Expanded Functions - Final Exam
UPDATED ACTUAL Questions and
CORRECT Answers
Cavity Classifications - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Blacks Classifications
Class 1: Occlusal pits and fissures
Class 2: Interproximal Posteriors
Class 3: Interproximal Anteriors
Class 4: Interprox anter with cusp tip
Class 5: Gingival margin
Class 6: Attrition or wearing
Functions and Purpose of the Pulp - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- -Contained within the dentin
walls
-Supports the cellular vascular nerve
-No room for swelling
-Blood flow in and out one way through the apex
Formative: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- -generates dentin (dentinogenesis)
Nutritive: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- -Provides vascular supply and substance transfer for
metabolic functions and maintenance of cells
Sensory: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- -transmits afferent pain sensation
Protective: - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- -Coordinates responses to injury/noxious stimuli
RDT and its importance to the pulp - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- -From prep to pulp is the
most important factor in protecting the pulp
-Remaining Dentinal Thickness
,-Conservation of remaining tooth structure is MORE important to pupal health than replacing
lost tooth structure with a liner or base
-Calcium Hydroxide - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- -Must have vital pulp
-NO history of spontaneous PAIN
-Pain during pulp testing must not linger
-PA NOT show evidence of periapical lesion
-Bacteria must be excluded from the site by the permanent restoration
Direct pulp capping - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- DIRECT exposure of the pulp
-may be attempted with a small mechanical exposure of an otherwise healthy pulp
-isolate tooth with rubber dam
-hemostasis achieved
-Maybe attempt with small mechanical exposure of an otherwise healthy pulp.
-Slight pulp showing (little pink spot).
Indirect pulp capping - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Used when it is radiographically evident
-deep carious lesions encroaching on the pulp
-Tooth has NO history of spontaneous pain
-Responds normally to vitality tests,
-Use great caution to avoid pulp exposure (iatrogenic event).
-Use calcium hydroxide.
-Pulp not showing.
Function and purpose of dentin - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- -Dentin is the best protection
for the pulp.
-excellent buffering capability
-neutralizes cariogenic acids.
-insulates the pulp from temperature
Pros of Rubber Dam - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- PROS
, -Isolates the area
-Prevent overhang
-Prevents microbial transmission
-prevents aspiration of small objects
-boosts quality of restorations/increased bond
-increase quality of work (prevents talking)
-working field more accessible
-Airborne debris reduced
CONS Rubber dam - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- CONS:
-time to put together
-uncomfortable
-pt claustrophobic
-pt communication difficulties
-clamp differences
Winged clamp - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Wing =
-stretch the rubber dam around additional teeth -remove rubber dam from the wings of clamp
-Have extra projections for better retraction, and they hold the dental dam in place because
the wings are angle toward the gingiva.
Wingless clamp "W" - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔- Wingless =
-Clamp on the tooth first, then stretches dam over clamp and additional teeth. "W",
-Have the W in front of the number of the clamp and have no projections.
What is used to keep the rubber dam and the clamp on the anterior teeth - CORRECT
ANSWER✔✔- - heavy floss
- wedget
- rubberdam material
