A type of dental cement that releases heat during mixing. It is commonly used for permanent restorations.

A dental cement made from zinc oxide and eugenol. It is known for its soothing properties and is often used for temporary fillings.

A dental cement that releases fluoride and can be used for both restorations and bonding.

A dental cement that is known for its strong bond to tooth structure and is often used for permanent restorations.

A material used in dental procedures that acts as a bond between different materials.

Alginate is a type of dental impression material that sets irreversibly after mixing with water, creating a mold of teeth and gums.

Preliminary impressions are taken before more detailed impressions are needed for procedures like crowns or bridges.

Irreversible hydrocolloids are impression materials that, once mixed with water, cannot be reversed back to their original liquid state.

Hydrocolloid materials are impression materials that contain water as a major component.

Alginate is used for preliminary impressions because it is inexpensive, easy to use, and sets quickly.

The act of breaking down food into smaller pieces by pressing it between two surfaces.

These teeth are located at the back of the mouth. They have flat surfaces and are wider than other teeth.

The main function of molars is to crush and grind food into smaller pieces.

Teeth #1, #2, and #3 are molars.

This process is essential for digestion and helps the body absorb nutrients.

Surfaces that come into contact with splashes, spatters, or droplets of saliva or blood, but not with contaminated instruments or supplies.

Cleaning splash, spatter, and droplet surfaces at least once a day ensures a clean and hygienic environment for both the dental professional and the patient.

While instruments and supplies require more frequent cleaning due to direct contact with patients, splash, spatter, and droplet surfaces can be cleaned less often.

Cleaning surfaces that come into contact with contaminated instruments or supplies should be done between each client.

To reduce the risk of spreading infections, it is crucial to maintain a clean dental environment.

The primary bacteria responsible for tooth decay. These bacteria thrive on sugars and produce acids that attack tooth enamel.

Another type of bacteria involved in dental caries. They play a significant role in progressing cavities by further eroding tooth enamel.

A sticky film that forms on teeth, containing both good and bad bacteria. It acts as a breeding ground for mutans streptococci.

Dental caries, also known as tooth decay, is a disease that damages tooth enamel. It is primarily caused by specific types of bacteria that feed on sugar.

The process where acid from bacteria breaks down and erodes tooth enamel, leading to cavities.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is responsible for registering and regulating disinfectants and sterilants used in the United States.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical devices, including disinfectants and sterilants.

Instruments that come into contact with mucous membranes or non-intact skin, requiring sterilization to prevent infections.

A disinfectant that kills bacteria and viruses, making it suitable for cleaning surfaces contaminated with potentially infectious materials.

An EPA-registered disinfectant specifically designed for surfaces contaminated with potentially infectious patient material.

An antiseptic containing iodine, recommended for cleaning surfaces contaminated with potentially infectious patient material.

Alcohol, ethylene oxide and glutaraldehyde are NOT EPA-registered intermediate-level hospital disinfectants for surfaces contaminated with potentially infectious patient material.

Iodophor is an EPA-registered disinfectant, making it the most suitable choice for cleaning surfaces potentially containing infectious patient material.

A quick and firm snapping motion is the best way to remove alginate impressions from a patient's mouth. This method ensures the removal of the impression without damaging it or harming the patient.

Using a firm snapping motion to remove alginate impressions allows for a quick and efficient removal, minimizing discomfort for the patient while ensuring the integrity of the impression.

Before removing an alginate impression, gently break the seal between the impression and the patient's tissues. This helps prevent discomfort and potential damage.

Alginate impressions are taken to create a mold of the patient's teeth and gums. They are used for procedures such as creating models for dentures, bridges, or crowns.

When removing an alginate impression, avoid tugging, twisting, or pulling sideways. These actions could damage the impression and cause discomfort to the patient.

An automated external defibrillator (AED) is a portable medical device that can deliver an electrical shock to a person's heart to restore a normal heartbeat after cardiac arrest.

AEDs are designed to be used by non-medical professionals in emergency situations. They are relatively easy to operate, providing voice prompts and visual instructions to guide users.

AEDs work by analyzing the heart's rhythm and delivering an electric shock if necessary. This shock can restart a normal heartbeat if the heart is in a life-threatening rhythm like ventricular fibrillation.

AEDs are essential for increasing survival rates from sudden cardiac arrest. They are available in many public locations, like airports, schools, and gyms.

If someone collapses and is unresponsive, call for help immediately and then use an AED if available. Follow the voice and visual prompts from the AED.
