Hey Friends,

i'm starting this new thread only limited to Released Qs released by NDEB of Canada. They 660 pages looooooooooooooong!
So, another platform for all EE students to dance on and get each other's help in getting the right answer! :clap:

Good Luck!
 
In taking an impression with polysulfide or
silicone materials, if the heavy bodied tray
material begins to set before seating, the
resultant die will

A. not be affected dimensionally.
B. be overall smaller.
C. be overall larger.
D. develop a rough surface texture.
E. develop bubbles at the interface of
the syringe and tray material.

I think C, overall larger...
 
Of course you were right Leda!!!! Tighter in the mouth,so the die is smaller!
I think it is time to sleep, my brain has stopped working...
 
In restoration of proximal surface of posterior teeth,periodontal dev is most likely to develop when the restoration..
1.flat marginal ridge
2.have inadequate contact
3.overcontoured faciolingually
4.undercontoured gingivally

How will u manage a percussion sensitive tooth that responds normally to pulp testing
1.pulpectomy
2.occlusal adjustment
3.coronal pulpotomy
4.none of the above

A patient has draining sinus tract 6mm apical to free gingival margin of maxillary lateral incisor.u would
1.enucleate the sinus
2.check pulp vitality tests
3.test the tooth for percussion sensitivity
4.open the tooth without anaesthesia
5.open the pulp chamber and establish correct root length

Since this is the beginning of the thread, I would like to make a request that I am sure everyone agrees. Maybe the topic starter should put it in his first post for everyone to see:

When you ask a question also mention the page number the question is on, and on that specific page, what question number it is . For example something like Page 125 / Question 3 or in short P125/Q3 because it is easier to search.

This way it would be very easy to search for previously discussed questions and we make sure we don't ask the same questions over and over.

So what do you think?

though buccinator has weak role in modifying DB border of denture ..Masseter plays dominant role

I does not say: upper or lower?
 
pg37/Q281

How do you know the total question number? Did you number them or used some kind of software.
In the original PDF they are unnumbered, that's why I proposed to mention the page number and question number on the page (I thought it would be impossible to number all questions) but if you know of a way to number them please share ! 👍

Is it for both upper and lower denture? as I read man denture as mandibular ...
In that case u r right it is masseter and temporal tendon.

Yes, I checked, the question regarded a mandibular denture.
It must be masseter, so answer 1&2, although buccinator is not much of a factor here.
 
Following curettage and root planing, reduction in pocket depth is due to
A. shrinkage of the gingival tissue.
B. reattachment.
C. epithelial "adhesion" to the tooth.
D. healing of connective tissue.
E. All of the above.

What do you think?
C or E?

The predominant organisms associated with active periodontitis are
1. cocci.
2. rods.
3. spirochetes.
4. motile rods.

A. (1) and (2)
B. (3) and (4)
C. (1) only
D. (1) and (3)
E. All of the above.

are you going with option
buccinator and masseter that is 1&2 or
masseter and temporal which is 2 &3??

naah....i got the pcopy done......n numbering dem as im solving it....not used 2 d screen.....plus u cant put down notes if u want to....

page # 26 n 372

At his first post insertion appointment, a patient
with a new removable partial denture complains of
a tender abutment tooth. The most likely cause is

A. overextended borders of the partial.
B. inadequate polishing of the framework.
C. improper path of insertion. :xf:
D. the occlusion.

do reply with an explanation plz....
m debating on C n D.
 
Wud u like to tell me if we fail the last EE exam,what shall we do after for being a dentist in Canada?

C. epithelial "adhesion" to the tooth.
D. healing of connective tissue.
E. All of the above.

C or E?

As i read in Carranza, reattachment occurs in areas not previously exposed to the pocket (after surgical detachment for example).
So I don't know - C+D seem right to me. A perhaps too. But there is no such an option and it looks like E was the answer...
Should I rely on Carranza ?

Agree
 
i think D
LEDA, WHY DO YOU SAY 'A"?

as use of reservoir prevents localised porosity

Let me know if I m wrong

do u have ne explanation, sarna?
just because an abutment tooth is involved, i think "C - the path of insertion" ...but then again i may be wrong.... 😕

We can change all the factors given: perform endo in pulpal involvement, adjust rotated and tilted teeth during preparation, but we cannot change the constitution of the roots. D is THE LEAST desirable as the question asks.

Composite resin is CONTRAINDICATED as a
posterior restorative material in cases of
1. cusp replacement. ---confused as one of the dds did cusp replacement wth cmposite ie. distolingual cusp built🙁

margin.
4. inability to maintain a dry operating field.
A. (1) (2) (3)
B. (1) and (3)
C. (2) and (4) :xf:

E. All of the above. 👍

I agree with Sarna all the above

"The major indication for the use of posterior composites is the demand for esthetics by the dentist
and patient. Other criteria are non-involvement of cusps, minimal occlusal contact, no excessive wear, and
the isthmus must be no wider than one-third of the intercuspal distance. Remember: Composite is the
material of choice if the patient has a documented allergy to mercury.
Important: In the past, posterior composite restorations were contraindicated in a patient with a cariesactive
mouth. New concepts stress that you should manage the disease (i.e., dental caries) before or at
the same time as you are treating the consequence of the disease (i.e., by placing restorations). Therefore,
the current literature does not see a special problem for these restorations in caries-active patients. They
have as bad a prognosis as any other restorative treatment if the disease is not managed Simultaneously"

A. Two three surface restorations.
B. Two four surface restorations.
C. One five surface restoration.
D. One six surface restoration.
E. One eight surface restoration.

i think its D
 
I think It's B.
Dentist send claim according to cavity location and involving surfaces. In this case, it may be mesial and distal class IV, so it should be B: Two four surface restorations.

I would think B too becoz i see them puttin ght ecodes in and each filling shoul dbe reported separately,also if it is on the same tooth the code changes slightly but there definetly is a separate code.
