Questions and Answers

Match the following steps with the correct description in the step-back technique:

Insert files in a sequential order = Files are inserted into the root canal until the rubber stop contacts the occlusal reference point Work in a wet field = Irrigate often during the procedure Recapitulate often = Check the progress of the procedure frequently Start preparation 2-3 mm short of minor diameter = Modified Step-Back Technique is used

Match the following advantages with the correct description in the step-back technique:

Better tactile awareness = Keeps apical preparation small in its original position Ability to prepare proper apical stop = Gradual taper is achieved Keeps apical preparation small = Better tactile awareness is achieved Gradual taper = Ability to prepare proper apical stop is achieved

Match the following disadvantages with the correct description in the step-back technique:

Chances of pushing debris = It has a tendency to straighten the curved canal Time consuming = Debris may be pushed into periradicular tissues Difficulty in inserting instruments = It is a time-consuming process Straightening the curved canal = Difficulty may be encountered in inserting instruments

Match the following types of step-back technique with the correct description:

<p>Modified Step-Back Technique = Preparation is completed in apical third of the canal Passive Step-Back Technique = Provides gradual enlargement of the root in an apical to coronal direction</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the following descriptions with the correct type of step-back technique:

<p>Started 2-3 mm short of minor diameter = Modified Step-Back Technique Provides gradual enlargement of the root = Passive Step-Back Technique Combination of hand and rotary instruments = Passive Step-Back Technique Almost parallel retention form is achieved = Modified Step-Back Technique</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the following benefits with the correct type of step-back technique:

<p>Gradual enlargement of the root = Passive Step-Back Technique Reducing the occurrence of procedural errors = Passive Step-Back Technique Retains the original shape of the canal = Modified Step-Back Technique Provides better tactile awareness = Modified Step-Back Technique</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the following descriptions with the correct characteristic of step-back technique:

<p>Time consuming = Disadvantage of step-back technique Gradual taper = Advantage of step-back technique Keeps apical preparation small = Advantage of step-back technique Irrigate often = Thing to remember during step-back technique</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the following things to remember with the correct description in the step-back technique:

<p>Work in a wet field = Irrigate often during the procedure Recapitulate often = Check the progress of the procedure frequently Irrigate often = Work in a wet field during the procedure Always work in a wet field = Recapitulate often during the procedure</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the following descriptions with the correct type of step-back technique:

<p>Two types of step-back technique = Modified and Passive Step-Back Technique One type of step-back technique = Passive Step-Back Technique Three types of step-back technique = Modified, Passive and another type of step-back technique</p> Signup and view all the answers

Match the following procedural errors with the correct type of step-back technique:

<p>Transportation of the canal = Error that can be reduced by using Passive Step-Back Technique Ledge formation = Error that can be reduced by using Passive Step-Back Technique Zip formation = Error that can be reduced by using Passive Step-Back Technique Pushing debris into periradicular tissues = Error that can be reduced by using Modified Step-Back Technique</p> Signup and view all the answers
