Week 2 Class I and V Preparations Flashcards
what are tools you can use for isolation
-rubber dam
- cotton rolls
- retraction cord
- isovac
how deep are ideal preparations into dentin
0.2-0.5 mm
what is the traditional teaching technique about the outline form of an amalgam preparation
the prep must not terminate in the bottom of a fissured pit or groove
where is contact broken on class II amalgams
facially and lingually
what is retention form
what retains the restoration
what is amalgam held in by
converging walls and/or retention grooves
what is resistance form
elements in the design of a tooth prep that will help restoration and tooth resist fracturing
what makes a restored tooth less likely to fracture
- maintaining as much tooth structure as possible
- having some areas on the floor of a multi surface preparation that are perpendicular to occlusal forces
- rounding internal line angles
- smoothly rounding outline form
what factors are important to keep in mind when preparing to proper depth
-never leave enamel on the floor of a prep
- never leave a partial depth ledge on the enamel wall of an occlusal prep
where is a buccal pit amalgam class 1 located
in occlusal 2/3 of molar tooth
what depth should a buccal pit class 1 be
1.8 mm
how much do walls at the terminal ends of buccal and lingual grooves in a class 1 diverge
3 degrees
how much do walls in the isthmus area converge
3 degrees on each side
how big is the isthmus width on a class 1 prep
1 mm minumum
how much do walls adjacent to marginal ridges diverse
3 degrees
why diverge the mesial/ distal wall adjacent to the marginal ridge
leaves dentin support for the ridge in this area
what should the occlusal amalgam depth be in relation to DEJ
.2 mm inside DEJ
