Questions and Answers

What is the primary advantage of digital fiber optic transillumination imaging over traditional X-rays in detecting early cavities?

  • It uses harsh white light for better cavity detection
  • It provides a more accurate diagnosis of gum disease
  • It is more sensitive and uses near-infrared light (correct)
  • It is less expensive and more accessible to patients

    • What is the primary function of Healozone technology in restorative dentistry?

  • To simplify the application of self-adhesive composites
  • To remove tooth decay using dental air abrasion
  • To apply ozone to the tooth to kill bacteria and add minerals (correct)
  • To analyze and store images for better diagnosis

    • What is the benefit of using fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) in restorative treatments?

  • They are only used in cosmetic dentistry procedures
  • They are less effective in restoring carious lesions or replacing a missing tooth
  • They are a relatively new class of materials used in restorative treatments (correct)
  • They are more expensive than traditional restorative materials
