(155 cards)
two cavities should not be combined unless the separating ridge is less than
0.5mm
when can you extend into the oblique ridge of 1st maxillary molars
if its undermined by caries
isthmus width should not exceed ____ intercuspal distance
1/3
what depth into dentin should a cavity prep be
0.2-0.5mm
why do we prep cavities with converging buccal and lingual walls?
follows direction of enamel rods
how much of the marginal ridge should be conserved
1.6mm
prevents dislodgment of the restoration by lifting or tipping
retention form
increased surface area helps to increase friction for what cavity prep feature
retention form
opposing walls slightly converging is what type of prep feature
retention form
sufficient access to the cavity is what type of prep feature
convenience form
why is convince form import for visibility
removal of all decay
needs for access to the prep for instruments
convenience form
important prep feature to achieve the best marginal seal
finishing
removing jagged edges or rough outline is what type of prep feature
finishing
the final step before the prep receives restorative material
Debridement
rising the cavity with air/water spray and high suction
Debridement
removes smear layer from cavity prep
Debridement
dental shavings on cavity preparation
smear layer
remove moister (blood & saliva) from prep
Debridement
the junction between the external walls of the cavity preparation and the uncut tooth structure
cavosurface margin
the shape of the cavity preparation
outline form
what are the three factors that govern outline form
conservation of tooth structure
location & extend of caries
position of pits & fissures
unnecessary loss of healthy tooth structure
extension for prevention
preservation of remaining tooth structure- minimal extension
conservative approach
