph to determine tooth affected. RCT?
43
What do you need for the hydraulic technique?
BC sealer and .04 GP cone (single cone)
44
What do you need for cold lateral compaction (CLC) technique?
a. 0.02 cone, finger spreaders, accessory GP cones
45
What is the temp of the alpha phase? What is the temp of the beta phase?
Alpha: 42-44 Beta: below 42
46
What is the main component of gutta percha?
Zinc oxide
47
What do you use to get rid of dentin triangle?
.25/.12 vortex orfice opener
48
What size of files do you use for scouting?
#10
49
What bend do you have to do to get past curves
45 degree in last 1.5mm (maybe last 2mm)
50
When are you done with the vortex?
When you have white fillings on the apical 1/3
51
Where are you going to transport the canal?
Outer wall of canal
52
What is it when 2 canals from orifice turn into 1 canal at apex?
Type 2
53
Describe a type 2 canal:
two at ofrice, one at apex
54
How do you determines between a type 2 or type 3 canal?
Two file technique
55
The two file technique can help determine:
Type 2 and Type 3 canals
56
The single most important factor for RCT success is...
Case selection
57
T/F: WL is 1mm beyond the apex
False- 1mm shy of apex
58
What does the apex locator tell you?
Where the apex constricts/ when you've gone beyond the apex and out of the tooth
59
T/F: If you perforate: then dry carefully, put CaOH, then put cavit, then cotton, then temp restoration.
True
60
What's the main thing we use between appointments in the canals?
CaOH
61
Which one is transported easily
1. distal of mesial root in mandibular molars 2. MF of upper molars and upper premolars (with 2 roots)
62
27. Which one is the least likely to get transported?
mandibular premolar
63
What is the worst mistake to make?
Perforation
64
T/F: Iatrogenic errors can be prevented with education, care, etc.
True
65
Ledges can lead to:
Blockages, transportation, and perforation
66
T/F: After correct dx, there is never an excuse to do RCT on the wrong tooth
True
67
Which is not a consideration when deciding if you can do RCT?
NOT the color of the pulp
68
What do you use to get rid of smear layer?
EDTA
69
Something about how long the apical constriction is or something?
1mm
70
What's the purpose of a recall appointment?
1. to determine status of tooth (healed/diseased) 2. for documentation purposes 3. to see if further treatment is needed
71
What do you do after you take the WL radiograph?
Create glide path using #15 hand file
72
What do you do for a blow out?
shorten the working length and create more of a taper (you could use serial step back)
73
What is the preferred thing to fix perforations?
MTA
74
What file do you use for the buccal of maxillary premolar?
.30/.06
75
Primary consideration for RCT is all except:
esthetics
76
Why use wave one on every 1/3 of root?
Because they push debris ahead of the file
77
Shape of the maxillary central incisor access?
Triangle with base toward incisal
78
Obturate canal:
goes to WL
