Part I exam question

[cattooth]

Hi all,
I remembered one of the Part I questions on my exam. Which one is the essential fatty acid(EFA)? I do not recall the list of choices given. But, I never heard of EFA but aminod acid. I was not dreaming, does anyone have a clue?

Thanks,

I never heard it neither.
As far as I know Fats are saturate and nonsaturated.

Thanks,

omega-3 fatty acid (alpha-linolenic acid) -- Most essential (modern health terminology) &

omega-6 (linoleic acid)

These two fatty acids cannot be synthesised by humans, as humans lack the desaturase enzymes required for their production. They form the starting point for the creation of longer and more desaturated fatty acids, which are also referred to as long-chain polyunsaturates.

Thanks for clarification , I chosed Linoleic acid because I had no clue...

u r right. They are in Kaplan book. I only read half of Kaplan, half of Dental Decks and went over once of all released papers. I could not remember all the things I just did once . I scored 84 but I want to re-take it in August.
Another question--
2.5 and 3 years after tooth eruption(permanent teeth), what percentage of calcification are completed.
20
50
75
100

I thought everything is completed after 3 years, so I'd guess 100.

that was my answer on the exam. But I was not sure. Any other thoughts??
