Dentistry NEW (120) Flashcards
FOG - 1
The role of the dental prosthesis except:
A) restore the masticatory ability
B) restore the voice projection caused by tooth loss
C) provide proper support for the lips
D) to provide the ability for the patient to nail-biting
E) provide proper face height
ANSWER D) to provide the ability for the patient to nail-biting
EXPLANATION
The role of the dental prosthesis is the aesthetic, functional, voice projection rehabilitation of the teeth. The nail biting is better to avoid due to hygienic reasons and the overload of the masticatory system.
FOG - 2
Not true for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw:
A) more common on the lower jaw
B) more common in the molar region
C) occurs more often if the patient has diabetes mellitus
D) more common if the bisphosphonate is dosed per os rather than intravenous
E) Not always, but most of the cases are developed after an oral surgery procedure.
D) more common if the bisphosphonate is dosed per os rather than intravenous
EXPLANATION
All the answers are correct, except D. The use of intravenous bisphosphonates is more likely to cause MRONJ than per os bisphosphonates.
FOG - 3The aesthetic requirements of dental prostheses:
A) appropriate for the sex and age of the patient
B) appropriate for the race
C) fulfill the expectations of the patient
D) fit to the remaining teeth in color and shape
E) all the answers are correct
ANSWER E) all the answers are correct
EXPLANATIONAll the listed points are important aesthetic requirements when making dental prostheses.
FOG - 4Most often causes allergy among the dental materials:
A) amalgam
B) precious metal alloys
C) non-precious metal alloys
D) glass ionomer cement
E) titanium
ANSWER C) non-precious metal alloys
EXPLANATION
The frequency of nickel allergy can be as high as 10% in some populations. Therefore in the case of non-precious metal alloys, it is becoming very important to strive to be nickel-free.

A) MRI
B) CBCT examination of cheekbones and jaws
C) orthopantomogram
D) lateral skull CT
E) skull CT

B) both are correct, but there is no causal relationship between them
C) the first is correct in itself, but the second is wrong
D) the first is wrong, the second is correct in itself
E) both are wrong
ANSWERA) both are correct, there is a causal relationship between them
EXPLANATIONBoth statements are correct, there is a cause-and-effect relation between them. The replanted root of the primary tooth can cause damage to the root of the permanent tooth.
FOG - 40 Juvenile periodontitis can cause serious periodontal disease even in an early stage, so a careful clinical examination is enough for the diagnosis.
A) both are correct, there is a causal relationship between them
B) both are correct, but there is no causal relationship between them
C) the first is correct in itself, but the second is wrong
D) the first is wrong, the second is correct in itself
E) both are wrong
C) the first is correct in itself, but the second is wrong
EXPLANATION
The first statement is correct and the second is incorrect. The disease forms without inflammation, plaque, and calculus, gingivitis is not visible. The teeth have no caries. The vertical bone loss appears in the order of eruption of the permanent teeth, first on one side then on both sides of the molars and incisors. A foetor ex ore (bad breath) is a very uncomfortable symptom, careful clinical examination is needed. To make the diagnosis and determine the extent of the bone loss an x-ray is required.

B) both are correct, but there is no causal relationship between them
C) the first is correct in itself, but the second is wrong
D) the first is wrong, the second is correct in itself
E) both are wrong
C) the first is correct in itself, but the second is wrong
EXPLANATION
Anomalies in tooth number can occur in the primary teeth as well but are not caused by calcification. The first statement is correct.

A) both are correct, there is a causal relationship between them
B) both are correct, but there is no causal relationship between them
C) the first is correct in itself, but the second is wrong
D) the first is wrong, the second is correct in itself
E) both are wrong
C) the first is correct in itself, but the second is wrong
EXPLANATIONThe first statement is correct the second is not. The mesiodens beside the diastema medianum can cause an abnormal eruption and position of the incisors. Only the first statement is true.
FOG - 43Childhood periodontal diseases can be influenced because they are caused by local factors.
A) both are correct, there is a causal relationship between them
B) both are correct, but there is no causal relationship between them
C) the first is correct in itself, but the second is wrong
D) the first is wrong, the second is correct in itself
E) both are wrong
C) the first is correct in itself, but the second is wrong
EXPLANATIONThe first statement is correct the second is not. Periodontal diseases in childhood often have general etiology, but local factors can induce the symptoms as well. The treatment result of the disease is influenced by the underlying disease.

A) Alopecia aerate
B) Infective endocarditis
C) Preterm birth
D) Melanoma
E) Psoriasis
D) Melanoma
EXPLANATION
Dental focal diseases/infections are spot boldness, psoriasis, and erythema nodosum, but have no role in the form of melanoma. The focal diseases are related to the high risk of infective endocarditis and other heart issues. Bad oral hygiene (periopathogenic bacterias and toxins) and focal infections like teeth with chronic periapical inflammation can cause preterm uterus contraction through elevated prostaglandin and inflammation factors.
FOG - 55What is true for the form of secondary caries?
A) Decay under the filling in the bottom of the cavity
B) Primary tooth decay on the tooth surface
C) Only can form on the tooth neck
D) Decay next to the previous filling or restoration
E) most common on the canines
D) Decay next to the previous filling or restoration
EXPLANATIONThe decay under the filling in the bottom of the cavity can be the result of insufficient caries removal. This is called residual caries.
FOG - 56What is true for the remineralized enamel?
A) The demineralized enamel takes up less F¬ ion than the healthy enamel, so it cannot be F- reservoir
B) If it once remineralized it can not be demineralized again
C) The composition of the remineralized enamel is not the same as the original enamel. It is more compact and has higher resistance to the acids
D) The remineralized enamel is less resistant to the acids.
E) Further mineral dissolution from the demineralized areas of the erupted tooth.
C) The composition of the remineralized enamel is not the same as the original enamel. It is more compact and has higher resistance to the acids
EXPLANATIONRemineralization in the demineralized areas of the erupted tooth. Ca2+, (PO4)3– and F– ions from supersaturated saliva or synthetic materials are deposited in the demineralized tissues and form apatite. The remineralization is the growth of the remained apatite crystals rather than forming a new one. The F- fastens the apatite deposition, forming fluorapatite helping the crystal growth. The demineralized enamel takes up more F- ion than the healthy enamel and works as an F- reservoir. ) The composition of the remineralized enamel is not the same as the original enamel. It is more compact and has higher resistance to the acids

FOG - 58Which dental disease’s typical symptom the biting sensitivity?
A) Caries media
B) Caries superficialis
C) Acute apical periodontitis
D) Internal resorption
E) Secondary caries
C) Acute apical periodontitis
EXPLANATIONIn the case of acute apical periodontitis the inflammation of the pulp is spread to the periapical tissues which causes oedema. The patient feels that their aching tooth is longer and the tooth is sensitive to biting.
FOG - 59Primary selected medication in endocarditis prophylaxis:
A) Acetylsalicylic acid
B) Propranolol
C) Amoxicillin
D) Clopidogrel
E) Metronidazole
C) Amoxicillin
EXPLANATIONWhen there is a high risk for infective endocarditis (for example the patient has an artificial heart valve) antibiotic prophylaxis is recommended which reduces the risk. The first used antibiotic is amoxicillin in these cases.

A) Acute apical periodontitis
B) Caries incipient
C) Reversible pulpitis
D) Irreversible pulpitis
E) Hyperplastic pulpitis
A) Acute apical periodontitis
EXPLANATIONIn the case of acute apical periodontitis pain can be triggered with biting or axial percussion because the inflammation reached the periodontal tissues.
