PAPER QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS

●● Esthetic dentistry
Answer: Area of dentistry that improves the appearance of the teeth by
camouflaging defects and whitening the teeth
●● Matrix
Answer: 1. Band that provides a temporary wall around the tooth 2. Base
or foundation that binds a a substance together; continuous phases
(organic Polymer) during which particles of filler are dispersed in
composite resin
●● Operative dentistry
Answer: Commonly used term to describe restorative and esthetic
dentistry
●● Preparation
Answer: Selected form given to a natural tooth when it is reduced by
instrumentation to receive a prosthesis (an artificial crown or retainer for
a fixed or removable prosthesis such as a bridge or partial denture)
,●● Restorations
Answer: Use of dental material to restore teeth to a function, permanent
unit
●● Restorative dentistry
Answer: The type of dentistry that restores teeth to their original
structure by removing decay and restoring defects in the teeth
●● Veneer
Answer: Thin layer of composite resin or porcelain bonded or cemented
to a prepared facial surface
●● Vital bleaching
Answer: Procedure during which a chemical oxidizing agent (sometimes
in combination with light) is used to lighten tooth discolorations
●● Wedge
Answer: A wooden or plastic triangular device placed in the embrasure
to provide the contour needed when a
Class II or Class III lesion is restored.
●● Cariology
, Answer: The science and study of dental caries (cavities)
●● What is the goal of preventive dentistry?
Answer: To have a healthy mouth for a lifetime.
●● What are the two most common dental diseases?
Answer: Dental caries (dental decay) and periodontal disease.
●● What are the guidelines of patient education programs?
Answer: To listen carefully, instruct the patient on how to remove
plaque, assess the patient's motivations and needs, select home care aids,
and keep instruction simple.
●● What is the initial step in a patient education program?
Answer: Listen carefully to the patient.
●● What are dental sealants?
Answer: A plastic-like covering applied to the pits and fissures of the
posterior teeth.
●● What is the process by which fluoride prevents decay?
Answer: Slowing demineralization and enhancing remineralization.
