| Speed of cup is important in minimizing | Frictional heat |
| Oral Prophylaxis is known as | Prophy or cleaning |
| Members allowed to preform oral prophylaxis | Dentist or RDH |
| 4 types of prophy angles | Rubber cup, bristle brush, reusable prophy angle, disposable prophy angle |
| Tobacco stains, chewing, dipping or amalgam stains incorporated into the tooth structure are | Intrinsic stains |
| Stains caused by excessive fluoride during tooth formation are | Endogenous |
| Stains that result from medications taken by mother or the child during tooth development are | Endogenous |
| Stains from food/drink/tobacco that can be removed are | Extrinsic |
| Type of polishing of root surfaces that have been exposed during periodontal surgery | Therapeutic polishing/root planning |
| Commercial premixed abrasive paste for polishing and restoration | Prophy paste |
| type of polishing used in which only those teeth are surfaces with stains are polished | Selective polishing |
| degree of coarseness of an agent | Grit |
| Polishing technique using high pressure stream of warm water and sodium bicarbonate | Air Powder Polishing |
| Pastes like micro-fine sapphire or diamond paste or aluminum oxide are examples of | Low abrasive polishing paste |
| For esthetic restorations, what type of polishing paste is used | low abrasive pastes |
| used to control speed of hand piece | Rheostat |
| Two basic types of prophy angles | Reusable, Disposable |
| Can be used after coronal polish to polish interproximal tooth surfaces and to remove abrasive agents | Dental Floss |
| Line on teeth near gingival margin, common in healthy woman | Black stain |
| Used to remove stains from deep pits and fissures of enamel surfaces | Bristle Brush Polishers |
| Referred to as mottled enamel, results from ingestion of excessive fluoride during mineralization period of tooth development. | Dental Fluorosis |

| Occurs in child while mother is in her third trimester of pregnancy and taking medication | Tetracycline antibiotics staining |
| Varying degrees of discoloration ranging from a few white spots to extensive white areas or distinct brown stains | Dental fluorosis |
| Staining caused by metallic ions from the amalgam penetrate into the dentin and enamel | Silver amalgam |
| Is used to polish and is fairly abrasive and used for cleaning more heavily stained tooth surfaces | Silex |
| Mildly abrasive , used for more persistent stains such as tobacco stains | Fine pumice |
| is a precipitated calcium carbonate, frequently incorporated into toothpaste and polishing pastes to whiten the teeh | Chalk |
| Used for polishing tooth surfaces and is highly effective and does not abrade tooth enamel | Zirconium Silicate |
