To clean the biting or chewing surfaces of the teeh, hold the bristles so they are
- A.
  
  Straight up
- B.
  
  Slightly to the right
- C.
  
  Straight down
- D.
  
  Slightly to the left
Correct Answer
C. Straight down

Explanation
To clean the biting or chewing surfaces of the teeth effectively, it is recommended to hold the bristles of the toothbrush straight down. This position allows the bristles to make direct contact with the teeth, ensuring thorough cleaning. Holding the bristles straight down also helps in reaching the deep grooves and crevices on the biting surfaces, where food particles and plaque tend to accumulate. It allows for better control and maneuverability while brushing, resulting in a more comprehensive and efficient cleaning process.

The most common sites of mouth cancer are
- A.
  
  Teeth and gums
- B.
  
  Tongue and floor
- C.
  
  Roof of the mouth
- D.
  
  Gums and tongue
Correct Answer
B. Tongue and floor

Explanation
Mouth cancer commonly occurs on the tongue and floor of the mouth. These areas are particularly susceptible to developing cancer due to their exposure to various risk factors such as tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, and viral infections like human papillomavirus (HPV). The tongue and floor of the mouth have a high concentration of cells and are constantly in contact with food and other substances, making them more prone to damage and the development of cancerous cells. Regular self-examinations and dental check-ups are important for early detection and treatment of mouth cancer in these areas.

- A.
  
  Incisal guidance
- B.
  
  Anterior teeth only
- C.
  
  Mesial inclines of mandibular cusps and distal inclines of maxillary cusps
- D.
  
  Mesial inclines of maxillary cusps and distal inclines of mandibular cusps
- E.
  
  Mesial inclines of maxillary cusps and lingual inclines of of mandibular cusps
Correct Answer
C. Mesial inclines of mandibular cusps and distal inclines of maxillary cusps

Explanation
The protrusive condylar path inclination refers to the angle at which the mandible moves forward during protrusive movements. This inclination primarily influences the contact between the mandibular and maxillary teeth. Specifically, it affects the mesial inclines of the mandibular cusps and the distal inclines of the maxillary cusps. These inclines determine the guidance of the teeth during protrusive movements, ensuring proper occlusion and preventing interferences. Therefore, the correct answer is "mesial inclines of mandibular cusps and distal inclines of maxillary cusps."

Crown with open margin can be due to
- A.
  
  Putting die spacer on finishing line
- B.
  
  Waxing not covering all crown prep
- C.
  
  Over contouring of crown prevent seating during insertion
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Putting die spacer on finishing line

Explanation
Putting die spacer on the finishing line can cause a crown with an open margin. Die spacer is a material used to create space between the prepared tooth and the final crown restoration. If the die spacer is applied on the finishing line, it can create excess space, leading to an open margin where the crown does not fit snugly against the tooth. This can compromise the seal and fit of the crown, potentially causing issues such as leakage, sensitivity, or recurrent decay.

The lifting of a mandibular partial deture with distal extension bases may be corrected by
- A.
  
  Narrowing the teeth
- B.
  
  Reducing overextended borders
- C.
  
  Tightening the brace arms
- D.
  
  Tightening the retention arms
Correct Answer
B. Reducing overextended borders

Explanation
The correct answer is reducing overextended borders. When a mandibular partial denture with distal extension bases is lifted, it means that the denture is not fitting properly and is causing discomfort or instability. One possible cause for this is overextended borders, where the borders of the denture extend beyond the natural boundaries of the mouth. By reducing these overextended borders, the denture can be adjusted to fit properly and provide better stability and comfort for the patient. Narrowing the teeth, tightening the brace arms, and tightening the retention arms are not relevant to correcting this specific issue.

- B.
  
  Papilloma
- C.
  
  Lipoma
Correct Answer
A. Fibroma

Explanation
Fibroma is the most common benign tumor in the oral cavity. It is a slow-growing tumor that originates from the connective tissue. Fibromas are usually painless and appear as smooth, firm, and pinkish nodules. They are commonly found on the gums, tongue, or inside the cheeks. Papilloma is another benign tumor but it is less common in the oral cavity compared to fibroma. Lipoma, on the other hand, is a benign tumor composed of fat cells and is rarely found in the oral cavity. Therefore, fibroma is the correct answer as it is the most prevalent benign tumor in the oral cavity.

Flat bone grow by endochondral ossification
- A.
  
  True
- B.
  
  False
Correct Answer
B. False

Explanation
Flat bones actually grow by intramembranous ossification, not endochondral ossification. In intramembranous ossification, bone tissue forms directly from mesenchyme or fibrous connective tissue, without the involvement of a cartilage precursor. This process is responsible for the formation of flat bones, such as the skull bones and the scapula. On the other hand, endochondral ossification occurs when bone tissue replaces a cartilage model, and it is responsible for the growth and development of long bones.

Light curing time for simple shallow class III composite
- A.
  
  10 sec
- B.
  
  15 sec
- C.
  
  20 sec
- D.
  
  40 sec
Correct Answer
C. 20 sec

Explanation
The correct answer is 20 sec. This is because the light curing time for a simple shallow class III composite restoration typically ranges from 20 to 40 seconds. This is the amount of time needed for the light to adequately cure and harden the composite material, ensuring a strong and durable restoration. Curing for too short a time may result in an incomplete cure, while curing for too long may cause overheating and damage to the surrounding tooth structure. Therefore, 20 seconds is the recommended time for optimal results.

Most of dentin bonding material need conditioning time of
- A.
  
  15sec
- B.
  
  30sec
- C.
  
  45sec
- D.
  
  60sec
- E.
  
  90sec
Correct Answer
A. 15sec

Explanation
Most dentin bonding materials require a conditioning time of 15 seconds. This is the amount of time needed for the material to effectively bond to the dentin surface. Conditioning the dentin helps remove the smear layer and exposes the collagen fibers, allowing for better adhesion of the bonding material. A shorter conditioning time may not be sufficient to achieve a strong bond, while a longer time may lead to over-etching and potential damage to the dentin. Therefore, a conditioning time of 15 seconds is ideal for most dentin bonding materials.

The most important in RCT is to seal
- A.
  
  Apical 1/3
- B.
  
  Middle 1/3
- C.
  
  Cervical 1/3
Correct Answer
A. Apical 1/3

Explanation
The correct answer is apical 1/3 because the apical region of the tooth is the most critical area to seal during root canal treatment. This is because it is the furthest point from the pulp chamber and is more likely to harbor bacteria and infection. By sealing the apical 1/3, the dentist ensures that the entire root canal system is effectively cleaned, shaped, and filled, reducing the risk of reinfection and promoting successful healing of the tooth.

Diagnosis of early necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis is BEST made on the basis of
- A.
  
  Biopsy
- B.
  
  Exfoliative cytology
- C.
  
  Ulceration of the interdental papilla
- D.
  
  Bacteriologic examination (smear)
- E.
  
  Ulceration in the alveolar mucosa
Correct Answer
C. Ulceration of the interdental papilla

Explanation
The diagnosis of early necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis is best made on the basis of ulceration of the interdental papilla. This is because early necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis is characterized by the presence of ulceration in the interdental papilla, which is the triangular gum tissue between the teeth. Biopsy, exfoliative cytology, and bacteriologic examination can also help in confirming the diagnosis, but the presence of ulceration in the interdental papilla is the most indicative sign. Ulceration in the alveolar mucosa may be seen in more advanced stages of the condition.

If pulp exposure is anticipated, final removal of carious tooth structure is accomplished after the
- A.
  
  Final outline form of the cavity has been established
- B.
  
  Rubber dam has been placed
- C.
  
  Cavity has been sterilized
- D.
  
  None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Rubber dam has been placed

Explanation
The final removal of carious tooth structure is done after the rubber dam has been placed. This is because the rubber dam provides isolation and moisture control, which is essential during the removal of carious tooth structure. It prevents contamination from saliva and other oral fluids, allowing for better visibility and control during the procedure. Additionally, the rubber dam helps in preventing the spread of bacteria and reduces the risk of pulp exposure.

In an occlusal cavity prepared for amalgam, facial and lingual walls which slightly converge occlusally ( 5 degrees per wall) would NOT create weak enamel margins because
- A.
  
  Enamel rods forming the margins would still be full length and supported on dentin
- B.
  
  Tomes Fibres would be strengthened
- C.
  
  Enamel rods forming the margins need not be full length
- D.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
A. Enamel rods forming the margins would still be full length and supported on dentin

Explanation
The correct answer is that enamel rods forming the margins would still be full length and supported on dentin. This is because even though the facial and lingual walls slightly converge occlusally, the enamel rods forming the margins would still be intact and supported by the underlying dentin. This ensures the strength and stability of the enamel margins in the occlusal cavity prepared for amalgam.

Functions of the dental pulp include all ot eh following EXCEPT
- A.
  
  Support
- B.
  
  Sensory
- C.
  
  Cementum repair
- D.
  
  Dentin repair
- E.
  
  Circulatory
Correct Answer
C. Cementum repair

Explanation
The dental pulp is a soft tissue located in the center of the tooth. It has several functions, including support, sensory perception, dentin repair, and circulatory supply to the tooth. However, it does not have a direct role in cementum repair. Cementum is a specialized tissue that covers the root of the tooth and helps anchor it to the surrounding bone and ligaments. Cementum repair is primarily carried out by cells called cementoblasts, which are not found in the dental pulp.

An outline form of a cavity preparation is the
- A.
  
  Shape or form of the preparation of the surface of the tooth
- B.
  
  Shape or form of the preparation after carious dentin had been excavated
- C.
  
  Shape or form of the preparation assumes after the retention form has been completed
Correct Answer
A. Shape or form of the preparation of the surface of the tooth

Explanation
The correct answer is "shape or form of the preparation of the surface of the tooth." This means that the outline form of a cavity preparation refers to the shape or form that is created on the surface of the tooth during the preparation process. It does not refer to the shape or form after carious dentin has been removed or after the retention form has been completed. The focus is specifically on the surface of the tooth and how it is prepared.

- C.
  
  I, ii, iii
- D.
  
  Ii, iv
- E.
  
  All of the above
Correct Answer
B. I, iii, iv

Explanation
The correct answer is i, iii, iv. Mechanical separators used in class III direct filling gold procedures should be stabilized to minimize trauma to the gingival tissues. They should also provide more rigid resistance to the forces of condensation and uniform support during instrumentation. These features help ensure the success of the procedure and reduce any potential harm to the patient's gingival tissues.

A reason for replacing silicate cement and unfilled resin restorations in the distal surfaces of maxillary canines is that the restorations
- A.
  
  Discolor and are not esthetic
- B.
  
  Cannot be placed to establish contact
- C.
  
  Will not maintain the mesiodistal dimension of the tooth
- D.
  
  Cannot be properly finished in this area and thus will cause gingival irritation
Correct Answer
C. Will not maintain the mesiodistal dimension of the tooth

Explanation
The reason for replacing silicate cement and unfilled resin restorations in the distal surfaces of maxillary canines is that these restorations will not maintain the mesiodistal dimension of the tooth. This means that these restorations will not properly preserve the width of the tooth, which is important for maintaining proper occlusion and function.

A pt complains of sensitivity in a mandibular premolar. A well condensed Class V amalgam restoration was placed in that tooth five months previously with no discomfort for the 1st four months. Since then it has becum increasingly sensitive. The problem probably relates to
- A.
  
  Marginal leakage
- B.
  
  Fractured restoration
- C.
  
  Irreversible pulpal damage
- D.
  
  Toothbrush abrasion
Correct Answer
C. Irreversible pulpal damage

Explanation
The increasing sensitivity in the mandibular premolar suggests that there may be irreversible pulpal damage. This means that the pulp tissue inside the tooth has been damaged to the point where it cannot heal or recover. It is likely that the pulp has become inflamed or infected, leading to the sensitivity. Marginal leakage or a fractured restoration could also cause sensitivity, but since the discomfort started after four months and has been increasing, irreversible pulpal damage is the most likely explanation. Toothbrush abrasion is less likely to cause sensitivity in this case.
