| 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 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 |
