directly to enamel, dentin, cementum, and stainless
steel. Releases fluoride. Ex: Vitrebond
Liners Thin layers of material used to protect the pulp, aid in its
recovery, or both.
IRM IRM material is zinc oxide Eugenol with polymer reinforcement.
(Intermediate Restorative
Material)
Most common for inlay/onlay preps. Will stick to
adjacent teeth. You can roll into a ball, put into prep,
Fermit
have patient bite down. You want the material to stick
to the
adjacent teeth but not to the papilla so always make
sure to check and clean interproximal excess.
Temporary filling material that hermetically deals in
Cavit
medicaments while sealing out saliva. Most common
in Endo (Root Canal) procedures.
Acrylic Bis-Acryl temporary crown and bridge material. Ideal for all
temporary restorations.

Inflammation of the pulp. It can be irreversible if caught

early, but root canal treatment may be needed if too

premolars.
Marginal Ridge Rounded borders of the enamel that form the mesial and distal
margins.
Ridge A linear elevation on the surface of the tooth, named according
to its location.
Lingual ridge at the base of an anterior tooth. Makes up
Cingulum
the bulk of the cervical 1/3 of the lingual surface.
Cusp Elevation in the crown of the tooth, making a division in the
occlusal surface.

seen.

examination. The part of the tooth you see when you
look in the mouth.
Tissues that surround and support the teeth. Consists of
Periodontium
cementum, PDL, gingiva, and Alveolar process.
Covers the roots of the teeth in a thin layer. Light yellow
