●● The process of removing unhealthy tooth structure while leaving a

●● When are retention pins used as a part of the direct restorative
process?
Answer: - when decay has extended beyond the normal size and shape
of the cavity preparation
- when a stronger system for retaining and supporting the restoration is
needed
- when one or more cusps of the tooth is missing
,●● A veneer is a thin layer of tooth-coloured material that is placed on
the facial surface of a prepared tooth and is used for:

Answer: Clear Plastic
●● Coronal Polishing is a technique used:
Answer: - to remove plaque and stains from coronal surfaces of the teeth
- before placement of dental sealants and orthodontic bands
