'Neutral fats' are mono-, di-, or triesters of glycerol with fatty acids, and are therefore termed monoacylglycerol, diacylglycerol, or triacylglycerol, as appropriate. 'Acylglycerols' includes mixtures of any or all of these.

7) most powerful jaw clousure muscle
> lateral pterygoid
> medial pterigoid
> temporal
> masseter

i think the ans to this one is temporalis muscle.

6.the greatest single factor in reducing radiation exposure in dentistry is
1.higher kvp
2.proper filteration
3.high speed film
4.collimation of xrays beam

i think that the ans shouldbe 4. collimation.......coz the term "radiation exposure in dentistry" would mean that we have to take into account the pesonnels working in the dental office as well and using a high speed film would protect only the patient.....if the que was only about the dental patient then i think the ans could have been high speed film ..........this is just my thinking though.


1. which of the following are clinical sign of gingivitis
a)losss of stippling
b)gingival hyperplasia
c)bleeding on probing
d) increased probing depth

A)1,2,3
B)1 and 2
C)2 and 4
D)4 only
E) all the above


i dont think that the ans is all of the above o thins question....coz gingival hyperplasia is all together a different entity than gingivitis.....only options a,c and to some extent d make sense.

Hi there,
If anyone can answer the following with explaination I,ll really appreciate it.
1. A lateral Cephalometeric radiograph for a patient with a 3mm anterior functional shift should be taken with the pt. in
a. max. intercuspation
b. initial contact
c. normal rest position
d. max. openining
e. protusive
2. Which one of the following describe the position of needle tip during administration of local anaesthetic for inf. alv. block?
a. ant. to ptergomandibular raphe
b. medial to med. pterygoid muscle
c. superior to lat. pterygoid muscle
d.lateral to sphenomandibular ligament

3.
Which of the following would be a Contrainfication for the use of a resin bonded fixed partial denture ( acid etched bridge or Maryland Bridge)?
a. class II malocclusion
b. an opposing free end saddle removable partail denture
c. previous orthodontic treatment
d. heavily restored abutment
4. the most common complication of veinpuncture is
a. syncope
b. hematoma
c. thrombophelbitis
d. embolous
5. In normal pulp which of the following is leastly to appear histologically
a. cell-free zone of weil
b. palisade odontoblastic layer
c. lymphocyte and plasma cell
e. undifferentiated mesenchymal cells

If anyone can answer the following with explaination I,ll really appreciate it.
1. A lateral Cephalometeric radiograph for a patient with a 3mm anterior functional shift should be taken with the pt. in
a. max. intercuspation
b. initial contact
c. normal rest position
d. max. openining
e. protusive

i think that the ans to this shd be (b) initial contact.... coz that would give us an exact view of the various denal or skeletal anomalies that the patient might be having....this one is just a guess though.

2. Which one of the following describe the position of needle tip during administration of local anaesthetic for inf. alv. block?
a. ant. to ptergomandibular raphe
b. medial to med. pterygoid muscle
c. superior to lat. pterygoid muscle
d.lateral to sphenomandibular ligament

the ans is (d) lateral to sphenomandibular ligament
approximating structures when needle is in final position are
posteriorly : parotid gland and its contents
medially : lingual nerve , medial pterygoid muscle , sphenomandibular ligament
laterally : medial surface of mandible
superiorly : lateral pterygoid muscle , infratemporal fossa and its contents
inferiorly :inferior alveolar nerve and vessels,medial pterygoid muscle , myolohyoid nerve and vessel.

3.
Which of the following would be a Contrainfication for the use of a resin bonded fixed partial denture ( acid etched bridge or Maryland Bridge)?
a. class II malocclusion
b. an opposing free end saddle removable partail denture
c. previous orthodontic treatment
d. heavily restored abutment

dont know about this one.

4. the most common complication of veinpuncture is
a. syncope
b. hematoma
c. thrombophelbitis
d. embolous
i think the ans should be (b) coz the question asks the most common complication seen to a venipuncture....however the most common reaction to venipuncture or any kind of needle prick would be syncope but we cant count syncope as a complication.......and options (c) and (d) are quite adverse reactions and i dont think are common ones.

5. In normal pulp which of the following is leastly to appear histologically
a. cell-free zone of weil
b. palisade odontoblastic layer
c. lymphocyte and plasma cell
e. undifferentiated mesenchymal cells

its (c) lymphocytes and plasma cells.
options (a) , (b) , (d) are all a part of the normal pulp histology....but cells like lymphocytes and plasma cells appear only in cases of pulpal inflammation or infection...though some might argue that normal pulp does contain a few lymphocytes as well....but from the given choices i think i would pick (c) .

1- I don't know yet.
3- a -because I think that in malocclusion will have abnormal forces.
4- a -because in my practice I saw more syncopes than hematomas or others.I hope that is the good answer.

a. class II malocclusion
b. an opposing free end saddle removable partail denture
c. previous orthodontic treatment
d. heavily restored abutment

i think that the ans to this one could be (d) ...coz a heavily restored abutment would have less enamel surface left to be etched and thus the resin-enamel bond strength of maryland bridge would be compromised and not strong enough to withstand occlusal forces .

Hi,

Can anyone let me know what kind of material you reviewed for EE? Thanks.

Thanks Gursimran for the answers and also the explaination.

Thanks Gursimran for the answers and also the explaination.

hey u are most welcome.....they were very good questions that u had posted....so u too planning to give the exam on 13th may....

dental decks part1&2, american nbde papers. But many say it is mostly patr 2, which comes in the exam Hi,

Can anyone let me know what kind of material you reviewed for EE? Thanks.

Hi Everyone

I also agree with Gursimran that the answer should be heavily restored tooth due to the following reasons:

under occlusal stresses the heavilly restored tooth may break of and also a heavily restored tooth even if crowned may be a poor abutment as to crown this tooth one may have to do prophylactic endo and then post and core and such a tooth may not last long bearing the forces.

what does a nonstrategic tooth mean. it comes under contraindications of endodontic therapy

Aspirin burn causes which type of necrosis?

Pls answer this.Pls tell the source also. :thumbup:

Nonstrategic tooth would be a tooth that doesnot hold the occlusion and one can do without it like the 8's.

Hi guys!!!!!
I am planning to write my EE in may. I have come from India just now.What should I study and how should I plan? what materials should I refer. Please please help.....

Aspirin burn causes which type of necrosis?

Pls answer this.Pls tell the source also. :thumbup:
coagulation necrosis just a guess

2.gingivitis and periodontitis how will you judge???
3.periapical abscess treated by which antibiotics??
4. wells hybrid??[/QUOTE]
plz rely the above questions

Difference between gingivitis annd periodontitis would be from attachment loss.
In gingivitis there will be no attachment loss whereas periodontitis will have attachment loss.

Also you are right about aspirin burn being coagulation necrosis.

for perapical abcess clindamycin is best because it acts against g-ve bacteria

for perapical abcess clindamycin is best because it acts against g-ve bacteria
1. The most effective antibiotic was Chloromycetin. Yet it was felt that its medical contraindications far outweigh its use by the dental practitioner. 2. Tetracycline was the least effective antibiotic. 3. Penicillin, because of its high potency against microorganisms of the dental abscess, should be considered the drug of choice
this is what i found through internet i am a bit confused :confused: :confused:

Hi,
Regarding this following questions, everytime this question is posted here I always get different response, some says it,s A some say it,s E. Can anybody tell me the definite answer.
3. In order to acheive a proper interproximal contact when using a spherical allow, which of the following is/are essential?

1. a larger sized condenser
2. a thinner matrix band
3 a properly placed wedge
4. use of mechanical condensation

a. 1,2,3
b. 1 and 3
c. 2 and 4
d. 4 only
e. all of the above
Thanks
Nkhalid

1.a
2.c
3.b because large size condensor is essential to condense spherical alloy. Precontoured matrix band is required while using spherical alloy, not thin matrix band. More over thin matrixbands are difficult to adapt.
Wedges are essential during any class II preparations
Mechanical condensation may be done but this is not an essential criteria. I mean hand condensation may be used.
Please correct me if any body finds me wrong on this

Hey stelon
There is a typo for the above question. For c) it should be a "THIN" (not thick) broad palatal strap. I don't know if that will change your answer. I tried looking for the answer in the decks, but couldn't find it. What do you think?

Hey drblack
1. Answer is C by process of elimination. GTR is most successful in treating a 3 walled-infrabony defect. I think I got this info from the decks.

3. Answer is B since there is no fever or lymphadenopathy, you don't need a systemic treatment.

7. Answer is C. Reason: The older one gets the easier it is for one to gain weight due to slower metabolism. So 3 is wrong. 1 is wrong because gastric pH increases with age.

hi cheer up, yes you are right, it should be thick not the thin palatal bar. i read think palatal strap as thick palatal strap.its my mistake, in the decks it is written as too thick palatal bar have difficulty in pressing food backward for swallowing, so it should have difficulty in speech.



Hey stelon
There is a typo for the above question. For c) it should be a "THIN" (not thick) broad palatal strap. I don't know if that will change your answer. I tried looking for the answer in the decks, but couldn't find it. What do you think?

Thanks Nkhalid
But can you give me the source from where you got this answers because I am so confused about them specially question no 4 why you chose free gingival graft or why not apical repositioned flap.
Q no 6
and Q no 9 why u chose option C and not D.
If C is chosen as option
that means u are treating the perforation but perforation happened because of wrong preparation of canal so you need to prepare the canal right which is option D
but if u chose option D then you are not treating perforation. This is so confusing. Any advice on that. :confused: :confused: :confused:

Hi,
http://www.perio.com/b.html
www.medscape.com/medline/abstract/353978
These are the references by which you can see that on several adjacent teeth you use Free Gingival Graft.
About Q 6 I,m quite certain that answer is B because hydroxyappetite is highly biocompatible with the tissue and it also has tendancy to migrate , on the other hand it doen,t induce bone formation na d it has nothing to do with secondary infection. If anybody has better explaination please share it with us.
About question 9 if you,ll reprepare the canal so the post fits within the canal thats quite acceptable but waht about the perforation ,you have to seal that perforation and inorder to do that you have to raise the flap and seal off the perforation that,s why I chose C. If anbody has different opinion please correct me.

6.the greatest single factor in reducing radiation exposure in dentistry is
1.higher kvp
2.proper filteration
3.high speed film
4.collimation of xrays beam

i think that the ans shouldbe 4. collimation.......coz the term "radiation exposure in dentistry" would mean that we have to take into account the pesonnels working in the dental office as well and using a high speed film would protect only the patient.....if the que was only about the dental patient then i think the ans could have been high speed film ..........this is just my thinking though.


1. which of the following are clinical sign of gingivitis
a)losss of stippling
b)gingival hyperplasia
c)bleeding on probing
d) increased probing depth

A)1,2,3
B)1 and 2
C)2 and 4
D)4 only
E) all the above


i dont think that the ans is all of the above o thins question....coz gingival hyperplasia is all together a different entity than gingivitis.....only options a,c and to some extent d make sense.

I don't think the ans. is collimation but is high speed films as the other dental personels will be behind a lead shield and protected from most of the radiation so to protect the patient use high speed films.

I think the ans. should be all of the above as a,b, and d are right so the only choice that contains the ans. a, b, and d is all of the above

2.Which of the following would be a greatest value in determining the etiology of an oral ulceration

A) History of oral lesion
b)cytological smear
c)systenic evaluation
D) laboratory tests

ANS A I am not sure
Trauma is the most common cause of ulceration of the oral mucous membranes. Traumatic ulceration may result from physical, chemical or thermal injury to the tissue. Diagnosis of traumatic ulceration is usually ascertained by the history alone
history plays a vital role in herpes and other infectious oral lesion

[3.A patient goes to a dentist and the pain subsides. What comes in to place
Options were like
sympathetic
parasympathetic ?
Sympathetic(but I,m not sure)

i think sympathetic because adrenaline -fight fear flight.pain goes due to fear

Hi,
I agree that it,ll be history of oral ulceration.

e) performing an electric pulp test

B or E ???? The answer is B: it's about the most definitive test.

3.Where healing occurs fast

after placing maxillary implants

After maxillary impl.,because maxillar has a greater blood stream.

4. A 60 year old patients request the replacement of tooth 46 which was extracted many years ago. Tooth 16 has extruded 1.8 mm into the space of missing tooth. The three unit fixed bridge replacing the mandibular first molar should be fabricated

A) To the existing occlusion
B) After extracting tooth 16 and replacing it with a FPD
C) After restoring tooth 16 to more normal plane of occlusion
D) After devitalizing and preparing 16 for a cast crown

The answer is D, because 1.8mm is a great amount of enamel . You can left it like that.End the expresion " more normal plane of occlusion",doesn't stand up. You need a normal plane of occlusion.

I don,t have any reference books for my answers,it is just my opinion.

Q 6- D Herpes is a viral disease.
Q 1- C

Hi Cool dude When did you take acfd May or sep ?
have u been accepted in any college. Which college u belong to?
I mean back Home ?

I took the ACFD IN sept 04 scored 80%
then in May05 scored 87%
I am right now in IDAPP 06 batch at the U of Toronto
I garduated from College of dental surgery Manipal

Q 6- D Herpes is a viral disease.
The problem is tjhat I found this:
Treatment of HSV gingivostomatitis

*

Symptomatic management of HSV gingivostomatitis is required for all patients (Category 1 recommendation)

Antiviral treatment

*

All children with HSV gingivostomatitis should be given oral aciclovir 15 mg/kg (to a maximum dose of 200 mg) five times daily for 5 days at the earliest signs of infection (Category 1 recommendation)
*

Intravenous aciclovir should be used for severe gingivostomatitis or for hospitalized patients (Category 3 recommendation)

Antiviral prophylaxis

*

Strategies for the prevention of HSV-1 infection in daycare centres remain to be decided (Research need recommendation)

Recurrent Herpes Labialis
Virus shedding and transmission of HSV-1

*

Persons with active orofacial lesions should avoid kissing (oral-oral contact) and oral sex (orogenital contact) to prevent transmission of HSV-1 (Category 3 recommendation)

Trigger factors

*

The likelihood of herpes labialis recurrences can be reduced by avoiding known trigger factors (e.g. trauma, stress, ultraviolet [UV] radiation) (Category 2 recommendation)
*

The use of a sunscreen may prevent UV-triggered recurrences of herpes labialis (Category 2 recommendation)

Acute episodic therapy
Topical therapy

*

Topical therapy with aciclovir cream (five times daily for 4 days) or penciclovir cream (2-hourly during the day for 4 days) can be used to shorten the duration of signs and symptoms of herpes labialis (Category 1 recommendation

Oral therapy

*

For acute treatment, oral aciclovir (200–400 mg five times daily for 5 days), famciclovir (500 mg three times daily for 5 days), or valaciclovir (2000 mg twice daily for 1 day), should be used to shorten the duration of herpes labialis (Category 1/2 recommendation)
*

Combination therapy with famciclovir 500 mg three times daily plus topical 0.05% fluocinonide gel twice daily for 5 days may be used to decrease lesion severity (Category 3 recommendation)




and this:Herpes Simplex
Treatment:

* mild conditions- bland mouthrinse is sufficient
* moderate cases- topical therapy
* severe cases- corticosteroids, systemic steroids, prednisone or antibiotics

On the other hand:
Contraindications: In bacterial/fungal skin infections, tuberculosis of the skin, syphilitic skin infections, chickenpox, eruptions following vaccinations and viral diseases of the skin in general. Fluocinonide ointment, gel and cream are contraindicated in those patients with a history of hypersensitivity to any of the components of the preparation.

and now I'm confused

Nkhalid
hello
i am trying to enter the exam in may 2006 so plz if you have examples of the qs to take idea about it i will be so thankfull i had decks 1 2 is the exam is almost the same qs ploz tell me

Drblack yes,you have right.I spoke with a friend of mine,how is student in a dentistry program and she give me the same answer even before I had said to her what the other options are. Thank you!And to Sonibun, too!

The Gow-Gates Mandibular Block

In 1973, Dr. George Gow-Gates published an article describing an alternative technique for blocking the mandible. The advantages and disadvantages of this technique are listed in the table below.

Advantages
# Can be used for patients with trismus

# Can be used for patients with a strong gag reflex

# Mouth is closed, so injection may be less threatening to patient

# Possibly less pain, because tissues are relaxed

# Good for macroglossic patients

Disadvantages
# Difficult to visualize depth of injection

# Difficult in patients with widely flaring ramus

# Difficult in patients with pronounced zygomatic ridge or internal oblique ridge


The landmarks for this injection are as follows:

* 10 mm above the coronoid notch

* the internal oblique ridge

* the pterygomandibular raphe

* the neck of the condyle

* the contralateral mandibular bicuspids

* an imaginary line from the corner of the mouth to the tragal notch of the ear (extraorally).


Technique

1. Ask the patient to open his or her mouth wide.

2. Palpate the coronoid notch and slide the finger or thumb to rest on the internal oblique ridge.

3. Move the finger or thumb superiorly approximately 10 mm.

4. Rotate the finger or thumb to parallel an imaginary line from the ipsilateral corner of the mouth to the tragal notch of the ear.

5. Insert the needle at a point between the palpating fingernail and the pterygomandibular raphe at the middle aspect of the fingernail.

6. Ensure that the barrel of the syringe is located over the contralateral bicuspids.

7. As the injection proceeds, ensure that the angle of the needle and syringe is parallel to the imaginary line from the corner of the mouth to the tragus of the ear.

8. Insert until bone is contacted (at the neck of the condyle), which should occur at a depth of approximately 25 mm. (Note: This is not a deeper injection, because the patient's mouth is open wide and, as a result, the condyle has translocated anteriorly to provide a target.)

9. Once bone is contacted, withdraw the needle tip 1 mm to prevent injecting into the periosteum, which would be painful.

10. Aspirate.

11. Inject a full cartridge.


Onset and duration

* Onset for hard tissue anaesthesia is 4 to 12 minutes, with the anterior areas taking the longest amount of time.

* The long buccal nerve will likely be anaesthetized.
