eruption and base is a premeasured capsules/triturated or on mixing pad with
powder/liquid. Not considered permanent material
chemical retraction - ANS -most common type of retraction; temp shrinkage which
widens the sulcus; contains 10% aluminum chloride which controls bleeding
mechanical retraction - ANS -type of retraction used for placing a temp crown and
removed over a couple of days before final impression
filler (quartz) - ANS -the purpose of ________ is to make sealants tougher and more wear
resistant
True - ANS -True or False: filled sealants require checking of the occlusion and possible
adjustment with a stone or a bur
BIS-GMA, do not - ANS -unfilled sealants are 100% _______ and _____ contain any fillers
and are easily abraded
pumice - ANS -prior to the application of sealants, the teeth are cleaned with ______
air port polisher or fissurotomy burs - ANS -other means of cleaning the tooth include an
____________________________--
True - ANS -true or false: a polishing agent that contains oils/fluoride will affect the
retention of the sealant to the tooth surface
longer - ANS -primary teeth should be etched (longer or shorter) than permanent teeth
35%-50% - ANS -what is the percentage range of phosphoric acid that is contained in
etchant material
True - ANS -true or false: dental dam provides the best isolation; however, cotton rolls
are acceptable
5 - ANS -if saliva contaminates the etched surfaces, re-etch for _ seconds and rinse
again
should not - ANS -sealant material (should or should not) be stored by any products
which contain eugenol
True - ANS -true or false: sizes of the holes in a dental dam punch coordinate with the
size of the teeth
, 5 - ANS -#_ hole is for the anchor tooth on a dental dam
receives - ANS -the anchor tooth is the one that ________ the clamp
wing - ANS -a ____ clamp is designed with extra extensions to help retain the clamp
true - ANS -true or false: a cervical or anterior clamp may be required if the gingival 1/3
of the tooth needs to be restored

maxillary, mandibular - ANS -Punching on the dam - 1" from the border for _________
arch and 2" from the border for the __________ arch
true - ANS -true or false: a darker color of dental dam provides more contrast against the

buccal) side
below - ANS -the rubber dam clamp is positioned (above or below) the height of contour
cervical or butterfly clamp (a double bowed rubber dam clamp) - ANS -this type of clamp
