A | B |
resin material applied to pits and fissures | denatal sealant |
the process of changing a simple chemical into another substance that contains the same elements | polymerization |
a type of material that is polymerized by a chemical reaction | self-cured |
a type of meterial that is polymerized by a curing light | light cured |
a process used to open fissures before sealant placement | microabraion |
a sealant product that does not contain filler particles | unfilled rezin |
a microscopic leakage at the interface of the tooth structure and the sealant or restoration | microleakage |
salt or ester of acrylic acid | acrylate |
a sealant firmly adheres to a tooth surface because of | sealant retention |
purpose of dental sealants | prevent denatal caries/decay in the pits and fissures |
whay are pits and fissures susceptible to caries | these areas are difficult to clean and flouride is less effective in these areas |
what are the ways for sealant materials to harden | polymerization, light curing, self curing |
why is clear sealant material less desirable | it is more difficult to evaluate |
what is the difference between filled and unfilled sealants | filled sealants are wear resistant, are stronger and last longer |
dental prevention includes | use of flouride, dietary considerations, plaque control, sealants and regular dental exams |
where are sealants placed | pits and fissures |
what is the range of shelf life of sealant materials | 18 to 36 months |
what patient safety precautions should be considered when placing sealants | patients should wear protective eyewear and avoid contact of etchant with soft tissue |
what is the main cause of sealant failure | moisture contamination |
when will most sealant failures occur | 3 to 6 months |
self-cured sealants polymerize to final set within how many minutes | 2 minutes |
disclosing agent | coloring agent applied to teeth to make plaque visible |
systemic flouride | swallowed and travels throughout body |
topical flouride | applied directly to teeth |
most common dental disease | cries |
flouride combats decay by | slows demineralization and enhancing remineralization |
what dental condition is result of too much flouride | flourosis |
what is key dietary factor related to dental caries | carbohydrates |
what type of toothbrush bristels are recommended | soft bristled |
modified bass method | method of toothbrushing preferred |
type of dental floss most effective | both waxed and unwaxed |
whan are composites used | Class III or IV restoration because canines and incisros are so visible for esthetic purposes |
Class III | affects interproximal surfaces (mesaila or diatal) of incisors and canines |
Class IV | Affects larger surface (mesial or diatal) which includes incisal edge of and interproximal surfaces of ins=cisors and canine |
When selecting shade of the composite resin | use natural lighting and involve patient in selection |
dental dam is moisture control preferred for III and IV restorations because | provides better retraction and gingival tissue and maintains a drier environment |
What is purpose of the mylar matrix system | replaces missing wall of cavity preparation and helps with conouring process in restoration process |
primer and bonding resin are light cured | according to manufacturer instrcutions |
Class III and IV composite restorations use what mylar matrix strip | clear |
where are sectional bands disposed of | sharps containers |
composite placeent instrument is used for | carry composite material fro cavity prep; to place, condense, and carve composite material in cavity prep |
composite burnisher function | form occlusal anatomy in composite restorations; acheives final contouring of anatomy, pits, fissures and grooves |
acorn burnisher | has a gold titanium nitirde coating that does not scratch, stick, or discolor composite material |
composite burnisher | titanium nitride coating |
applicator use | apply conditioning, primer, and bonding material to cavity prep; used with bonding, sealants and orthodontic band brackets |
applicator and composite wells are disposed of in | garbage |
composite material well | holds etchant, primers, bonding and composite |
curing light | harden light cured materials bonding, composite, sealants |
what increments are materials bonded in | 2mm or less to ensure complete setting |
protective shield | must be worn to protect eyes during light curing |
L.E.D and halogen radiometers | used to test the visible light output of LED and Halogen curing lights |
Halogen radiometer is what color | white |
LED radiometer is what color | Blue |
what happens if there is loss of light output of curing light | effects amount of time needed (takes longer) to cure dental material |
finishing strip | finish and smooth interproximal surfaces of restoration |
Class I restoration | one surface lesion involves pit and fissures of tooth |
Class II restoration | extension of class I cavity onto proximal surface of the premolars and molars |
1. periostial elevator | detach gingival tissues around the neck of the tooth |
2. Straight elevator | loosen tooth from the periodontal ligament/ Root Tip Picks removes the root tips |
3. 150 forceps | extraction on Maxillary |
4. 151 forceps | extraction on Mandibular |
5. Cowhorn forceps | extraction |
6. Surgical curette | used following the extraction,removes diseased tissue or abscesses |
7. Rongeur | has a spring between the handles and the blade, used to trim the alveolar bone |
8. bone file | used after the rongeur to smooth rough margins of the alveolus after the extraction |
9. Scalpel | surgical knife used to make a precise incision into the soft tissue |
10. Hemostat | multipurpose instruments that are used to grasp and hold things |
11. Needle holder | looks and operates similarly to a hemostat, used to grasp a suture needle firmly |
12. Surgical scizzors | straight or curve blades used to trim soft tissue |
13. Suture scizzors | used to cut only suture material designed with a small notch on the cutting edge |
14. Cheek and tongue retractor | hold and retract the cheeks and tongue during surgical procedure |
15. Mouth prop or bite block | allows the patient to rest and relax the jaw muscles |
16. Surgical chisel | used to remove or reshape bone if needed |
17. Surgical mallet | used to remove or reshape bone if needed |
