1
Q

Assessment strokes are

A

light, feather-like long overlapping strokes

2
Q

*Debridement strokes

A

moderate shaving strokes

3
Q

*Calculus Removal strokes are

A

firm, short, biting strokes

4
Q

3 types of calculus removal instruments

A

Area specific curets-toe
Universal curets-toe
Sickles-triangle

5
Q

What 2 surfaces form the cutting edge

A

Face and lateral surfaces

6
Q

What is the terminal shank at in relation to parallel tooth without adapting for
sickle scaler
universal curet
area-specific curet

A

sickle scaler and universal curet is at a 90 degree relation
and the area-specific is already at 70 degree angel for adatption

7
Q

What degree is needed to adapt for sickle scaler and universal curet

A

60-70 degree

8
Q
• Specific instruments designated for
anteriors and  posteriors
 • All designed for all surfaces
 • All designed for supra/slightly subgingival
use on ENAMEL ONLY 
• Standard/ rigid shank- removal of medium
to large size deposits 
• Lower shank must be slightly angled
towards the tooth surface to establish
proper angulation
A

Sickles

9
Q

Can a sickle scaler be used on posteriors

A

yes

10
Q

Can a sickle scaler be used on root surfaces

A

NO only enamel. it can slightly go subgingival though

11
Q

Sickle Anterior should have the shank leaning ___ surface using toward.

A

toward

12
Q
• All designed to be used in the anterior and
posterior 
• All designed for all surfaces 
• All designed for supra and subgingival use 
• Standard shank is normally more rigid
than the standard shank of an area-
specific curet 
• Lower shank must be slightly angled
towards the tooth surface to establish
proper angulation
A

Universal Curets

13
Q

Terminal shank ___ with long axis for correct working end for universal curet

A

parallel

14
Q

universal curet: 1 double ended instrument can be used for appiclation for all anterior or posterior teeth

A

posterior

15
Q

• All designed for supra and subgingival use
• Two instruments are required to complete
each aspect of a posterior tooth.
• One instrument is required to complete
each aspect of an anterior tooth, but you
will use both ends of the instrument. What
other instrument do you use this way?
• Standard shank is flexible- removal of
light/moderate calculus.
• Lower shank is parallel to tooth surface to
establish proper angulation

A

Area specific curets

16
Q

1 instrument used for D

surfaces. 1 instrument used for B/L and M surfaces

A

site specific
