condensation precedure

condensation

lowers the mercury content in the restoration

increased strength and decreased corrosion

a lower mercury content in the restoration leads to?

preparation walls and matrix

condesation ADAPTS the amalgam to the [?]

“ick” sound

indication that there are still voids present

facilitate PROPER CONDENSATION of the amalgam

importance of filling in INCREMENTS

1mm

Fill the amalgam carrier the amount of amalgam that will fill the preparation by [?]

amalgam carrier

Carry the amalgam to the prepared cavity using [?]

pulpal or gingival (proximal box)

use the condenser in a [?] direction

smaller nib

on initial placement, the [?] of the plugger is used

All the force is CONCENTRATED over a SMALLER SURFACE AREA, therefore LESS EFFORT is exerted

reason for using the smaller nib of the plugger on initial placement

gingival, buccal, lingual, matrix, axial

plugging is done in which directions?

proximal box

area that is condensed first to avoid voids

to avoid voids

reason why proximal box is condensed first

mesially (distally)

proximal contact

In the proximal box, CONDENSE [?] to ENSURE [?] with the adjacent tooth.

halfway
larger

after adding and condensing amalgam until [?] the preparation depth, change the condenser to the [?] one until the preparation is entirely filled up

injure
enamel margin

When occlusal margins are approached, exercise care NOT TO [?] the [?]

cavosurface margin

You should CONTROL THE AMOUNT OF FORCE YOU EXERT when approaching the[?] so that you WONT BREAK IT

overpacked
1mm

The occlusal margins should be covered and [?} at least [?]

To remove the MERCURY RICH SURFACE and ensure well-condensed amalgam with the CORRECT RATIO left on the teeth

reason for overpacking

neither wet or dry (1:1 ratio)

FOR PROPER CONDENSATION: the mix should be?
