Gingivally the depth of a class V cavity is
1. 0.5-1 mm
2. 0.75-1 mm
3. 1-1.25 mm
4. 2-3 mm
Conservative Dentistry
Answer: 2
Gingivally, the depth of a class V cavity is typically 0.75-1 mm. This depth is
sufficient to provide a good bond with the tooth structure and prevent
microleakage without causing significant gingival irritation or damage.
Main feature of class V amalgam restoration
1) Occlusal wall is greater than gingival wall
2) Retention undercuts placed in the mesial and distal walls
3) Axial wall is flat and does not follow the contours of the tooth
4) Mesial and distal walls converge
Conservative Dentistry
Answer: 1
In Class V restorations, which are located at the gingival third of the facial or lingual surfaces of teeth, the occlusal wall is typically wider than the gingival wall. This design helps in providing retention and resistance to the restoration, as the occlusal wall is more subject to occlusal forces.
The base of class III preparation is
1) Axial wall
2) Gingival wall
3) Facial wall
4) Lingual wall
Conservative Dentistry
Answer: 1
In a Class III cavity preparation, which typically involves the anterior teeth and is located on the proximal surfaces, the axial wall is considered the base. This wall is oriented parallel to the long axis of the tooth and provides support for the restoration. The gingival wall is also important, but the axial wall is the primary base in this context.
The advantage of natural glaze compared to applied artificial glaze
1) More smooth finish is achieved
2) More permanent glaze is achieved
3) More shiny surface is achieved
4) All of the above
Conservative Dentistry
Answer: 2
Natural glaze is often more durable and permanent compared to applied artificial
glaze, providing a better finish.
In class V preparation the wall which is not present at all
1. Pulpal
2. Distal
3. Mesial
4. Axial
Conservative Dentistry
Answer: 1
In class V preparation, the pulpal wall is not present at all, as the cavity is
confined to the cervical third of the tooth. It does not extend into the pulp
chamber.
During cavity preparation, more incidence of exposure is in
1. Class V cavity in first premolar
2. Class II mesioocclusal cavity
3. Class II distoocclusal cavity
4. Class IV cavity
Conservative Dentistry
Answer: 1
During cavity preparation, the incidence of pulpal exposure is higher in class V
cavities on first premolars due to the proximity of the margins to the pulp
horns.
By doubling the diameter of the condenser point and doubling the force applied, the operator is..............during condensation
1. Applying more pressure
2. Applying less pressure
3. Applying the same pressure
4. Pressure applied is variable
Conservative Dentistry
Answer: 2
By doubling the diameter of the condenser point and doubling the force applied,
the operator is actually applying less pressure during condensation. This is
because pressure is inversely proportional to the area of contact, which is
reduced by doubling the diameter of the condenser point. The increased force is
counteracted by the larger area of contact, resulting in a lower pressure per
unit area.
The CAD-CAM system uses
1) Cadmium in castings
2) A purcelain furnace with very high temperature
3) A video camera to all the prepared tooth
4) None of the above
Conservative Dentistry
Answer: 3
The CAD-CAM system utilizes digital imaging, often through a video camera or
scanner, to capture the prepared tooth for designing restorations.
