    What part of the tooth is the hardest part of the entire body? - ProProfs

    What part of the tooth is the hardest part of the entire body?

    • Dentin

    • Pulp

    • Enamel

    • Gingiva

    Correct Answer
    A. Enamel
    Explanation
    Enamel is the hardest part of the entire body because it is the outermost layer of the tooth and is composed of a dense mineral called hydroxyapatite. Enamel is highly mineralized and serves to protect the underlying dentin and pulp from damage caused by chewing and other forces. It is also resistant to acid and bacteria, which helps prevent tooth decay.

    What plastic mouthpiece can provide protection from teeth grinding and injury during sports?

    • Bridges

    • Mouth Guard

    • Dental Sealants

    • Braces

    Correct Answer
    A. Mouth Guard
    Explanation
    A mouth guard is a plastic mouthpiece that can protect teeth from grinding and injury during sports. It acts as a cushion between the upper and lower teeth, absorbing the impact of any force or trauma that may occur during physical activity. This helps prevent teeth from chipping, breaking, or getting knocked out. Mouth guards are commonly used in contact sports such as football, boxing, and hockey, but they can also be beneficial for any sport that involves physical contact or the potential for dental injury.

    • 4

    Correct Answer
    A. 4
    Explanation
    Humans have four types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. Incisors are used for cutting and biting, canines are used for tearing and grasping, premolars are used for crushing and grinding, and molars are used for grinding and chewing. Each type of tooth serves a specific function in the process of chewing and breaking down food.

    What is the artificial device that can be used to place the teeth under tension for a long period of time?

    • Veneers

    • Dentures

    • Bridges

    • Braces

    Correct Answer
    A. Braces
    Explanation
    Braces are an artificial device that can be used to place the teeth under tension for a long period of time. They consist of brackets, wires, and bands that are attached to the teeth and apply gentle pressure to gradually move them into the desired position. By exerting constant tension, braces can effectively correct misaligned teeth and improve the overall alignment of the jaw. Veneers, dentures, and bridges are not designed to place teeth under tension for an extended period, making braces the correct answer.

    What is the general name for the disease of the teeth, including cavities? - ProProfs

    What is the general name for the disease of the teeth, including cavities?

    • Tooth Inflammation

    • Tooth Decay

    • Tooth Sensitivity

    • Plaque

    Correct Answer
    A. Tooth Decay
    Explanation
    Tooth decay is the correct answer because it refers to the general name for the disease of the teeth, including cavities. Tooth decay occurs when the outer layer of the tooth, known as the enamel, is damaged by acids produced by bacteria. This leads to the formation of cavities or holes in the teeth. Tooth decay is a common dental problem that can cause pain, sensitivity, and the need for dental treatments such as fillings or root canals.

    What does not to belong to the group as teeth treatments?

    • Floosing Teeth

    • Rinsing Teeth

    • Teeth Bleaching

    • Teeth Whitening

    Correct Answer
    A. Teeth Bleaching
    Explanation
    Teeth bleaching is the only option that does not involve a treatment for improving the health or function of teeth. Floosing teeth helps in removing food particles and plaque from between the teeth. Rinsing teeth with mouthwash helps in maintaining oral hygiene and preventing gum diseases. Teeth whitening is a cosmetic procedure that helps in removing stains and discoloration from the teeth. However, teeth bleaching is solely focused on changing the color of the teeth for aesthetic purposes, rather than addressing any dental issues.
