I looked also in the NBDE first aid review and it says there: carotid & submandibular triangle - contend: Hypoglossal n. (to rule anything else out) thanks for clearing that up
this Q is bs ...so confusing - but hypoglossal is the right answer
I have also 2 Q's:
1.The immediate side shift (bennett movement) influences the
A - MD position of the cusps (ans)
B - FL position of the cusps (my answer)
C - Position of the central fossa
D - Depth of the distal fossa
E - Position of the distal fossa
I thought that the bennett movement is a lateral side movement so how does it change the MD position which is more ant.-posts. (facio-lingula makes more sense to me)
2. The dentulous mouth, placing the mandible in the retruded path of closure usually results in...
A - an increase in occlusal vertical dimension
B- an increase in horizontal overlap
C - a decrease in vertical overlap
D - all of the above (ans)
E - none of the above
Would you not raise the vertical dimension if ur cusps are placed in a retruded path ?
can any1 explain that?
