Questions and Answers

What was the purpose of comparing the three different air-abrasion powders in the study?

To assess their influence on the susceptibility of enamel to acid challenge (correct)

To analyze their impact on dental hard tissue microhardness

To investigate their role in enzyme production

To study their effect on enamel surface roughness

Why did the study use air-abrasion operating parameters that minimize selective removal of bulk enamel?

To maximize the roughness of the enamel surface

To enhance the penetration of acid into the enamel

To increase the microhardness of the enamel

To avoid excessive enamel surface loss (correct)

What is alumina powder more suited for?
