Questions and Answers

What is the purpose of preoperative wedging in the gingival embrassure and bitine rings for Class II direct composite restorations?

  • To separate teeth and re-establish proximal contact with the composite restoration (correct)
  • To achieve proper occlusal relationship
  • To improve the adhesion of the composite restoration to the tooth surface
  • To prevent microleakage around the restoration

What type of tooth preparation design is indicated when only the proximal surface is defective, without any lesions on the occlusal surface?

  • Scooped-out appearance prep
  • Class II amalgam tooth preparation
  • Box-only tooth prep (correct)
  • Facial or lingual slot prep

What is the purpose of the proximal extensions prepared using another instrument with straight sides in a scooped-out appearance prep?

  • To create a bevel for better adhesion of the composite restoration
  • To maintain pulpal and axial depths uniformity
  • To prepare walls that are 90 degrees or greater (correct)
  • To aid in separating teeth for better access to the lesion
