Operative dent (restorative) Flashcards
Rake angle determines what?
Rake Angle determines how aggressively the bur will cut. Most high speeds rely on speed and use a negative Rake angle, dragging the cutting surface to cut the tooth Slow speed burs sometimes have a positive Rake angle
Large diamond particles is for: very fine diamond particles is for:
Large diamond particles is for aggressive CUTTING Small diamond particles is for POLISHING
material used in high speed (2) =
- Tungsten carbide 2. diamond
material used in slow speed (2) =
- Tungsten carbide 2. Steel
Operative dentistry restores (3):
Form Function Esthetics
conservative dentistry:
preparing and restoring tooth with as little damage to healthy surrounding tooth structure, increasing long term function
Periodontal structures include (3):
Periodontal ligament Bone gingiva
3 common choices of restorative material:
Gold Amalgam Composite
2 most common caries-forming bacteria
Strep Mutans Lactobacillus spp.
Caries development requires 4 fundamental aspects
- Tooth 2. Plaque (bacteria) 3. Food (diet) 4. Time
G.V. Black Class I
Pits and fissures of teeth
lesion in Pits and fissures are Class ?
Class I
G.V. Black Class II
interproximal contact of posterior teeth
lesion in interproximal contact of posterior tooth is class?
Class II
G.V. Black Class III
interproximal contact of anterior teeth
lesion in interproximal contact of anterior tooth is class?
Class III
G.V. Black Class IV
interproximal contact of anterior teeth involving incisal corner
lesion in interproximal contact of anterior tooth that involves incisal corner is a class?
Class IV
G.V. Black Class V
Gingival 1/3 of tooth on buccal or lingual surface of any tooth
lesion on the buccal or lingual surface of a tooth in the gingival 1/3rd is a class?
Class V
G.V. Black Class VI
incisal edge of anterior tooth OR worn cusp tip of posterior tooth
lesion on incisal edge of anterior tooth is a class?
Class VI
lesion on worn down cusp of posterior tooth is a class
Class VI
What are these restorations?
Both are Class II (interproximal of posteriors)
What class?
Class V (gingival of buccal or lingual)
What class of lesion?
Class I (pits and fissures)
What class of amalgam?
Class II - because it involves interproximal posterior of tooth
what class lesion?
class III - interproximal of anterior tooth
What class?
Class IV - interproximal contact involving incisal edge
What class caries?
Class V - gingival 1/3 on buccal (or lingual)
What class of erosion?
Class VI - incisal edge of anterior
This is erosion and not caries, but it still follows the same classification system
Note: It can be worn cusp tipe of posterior
Why do we use rubber dams (4 points)?
- Moisture control
- saliva contamination
- endo work must be sterile
- dry field for proper bonding
- Protective barrier (patient and doctor)
- aspiration, choking, and bad tastes
- reduced infectious aerosols
- Isolation of teeth
* for increased access and visibility - Retraction and access
- papilla and gingiva retraction
- keep lips, tongue and cheeks out of way
- soft tissue protection
Advantages to rubber dam
Disadavantages
- speeds up work
- keeps mouth open
- reduced aspiration risk
- more efficient than cotton roll
- lattex allergy
- claustrophobia
- time required to place dam
Retraction Clamps
- flatter jaws
- hold gingiva out of way
