Operative lecture 1 Flashcards
Enamel, Dentin, Pulp characteristics
Enamel: Very brittle
Dentin: more ductile, deforms before it breaks after pressure.
Pulp: Connective tissue
Carious vs. Non carious
Carious: Bacterial infection, diseased tissue has to be removed, precise cavity prep needed.
Non-carious: loss of surface tooth structure due to mechanical or chemical factors..
Example: Attrition, abrasion, erosion, abfraction –> all chemical loss of tooth surface.
Direct restoration (give example) vs. Indirect restoration
Direct: Dental material placed in soft state directly in cavity prep to restore contour before it sets hard. (algams, composite)
Indirect: Restoration fabricated outside oral cavity and then cemented or bonded to the tooth.
2-medium speed?
3-high speed?
- Slow speed?
12,000-20,000rpm
> 200,000 rpm (removes older restorations, cavity prep)
most common connector line?
4 hole
High speed handpiece
fixed coupler, and head
Slow speed handpiece
Contra angled attachment –> intra oral procedures
Straight attachment –> always used for extra oral proecdures (smooth crown finish/polish)
3- friction grip head
uses friction grip type bur (shorter shanks than latch type)
2-latch type head
accepts only latch end burs
latch end burs are larger in diameter than the friction grip burs
What direction to attach bur on bur tool type/bur changing wrench?
Clockwise to attach bur
Rotary cutting instruments:
head
stainless steal
Rotary cutting instruments:
Shank
straight/long
slow speed contragled latch type
friction grip design
Larger diameter
Rotary instruments–Bladed instruments (burs)
- excavating
2. finishing
1-carbride for blade cutting (bladed instruments)
- blades..tungsten carbrdie blanks ground to the desired shape. Harder/stronger than stainless steal but BRITTLE
- Uses: Intracoronal prep (going through enamel/dent shovel into tooth
Other abrasives (Non cutting-Not diamond)
Coated
discs attached to handpieces for finishing restorations
