SOLUTIONS.
maximum daily dose for Tylenol® extra strength tablets Answer - 4000 mg
Which of the following is a contraindication to using a benzodiazepine as a
sedative agent Answer - narrow angle glaucoma
Patients suffering severe anxiety may be recognized by all of the following
symptoms Answer - increased BP, increased HR, excessive sweating
Anesthesia of mandibular teeth in adults by the infiltration method would be
achieved best by the use of Answer - 1.8 mL of Articaine 4% + epinephrine
1:100,000
The ability to titrate medication, predictability, and the ability to provide
amnesic properties best describes __________ sedation Answer - IV
The only vasoconstrictor used in local anesthetics that is contraindicated with
concomitant MAO inhibitor therapy is Answer - phenylephrine
(T/F) Following administration of an inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB), the
clinician should routinely administer a buccal nerve block. The buccal nerve
,provides sensory innervation to the buccal soft tissues adjacent to the
mandibular molars only. Answer - 1 FALSE 2 TRUE
What is the dominant color of an object? Answer - hue
Which of the following choices has the materials arranged from the highest
thermal conductivity to the lowest? Answer - Pure Gold, Amalgam, Composite,
Enamel
advantages of vinyl polysiloxane impression materials Answer - margins easily
seen
stable
repeated pourability
What is the stress at which a test specimen exhibits a specific amount of plastic
strain? Answer - yield strength
(T/F) Under clinical conditions, composite resins can suffer surface wear and
degradation by coming in contact with oral fluids. Nanofilled composites wear
significantly more than natural human enamel in a 3 and 5 year study. Answer
-1T2F
Which of the following is adjusted by manufacturers to create regular and fast-
set alginate impression materials? Answer - sodium phosphate
Resin cement compressive strength Answer - Compressive strength is between
180 and 300 MPa
Dentinogenesis imperfecta is characterized radiographically by: Answer - total
or partial root canal obliteration
,Which of the following is an advantage of digital radiography Answer - less
radiation
ability to enhance the image
better quality
To determine if an embedded root is positioned lingually or facially to an
adjacent tooth, two radiographs are taken at different horizontal angles. The
shadow of the embedded root moves in the same direction as the tube. What
is the position of the embedded root in relation to the tooth Answer - lingual
to the tooth
Differentiation of internal or external root resorption can best be determined
by Answer - noting that external resorption moves with respect to the canal
with additional PA images.
A panoramic radiograph of a 15-year-old boy reveals an asymptomatic
radiolucency between the mandibular second premolar and first molar,
unilaterally. The margin of the lesion is well defined and extends superiorly
between the roots of the teeth. There is no buccal expansion; all teeth are vital
and noncarious. The radiographic findings are most consistent with a/n Answer
- traumatic bone cyst.
Panoramic imaging for implant purposes is the most useful in which of the
following stages of implant treatment Answer - initial examination
A patient presents with acute diffuse cellulitis and trismus due to pulpal
necrosis of the mandibular second molar. The most appropriate technique for
achieving regional anesthesia is Answer - Vazirani-Akinosi technique
, An abscess of the permanent mandibular central incisor may result in which
space infection Answer - submental
____________ seem to decrease periradicular inflammation caused by
extrusion of root canal filling materials Answer - Dexamethasone
Which biodental material is best for the repair of a furcation perforation
Answer - MTA
A patient presents for emergency treatment of pain associated with the
permanent mandibular first molar. There is a history of pain when drinking cold
liquids. Mesial and distal caries appear radiographically to extend through the
dentino-enamel junction. Heat and cold stimuli both promote prolonged
painful responses for at least a minute following removal of the stimulus. The
diagnosis is consistent with: Answer - irreversible pulpitis
Considering the possible complications of removing a separated instrument
with the ultrasonic technique, it is best to Answer - block or obturate the non-
involved canals first
Making an endodontic diagnosis can be difficult because there are several pain
disorders that can refer pain to the teeth. Which of the following groups of
non-odontogenic disorders is most likely to cause tooth pain? Answer -
myofascial pain
Which of the following aids is most helpful in diagnosing irreversible pulpitis?
Answer - thermal stimulation
The most definitive diagnostic test to differentiate between a periapical
abscess of pulpal origin and an abscess of periodontal origin is Answer - loss of
tooth vitality
