Lecture 13 (Class III, IV and V cavity preparations for composite restorations)

Tooth Preparation: General concepts for tooth preparation for composite restorations: 1. Conservation of tooth structure: Tooth preparation is limited to extent of the defect. For composite restorations, rule extension for prevention and proximal contact clearance, is not necessary unless it is required to facilitate proximal matrix placement. 2. Variable depth of pulpal and axial wall depth: Pulpal and axial walls need not to be flat. 3. Preparation of operating site: To facilitate bonding, tooth surface is made rough by using diamond abrasives. 4.

9- Operators in C++

An operator is a symbol that tells the compiler to perform specific mathematical or logical manipulations. C++ is rich in built-in operators and provide the following types of operators −
• Arithmetic Operators
• Relational Operators
• Logical Operators
• Bitwise Operators
• Assignment Operators
• Misc Operators
This chapter will examine the arithmetic, relational, logical, bitwise, assignment and other operators one by one.

Lecture 12 (Dental Amalgam)

Alloy is a union of two or more metals. Amalgam: Amalgam is an alloy of mercury with any other metal. Dental Amalgam: Dental amalgam is an alloy of mercury with silver, tin, and varying amounts of copper, zinc and other minor constituents. Dental Amalgam Alloys: Dental amalgam alloys are silver tin alloys with varying amounts of copper, zinc and other metals.................
