Q

48
Q

Means of retention for cast metal

A
  • Close parallelism of the opposing walls with slight occlusal
    divergence of 2 – 5%
  • Making occlusal dovetail to prevent tilting of restoration in class II preparations
  • Use of secondary retention (if dentin is thick enough, extra grooves put in to give more surface area) in the form of coves, skirts and dentin slots.
49
Q

micro mechanical bonding between the etched and primed prepared tooth structure and composite resin, enamel bevels

50

the form in which the dentist must create to facilitates and provides adequate visibility, accessibility and ease of operation during preparation and restoration of the tooth. (So you can access it)

51
Q

How does pulpal injury occur during prep?

A
  • Heat production from hand pieces
    *Irritating restorative materials
  • Galvanic currents from dissimilar metals
  • Excessive masticatory forces transmitted through restorative materials to the dentin
  • Micro-leakage
52
Q

liners, varnishes, and bases

53
Q

Grooves and Coves in Secondary Retentive Form

A

small depressions and grooves placed into healthy dentin to provide additional retention (slots, locks, skirts)

54
Q

The final step in tooth preparation is cleansing of the preparation.

A
  • Removal of debris
  • Irrigate the prep
  • Drying the preparation
  • Final inspection before placing restorative materials
  • Leaving debris in the preparation may result in microleakage which can result in secondary caries.
  • Cleaning of prep can be done by using warm water.
  • Immovable particles of debris can be removed with a small cotton
    pellet dampened with water or hydrogen peroxide.
