Q & A
What is the first step in G.V. Black's steps to cavity preparation?
-The first step in G.V. Black's steps to cavity preparation is the outline form, followed by the resistance form and then the retention form.
What does the outline form of a cavity preparation represent according to the video?
-The outline form of a cavity preparation represents the outer perimeter of the preparation along the cavosurface margin.
What is the purpose of triturating a dental amalgam?
-Triturating a dental amalgam ensures that the amalgam components are exactly mixed within the capsule, where the alloy particles are coated with mercury.
What is the safest method to remove carious dentin near the pulp in a Class 1 preparation?
-The safest method to remove carious dentin near the pulp in a Class 1 preparation is using a large slowly rotating round bur.
What does the number 10 in a dental hand instrument with a formula of 1085 714 refer to?
-In a dental hand instrument with a formula of 1085 714, the number 10 refers to the width of the cutting edge.
What feature of an amalgam restoration is related to leakage at the margins?
-The weak gamma 2 phase found mostly in low copper amalgams is related to leakage at the margins due to creep and corrosion.
What is the most common acid included in glass ionomer formulations?
-Polyacrylic acid (PAA) is the most common acid used in glass ionomer formulations.
Which surface of a tooth is smooth surface caries most likely to occur on?
-Smooth surface caries can occur on any of the axial surfaces of the tooth where there are no pits and fissures, such as facial, lingual, mesial, and distal surfaces.
What does fluoride do to help prevent tooth decay?
-Fluoride helps prevent tooth decay by remineralizing the tooth, strengthening it through conversion of carbonate-substituted hydroxyapatite to fluorapatite, and interfering with the metabolic activity of cariogenic bacteria.
How many blades does a finishing bur have compared with a cutting bur?
-A finishing bur has more blades than a cutting bur, typically 12 blades compared to 6, to provide a smoother cut.
Which carbohydrate is most responsible for caries in the human diet?
-Sucrose, a disaccharide of glucose and fructose, is most responsible for caries as it is broken down by bacteria into glucans and fructans, which are fermented into lactic acid contributing to caries formation.
What are the thick, radio-opaque lines underneath some of the patient's posterior amalgam restorations likely to be?
-The thick, radio-opaque lines are likely to be retentive pins within the amalgam restorations, which enhance resistance and retention form.

😀 Operative Dentistry Series Practice Questions Overview
Ryan introduces the practice questions video for the Operative Dentistry series, emphasizing the importance of watching the previous six videos before attempting these questions. He mentions that the video includes 15 questions to test the viewers' knowledge, similar to what they might encounter on an exam. Ryan also discusses a strategy for answering multiple-choice questions by eliminating wrong answers and provides an example with a question about G.V. Black's outline form of a cavity preparation.
🔍 Eliminating Wrong Answers in Test Questions
The paragraph explains a method for tackling multiple-choice questions by eliminating incorrect options. It uses the example of a question regarding the steps of cavity preparation according to G.V. Black, illustrating how to deduce that answer choice D is correct. The paragraph also covers the process of triturating dental amalgam, explaining the chemical reactions involved and how to identify the accurate description of the process.
🛠️ Safe Removal of Carious Dentin Near the Pulp
Ryan discusses the safest way to remove carious dentin near the pulp in a Class 1 preparation. He warns against using a high-speed burr and an explorer tip due to the risk of pulp exposure. Instead, he recommends using a spoon excavator for soft infected dentin and a large, slowly rotating round bur for the safest method to remove affected dentin without risking pulp exposure.
🔢 Understanding Dental Hand Instrument Codes
The paragraph focuses on understanding the four-digit formula for dental hand instruments. Ryan explains that the first digit refers to the width, the second to the cutting edge angle, the third to the length of the blade, and the fourth to the blade angle. He clarifies a common misunderstanding about how the second and fourth digits are measured and converted into percentages of 360 degrees.
🧱 Retention and Resistance in Amalgam Restorations
Ryan addresses the design features of a mesial occlusal amalgam preparation that prevent the restoration from falling into an adjacent edentulous space. He explains the importance of convergent walls, amalgam pins, and occlusal dovetails in providing retention. He also discusses the role of the gamma 2 phase in creep and corrosion, which affects the longevity and seal of amalgam restorations.
🏥 Board Exam Structure and Operative Dentistry Questions
The paragraph outlines the structure of the board exam, which includes 400 operative dentistry questions on the first day and 100 case-based questions on the second day. Ryan provides examples of case-based questions, such as assessing the need for restoration of cervical lesions and interpreting radiographic findings, like thick radio-opaque lines underneath amalgam restorations, which could indicate the presence of retentive pins.
📚 Summary and Conclusion of the Operative Dentistry Series
Ryan concludes the video by thanking viewers for watching, encouraging them to share their performance on the 15 questions, and inviting them to like and subscribe for more dentistry content. He also mentions the support from his patrons and provides information on accessing additional resources through Patreon, including video slides for note-taking and more practice questions for board exams.
