1) Which of the folllowing statements describe composite resins
I They can be placed and finished in the same appointment.
II. They are more color stable than unfilled resins.
III. They are similar to Amalgam with respect to coefficient of Thermal expansion.
IV. The finished surface tends to be somewhat rough.
Answer- A - I , II B. I ,IV C. I, III IV , D. II , III , E. II , III ,IV F. All the above

2) Pulpal irritation would not be expected from a restorative material , provided the minimum thickness of the material was
A 0.2 mm B. 0.5 mm C. 1 mm D. 2 mm E. 3 mm
 
I think i am preety sure it has to do with the amount of time, as early colonization is predominent with positive bact and as the deposits become older it changes to negative colonization.

thnks dental doc80

With the development of gingivitis, the sulcus
becomes predominantly populated by
A. gram-positive organisms.ANS
B. gram-negative organisms.
C. diplococcal organisms.
D. spirochetes

As in gingivits there is equal population of gram positive and gram negative organism.. Can you please explain the preference for gram positive organism.

In restoring occlusal anatomy, the protrusive
condylar path inclination has its primary influence
on the morphology of
A. cusp height.
B. anterior teeth only.
C. mesial inclines of maxillary cusps and
basic stuff if you remember occlusion this is how it work visualise it and u will get the ans
distal inclines of mandibular cusps.
D. mesial inclines of mandibular cusps and
distal inclines of maxillary cusps.ANS

can you please explain
 
Initially the plaque bacteria are gm+ve cocci...then this shifts to gm+ rods and then in the end gm-ve bacteria and filamentous bacteria come into the picture.......
 
157) what is the cause of epulis fissuratum
a. unstable denture
b. under extention
c. over extention-------ANS
d. traumatic occlusion

Epulis fissuratum is caused by Overextended ill fitting dentures flanges.......Unstable denture in itself will not cause epulis fissuratum , though it will cause other problems like sore mucosa or ulcerations etc....
 
What is the Max amount of lidocain 2% with epinephrin 1:100000 for 44lb kid?
a)60mg
b)80mg
c)100mg
d)120mg

sorry dental doc I deffer from you in this Please check following link
"Epulis fissuratum is a common reaction to chronic
injury from unstable dentures"

You are right abt "organism in dental plaque" dental doc but the question is abt presence of microonrganism in Gingival sulcus during intital phage of gingivitis. And according to Caranza's clinical periodontology "both organism gram positive and gram negative are in equal amount during gingivitis in gingival sulcus" So I am a bit confused...

I did read the article on the link that u posted.However in this article they are talking about epulis fissuratum from a different point of view and have not discussed it's etiology in detail.
I am posting 2 links that u can refer
http://www.emedicine.com/derm/topic654.htm
http://www.zhub.com/pathology/listings/37.html
Both the articles state clearly that E F is caused by overextended borders of ill fitting dentures. The key word is overextendded denture flanges here. Evn in clinical practice when u see a case of EF u notice hyperplastic tissue in the mucobuccal folds caused by over-extended denture.
Well this is just my opinion on this matter. I could certainly be wrong , but i would still go with overextended denture borders as the main cause of epulis fissuratum.

well even in gingival sulcus the organisms initially found would be gm+ve aerobic and then later on gm-ve would come i guess......cant argue wid dr caranza....😛
 
What is the Max amount of lidocain 2% with epinephrin 1:100000 for 44lb kid?

hey,
Acc. to dental decks..max allowable dose for 2% lidocaine with 1:100,000 epinephrine should be 3.2 mg/lb...so ans should be 44*3.2= 140.8mg.....which is not given in options.😕
help with this

well i dont know abt dental decks but i remember it reading in Malamed that dis is d way to calculate dosage (4.4 mg/Kg or 2 mg/ pound).....
May be i am wrong since i read this some while ago...but this formula has worked for me so far in solving questions like these....
hope this helps..

ps: not everything given in dental decks is accurate and current.

hey thanx for correcting me. 2mg/lb is right for children ..so ans would be 80. But for adult 3.2mg/lb will solve questions.
hey i have another ques too.
Which of the foll. is not the characterstic of tetacycline.
They predispose the monilial superinfection
or
they are effective substitute for peniillin for prophylaxis against Infective endocarditis
 
At a PH of 7.8 lidocaine will exist in
1. nonionised form
2.an equal mixture of ionised and nonionised form
Ans 2 is given but i think 1 should be the ans.

the dissassociation ph of lidocaine is 7.8 hence at this ph it will exist as an equal mixture of ionized and non-ionized form...hence the ans (2) is correct..
 
Thanks..

Following loss of a permanent maxillary
incisor in the normal arch of an ll-year-old
child, a space maintainer is necessary
because
1, space closure is rapid in the incisor
area.
2. allowance must be made for forward
growth.
3. a diastema between incisors must be
maintained.
4. incisors always move laterally, never medially
 
Which of the following often occur during
orthodontic therapy?
1.an incresed sensitivity to EPT
2. an decreased sensitivity to EPT
3.hyperemia of pulp
4. Demineralization of enamel adjacent
to appliances in patients with poor
oral hygiene

ans is given 2,3,4...my confusion is if there is pulp hyperemia ..then there should be increased sensitivity with EPT
 
Thanks..

well wat choice (2) means is dat the tooth will respond to a lower current on the EPT.....the explanation which u have in ur mind is absolutely correct...it's jus dat the english of the question is badly framed......
hope dat helps..
 
to expose a mandibular lingual torus of the pt who has afull complement of teeth the incision should be

1) semilunar
2) paragingival
3)in the gingival sulcus and embrasure area
4) directly over the most prominent part of the tourus
5)inferior to the lesion , reflecting the tissue support

i think its either 3 or 4 but not sure . input would be highly appreciated

3 would be the answer
 
1, space closure is rapid in the incisor
area.

Is it true...
and for premature loss of primary anterior teeth dont reuire space maintainers essentially...right?

Which of the fool is true regarding higher quality xray beams?
a.They r absorbed more by soft tissues.
b. they scatter more
c. both a n b
d. none

the correct ans is choice (3).....we never give an incision directly on the torus...
hope this helps...

a.They r absorbed more by soft tissues.
b. they scatter more
c. both a n b
d. none
(ans)(because high quality beams are lees absorbed by soft tissues and i dont think that it has any relation to scattering more)(just a guess though)...

you are right but it also depends on the situation...eg. loss of primary teeth prior to the eruption of primary canines will require space maintainer , but not if the anterior teeth are lost after the eruption of canines.....
 
Does Anyone know answers to these questions:

1)In RPD why do we need tissue stops?

2)Whats least soluble: cement or base?

3) How many times can we pour up PVS impression

5) Which one enlarges gingiva? vlaproic acid or phenytoin

6) Tanaka and Jonstone vs Bolton analysis?

7) Cementoblastoma vs condensing osteitis?

8) Whcih elastomeric material is most stiff? and which one is least flexible?

9)Root PLaning is between? a)free gingival margin to JE b)alveolar crest and MGJ?

10) 8 yo pt comes with permanent incisor intruded , complains of headache and nausea, what do you do? refer to physician or observe for 24 hrs and if does not go away refer to physician.

11)20 yo pt with intruded incisor no pain or sign of fracture do you do ortho or let it reerupt?

12) Which surface of the MB root of maxillary first molar is more prone to perforation? M, D, B, L

Thanks

Hi Guys:

I'm looking for this pharmaco booklet...people say thatis very helpful..if anyone knows about it pleaseeeee..,let me know...Thanks....
 
ques..
the half life of a drug is 4 hours.if 2 gram of the drug is given after every 4 hours, what will be the amount in grams at the end of the third dose?

ans is 3.5 gram ..can any1 xplain?
 
The answer is 3.5gm, in the first 4hr- 2gm is absorbed, in the 2nd 4hr - 1 gm is absorbed and 1gm is excreted, and in the 3rd 4hr - 0.5 gm is absorbed and 1.5 gm is excreted = 3.5 gm
 
Nitrous oxide is not metabolized in body but it is excreted by the lungs because of the blood/gas partition coefficient.
 
Condensing osteitis - periapical inflammation but instead of bone destruction/resorption there is bone deposition.
Cementoblastoma- benign neoplasm of cementum,
Tooth may be vital in cementoblstoma whereas condensing osteitis it is not.




for every 4 hours the dose will reduce to its half
so after 1st 4 hour it will be -1mg
after taking next dose it would be total 3mg(1+2)
at end of 2nd 4 hour it would be 1.5 mg
and at the intake of 3rd dose it would be-1.5+2=3.5

period is 30 mg. This amount is contained in how many milliliters of the local
anesthetic?
a. 3
b. 6
c. 12
d. 24


thanks in advance
 
6ml (i think)
calculation
0.5%=5mg/ml
max 30mg
therefore,
30/5=6

The answer is 88 mg......hence i would go wid choice (B).......here's how i calculated it.......the recommended dosage is 4.4mg/Kg of body weight or 2mg/Pound.......
hope this helps.....


According to Monheim(LA textbook)
Lidocaine dose is 4.4 mg/kg=2mg/lb WHEN NOT ACCOMPANIED BY VASOCONSTRICTOR)
and
7mg/kg=3.2/lb when used with 1:50000 or 1,00,000 epinephrine

So this means that the right choice would be 120mg because 140mg is not the option....
 
38. reason not to have to replace class II amalgam? Open contact packing food, fracture at axiopulpal line angle area, recurrent decay radiographically, occlusal margins over carved

39. how to keep distal box of amalgam from being displaced proximally? Proximal retention grooves, converge facial and lingual walls, widen isthmus


41. after etch and primer, hybrid layer formed by what?


44. veracity as it refers to ethics?

39: proximal retention grooves appears to be best ans.

41: Hybrid layer consists of acid etched collagen fbers exposed on dentin surface impregnated with resin monomer (primer)

Tricky question. According to Malamed text, manufacturer recommends 6.6 mg/kg but malamed recommends 4.4 mg/kg or 2.0 mg/lb. I think I would go with author since it is more conservative, but who knows.
