Operative II Flashcards
After caries risk, describe the 3 Phases of Treatment Prioritization:
Phase I: Emergency infection, pt discomfort, prevention, gingival health, and sealants
Phase II: Simple restorations
Phase III: Complex restorations

T/F
In the pain response, neuropeptides are released and vasodilation occurs, following by Odontoblastic swelling and closing of the Dentinal Tubule. From here, minor fluid changes distend odontoblasts and create pain.
True
T/F
Pulp is made up of mostly pain fibers
True
Name 4 causes of Pulpal Inflammation.
Dessication (drying)
Heat (bur friction)
Osmotic changes (sweets)
Bacterial (endotoxin, invasion, etc)
Drilling depths closer than ___ mm affect the pulp more severely.
2 mm
Where are dentinal tubules smallest?
Largest?
DEJ
Pulp
T/F
Coolants are mandatory for Diamond Burs
True
*abrade, cause subsurface cracks

True
T/F
Leaning forward causes 40% increase in pressure on spine
True
T/F
Your neck should be limited to a flexion of ___ degrees.
20
T/F
One reason to use a rubber dam is to reduce humidity when bonding restorations
True
T/F
Endodontic procedures may or may not use a rubber dam
False
*mandatory!!
T/F
Most dentists dam to the ipsilateral cuspid, but he contralateral cuspid is ideal (and what is used in skoo)
True
’s for rubber dam clamps on Molars
Premolar

You could use a symmetrical clamp for a maxillary molar, but never use ________ for a mandibular molar.
Assymetrical
- Lower molars are symmetrical
- *Upper molars are asymmetrical
1 hole is used for _____.
2 hole in the punch table is used for ______
Max incisors
Mand incisors
T/F
The Isolite system is an alternative to a Rubber Dam
True
Sealants can either be _____ or ______.
Unfilled Resin (Bis-GMA)
Filler in Resin (quartz/silica)
*filler usually less than 50%
Sealants 2 types of cure:
Chemical (auto polymerizing 2 components)
Light cured (20 seconds - held at least 1 mm from tooth)
What % of children 6-19 have dental caries in permanent teeth?
Of these, what’s the high risk breakdown?
42%
20% had 80% caries
T/F
Sealants are underused
True
The sealant prevalence on permanent teeth of children is about _____%
30
T/F
Sealants reduce caries 60-75% at 4 years
True
The detection of early lesions should be discovered via _____, not _____.
Radiographs
Explorers
***however, no radiograph should be given solely to determine sealant placing. Caries Risk Assessment primary.
A sealant can be placed if the occlusal surface of a posterior tooth has a noncavitated carious lesion with a ____________.
White demineralization line
*around margins
Name 6 risk factors used for sealant use criteria.
Age
Oral hygiene
Current caries or hx
Diet
Fluoride hx
Tooth type/morphology
T/F
Certain people have the particular tooth morphology of Deep Pits/Fissures, putting them at high caries risk
True

*memorize this question
1 - Lower Molars (50%)
2 - Upper Molars (35-40%)
