Test 2 Flashcards
enamel rods are in what direction compared to dentin
perpendicular
how is the depth of a prep determined
thickness of enamel
what is the minimum depth of a prep
1.5 mm
how far must one drill into dentin to place an amalgam prep
0.5 mm
type of dentin that is reparative and is formed throughout ones lifetime
secondary dentin
laid down as a result to chemical or thermal trauma
tertiary dentin-called reparative dentin
how do pit and fissure caries spread
through enamel and dentin in a triangular base to base spread
where do caries spread
DEJ
which caries do you remove first? Second?
Peripheral caries first, caries above pulp last
what must always be removed near the DEJ
discoloration
slightly converging walls and dovetail locks are examples of what type of retention
primary
pins, slots, grooves and additional boxes are examples of what type of retention
secondary
dentin closest to pulp that doesnt usually have alot of bacteria and can remineralize is called
affected dentin
dentin that must be removed, high amount of bacteria, soft and scoops out easily is called
infected dentin
what is the amount of inorganic material in enamel
it has the most inorganic material
what is the amount of inorganic material in cementum
it has the least inorganic material
what happens if you nick the enamel with at bur
you increase the chances of having a caries
type of dentin laid down due to chemical or thermal trauma
tertiary dentin-reparative dentin
what type of caries travel through enamel and dentin
pit and fissure caries
this must be removed and dental tubules must be opened up for a composite or resin restoration
smear layer
what increases pulp sensitivity
heat
where are the most dentin tubules
near the pulp
cementum near the cervical area and can regenerate
cellular cementum
cementum near the apex area and cannot regenerate
acellular cementum
list order of susceptability to caries?
enamel, dentin, pulp -most sensitive
List principals of cavity prep (7)
establish outline form, obtain resistance form, obtain retention form, Obtain Convenience Form remove carious dentin, finish enamel walls and margins, prepare toilet of cavity prep
enamel rods must be supported by dentin. The initial outline form is determined by the depth and lateral extent of caries
first true second false
Obtaining adequate observation, accessibility and ease of operation during preparation and restoration is called
Convinience form
