45
Q

Do tooth stains cause disease?

A

No, they are not an etiological factor for diseases, and removal of stains is for esthetic purposes only

46
Q

What does polishing do? (4)

A
  1. removes extrinsic stain and plaque
  2. smoothes out tooth surface
  3. improves aesthetic appearance
  4. aids in prepping the tooth prior to bonding
47
Q

Removes fluoride rich enamel layer and abrades dentin/cementum

48
Q

The negatives of polishing include: (5)

  5. Fixed crowns
  6. Newly erupted teeth
  7. Gingival or periodontal inflammation (NO polishing after SRP)
50
Q
