Hi everyone,
Please answer these Qs along with explanations:
1) which of the following describes the proper axial inclination of the palatal root of maxillary 2nd molar?
a) vertical
b) Mesial and lingual
c) mesial and facial
d) distal and facial
e) distal and lingual - ans, tooth is inclined mesially and bucaly, means roots are inclined distally and lingually(especially lingual). Correct if anything...
2) which of the following best describes the compensating occlusal curvature?
a) the line beginning at the tip of canines following the facial cusps of posterior teeth as viewed from facial aspect - ans, cuz: compensating curve,
the curvature of alignment of the occlusal surfaces of the teeth, developed to compensate for the paths of the condyles as the mandible moves from centric to eccentric positions. It is used to maintain posterior tooth contacts on the molar teeth and to provide balancing contacts on dentures associated with a protruding mandible. The compensating curve corresponds to the Spee's curve in natural teeth.

b) the inclination of teeth in relation to vertical long axis of the body
c) any prominent ridge of enamelimmediately above the cervical line of the crown of tooth
d) a notably pointed or rounded eminence on or near the masticating surface of tooth
e) the spherical composite arrangement of the occlusal surfaces and incisal edges of the teeth in both dental arches
3) the most convex incisal angle on anterior teeth is found on which angle of which incisor? -
a) distoincisal-- maxillary lateral - ans, correct if wrong
b) distoincisal-- mandibular lateral
c) distoincisal-- mandibular central
d) mesioincisal-- maxillary lateral
e) mesioincisal-- maxillary central
4) Each of the following is condition usually foundin a mutually protected occlusion,in the normal upright position,except one.which is the exception?
a) none of the posterior teeth contact on the working side when the mandible move laterally - my guess, whats ur ideas?
b) ant. teeth disclude all post. teeth in protrusive movement
c) condyles are in their most superior anterior position in closure
d) ant. teeth contact more heavily than the posterior teeth
e) axial loading of occlusal forces occur in closure
5) one important collateral circulation of the hepatic portal system is via the
a) renal veins - ans, correct if wrong
b) mesentric veins
c) oesophageal veins
d) external iliac veins
6) Inorganic crystals in enamel rods are parallel to what? - to bodies of rods
7) what determines the direction of grooves and ridges? - do u have options?
Thanks
