T/F. The illusion of increased length can be achieved with vertical highlights.
True.
183
T/F. Surfaces smoother than usual give the impression of a larger size.

Whenever restorations are finished with unusually smooth surfaces, they give the impression of larger size and vice versa. Teeth appear larger than their actual size when the value is increased.
184
T/F. Conventional glass ionomers use free radical polymerization to cure
FALSE.
Conventional glass ionomer cements undergo a chemical self-setting acid-base reaction created by mixing an ion-leachable fluoroaluminosilicate glass powder with an aqueous polyacrylic or polcarboxylic acid.
185
The radiant exposure for a curing light producing 1,000 mW of power with a spot size of 2 cm² and an exposure time of 40 seconds is
20,000 mJ/cm².
(1,000 mW × 40 s) ÷ 2 cm² = 20,000 mJ/cm²
186
_______ roughens the exposed enamel rods and dentin, thus creating micromechanical abrasions that allow the bonding agent to flow and adhere to the tooth surface.
Acid etching
187
_____ removes surface debris, allowing for a clean bonding site.

190
The setting reaction of self-cure, chemical cure, or auto-curing sealants is __________ in nature.
exothermic
A significant amount of heat energy is liberated. It is advised to use light-curing sealants for safety, good manipulation, and ease of handling.
191

Acid etching
192
Amalgam alloy typyes ( 2)
```
Low-CU (<12% ; Y, Y1, Y2) and
High CU (>12%+ ; Y,Y1 - less corrosion and creep)
```
If a low-copper, zinc-containing alloy is moisture-contaminated, it will result in surface blistering, internal corrosion, and a delayed expansion of up to 4% by volume beginning 3 to 5 days after the contamination and continuing for up to 6 months, which can lead to creep and a reduction in strength of up to 24%.
Addition of zinc to an amalgam reduces the negative effects of delayed expansion.
193
trituration does what?
removes the oxide coating and wets each particle of alloy with mercury. Properly triturated amalgam is a homogenous mass with a slightly reflective surface. It flattens slightly if dropped on a tabletop.
194
Enamel cavosurface angles of _____ are ideal.
90–100°
Such angles conserve dentinal support and restoration strength, helping the restoration withstand the forces of mastication without fracture.
195
Retentive bevels are typically found around the margins of a ______ restoration.
class V
196
______ ______ ( 2) is a condition in which a combination of small white, brown, and yellow spots are seen all over the surfaces of the teeth.
Mottled enamel
tx: Microabrasion with hydrochloric acid (HCl)/pumice
197
_________ is the term for the enamel bevel placed on the facial side of a class IV preparation
Esthetic bevel
Esthetic bevels are typically placed at 60°.This bevel is placed to remove or mask the line of demarcation between the restorative material and the tooth structure
Placement of an esthetic bevel also makes the restoration conservative, increases the resin bond strength, and decreases the chances of fracture.
198
DMFS” stands for which of the following?
```
Caries prevalence can be recorded as “DMFT” or “DMFS” as follows:
Decayed
Missing
Filled
Surfaces
Teeth
```
199
Most important in shade selection
Value
200
Which (chroma, value, hue) depends on wavelength
Hue
"Hue rides the wave"
201
Indirect restoration vs direct resotration
indirect = anything made by lab ( inlay,onlay, crown ect)
direct = comp amalgam
202
Three parts of the hand instrument
Blade, Shank, Handle
203
The ____1_____ method was developed called _____2____. It is caries ___3__ by the application of a gel to the tooth which selectively softens the carious dentin, thus facilitating removal of this tissue. This minimizes pain and should not affect healthy tissue.
1. chemomechanical
2. Carisolv (Medi Team)
3. removal
204
Enamel comprised of __1__ with a __2___ surface energy while dentin is comprised of _3__ with a _4__ surface energy.
1. Hydroxapetite
2. High surface E
3. Hydroaptetit AND COLLAGEN
4. Low surface E
205
A triangular reamer with 60 degree cutting edges would require ______ degrees of rotation for one reaming motion arc.
The motion of reaming involves rotating an instrument clockwise, in an arc that goes from one cutting edge to the next. A triangular reamer having three 60 degree cutting edges would, therefore, require 120 degrees of rotation in order for one arc.
206
low-copper amalgam alloys:
Low-copper amalgams form a tin-mercury (γ2) phase, which is highly susceptible to corrosion. Because of this, high-copper alloys have been developed and are now the primary amalgam type in use. Low-copper amalgams used to be more prominent in the first half of the 20th century.
207
Resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGI) has greater ___________ than glass ionomer (GI)
flexural strength

Injury resulting in tissue changes from excessive occlusal forces applied to a tooth or teeth that have normal, health supporting periodontium = ______?
Primary occlusal trauma
213
Secondary occlusal trauma is an injury resulting in tissue changes from normal or excessive occlusal forces that are applied to ___________.

Tin = corrosion
Copper = strength
Zinc = deoxidizer [of other alloys] but excess expansion if moisture contaminated
```
216
In the four observed zones of a sectioned incipient lesion, the deepest zone is?
Translucent
1. Dark zone- the light is blocked by the many small pores, which are too small to absorb quinoline solution. These smaller vapor-filled pores make the region appear opaque.
2. Body of the lesion- the largest portion of the incipient lesion during the demineralizing phase.
3. Translucent zone- the deepest and advancing zone of the enamel lesion.
4. Suface zone- the area unaffected by the caries process. It has a lower pore size than the body of the lesion and radiopacity when compared to unaffected enamel.
217

TRUE.
| This is particularly helpful for subgingival restorations
218
