NDHCE - mock exam questions WITH COMPLETE
SOLUTION
how often should a child with a transitioning dentition be prescribed radiographs? - ✔✔6-12
months for high caries risk or if caries are visible clinically
12-24 months if caries risk is low
how often are radiographs recommended for adults with no clinical caries and/or low risk for
caries? - ✔✔24-36 months
what is the disadvantage to boil and bite mouth guards? - ✔✔most do not cover all posterior
teeth
what is the most reliable evidence that disease has stopped? - ✔✔bleeding on probing
what is a class II malocclusion - ✔✔MB cusp of the max 1st molar is in front of the buccal
groove of the mand 1st molar
what is a class III malocclusion - ✔✔MB cusp of the max 1st molar is behind the buccal groove
of the mand 1st molar
describe a class I furcation - ✔✔curvature of the concavity can be detected with the probe tip
but it cannot enter the space; no radiolucency on rads
describe class II furcation - ✔✔probe penetrates into the furcation, but does not completely pass
through to the other side; slight radiolucency on rads
describe class III furcation - ✔✔probe passes through completely through the other side;
radiolucency usually visible from rads
, describe class IV furcation - ✔✔4
clinically visible because of recession and probe passes through; larger radiolucency
describe ASA 1 - ✔✔healthy with no systemic conditions or allergies
describe ASA 2 - ✔✔mild systemic diseases
(controlled hypertension, mild obesity, pregnancy, allergies etc)
describe ASA 3 - ✔✔severe systemic disease
(poorly controlled hypertension, morbid obesity, chronic renal failure)
describe ASA 4 - ✔✔severe systemic disease that are a constant threat to life
(liver failure, unstable angina)
describe ASA 5 - ✔✔patients who are not expected to survive more than 24 hours
where is perimolysis most seen on patients with bulimia? - ✔✔palatal of max anteriors
Cyclosporine (Sandimmune)
+ side effect - ✔✔anti-rejections agent for patients who underwent an organ transplant
side effect is gingival hyperplasia
what types of drugs does xerostomia normally occur? - ✔✔anti-hypertensive (diuretics, anti-
depressants and anti-psychotics)
