Q

In addition to the use of cleaning or polishing agents during polishing procedures, stains can also be removed during ____ and______ instrumentation.

A

root

debridement

21
Q

Summary of CONTRAINDICATIONS for Polishing

A
  • no visible stain
  • patients with respiratory problems
  • tooth sensitivity
  • restorations
  • Conditions That Require Postponement for Later Evaluation
22
Q

Because of the extremely low level of abrasion, cleaning agents can be used on any tooth surface, _____ surface, or _____ surface without fear of creating deep scratches.

A

restorative

implant

23
Q

these agents act by producing scratches in the surface of the tooth or restoration created by the friction between the abrasive particle and the softer tooth or restorative surface.

A

polishing agents

24
Q

The cleaning and polishing process progresses from ____abrasion to ___ abrasion until the scratches are smaller than the wavelength of visible light, which is ___ μm.24

A

coarse
fine

0.05

25
Q

Unless the abrasive agent has been specially formulated for esthetic restorative surfaces, the use of prophylaxis polishing pastes is __________for application to any esthetic restorative surfaces

A

contraindicated

26
Q

the use of dry agents is contraindicated for polishing natural teeth because of the potential danger of ____ injury to the dental pulp.

A

thermal

27
Q

When cleaning and polishing are indicated after patient evaluation, the following are observed:

A

Use wet agents.
Apply a rubber polishing cup, using low speed.
Use a light, intermittent touch.

28

is of volcanic origin and consists chiefly of complex silicates of aluminum, potassium, and sodium.
This abrasive agent is the primary ingredient in commercially prepared prophylaxis pastes. The specifications for particle size are listed in the National Formulary

30
Q

Not used directly on the enamel.

Aluminum oxide (alumina): the pure form of emery. Used for composite restorations and margins of porcelain restorations.

A

low

5000 rpm speed

36
Q

this cup is used for for removal of stains from the tooth surfaces and polishing restorations.

A

rubber cup

37

A

brush

38
Q

is used for removing stains and biofilm from proximal surfaces, embrasures, and around orthodontic bands and brackets.

A

rubber polishing point

39
Q

USE OF THE PROPHYLAXIS ANGLE

Effects on Tissues: Clinical Considerations

A
  • can cause discomfort to patent
  • tactile sensitivity is diminished
  • Trauma to the gingival tissue can result from too high a speed
  • Tissue damage and the need for antibiotic premedication for risk patients
40
Q

this system use air, water, and specially formulated powders to deliver a controlled spray that propels the particles to the tooth surface.

A

air powder polishing

41
Q

was the original powder used in air-powder polishing.

A

sodium bicarbonate

42
Q

less abrasive than traditional prophylaxis pastes, which makes the air-powder polisher ideal for stain and biofilm removal

A

are thin, flexible, and tape-shaped.

used for stain removal on proximal surfaces of anterior teeth; when other techniques are unsuccessful.

A

finishing strips

44
Q

is a manual instrument designed especially for extrinsic stain removal or application of treatment agents such as for hypersensitive areas.

It is constructed to hold a wood point at a contra-angle. T

A

porte polisher

45
Q
  • useful for instrumentation of difficult-to-access surfaces of the teeth, especially malpositioned teeth.
  • No heat generation, no noise compared with powered handpieces, and minimal production of aerosols.
  • is readily portable and therefore is useful in any location, for example, for a bed bound patient.
A

porte polisher

46
Q

A
  • cleaning agent

- polishing agent
