    All of the following are radiographic images exposed throughout an endodontic procedure, except?

    • Initial radiographic image

    • Extraoral radiograph

    • Final instrumentation radiograph

    • Root canal completion radiograph

    Correct Answer
    A. Extraoral radiograph
    Explanation
    An extraoral radiograph is not typically exposed throughout an endodontic procedure. Endodontic procedures involve the treatment of the pulp and root canals of a tooth, which requires intraoral radiographs to visualize the internal structures of the tooth. Extraoral radiographs, on the other hand, are taken outside of the mouth and are used to visualize larger areas, such as the entire jaw or skull. Therefore, an extraoral radiograph is not necessary during an endodontic procedure.

    As a rule, if a scalpel has been used, sutures will be placed for proper healing

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    If a scalpel has been used during a medical procedure, it is common practice to place sutures to ensure proper healing. Sutures are used to close the incision made by the scalpel, bringing the edges of the wound together and promoting healing. This helps to minimize the risk of infection, control bleeding, and facilitate the healing process. Therefore, it is true that if a scalpel has been used, sutures will be placed for proper healing.

    Explanation
    During an endodontic procedure, a cement type of material is used to seal out unfilled voids during the filling of a root canal. This material is known as a sealer. Sealer is used to create a tight seal and prevent any leakage or bacterial contamination in the root canal. It fills in the gaps between the root canal filling material (usually gutta-percha) and the walls of the canal, ensuring a complete seal and promoting the success of the procedure.

    Preventive dentistry includes all of the following, except?

    • Composite fillings

    • Improving oral hygiene

    • Good nutrition

    • Sealants

    Correct Answer
    A. Composite fillings
    Explanation
    Preventive dentistry focuses on maintaining good oral health and preventing dental problems. It includes practices such as improving oral hygiene, promoting good nutrition, and applying sealants to protect teeth from decay. However, composite fillings are not considered a preventive measure. Composite fillings are used to treat dental cavities after they have formed, rather than preventing them from occurring in the first place. Therefore, composite fillings are not included in preventive dentistry.

    • Toffees

    • Chewing gum

    • Nuts

    • Popcorn

    • Soup

    • Bread

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Toffees
    A. Chewing gum
    A. Nuts
    A. Popcorn
    Explanation
    A person with full braces should avoid toffees, chewing gum, nuts, and popcorn because these foods are hard, sticky, or crunchy, which can damage or get stuck in the braces. These types of food can cause brackets to break or wires to bend, leading to discomfort or longer treatment time. Soup and bread, on the other hand, are softer and easier to eat with braces, making them suitable options for someone with braces.

    Tick common postoperative instructions to control bleeding following a surgical procedure below: (more than one may be selected)

    • Rinse frequently for the first 12 hours

    • Place a sterile gauze over the socket to control bleeding

    • If bleeding increases, call the dental surgery

    • Do not disturb the clot with your tonque

    • Clean the extraction site vigorously with your toothbrush

    • Resume any physical activity immediately following the extraction

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Place a sterile gauze over the socket to control bleeding
    A. If bleeding increases, call the dental surgery
    A. Do not disturb the clot with your tonque
    Explanation
    To control bleeding following a surgical procedure, it is important to place a sterile gauze over the socket to apply pressure and control the bleeding. If bleeding increases, it is necessary to call the dental surgery for immediate assistance. It is crucial not to disturb the blood clot with the tongue, as this can disrupt the healing process. However, rinsing frequently for the first 12 hours and cleaning the extraction site vigorously with a toothbrush are not recommended as they can increase the risk of bleeding. Resuming physical activity immediately following the extraction is also not advised as it can lead to complications and further bleeding.
