Copper

An amalgam alloy with a mix of different particle types is called ________

Admixed or dispersion type of alloy

Amalgam particles that are irregular in shape require more mercury and greater condensing forces. Best describes this type of alloy

Tip

This term describes a space or void between a finished restoration and tooth at the cavi surface margin

An open margin

What do we call an area where the amalgam is below the cavo surface margin of the preparation?

Sub marginal area

Can an under contoured restoration be adjusted with finishing and polishing techniques? Yes or no?

Yes

Basic setup. Amalgam condensers and hollen back carvers

What can happen if one failed to condense amalgam into the mechanical retentive features of a restoration?

Weekened retention of the restoration

Where would the EFDA place the first layer of amalgam in a MO restorations on tooth number 18?

Least accessible area

What makes carving a class V amalgam restoration challenging

There is reduced access to the gingival margin

What instrument is used to create the occlusal embracer and shape the marginal ridge in a class 2 amalgam restoration?

An explorer

When condensing a class 2 cavity preparation condensing amalgam to the level of the_____ line angle before condensing the pulpal floor

Pulpoaxial

The number of increments required for a class v amalgam restoration are

Depends of the size of the preparation

When condensing an amalgam restoration, it is the goal of the EFDA too slightly_________ the restoration.

Slightly overfill the restoration

True or false? Any grooves present in existing enamel must be continued into the amalgam for a class 1. Occlusal amalgam restoration

True

You are about to begin restoration of a class III minimal depth amalgam cavity preparation. You observe the preparation and find it properly designed for maximum retention. Your next is..

An under contour class v restoration will cause

Will increase plaque accumulation and recurrent decay

Where should you condense the first increment of amalgam in a class V restoration?

Retentive features

And over extension or flash of restorative material at the cavo surface margin is indicated by a catch of the ________ moving from tooth to amalgam

A catch of the explorer moving from tooth to amalgam

What best defines a complex amalgam preparation?

There is loss of one or more cusps

How is a threaded retention pin secured in a complex amalgam restoration

It is threaded or screwed into the Denton

Tooth number 19 modb complex restoration is to be restored with amalgam. The overfill on the DB cusp should be

Slightly higher occlusally then the neighboring cusps of the adjacent tooth

You have just condensed a large modb complex amalgam tooth number 30 and you are ready to carve the facial surface which is over contoured. What is your instrument of choice?
