| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Long-length surface of a tooth;axis | Axial |
| A method to avoid contamination by applying material between germs and objects | Barrier Technique |
| Dental cavities; Tooth Decay | Caries |
| To remove debris (dead tissue) | Debridement |
| Case in which calcium and phosphorus are lost from the enamal surface | demineralization |
| Pertanining to beauty; act of making something appealing | Esthetic |
| Speration or detachment from others or other areas | Isolation |
| A piece of floss or a cord that stablizes the dental dam in different applications; used in fixed bridge isolation, bleaching procedures, and tooth isolation | Ligature |
| Buildup or plate; invisible film on tooth surface | Plaque |
| Steps or method to follow | Protocol |
| The ability of a material to withstand forces of tensile stress without failing | Ductility |
| The ability to be distorted or deformed by an applied force and then return to its orginal shape once the force is removed | Elasticity |
| Continuing deformation of a solid; also called creep and slump | Flow |
| Creation of electrical shock caused by two different metals comming together | Galvanism |
| Stage of tooth preparation for the undercut of walls to provide a mechanical hold | Retention Form |
| Ability of a material to disolve in a fluid | Soluble |
| The ability for a material to transmit heat | Thermal Conductivity |
| The ability for a material to flow over a surface | Wettability |
| Material applied in a putty or thick layer between the tooth and restoration to protect the pulp from chemical, electrical, mechanical or thermal irratation | Base |
| A cavity varnish containing organic sollvents (eather acetone, or choloroform) and is used only under metal restoratitons because the solvent material in the varnish may interfere with the setting action of composite and resins | Copal Varnish |
| Materials that are used to treat hypersensitivity in the tooth | Desensitizers |
| Acid materials used to prepare a tooth surface for attaching to another material | Etchant |
| A chemical reacation that releases heat | Exothermic |
| Material in a thin layer on the walls and floor of the cavity preperation | Liner |
| Bonding or cementing together | Luting |
| A soothing effect a material may have | Sedative Effect |
| Materials set by means of a chemical reaction | Self-Curing |
| Thin layer of material that is placed to seal the walls and floor of a cavity preparation | Varnish |
| Movement of teeth of the lower jaw in an up-and-down, tooth position relationship | Articulation |
| Preparation for a restoration; technique depends on the amount and location of decay, degree of pupal involvement, and type of materials used to restore the tooth. | Cavity Preparation |
| Used to seal the dentin tubules to prevent acids,saliva, and debris from reaching the pulp; when used with cavity liner or medicated base, it is placed on top of these materials. | Cavity Varnish |
| High strength bases of thick, putty-like consistency places on the floor of a cavity preparation to protect the pulp and provide mechanical support for the restoration; preparation, pulp sensitivity, and type of restoration indicate which cement to use | Cement Bases |
| Technique used to treat permanent tooth when pulp has been exposed due to mechanical or traumatic means but chance exists that the pulp will heal; involves placing of medicament directly over exposed pulp, followed by tooth restoration | Direct Pulp Capping |
| To scatter, spread out; to let heat escape | Dissipate |
| When there is a near pulp exposure, a cavity liner is placed to protect the pulp before the restoration is placed | Indirect Pulp Capping |
| Process by which a material changes from a plastic pliable state to a rigid state | Polymerization |
| Mixing of mercury with other alloy material to form an amalgam | Trituration |
| Items used to cover badly stained teeth and to reshape the anatomy of teeth; thin layers of tooth-colored material that cover much of the facial surface | Veneer |
