Q

Couple

A

Produced by putting an equal force on the F & L in opposite directions
* causes a clockwise rotation of the tooth

If the tooth is at an odd angle–>Counter clockwise rotation

Q

Banding Indications

A
  • Heavy forces are planned (ex: going to use Headgear)
  • Short clinical crowns
  • Rotation control (COUPLE) needed (Rotatio of the tooth is needed)
  • Extensive restorations are present(porcelain, gold or amalgam)

Q

Indications for Bonding vs Bonding ALL TEETH

A

Bonding:
* When orthodontically treating malocclusion

Bonding ALL TEETH:
* Guarding against Decreased oral hygiene
* No need for heavy twisting or shearing forces during treatment (Ex: Headgear treatment)

Q

What is the function of etch?

A

30-40% Phosphoric acid
* forms microscopic irregularities
* Increase Bonding SA
* create mechanical tags in the enamel (Enamel Tags?)

Q

Boone Guage

A

Bracket positioning guage
* Proper position of bracket on tooth
* measures the distance from the slot of the bracket to the prescribed vertical height (Non-abraded incisal edge)

Ensures the bracket is placed:
* in the center mesiodistally
* Centrally aligned w/the long axis of the tooth

Q

What is the ideal camera for dental use? Why?

A

DSLR Cameera (Digital Single Reflex)
Major Advantage: Eliminates Parallax
* bc the view finder, lens, and image sensor have the same optical axis
* What you see in the view finder is identical to what is recorded on the image

17
Q

What are some factors that influence image quality?

A
  1. Magnification
  2. Inherent object details
  3. Degree of the Trained Eye
  4. Visual acuity and acutance
  5. Psychological perception of detail
  6. circle of confusion
  7. Distance of viewing
  8. Vewing media
18
Q

What is the ideal magnification? What does it mean?

A

1:1 magnification=ideal
* tranlsates to above 4 maxillary incisors
* the image recorded by the sensor is the same size as the object in real life

19
Q

What is the key factor for high resolution images?

A

High quality lens

20
Q

Pixels

A

number of pixels:
* determines the size of a digital image, Not image quality
* is significant when enalarging and image or enlarg. a part of an image. More pixels are required to avoid deterioration of the image quality. For dental Photography=6 MegaPixels

21
Q

Aperature color

A
  • Colour of a space
  • ex: Blue sky
22
Q

What is the objective measure of sharpness?

A

Acutence:
* physical measurement of sharpness
* use denlitometer
* Objective, not influenced by subjective

23
Q

Psychological perception of details

A

Varies from individual to individual and intra-individual

An individual will see what his/her brain wants to perceive
* might perceive the same image differently at differnt times, depending on state of mind
