DASLE; mechanical polish-
periodontal dressing 2025
with complete verified
solutions
Describe the motion/ pressure used when performing a mechanical polish?
- answer Short, overlapping, intermittent motions, press to adjust flare
the prophy cup.
What part of the rubber cup does the polishing? - answer THE OUTER
EDGE DOES THE POLISHING, flared edges
If a line of stain or deposits appear along the gingival margin after
polishing, the problem was? - answer the cup not flaring
what controls stability and control of a rubber cup during during a polish?
- answer fulcrum
what deposits and stains are removed by a mechanical polish? - answer
Extrinsic stains, plaque and acquired pellicle
List the objectives in a mechanical polish. - answer Teeth should be
smooth and glossy, all soft deposits have been removed, all extrinsic
stains have been removed, no tissue laceration or abrasion, pt motivation.
what does excessive speed during a mechanical polish cause? - answer
faster the rate of abrasion and traumatic friction heat.
list other factors that increase the rate of abrasion - answer Heavier
pressure, more particles applied per unit of time and the size of the
particle
, when would unwaxed floss be preferred? - answer If fluoride is to be
applied.
how would you remove a heavy stain? - answer scaling and root plaing by
RDH, ultrasonic scaling
define characteristics of tissue abrasion from an incorrect placement of a
rubber cup. - answer
give characteristic of how you would explain mechanical polishing to a 3-4
yo - answer
what is used interproximaly with an abrasive to remove stains? - answer
polishing strips
where is the assistant positioned to polish teeth #6-11 - answer 11-12:00
right handed and 1- 12:00 left handed
which stain is being described:
occurs in pt with poor OH where plaque collects - answer yellow
which stain is being described:
located on the cervical 1\3 of max anterior labials - answer green
which stain is being described:
follows contour of gingival 1 mm above crest - answer black
intrinsic grayish brown and caused by an antibiotic - answer tetracycline
what is the optimum level of fluoride in water - answer 1 PPM (now
