The use of a reservoir on the sprue of a wax pattern decreases:
A. volumetric changes in the casting
B. casting porosity from inclusion of gases
C. casting porosity from inclusion of foreign bodies
D. casting porosity during solidification.
in contemporary fixed prosthodontics, page 682 one of the requirements is the metal within the sprue must remail molten longer than the alloy that has filled the mold. this provides a reservoir to compensate for shrinkage during solidification...
thus, i think the naswer is A

👍 A is the right answer
i still think it is D becoz the manner in which the casting solidifies it produces porosity if there is not enough metal in the reservoir.
I think porosity is created by entrapement of gases of the molten metal and I don't see how can the metal reservoir can correct that.

When a removable partial denture is
fabricated to occlude with natural teeth, the
occlusal form of the artificial teeth is

D. None of the above. .
What do you think. Could you recommend any reference?

I think is B, the occlusal form of the remaining teeth
i still think it is D becoz the manner in which the casting solidifies it produces porosity if there is not enough metal in the reservoir.
I too think it is D It is even mentioned in skinners....
i think it should be occlusal form of the opposing teeth.I think is B, the occlusal form of the remaining teeth
so i pick D
i think it should be occlusal form of the opposing teeth.
so i pick D
there is no such an option in what Sarna wrote...also the remaining teeth include teeth in the same and opposing arch...so B looks ok to me..

i will choose C, need to provide a balanced occlusion.
http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/4445863/description.html
this is mentioned in the first part of the first paragraph of the above article.
I had a quick look and i think this article relates to occlusion of both upper&lower dentures.
I was thinking B, I remember reading about it but cannot find it anywhere.Is there any info in Decks?
i will choose C, need to provide a balanced occlusion.
http://www.patentstorm.us/patents/4445863/description.html
this is mentioned in the first part of the first paragraph of the above article.
balanced occlusion is required only for complete dentures...
I know it is difficult to imagine but casting porosity can be due 3 factors, entrapment of gases,inclusion of metal particles and solidification shrinkage, it is written in Mccrckn.
i think like Dr cc said this question has a very strong distractor so hopefully it won't be in the exam.

I think all of above ...chronic candidiasis may manifest erithematous lesions...
i mean since the answer should be "the occlusal form of the opposing tooth ",and there is not such an option, the D, "none of the above" is the right pick.
there is no such an option in what Sarna wrote...also the remaining teeth include teeth in the same and opposing arch...so B looks ok to me..

You are well prepared Leda. I looked it up - in erythematous candidiasis there may be lesions resembling median rhomboid glossitis, however it is confusing whether you can call them a smooth red tongue in general, because it is a patch. But I guess you are right, all of the above.

it is called mirror tongue, looks smooth and red.

Neither is correct in my oppinion...Actually you are treating four surfaces of the teeth,mes, dis. incisal and lingual and you should bill only for those.However there is no such alternative so I think the right answer for this question would be A.

I just noticed they are both class IV so we are treating, mesial, distal, lingual, incisal and facial...do there is 5 surfaces.. tha right answer is C , one cavity five surfaces...

Hi Drpuri18
Remember why we use antibiotic prophylaxis for Dental Patients
"Prophylactic administration of antibiotics
is thus recommended for patients who run the
risk of endocarditis and on whom dental procedures
or oral manipulations likely to cause bacteremia are
performed" Oral Surgery
look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocarditis
what are the causes of myocardial infartion
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_infarction
From that we conclude that it is not necessary antibiotic prophylaxis for patients with myocardial infarction
cardiac conditions do not require endocarditis prophylaxis:
Negligible-risk category (no higher than the general population)
Isolated secundum atrial septal defect
Surgical repair of atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect, or patent
ductus arteriosus (without residua beyond 6 months)
Previous coronary artery bypass graft surgery
Mitral valve prolapse without valvular regurgitation
Physiologic, functional, or innocent heart murmurs
Previous Kawasaki disease without valvular regurgitation
Previous rheumatic fever without valvular regurgitation
Cardiac pacemakers (intravascular and epicardial) and implanted
defibrillators

Association. JAMA 277:17941801, 1990.
