    Most of dentin bonding material need conditioning time of

    • 15sec

    • 30sec

    • 45sec

    • 60sec

    • 90sec

    Correct Answer
    A. 15sec
    Explanation
    Most dentin bonding materials require a conditioning time of 15 seconds. This is the amount of time needed for the material to effectively bond to the dentin surface. Conditioning the dentin helps remove the smear layer and exposes the collagen fibers, allowing for better adhesion of the bonding material. A shorter conditioning time may not be sufficient to achieve a strong bond, while a longer time may lead to over-etching and potential damage to the dentin. Therefore, a conditioning time of 15 seconds is ideal for most dentin bonding materials.

    Nerve impulse stops when injecting local anesthesia

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    When injecting local anesthesia, the nerve impulse stops because local anesthesia works by blocking the transmission of nerve signals. It does this by temporarily inhibiting the function of nerve fibers, preventing them from sending impulses to the brain. This interruption in nerve impulse transmission results in the numbing effect experienced after receiving local anesthesia. Therefore, the statement "nerve impulse stops when injecting local anesthesia" is true.

    Light curing time for simple shallow class III composite

    • 10 sec

    • 15 sec

    • 20 sec

    • 40 sec

    Correct Answer
    A. 20 sec
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 20 sec. This is because the light curing time for a simple shallow class III composite restoration typically ranges from 20 to 40 seconds. This is the amount of time needed for the light to adequately cure and harden the composite material, ensuring a strong and durable restoration. Curing for too short a time may result in an incomplete cure, while curing for too long may cause overheating and damage to the surrounding tooth structure. Therefore, 20 seconds is the recommended time for optimal results.

    The most common sites of mouth cancer are

    • Teeth and gums

    • Tongue and floor

    • Roof of the mouth

    • Gums and tongue

    Correct Answer
    A. Tongue and floor
    Explanation
    Mouth cancer commonly occurs on the tongue and floor of the mouth. These areas are particularly susceptible to developing cancer due to their exposure to various risk factors such as tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, and viral infections like human papillomavirus (HPV). The tongue and floor of the mouth have a high concentration of cells and are constantly in contact with food and other substances, making them more prone to damage and the development of cancerous cells. Regular self-examinations and dental check-ups are important for early detection and treatment of mouth cancer in these areas.

    Composite for posterior teeth

    • Microfilled + fine filler

    • Hybrid + rough filler

    • Microfilled + rough filler

    Correct Answer
    A. Hybrid + rough filler
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "hybrid + rough filler." Hybrid composite is a type of composite material that combines the benefits of microfilled and macrofilled composites. It has a higher filler content, making it stronger and more wear-resistant than microfilled composites. The rough filler in hybrid composites provides better adhesion to the tooth structure, ensuring long-lasting restorations. Therefore, the combination of hybrid composite with rough filler is the most suitable option for posterior teeth restorations.

    Chemicomechanical loss of tooth tissue is termed as

    • Erosion

    • Abrasion

    • Attrition

    • Decalcifcation

    Correct Answer
    A. Erosion
    Explanation
    Erosion refers to the chemicomechanical loss of tooth tissue. It occurs when acids, such as those found in certain foods and beverages, dissolve the enamel and dentin of the teeth. This can lead to the thinning and weakening of the tooth structure, causing sensitivity and an increased risk of cavities. Unlike abrasion, which is caused by mechanical forces like toothbrushing, erosion is primarily caused by chemical factors. Attrition refers to the natural wearing down of teeth due to normal chewing and biting, while decalcification refers to the loss of minerals from the tooth enamel, often caused by acid-producing bacteria.

    The pt gingiva is described as pink , firm and stippled; however he complains of "bleeding gums" and bleeds upon probing.  Which of the following statements is NOT true ?

    • Inflammation must still remain in the deeper tissues

    • The disease must be chronic in nature

    • The probing was done too vigorously

    • None of the above

    Correct Answer
    A. The probing was done too vigorously
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The probing was done too vigorously." This is because bleeding upon probing is a sign of inflammation in the gingiva, indicating that there is an underlying issue causing the bleeding. The statement suggests that the bleeding is due to the probing technique being too forceful, but in reality, the bleeding is a result of inflammation and not the probing itself.

    Correct Answer
    A. Can be poured after 7 days
    Explanation
    Polyvinyl siloxane is a type of impression material used in dentistry. Compared to polysulfide, it can be poured after 7 days. This means that after taking an impression, the polyvinyl siloxane material can be left for 7 days before pouring a cast or model from it. This is advantageous because it allows for more flexibility in the dental workflow, as the dentist can take multiple impressions and pour the casts at a later time. Polysulfide, on the other hand, may require immediate pouring after taking the impression.

    The lifting of a mandibular partial deture with distal extension bases may be corrected by

    • Narrowing the teeth

    • Reducing overextended borders

    • Tightening the brace arms

    • Tightening the retention arms

    Correct Answer
    A. Reducing overextended borders
    Explanation
    The correct answer is reducing overextended borders. When a mandibular partial denture with distal extension bases is lifted, it means that the denture is not fitting properly and is causing discomfort or instability. One possible cause for this is overextended borders, where the borders of the denture extend beyond the natural boundaries of the mouth. By reducing these overextended borders, the denture can be adjusted to fit properly and provide better stability and comfort for the patient. Narrowing the teeth, tightening the brace arms, and tightening the retention arms are not relevant to correcting this specific issue.

    • 3 times a day

    • 4 times a day

    Correct Answer
    A. 3 times a day
    Explanation
    Brushing your teeth three times a day is the recommended practice for maintaining good oral hygiene. This frequency allows for the removal of plaque and food particles that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease. Brushing after meals helps to prevent the build-up of bacteria and keeps your breath fresh. However, brushing more than three times a day may cause damage to your tooth enamel and gums, as excessive brushing can be abrasive. Therefore, it is important to strike a balance and brush your teeth three times a day for optimal oral health.
