What is the thickness gauge of the “heavy” dental dam (pretty sure this is the one we use)
.010”
The parts of retainers (clamps) used with a dental dam include: (4)
Isolation of the operating field is extremely important because a wet field =
recurrent caries or failed bond
For isolating the operating field in a class II preparation, what teeth would show through the dental dam?
one tooth posterior & two teeth anterior to the tooth you’re working on
The tooth posterior to the tooth you’re working on that is clamped when using the dental dam is considered the:
anchor
What are your isolation options when damming anterior teeth?
Sometimes a rubber dam will not work especially in cases with _____ medications (rarely used)
Give examples of these meds
Antisialogogue medications
atropine & banthine
What instruments are used to remove caries once outline form is achieved?
When refining an amalgam class II preparation, why should you plane/bevel the axiopulpal line angle?
reduces stress
When refining an amalgam class II preparation, why should you plane/bevel gingival margin?
This removes loose enamel rods
When the placing the wedge with use of a matrix band, what side should the wedge be inserted?
place wedge from larger embrasure
In a class II amalgam restoration-
What should you do while removing the matrix band in an amalgam class II restoration?
Hold condenser on marginal ridge as you gently remove the band
In the proximal outline form of a class II composite restoration, you must break:

In a class II composite restoration, where should you keep the margins when possible?
in enamel
In the proximal outline form for a class II composite restoration, the ____ contact should always be broken, while the ____ contact may or may not be broken.
lingual; buccal
Is a reverse S-curve necessary in a composite restoration?
no
What bevels are involved with a composite class II restoration?
In what case would you not do a gingival bevel in a class II composite prep?
If gingival floor is in dentin/cementum
It is more challenging to establish a good contact with a ____ restoration
composite
What addition steps are needed in a class II composite restoration compared to amalgam?
For complete etch:
