abrasives
| zicronium silicate | used for polishing gold restorations , tooth colored restorations (composite, resin), can be used o exposed dentin and enamel |
| tin oxide | metalic restoration |
| flour pumice | only can be used on enamel NOT restorations |
| for esthetic restorations | aluminum oxide |
| this is used for removal of light stain on tooth enamel | super-fine silex |
| brushes are available with -what- or -what- bristles | nylon or natural |
| bristle prophy brushes should -blank- contact the -blank- tissue and should only be positioned above -blank- third of the tooth | never, gingiva, gingival |
| supragingival | above the gum line |
| subgingival | under the gum line |
| appears black, brown, or dark green (in moist area covered growing mold) | subgingival calculus |
| -what- appears chalky white, yellow, gray or stained by food. Most common on the lingual of mandibular incisors and buccal maxillary molars. uncommon in children under 9 | supragingival calculus |
| -what- are materials that cut or grind the surface leaving grooves ad a rough surface, they should always be as mosit as possible without splattering | abrasives |
| -what- is the time it takes to remove stains and deposits from a surface during polishing | rate of abrasion |
| type of intrinsic stain occurs when the pulp is damaged or removed. This stain can vary in color from light yellow, to green, to black to magenta | pulp damage or non vital tooth stain (necrotic) |
| dentin tubules | pulp damage or non vital tooth stain |
| -what- is the result of high concentrations of -what- antibiotics taken during the time the tooth was developing | Tetracycline stain / Tetracycline |
| dine abrasives are called powder or flours and are graded -blanks, blank and blank- for increasing fineness | F, FF, FFF |
| The larger the -what- the more abrasive it is | particle size |
| what is the preventive therapy to maintain the health of the gingival | prophylaxis |
| the -what- of the cup that holds and transports the abrasive agent | Edge/ center |
| additional polishing aids that may be needed during a coronal polish are bridge threaders, abrasive polishing strips, soft wooden points, and small interproximal brushes. all these are what | auxillary polishing agents |
| what follows scaling | coronal polishing |
| -what- are used occasionally when a small stain is difficult to remove. this works interproximally, pulled tight against the proximal surface of the tooth and moved back and forth until the stain is gone | abrasive polishing strip |
| the area between adjacent tooth surfaces where a -blank blank- would be used to clean open contract areas, around orthodontic appliances, exposed bifurcation or trifurcation of the roots and on abutment teeth of the hygienic bridge | interproximal brush |
| air polish is contraindicated in what | help D and respiratory diseases |
