  1. Self etch bonding does not remove the smear layer but modifies it, leaving the smear plugs intact
  2. Self etch products remove & replace the smear layer
  3. Self etch bonding removes collagen fibrils and replaces them with resin plugs
  4. Self etch systems etch and bond simultaneously

Answer(s): A



In restoring multiple anterior teeth with ceramic restorations, the desired incisal plane can BEST be communicated to the laboratory by:

  1. Paralleling the incisal edges of the preparations.
  2. Indicating the incisal plane on the diagnostic cast.
  3. Including the patient's photograph with the lab prescription.
  4. Paralleling the unprepared mandibular incisal plane.

Answer(s): B



There is a direct relationship between the f-stop and depth of field. Which is correct?

A patient would like to brighten her smile in addition to restoring her missing tooth #8. however, she is not interested in dental implants. She would also like to close the spaces between her existing teeth. Unfortunately, due to financial concerns she can only restore teeth ##7-10.
Reviewing the photograph above, how would you achieve golden proportion?

  1. Fabricating a three-unit bridge and a single veneer on tooth #10 will easily achieve golden proportion
  2. In office bleaching along with direct bonding on teeth ##7, 9, and 10, and a Maryland bridge to replace tooth #8 will easily achieve golden proportion
  3. Direct resin bonding in conjunction with a removable partial denture will achieve golden proportion
  4. It is impossible to achieve golden proportion unless more teeth are restored
