Selective polishing (15?s)- ingredients, best way to polish to avoid damage, grit, what types | Extrinisic stains can be removed; Intrinsic stains cannot be removed; not therapeutic, but cosmetic; can cause bacteremia; med hx must be reviewed; Purpose: smoothest surface possible; presence of plaque doesn’t alter fluoride uptake; |
Porte polisher | wooden tips |
ODU explorer, Universal curette, and posterior sickle all used the same way | yep |
Pockets (infrabony, suprabony, etc.) | gingiva below or above |
Universal precautions | order: mask, glasses, gloves; Treat everyone as if they have communicable disease |
Occlusion I, II, and III | I: flush (mesiognathic) II: mand. back (retrognathic) III: mand. forward (prognathic) |
Overbite/jet | measured over 3mm, use probe; difference: vertical vs horizontal |

Vesicles and ulcers | Raised vs dimpled |
Attrition vs recession | tooth wear vs gum line receding… abrasion from instruments, then there’s that chipping at the CEJ that can happen. |
Autoclave/Sterilization | Steam and pressure, fastest, and most common |
OSHA requirements - hair, nails, earrings | Clean lab coat; Hair off collar and away from face; Fingernails short and no polish; No jewelry worn; Gloves in clinic area only; Face masks worn when ready to work on patient |
Tray set up - what is on it? | patient bib and napkin holder, cassette and instruments, cup of rinse, saliva ejector, a/w syringe tip, |
Dental chart | red, blue or black. black only for chipped. Blue is present. Red for what needs to be done. Circles, Xs, lines, dots, horizontal lines, vertical lines, Ss for sealants |
Sealants | not over decay, clean tooth real well and dry, |
Stannous fluoride | can cause brown stain, good on dentin, fills tubules |
Mottled enamel | fluorosis, rare cavities, not decayed |
Selective polishing (15?s)- ingredients | Abrasives, water, binders, humectants, flavoring agents, sweeteners and Fluoride |
Selective polishing (15?s)- types | Rate of abrasion determined by number, shape, size of particles. |
Selective polishing (15?s)- avoid damage | postpone if no home care; no hygiene education; gingival tissue extremely spongy and bleeds readily; immediately following deep sub-gingival scaling |
Selective polishing (15?s)- avoid damage | Light pressure, slow-motion and plenty of moisture. Low abrasive paste and rubber cup 90% to tooth surface with intermittent light applications. |
Air power polishing | NOT at soft tissues and rerinse before using; used after scaling and root planing; warm water and sodium bicarbonate under pressure, for extrinsic stains |
Unit setup | Gloves, mask and glasses at chair side, tray setup, x- rays on view box, chair lowered w/ lower right chair arm |
Leave dental unit as follows: | Light facing toward chair; |
