1. for composite restorations: during cavity preparation should “focus” on defect-specific form
2. which of the following has no affect on the strength of RBC
—type of composite
—method of polymerization
—size of filler particle
—color
3. are there any adverse affects in curing RBC for an extra ten seconds?
4. does RMGI just seal or does it also bond dentinal tubules?
5. reason compomers are ONLY used for primary teeth but NOT for adults: poor resistance to wear
6. “finishing burr” = smooth but creates a rough finish
7. galvinized corrosion = metal-to-metal contact
8. reason for leakage at facial and lingual of Class I margins = too great of an acute angle to the pulpal floor (creates unsupported enamel)
9. approach for mandibular anteriors only dependent on proximity of decay
10. Fl- in prevention of demineralization around the margin of orthodontic brackets
11. need to stop decay excavation upon reaching “leathery” dentin
12. first and second stage of Miller's Acid Decalcification Theory: exposure of HA to enamel rods —difference b/t “modifed GV Black” vs classic GV Black vs conservative
—what dictates “outline” for Class I (1/3 up grooves, 1/4 up cusps or 1mm width)
—removal of IRM for 1.7mm of amalgam insertion?
—tilted 2nd molar with mesial decay in a radiograph is present where?
—2nd maxillary premolar = greatest difficulty in “gingival excess”
—clipping D of matrix band #2 to accomodate for extra deep M proximal box
—coagulation of Ca2+ and PO4- ions at opening of dentinal tubules?
