Can someone help answers the questions below and also explain the reason. thanks!!

A 42-year-old female with a history of hyperparathyroidism presents with a complaint of bilateral pain in the temporomandibular joint on closing. She reports that her ears are occasionally “clogged”, and she sometimes experiences a “ringing” sensation. The dentist determines that these symptoms are related to her TMJ condition.

363. Which of the following will most likely be increased in this patient?
A intestinal calcium absorption
B intestinal organic phosphate absorption
C renal calcitriol production
D renal calcium excretion
E renal organic phosphate excretion

365. Examination reveals diminished parotid salivation due to middle ear involvement. Which of the following nerves is MOST likely involved?
A facial
B Lesser petrosal
C Greater petrosal
D Auriculotemporal
E Chorda tympanic

366. In this patient, which of the following regions of the articular surface of the TMJ is unlikely to be present?
A Calcified cartilage
B Subarticular bone
C Proliferative zone
D Fibrous articular layer
E Fribrocartilaginous zone

367. If the patient’s sensation of “clogged ears” is due to pressure on the auditory tubes, then which of the following nerves is providing this sensory invervation?

A Glossopharyngeal
B Lesser occipital
C Vestibulocochlear
D Zygomatic temporal
E Posterior deep temporal

A 10-year-old female with a history of acute lymphoblastic leukemia is undergoing orthodontic treatment that is complicated by poor oral hygiene. Oral examination reveals generalized cervical plaque and enlargement of the gingival. There is generalized bleeding on probing.

372. If this patient’s leukemia contributed to increased intraoral bleeding, then the increase is most likely due to which of the following condition?
A anemia
B Leukopenia
C Ca++ deficiency
D Thrombocytopenia
E Factor VIII deficiency

A patient with hepatitis C is scheduled for extraction of posterior teeth in the right lower quadrant due to advanced periodontal disease. Tooth #28 is abscessed and draining into medical soft tissue. Tooth # 30 shows a large carious lesion and is painful.

399. If the patient and dentist elect to extract Tooth #30, sectioning of the tooth will be required. The dentist should be aware of which of the following furcations on the tooth?
A one
B Two – mesial and distal
C Two – facial and lingual
D Three - mesial, distal and facial
E Three – facial, mesial, and lingual

E Three – facial, mesial, and lingual

Last answer s'd be mesial and distal not facial, lingual

 

[passiondentistr]

the last ans is for sure Facial , Lingual furcations but will have mesial , distal roots

in hyperparathyroidism shouldnt the calcium excretion decrease?

plz explain

You are right, my bad. I was thinking about tooth sectioning.
You are Correct.

the answer is A....i guarantee it.

PTH increases renal tubular reabsorption of Ca (therefore, a decrease in renal calcium excretion) and increases intestinal Ca absorption (choice A).

this is why you should look up the answers to your own questions when studying and not rely on SDN.

 

[passiondentistr]

hey yes the ans is A .. me too was looking for smone to point out ...thanks

 

[passiondentistr]

A person with tooth-ache, fever , diffuse,firm facial swelling n has neutrophillic leukocytosis . the facial swelling is due to
a. granulomatous inflammation
b . cellulitis

Sterile cutaneous manifestations [rashes] are seen in all except
a. scarlet fever
b. rheumatic fever
c. tertiary syphilis
d. meningiococcal meningitis

calciuria is one of the sign of hyperparathyroidism.

even I'll go for increased renal calcium excretion becoz intestinal calcium absorption is the predominant function of vit D and PTH just assists with vit D in this function ..... PTH function is no doubt increased calcium absorption by kidney but when serum calcium increases beyond limits as in hyperparathyroidism , renal calcium excretion occurs

Can you please tell me from where did you get all these questions? Is this from any book? I need to work on clinical questions as well. But could not find anything to read other than decks.

It is from 2004 pilot exam

hi,if A is right ,so E is also right. still confusing~~

A Calcified cartilage
B Subarticular bone
C Proliferative zone
D Fibrous articular layer
E Fribrocartilaginous zone


anybody can explain Subarticular bone?

thanks!

 

[anticaries]

Guys .. how can i get the most recent exams or even individual questions ???!! the ones i have r mad old !!!
p.s im taking my test in 10 days !!!!!!!
any help .. thanks : )

 

[skabbaraju]

hi,if A is right ,so E is also right. still confusing~~

The answer s'd be increased intestinal ca+2 absorption. The last option is not correct as it s'd be inorganic PO4-3 excretion and not organic. Hope this helps.

Is it not the patient wit Tertiary syphillis will also have signs of primary n secondary syphillis which includes maculopapaular rash...

.
how is it proliferative zone ??? shouldnt it b subarticular bone😕

I think the key word here is "sterile".....the rashes in syphilis are highly infective...correct me if im wrong

q] From the occlusal aspect , ehich mandibular premolar has most pentagonal form of its crown outline?
first
y shaped second
H shaped second
U shaped second

q] The contact area tat is mostly circular is located on the crown of which Maxillary premolar?
Mesial of first
mesial of second
distal of second

q] which of the crown surfaces of the teeth has a contact area theoritically located at the most cervical leval?

diatal of # 12
mesial of #3
mesial of # 6
distal of # 11
mesial of # 7

i m sure about this becoz u have to narrow out the choices between the distal contact areas n in this case it is distal CA of Lt. max. canine

 

[passiondentistr]

nybody guys ??? plzz confirm the ans
