Second Molar, Facial Aspect. Finger rest on an occlusal surface.
Second Molar, Facial Aspect. Finger rest on an occlusal surface.
Establishing a Finger Rest. When establishing a finger rest, it is important to proceed in the small, explicit steps outlined in this flow chart.
Step 1.
1. Assume a 10 to 11 o'clock position for the facial aspect of the mandibular left posteriors.
2. Grasp the mirror in your nondominant hand.
3. Place the mirror head between the dental arches with the reflecting surface parallel to the maxillary occlusal surfaces (“Frisbee-style”).
4. Slide the mirror back until it is in line with the second molar.

4. Slide the mirror back until it is in line with the second molar.
Step 2.
5. Position the mirror by turning the mirror handle until the mirror head is parallel to the buccal mucosa. The back of the mirror head rests against the buccal mucosa, and the mirror's reflecting surface is facing the facial surfaces of the teeth.
6. Establish an extraoral finger rest on the side of the patient's cheek.
7. Use your arm muscles for retraction. Pulling with only your finger muscles is a difficult and tiring way to retract the cheek.

Clock Position for Mandibular Posterior Teeth, Aspects Facing Toward the Clinician. The clinician's clock position for the mandibular posterior aspects toward the clinician is the 9 o'clock position. The patient should be in a chin-down head position.

Mirror. Retract the buccal mucosa with the mirror. Use the mirror for indirect vision, particularly to view the distal surfaces of the teeth.
Note that the clinician pictured here is using an extraoral finger rest for the mouth mirror.

Task 2—First Premolar, Facial Aspect. Finger rest on an incisal surface of one of the mandibular anteriors.
Task 2—First Premolar, Facial Aspect. Finger rest on an incisal surface of one of the mandibular anteriors.
Mirror. Use the mirror to gently move the tongue away from the teeth, toward the midline of the mouth. Once in position, the mirror is also used for indirect vision of the tooth surfaces.
Tip: Avoid pressing down against the floor of the mouth with the mirror head.

Step 1.
1. Assume a 1 to 2 o'clock position for the facial aspect of the mandibular right posteriors.
2. Grasp the mirror in your nondominant hand.
3. Place the mirror head between the dental arches with the reflecting surface parallel to the maxillary occlusal surfaces (“Frisbee-style”).
4. Slide the mirror back until it is in line with the second molar.
