acrylic blebs and pearls
Which of the following statements about non-carious tooth surface loss is correct:
Erosion is tooth surface loss by non-bacterial chemical dissolution
Which of the following statements regarding surveying of casts for denture design is true:
It can be used to determine undercuts with regard to the path of insertion of a denture
Which statement regarding Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis is false:
it is characterised by chronic onset
A. It is caused by Gram –ve anaerobic bacteria

Which statement regarding the differences between primary and permanent molars is correct:
Deciduous molars have thinner enamel, a more bulbous crown and larger pulp horns than permanent molars
What does an enamel bonding agent consist of:
unfilled resin
Which of the following is true about a dentine conditioner, such as phosphoric acid:
it removes smear layer
Which of the statements is true about a dentine primer:
It increases the surface energy (wets) dentine
Dentine primer allows the subsequent resin layer in the adhesive to flow over or “wet” the etched dentine surface. (“wetting” the surface is not the same as having a wet/moist surface. Remembers that the resin in composite is hydrophobic and so a moist surface would not improve the bond.)
The conditioner (phosphoric acid) conditions dentine/removes the smear layer/ etches the dentine.

Which of these is false regarding pulpotomies and pulpectomies in primary teeth:
Pulpotomies are recommended where there is irreversible pulpitis and exposure of a severely hyperaemic pulp
right: Pulpotomies indicated where there are no signs of irreversible pulpitis and bleeding can be arrested by using ferric sulphate.
