Q

Retainer (clamps) function

A

provide a stable anchor for the system at the most distal aspect

31
Q

Components of retainers

A
Prongs (4)
Holes (2 usually)
Bow
Jaw
Wings (not on all)
32
Q

Tooth retainer goes on

A

most distal tooth that is in operating window

33
Q

Function of wings on retainers

A

hold the RD out of the way during placement and operation, but can restrict restorative access

34
Q

Number of prongs engaged with tooth?

A

4 prong-helps pick the retainer

35
Q

Function of the frame of a retainer

A

to hold and stretch the RD material to improve visibility and help create a space for access

36
Q

Engage the retainer where on the tooth?

A

below the height of contour-around the neck of the tooth is best

37
Q

Punch funtion (RD)

A

Place holes in the RD material

38
Q

Considerations when punching

A

conform to patients arch

39
Q

punch holes too close together

A

RD will stretch and result in gaps (leaking)

40
Q

Holes too far apart

A

RD will be bunched up and result in poor sealing (leaking)

41
Q

Autoclave RD Punch?

A

NO- will dull it

42
Q

Forcep function

A

utilize to place the retainer in position on the tooth and to remove the retainer after completion

43
Q

Lubricant function in RD

A

may be placed on the underside of the rubber dam to aid in placement-usually in difficult spors in interproximal

44
Q

Lubricant may be applied …. (2 scenarios)

What should not be used?

A

on underside of dam to aid in placement (for hard interproximals)

to a patients lips to aid in comfort-not vaseline

45
Q

Napkin function-I wish this was a joke

A

absorbs excess saliva, aids in patient comfort, some dams have a built in patient side

46
Q

alternative to vaseline that should be used

A

gel toothpaste

47
Q

a poor rubber dam may be ______ effective and, therefore, a ________ isolation method

A

less effective

less valuable

48
Q

Achieving adequate and effective _____ is of primary importance

A

Isolation

49
Q

Five Steps of Rubber Dam Usage

A

Determine the operating field

Prepare the RD

Select proper retainer

Place the RD

Remove the RD

50
Q

Aramentarium of dental dam (~9)

A
dam and frame
Rubber dam
Dental floss
Scisors
Dam templates
Forceps 
Retainers
Punch
51
Q

determining operating filed for post teeth

A

place a retainer (at least) one tooth distal to tooth you are working on and cross the midline with the holes
(ex restore tooth 29 and place on 31 to 21)

52
Q

Ant tooth RD placement

A

place from 1st bicuspid to 1st bicuspid

53
Q

Number of retainers used in RD placement for ant

A

One must be used

Two may be used

Q

Why might canines be a poor tooth to terminate on?

A

morphology

Use a powdered dam powder goes which way

A

Down towards patient
