Hi mrswinidm
These are some correction and there explanation... Please correct me, If I m wrong..
Thank you.


1. In a Class I occlusion the buccal cusps of maxillary teeth occlude
A. with the lingual surface of the mandibular teeth.
B. in the central fossa of the mandibular teeth.
:thumbup: C. with the top of the buccal cusp of the mandibular teeth.
D. with the buccal surface of the mandibular teeth

Actually In Class 1 occlusion the mesio-buccal cusp of maxillary teeth occlude with buccal groove of mandibular teeth.....
Buccal groove is on buccal surface ... so correct answer is C

3. An ideal Class II cavity preparation for an amalgam restoration in a primary molar should have a
A. proximal box that diverges occlusally
B. reverse curve. C. proximal retention grooves.
:thumbup:D. rounded axiopulpal line angle.
E. definite bevel on the gingival cavosurface angle.

As rounded axiopulpal line angle is reduce the occlusal stress...which reduce chances of restoration fracture.

6. The gingival margin of the preparation for a full crown on a posterior tooth, with a clinical crown that satisfies the requirements for retention and resistance, should be placed
A. 0.5mm subgingivally.
:thumbup: B. on the enamel. C. supragingivally. D. at the cemento-enamel junction. E. at the gingival margin

Gingival margin should be placed 1mm coronal to the cemento enamel junction.. so it is definately on enamel either supra or subgingivally.... as both of them have there own indication and contra-indication by only depend on retention resistence form we cant judge it
Definately gingival margin should never at the cemento enamel junction or at the gingival margin.....
As there is enough retention and resistence form... and as it is posterior teeth where esthetics have no prime important so no need to put gingival margin at 0.5mm subgingivally... but other factor such as DMF index, Age, Caries, Hight of crown may play its role in decision regarding gingival margin

We can put gingival margin, supra gingivally as that is posterior teeth and it has sufficient retention and resistance form but other factor also plays there role...

So Preference should be given out of Supra gingivally or on enamel....

12. The principal microorganism in aggressive periodontitis (juvenile periodontitis) is
A. porphyromonas gingivalis.
B. fusobacterium vincenti.
:thumbup: C. actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans.
D. prevotella intermedia


About how many milliliters (ml) of saliva do the salivary glands secrete on a daily basis?
1. 150
2. 750
:thumbup: 3. 1500
4. 1750

Daily secretion of saliva normally ranges between 800 and 1500 milliliters, as shown by the average value of 1000 milliliters
Reference from Guyton and C.C.Chettargy

Hi

I am also writing the upcoming ACFD EE Exam in May. Can someone please help me in regards to the best resources needed for preparation of the EE. I've tried to get information from UBC but only have had frustration dealing with them, if someone can point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
 
Dear EE2007 ... you r right that supra gingival seems to very close to right so in my last statement i had pointed that both of them looking right... but as you know enamel is right in any condition... so i had pointed on enamel but.... not sure 100% about supra gingival.

I appreciate if anyone have reasonable explanation to eliminate confussion regarding this...
Thanks..

Hi
Let me try. Whenever we are working in the posterior quadrants the most important aspect of margin placement is to place it in a hygenic area, thus to place them supragingivally as aesthetics is not a concern and the main concern here is ease of assessibility to clean which is best achieved by supra gingival margins. As far as placing it on the enamel, if you reflect back the thickness of enamel near the gingival margin would be less than 0.5 mm and so whenever we prep any margins 90% of the time we are in dentin. So the correct answer is supragingivally.

Had it been a prep for veneers then your answer would have been enamel as we need atleast 50% enamel to get better bonding. And most veneers are done in the anterior segments.

hope this clears the doubts.
 
thank you very much for clearing doubt by your explanation...

hi guys, i need ur help in the following question.

The amount of oxygen bound to hemoglobin:
1. is directly proportional to the partial pressure of O2
2. increases if the tempreature increases
3. decreases if the PCO2 increases
4. increases if DPG concentration increases
5. is constant between PO2 of 40 and 100 mmHg

I think both 1 and 3 are correct. but the deck says the answer is 3. pls kindly explain me why 1 is false. thanks in advance.

I scored 98% in part I NBDE in the year 1999, then, went on to do my Ph.D. in Molecular genetics and now, am seriously thinking of reviving my dental links in Canada! I want to take the EE in May 2007.

thanks,

drblack; I might not agree with you on two questions: 14 and 3. Thanks for posting this.
 
Hi
Answer for 3 is-
