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!
 
for the question regarding sprue reservoir read Mccrck page 328-329 it says the reservoir is for extra metal hence reducing porosity due to shrinkage.so the answer shud be D i guess
 
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 have another reference for this review of fixed partial dentures by Lovely.M pg285 search it on google books if u want
 
Logically it is both A and D. I wouldn't bother with this question, it doesn't have a clear answer and because of that I don't think we can see it in an exam.
 
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.
 
p.31

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

A. endodontic condition of the abutment
teeth.
B. occlusal form of the remaining teeth.
C. need to produce a fully balanced
occlusion.
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
 
Please, keep posting the page number, it will be easier to review questions later.

Ex: P660/Q5

Thanks.
 
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 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?


IT is mentioned in decks..so I will go with B ..occ form of remaining teeth

B. (1) and (3)
C. (2) and (4)
D. (4) only​
E. All of the above. 😕
 
answer has to be "c" acc to the fee guide. u can not claim more thn 5 surfaces of a single tooth whethr it's continuous or separate wall restorations.

do correct me if i m wrong!

agree with D
 
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..
 
I think all of above ...chronic candidiasis may manifest erithematous lesions...

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.

Yep , C is right

Reviewing :
Prophylaxis for endocarditis recommended in patients receiving dental care
High-risk category
• Prosthetic cardiac valves, including both bioprosthetic and homograft
valves
• Previous bacterial endocarditis
• Complex cyanotic congenital heart disease (e.g., single ventricle states,
transposition of the great arteries, tetralogy of Fallot)
• Surgically constructed systemic pulmonary shunts or conduits
Moderate-risk category
• Most congenital cardiac malformations other than above and below (see
next question)
• Acquired valvular dysfunction (e.g., rheumatic heart disease)• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
• Mitral valve prolapse with valvular regurgitation and/or thickened leaflets

Hey neptune ,

Thanks for the info but why not myo infarction
pls explain

What do you think?
d?

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 277:1794—1801, 1990.

in this question they expect us to guess what is the percentage of patients that do not do a good job with brushing at home...I am guessing A. 10-20 % provided that the majority are doing good homework....

54. What is the most successful treatment for

55. Slow extrusion is considered 1mm every ___
weeks.
A. 1 week
B. 2 weeks
C. 4 weeks
D. 6 weeks
E. 10 weeks

I think every 4 weeks
 
Could you explain why? I thought that systemic fluoride would cause even concentration throughout the enamel layer...

the young patient will get not only the effects of the systemic fluoride which will be reflected evenly throughout enamel thickness but also the topical effects of fluoride which accounts for greater concentration on the enamel surface...
 
help me with ths one, plz!
