MOCK INBDE SET3 EXAM 2025
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
All of the following are situations where it is clinically justified to remove an
asymptomatic
impacted tooth EXCEPT one. Which is the EXCEPTION?
a) Facilitate orthodontic treatment
b) Potential for development of periodontal defect on the distal surface of the
adjacent second molar (tooth 31)
c) Prevent the development of caries, root resorption, and/or periodontal disease on
adjacent teeth
d) Prevent the possibility of jaw fractures - ANSWER✔✔-d) Prevent the possibility of
jaw fractures
,Removing an asymptomatic impacted tooth to prevent the possibility of jaw fractures is
not typically a clinically justified reason.
A chi-square test was used for statistical data analysis. What is determined using the
chi-square test?
a) Negative correlations
b) Positive correlations
c) The difference between 2 or more percentages of categorical outcomes
d) The difference between 2 means of 2 groups
e) The difference between means of 3 or more groups - ANSWER✔✔-c) The difference
between 2 or more percentages of categorical outcomes
After analyzing the results of the chi-square test, researchers determined that the
resultant value was high. What does this indicate?
a) Linear regression needs to be performed
b) The null hypothesis is accepted
c) The null hypothesis is rejected
d) T-test needs to be performed - ANSWER✔✔-c) The null hypothesis is rejected
,In statistical hypothesis testing, a high chi-square test statistic indicates a significant
difference between the observed and expected frequencies in the data. This typically
leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis, suggesting that there is a relationship or
association between the variables being tested.
In this particular study, the chi-square test rejected the null hypothesis. Which of the
following was most likely the null hypothesis for this study?
a) Bupivocaine has inferior duration and degree of effectiveness to the experimental
local anesthetic
b) Bupivocaine has superior duration and degree of effectiveness to the
experimental local anesthetic
c) The experimental local anesthetic has inferior duration and degree of
effectiveness to bupivocaine
d) The experimental local anesthetic has superior duration and degree of
effectiveness to bupivocaine
e) There is no difference in the duration and degree of effectiveness between
bupivacaine and the experimental local anesthetic - ANSWER✔✔-e) There is no
difference in the duration and degree of effectiveness between bupivacaine and the
experimental local anesthetic
, Patient 35 yo F
CC My filling has come out, and im here to have it replaced
History: Tooth 30 had class I composite filling placed 6 months ago
Findings The patient has a fever of 101.5F, cough, fatigue, anosmia, and headache. The
patient's father, whom she visit 5 days ago, was diagnosed with a
SARS-CoV-2 infection, 2 days ago
Given the patients current findings, what is the most likely next step?
a) Call 911 and inform them the patient may have Sars-CoV-2 infection
b) Follow injection control guidelines during SARC-CoV-2 and treat the patient
c) Refer the patient to a medical facility for Sars-CoV-2 treatment
d) Send the patient home and instruct her to call her physician - ANSWER✔✔-c) Refer
the patient to a medical facility for SARS-CoV-2 treatment
7) Which test will aid in confirming the presence of acute SARS-CoV 2 infection?
a) Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Reflex IgG
b) Anti-SARS-CoV-2 IgM
c) C Reactive Protein
