Four well designed studies showed articaine to be more successful in achieving
adequate anesthesia than lidocaine in mandibular teeth. One theory is that
articaine is more effective due to its higher concentration.

,sensory innervation to the buccal soft tissues adjacent to the mandibular
molars only.
A. Both statements are TRUE.
B. Both statements are FALSE.

What is the dominant color of an object?
A. Chroma
B. Hue
C. Value
D. Color Answer - (B) Hue
Hue is the dominant color of an object for example red, green, and blue. Value
is also known as the gray scale. Value increases toward the high end (lighter)
and decreases toward the lower end (darker). Chroma is the degree of
saturation of a particular hue. For example, red can vary from 'scarlet' to light
pink where scarlet has a high saturation and pink has a low saturation.

thermal conductivity to the lowest?
A. Amalgam, Pure Gold, Enamel, Composite
B. Pure Gold, Enamel, Composite, Amalgam
C. Amalgam, Enamel, Pure Gold, Composite
D. Pure Gold, Amalgam, Composite, Enamel Answer - (D) Pure Gold, Amalgam,
Composite, Enamel

except one. Which is the exception?
, A. Margins easily seen
B. Hydrophobic
C. Stable
D. Repeated pourability Answer - Correct Answer: (B) Hydrophobic
What is the stress at which a test specimen exhibits a specific amount of plastic
strain?
A. Yield strength
B. Tensile strength
C. Shear strength
D. Compressive strength Answer - Correct Answer: (A) Yield strengthDefinition
of yield strength: the stress which a test specimen exhibits a specific amount of
plastic strain.
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.
A. Both statements are TRUE.
B. Both statements are FALSE
C. The first statement is TRUE; the second is FALSE.
D. The first statement is FALSE; the second is TRUE. Answer - (C) The first
statement is TRUE; the second is FALSE.
