QE Questions. TS 2013 Flashcards
What is the mechanism N2O similar to?
a. Meperidine
b. Hydroxyzine
c. Chloral hydrate
d. Midazolam
D. Midazolam
i. N2O is thought to cause activation of the benzodiazepine binding site as its effects are blocked by flumazenil.
ii. Benzodiazepines->Diazepam and Midazolam
Reversal is Flumazenil
Which syndrome is associated with airway compromise?
Beckwith-Wiedemann Syndrome
The primary facial manifestation of BWS is macroglossia, or an enlarged tongue. If the tongue is excessively large, it can interfere with the child’s airway, impair feeding, deform the jaws, or splay the teeth.
Craniofacial team may recommend a tongue reduction to alleviate these sequelae.
Which syndrome is associated with primary immunodeficiency?
a. DiGeorge
b. Ellers-Danlos
c. Hurler
A. DiGeorge Syndrome (Most common deletion syndrome)
Is a primary immunodeficiency disease
Decreased T-cell production due to absent to poorly developed thymus.
Also called 22q11.2 and Velo-Cardio-Facial Syndrome It can cause, -Heart defects -Poor immune system function -Cleft palate -Low levels of calcium in the blood.
What is the effect of GI cement?
a. Decreases acid production in bacteria
b. Decreases sensitivity
c. Improves enamel bond
d. Decreases saliva pH
A. Decrease acid production in bacteria
Glass ionomer cements act as sealants when pits and fissures in the tooth occur and release fluoride to prevent further enamel demineralization and promote demineralization. Fluoride can also hinder bacterial growth, by inhibiting their metabolism of ingested sugars in the diet. It does this by inhibiting various metabolic enzymes within the bacteria. This leads to a reduction in the acid produced during the bacteria’s digestion of food, preventing a further drop in pH and therefore preventing caries.
How does fluoride effect remineralization
a. Decreases saliva pH
b. increases bacteria glycolysis
c. increases releases of phosphate
d. Inhibits formation of carbon hydroxyl
Inhibits formation of carbon hydroxyl??
Fluoride ions (F–) replace hydroxyl groups (OH–) in the formation of the apatite crystal lattice
Inhibition of glycolysis by fluoride is central to the concept that the anti-microbial effect of fluoride has a role in caries prevention. It has been demonstrated that fluoride exerts this inhibitory action through its interference with uptake and degradation of polysaccharides by the bacterial cell, and also by reducing the ability of the cell to maintain pH homeostasis (Hamilton, 1990).
Which is an oral feature of Kawasakis
a. Marginal gingivitis
b. Ulcers
c. oropharynx erythema
C. Oropharynx erythema
KD is characterized by fever, bilateral non-exudative conjunctivitis, erythema of lip and oral mucosa, cervical lymphadenopathy, changes in the extremities and polymorphous exanthema.
Which syndrome is associated with abnormal chemotaxis of neutrophils
a. Trisomy 21
defective neutrophil chemotaxis influences the progression of periodontal disease in DS patients.
What syndrome is associated with increased appetite
a. Diabetes mellitus
b. Cystic fibrosis
c. Phenylketonuria
A. Diabetes mellitus
Causes may include:
Anxiety
Certain drugs (such as corticosteroids, cyproheptadine, and tricyclic antidepressants)
Bulimia (most common in women 18 to 30 years old)
Diabetes mellitus (including gestational diabetes)
Graves disease
Hyperthyroidism
Hypoglycemia
Premenstrual syndrome
What Is increasing and associated with cystic fibrosis
a. Bruxism
b. open bite
c. caries,
B. Open Bite
Oral implications associated with CF include enamel hypoplasia and tooth discoloration, salivary gland involvement, reduced incidence of dental caries, reservoir for potentially pathogenic respiratory bacteria, mouth breathing, and
anterior open bite associated with nasal and sinus obstruction
What is the inheritance of Treacher Collins?
Autosomal Dominant
Treatment of aggressive periodontitis?
Amoxicillin+Methotrexate
Most common side effect of ferric sulfate .
Internal root resorption.
What is the first pulp reaction to caries
a. Pulpal vasoconstriction
b. Dead tracts
c. Sclerosis
d. Odontoclasts
C. Sclerosis
Decrease in dentin permeability. It is the first and fastest defense to caries and is called dentin sclerosis.
What indicates a high risk caries patient
a. Low SES
b. Enamel hypoplasia
c. Visible plaque
d. Special needs
C. Visible Plaque
How does radiographs contrast adjust
a. KVP
