The exam will be on Class I,II,III,IV and V amalgam preparations, Class III, IV and V composite preparations and liners & bases. It's pretty much a test to see if we understand the theory behind all the work we've been doing in the Sim lab: retention form, resistance form, convenience form, convergence, divergence, pulpal floor depth, cavosurface line angles, axio-pulpal line angles, etc.
Here are examples of what I'm talking about:
Class I (OL) Involves Pits and fissures of posterior teeth, like the one pictured. Also involves lingual pits of maxillary anterior teeth and Occlusal 2/3rd ( Buccal/Lingual) of Posterior teeth. |
Class II (MO) Involves Proximal surfaces of Posterior teeth |
Class III Involves proximal surfaces of incisors and cuspids, does not involve the incisal edge |
Class IV Like Class III but it involves the Incisal edge. Look closely, u can see where the restoration differs from the actual tooth |
Class V Involves the gingival third (Facial /Lingual) of all teeth. ...and that's all I have time for. Wish me luck! |
