Hemodent & Viscostat clear

ALUM

Ultradent/Astringedent

 

Definition

 

 

Hemodent & Viscostat clear - aluminum chloride

 

ALUM - aluminum potassium sulfate

 

Ultradent/Astringedent - ferric sulfate

Term

 

The hypothetical curved line drawn along the incisal edges of the four anterior teeth is called ___________?

Definition

 

Smile Line

or

Incisal Line

 

 

- more curved for women than men

 

Term

 

The dark space that appears between the buccal surface of the maxillary teeth and the corners of the mouth during smiling is called _____________?

Definition

 

Buccal corridor

Term

 

 

The line from cusp tip to cusp tip is called ____?

 

It should be parallel with what other line to make the face look in harmony?

Definition

 

 

The occlusal line

 

 

- Should be parallel with commisural line

Term

 

Which of the following landmarks should not be used to reestablish a dental midline?

 

A. Lip philtrum

B. Incisive papilla

C. Mandibular midline

E. Labial frenum

Definition

 

 

A. Lip philtrum

and

C. Mandibular midline

 

(they coincide with max midline in only 70% and 75% of cases, respectively)

Term

 

What are the 3 methods for tooth placement?

Definition

 

Empirical

Phonetics

Anatomic landmarks

Term

 

Drawing a line from cusp tip to cusp tip of canines bisects the incisive papilla _______ amount of the time.

Definition

 

 

92%

Term

 

What should ideal contacts be from centrals to canines expressed as a percentage of tooth length?

Definition

 

50

40

30

Term

 

In order to avoid "black hole disease", distance from the osseous crest to the contact point shouldn't be greater than ____ and an inderdental distance of ____ is needed.

Definition

 

5 mm

 

2 mm

Term

 

True or False:

 

The gingival zenith is ideally located distal to the axis of the tooth on centrals, laterals, and canines.

Definition

 

False

 

 

- coincidental with the axis for laterals

- distal for centrals and canines

Term

 

The traditional classification of extrinsic dental stain is into metallic and non-metallic categories. How does Nathoo categorize extrinsic dental stain in his JADA article?

Definition

N1 - colored material binds to tooth, i.e. tannins & polyphenols

 

N2 - colored material changes color after binding

i.e. metals

 

N3 - colorless material binds then undergoes reaction to become colored, i.e. Maillard reaction

Term

 

What is the Maillard reaction?

Definition

 

A reaction between carbohydrates and amino acids

 

- results in non-enzymatic browning of teeth by otherwise colorless materials

Term

 

How are intrinsic dental stains classified?

 

Examples from both categories?

Definition

 

Pre-eruptive vs. Post-eruptive

 

- pre: fluorosis, tetracycline, sicke cell, AI, DI

 

- post: trauma, aging, internalization of external stain

Term

 

What are two categories of peroxide in use today?

 

Examples of each?

Definition

 

Slow release and Rapid release

 

Slow: calcium peroxide

sodium percarbonate

i.e. baking soda and peroxide

 

Rapid: hydrogen peroxide

carbamide peroxide

Term

 

What is the best margin for an esthetic crown?

Definition

 

Modified shoulder

 

- ok if only 1 mm subgingival

Term

 

True or false?

 

The strength of a shoulder margin on a PFM is the same whether the metal extends to the edge or is cut back 2mm short of axiogingival line angle.

Definition

 

True

 

- can cut back metal to avoid metal showing at margin, however porcelain shoulder must be 90 degrees to avoid shear tension

 

- porcelain shoulder has maximum esthetics

Term

 

What are the mm measurements for the following round burs?

 

No 2, No 3, No 4

Definition

 

No 2 = 1 mm

 

No 3 = 1.2 mm

 

No 4 = 1.4 mm

Term

 

How far subgingival do you need to place the margin to ensure an esthetic crown?

Definition

 

 

Minimum = 1.5

 

Ideal = 2.5

 

( biologic width = 2.7 )

Term

 

True or False?

 

The abutments for a fixed bridge should be provisionalized without splinting to prevent stressing the abutments.

Definition

 

False.

 

- abutments should be provisionalized with pontics to prevent drifting of abutments.

Term

 

If the patient's fricative sounds ("F" sounds) sound like "V", then the incisors are too ________.

 

If the "V" sounds sound like "F" then the incisors are too ___________.

Definition

 

 

F -> V = too long

 

V -> F = too short

Term

 

What are possible contraindications for using epinephrine as a chemomechanical soft tissue management agent for impression taking?

Definition

 

CVD, HTN, DM, hyperthyroidism

 

Patients taking ganglionic blockers, MOI's for depression

Term

 

When making a custom provisional using the overimpression technique, a cast of the prepped teeth is fitted to an impression of the diagnostic waxup, and the space in between is filled with acrylic. How long and at what pressure should the acrylic be cured in a pressure pot?

Definition

 

 

5 minutes at 20 psi

Term
