Front 1

Objective of root planing and how you measure success:

Back 1

Toxin free, smooth surface

Success by response of soft tissues adjacent to area treated

Front 2

Calculus accumulates __x more plaque than clean tooth surface

Back 2

50

Front 3

For detecting calculus, what instrument do you use?

Back 3

11/12 explorer, after five explorer - best tactile sensitivity

Front 4

What do ultrasonic instruments substitute? Benefit of hand instruments? Ultrasonics?

Back 4

Vibration in multiple directions for hand instrumentation.

Hand instruments - better tactile sensitivity

Ultrasonics - more power for wider area

Front 5

Scaling:

Exploratory angle
Working angle

Back 5

Explore - 45
Working - 80

Front 6

Root planing angle

Back 6

45

Front 7

What kind of instruments produce the smoothest surface?

Back 7

Site specific curettes

Front 8

What kind of ultrasonic produces an acceptable root surface?

Back 8

High frequency, low power

Front 9

1) What are scalers used for?
2) Universal curettes?
3) Site-specific curettes?

Back 9

1) Supragingival
2) Heavy deposits, sub and supragingival
3) Final finishing, primary emphasis

Front 10

Scalers:

1) Used to remove what?
2) Where are the cutting edges?
3) Angle between face and terminal shank?
4) Example? Where is it used for?

Back 10

1) Supragingival deposits (calculus, stain, plaque)
2) Both sides
3) 90
4) 5/33 scaler (sickle/jacquette), mandibular anterior lingual

Front 11

Universal deposits:

1) Used to remove what?
2) Where is the blade?
3) Cutting edges where?
4) Example? Where is it used?

Back 11

1) Heavy supragingival and subgingival
2) Both side
3) 90 degrees
4) Columbia 4R/4L - all tooth surfaces

Front 12

After five/mini five curettes:

1) How many cutting edges?
2) Blade to shank relationship?
3) Toe?

Back 12

1) One
2) Offset
3) Round

Front 13
