37
Q

What is sometimes used as a lubricant?

A

Shaving cream

38
Q

Waxed dental tape (floss) or small piece of rubber dam material or rubber Wedjet

A

Anchors (other than retainers)

39
Q

When are other anchors used?

A

When the proximal contact is sufficient to anchor the dam to the tooth

40
Q

How many holes do rubber dams having in cutting table?

A

5 or 6

41
Q

Where should incisors and the mesial side of canines be isolated from?

A

1st premolar to 1st premolar

- Not retainer required

42
Q

Where should canines be isolated from?

A

1st molar of opposite lateral incisor

43
Q

Should include the lateral incisor on the opposite side of the arch

A

Posterior teeth

44
Q

1 or 2 teeth distally and anteriorly to opposite lateral incisor

A

Premolars

45
Q

As far distal as possible to oppsite lateral incisor

A

Molars

46
Q

How many teeth should be isolated?

A

Minimum of 3

47
Q

How many teeth do you isolate with endodontics

A

1

48
Q

Distance from center of 1 tooth to center of other (level of gingival tissue)

A

Distance between holes

49
Q

1st holes for central incisors

A

Maxillary teeth

50
Q

1st hole is posterior anchor tooth

A

Mandibular teeth

51
Q

What is the appropriate placement for the dam and the retainer?

A

Should be done at the same time

52
Q

Where should the rubber dam be inverted to seal?

A

Gingival direction

53
Q

What helps to get the interproximal?

A

Floss

54
Q

Air dry these surfaces and use a blunt instrument

A

Facial and Lingual

55
Q
  • Test and lubricate proximal contacts
  • Punch the holes
  • Lubricate the dam (2 sides)
  • Select the retainer
  • Test retainer’s stability and retention- lift occlusally with fingertip under the bow
  • Position dam over retainer
  • Apply the napkin/ position the napkin
  • Attach the frame
  • Apply anchor anteriorly (if needed)
  • Pass septa through contact without and then with dental tape/floss
  • Invert the dam interproximally
  • Invert dam faciolingually
  • Confirm proper application of dam
  • Check for access and visibility
  • Insert wedges
A

Application of rubber dam

56
Q

  • Remove the dam
  • Wipe the lips
  • Rinse the mouth and massage the tissue
  • Examine the dam
A

Removal of rubber dam

69
Q

Preferred for suctioning water and debris from the mouth

A

High Volume evacuators

70
Q
  1. Cuttings of tooth and restorative material and other debris are removed from the operating site
  2. A clean operating field improves access and visibility
  3. Dehydration of oral tissues does not occur
  4. Precious metals can be more readily salvaged if desired
A

Combined use of water spray or air-water and a high- volume evacuator during cutting procedures advantages
