Enamel cavosurface bevels finished with ultraspeed instruments.

Rating scores ranked the straight fissure bur first for producing the smoothest and most distinct bevel. The 40-fluted and 12-fluted finishing burs ranked second and third, respectively, and the superfine diamond stone was judged to produce the roughest and least distinct bevel. In selecting an instrument for finishing an external enamel cavosurface bevel, the results of this study suggest that a straight fissure bur will produce the most distinct and smoothest bevel when ultrarotational speeds are used. Results also indicated the superfine diamond stone to be the least desirable instrument for preparing a bevel in enamel.

Preclinical assessment of a technique alloy for teaching cast restorations.

The performance of second-year preclinical students who fabricated cast restorations with a technique alloy were compared to the performance of students who used a conventional gold alloy. Nine categories of casting fabrication were evaluated, and no significant differences in performance were found between the two groups of students. Thus, technique alloys can be used as economical substitutes for gold alloys in preclinical teaching situations.
