hi,
thanks for the reply?
why c? please explain. thanks!:)
anybody agree with dental doc80?
In a acute infection WBC increased has no effect on RBC abd HB and to treat antibiotic test to know the senstivity of micro organism
 
hi,
thanks for the reply?
why c? please explain. thanks!:)
anybody agree with dental doc80?
totaly agree with doc08 n ACFD....acute inf has nothin to do with Hb / RBC count...
n then AMA sensitvity test v obv step :cool:

"D"
Its A Rule of Thumb ALWAYS....modify plane of occlusion of existing natural dentition prior to designing of PD/CD..it will help in gaining stability of the prosthesis:thumbup:..as unnecessary leverage forces cud be eliminated b4hand;)

hey.... i would go with c. because rbc count significance is not that rucial in an acute infection

A. (1) (2) (3)
B. (1) and (3)
C. (2) and (4)
D. (4) only
E. All of the above.

- either A or E???:confused:

will go for A aswell coz choice 4 contradicts choice 1... n in absence of perm the decd may remain so without any esorption....
 
can we get our license from somewhere else and then work in another state?or you get stuck with the state you study there?hlp

Yes you all are right, I was thinking the same but besuase of following sentence, I was bit Confused but, Anyways thanks for correcting my doubt.

Reference:
"Resorption of a deciduous tooth can occur even in the absence of an underlying permanent tooth. However, the resorption may be
delayed."
www.lsusd.lsuhsc.edu/faculty/Chapter 10 Dental Anomalies.pdf

This same line is present in Orban Oral histology book.

thanks dr ymp for the link... it helps a lot...i agree w/ u
 
Which of the fallowing pharmacokinetic changes occur with aging?
1. Absorption is altered by decrease in the gastric pH
2. metabolism is decreased by a reduced liver mass
3. Distribution is altered by a decrease in total body fat
4. Excretion is reduced because lessend renal blood flow
a) 1 2 &3
b) 1&3
c)2 &4
d) 4
e)all of the above - ans.

- do u agree guys?

You may be right in your point dear, but it is not written anywhere that in absence of permanent teeth deciduous teeth are not resorbed as well, as even ankylosis is also known as replacement resorption, So even in case of ankylosis resorption is mendetory, What you say abt this?.

Anyways this is, what we can say tricky question, you might know this question had been asked so manytimes. Still ever green question.

- do u agree guys?

Right answer will be C. 2 & 4
As In old age increase in gastric Ph occurs which causing change in absorption
And in old age body mass decrease but body fat increases which affect distribution
Rest of four option are right.

Correct me If i am wrong
Thnks

class II div I?
a) maxillary protrusion b) mandibular protrusion c) mandibular retrusion d) maxillary retrusion

what do u think guys?

thanks
 
Correct me If I am wrong..
Thnks

Yes it is maxillary protrusion...


Hi everybody, it is nice and sad in the same time to see you all here, hopefully everybody gets a better luck this time in the EE

I am done with US admissions and I got some free time to discuss the questions...

I will post the questions I am in doubt of and will try to find the right answer for your question.

Cheers everyone :)

Yes I agree Iron deficiency
 
same here-it's iron deficiency
apart from iron deficiency other causes of burning mouth are-

A common cause is the use of antibiotics, which alters the balance of bacteria in the mouth, leading to an overgrowth of the fungus Candida (a condition called thrush). Ill-fitting dentures and allergies to dental materials may be causes as well. Overuse of mouth rinses and sprays may lead to burning tongue syndrome, as can anything that leads to a dry mouth, such as alcohol or tobacco use, and many medications.

Sensitivities to certain foods and food additives, particularly sorbic acid and benzoic acid (which are food preservatives), propylene glycol (found as a moisturizing agent in foods, drugs, and cosmetics), chicle (found in some chewing gums), and cinnamon, may play some role. Deficiencies of vitamins, including B12, folic acid, and B-complex, can cause burning mouth syndrome.


Burning mouth syndrome (also called oral dysesthesia) occurs most commonly among women after menopause. The most commonly affected part of the mouth is the tongue (pain in the tongue is termed glossodynia). A painful burning sensation may affect the entire mouth (particularly the tongue, lips, and roof of the mouth [palate]) or just the tongue. The sensation may be continuous or intermittent and may gradually increase throughout the day. Symptoms that commonly accompany the burning sensation include a dry mouth, thirst, and altered taste. Possible consequences include changes in eating habits, irritability, depression, and avoidance of other people.

hi,
thanks for the ans and explainations guys...:)

For an otherwise healthy patient, with an acute localized periodontal abscess, initial treatment must include
A. scaling and root planing.
B. occlusal adjustment.
C. prescription of an antibiotic.
D. prescription of an analgesic.

what about drainage ???


The most likely cause of tooth loss following a tunneling procedure to provide complete access for a mandibular Class III furcation involvement is
A. root caries.
B. root sensitivity.
C. pulpal involvement.
D. recurrent pocketing

s/p is the most imp aspect coz the abcess is periodontal n s/p can also l/t drainage....

correct me if im wrong....
 
Same question I posted on a different thread.

This question is taken from 2004 Canadian EE exam. It is pretty easy but when I saw the 2006 paper I got a bit confused.

Which of the following is/are clinical signs of gingivitis?
a) loss of stippling
b) gingival hyperplasia
c) bleeding on probing
d) increasing probing depth

1) a,b,c
2) a and c
3) b and d
4) d only
5) all of above

I was gonna go with E but then i saw this question with a small change

Which of the following is/are clinical signs of gingivitis?
a) loss of stippling
b) gingival hyperplasia
c) decreased pocket depth
d) bleeding on probing

1) a,b,c
2) a and c
3) b and d
4) d only
5) all of above

Now im a bit confused. The only answer can be all of the above because "a" and "d" are definately true. But how can gingivitis decrease pocket depth? I would assume it increases probing depth because of the increase swelling/size. What do you guys think?
