Q

Do tooth stains cause disease?

A

No, they are not an etiological factor for diseases within the oral cavity and
therefore, removal of stains is for esthetic purposes only

Q

What does
polishing do?
(4)

A
  • Removes extrinsic stain and plaque
  • Smooth out the tooth surface
  • Improves esthetic appearance

Q

What effect does polishing
have on teeth?
(2)

A
  • Removes fluoride-rich enamel layer
  • Abrades dentin/cementum
17
Q

Negatives of Polishing
(4)

A

Aerosol production
Bacteremia Produces heat
Tooth surface abrasion
Tissue trauma

18
Q

Contraindications
of Polishing
(7)

A

No extrinsic stain
Hypersensitivity
Decalcified/carious lesion
Cementum/dentin exposure
Fixed crowns (zirconia, gold, etc. require a
specialty paste)
Newly erupted teeth
Gingival or periodontal inflammation (do not
polish after scaling/root planing!)

19
Q

Rate of Abrasion
(4)

A
  • Quantity (more particles applied = faster rate of abrasion)
  • Speed of application (higher speed of handpiece=faster rate of abrasion)
  • Pressure applied (greater the pressure=faster rate of abrasion)
  • Quality of abrasives (dry abrasives are contraindicated)
20
Q

Polishing Agents
(used in the lab)
(3)

A
  • Pumice (coarse or laboratory grade)
  • Rouge (iron oxide)
  • Emery (corundum)
21
Q

Polishing Agents
(used intra-orally for stain removal)
(3)

A
  • Pumice (flour of pumice, FFF)
  • Silicon dioxide
  • Tin oxide (good for gold)
22
Q

Composition
of Prophy
Paste
(6)

A

Abrasives (50-60%)
Water (10-20%)
Humectant (20-24%)
Binder (1.5-2%)
Sweetener
Flavoring

23
Q

Variety of
Prophy Paste

A

Fine, medium, coarse grit are available

24
Q

What do you
need to polish?
(6)

A
  • Slow speed handpiece WITH torque converter
  • Disposable prophy angle
  • Prophy paste
  • Saliva ejector
  • Air/water syringe
  • 2x2 gauze

How to Polish Teeth
(5)

A

Fill rubber cup with
prophy paste
1
Apply paste to 2-3
teeth
2
Engage rheostat with
foot, then apply rubber
cup to tooth surfaces
for 1-2 seconds
3
Use a patting or
intermittent stroke
4
Apply slight pressure to
flare rubber cup into
subgingival sulcus and
interproximal region,
just slightly
5

26
Q

Polishing Stroke
(3)

A

Divide tooth into thirds
1
Apply cup with moderate pressure
at cervical areas and sweep off
tooth toward incisal/occlusal edges
2
Stroke should be intermittent; do
not keep cup on tooth as excess
heat will be generated and can
cause burns on gingival margin

28
Q

29
Q

— teeth after polishing to remove any remaining plaque/prophy paste debris

A
