Dear All, sorry for coming back answering so late with the questions I was asked in my Adelaide October

2011 Supplementary exam in CD1 and radiology. Note: questions were asked in sequence linked from previous question answer/discussion. Amalgam Viva Q. A 75 yr old pt come to u with this scenerio ( caries on 33,34,35,36,37 ). She is ur regular pt. How u manage? Q. How often you take x ray of a patient? Q. What is the function of Saliva? how it works against developing a caries? Q.When you are going to replace a previous amalgam restoration? Q. If the margin is black will you replace the whole restoration? Composite: Viva Q. Give the same picture as in amalgum, when you are going to restore 36 with composite what are the difficulties you will face?

Q. If carries goes near gingiva and subgingivally how you restore the tooth with composite? Q. what are the matrix band used for composite restoration? Q. after restoration patient comes back with pain what would be the reason and how you manage ? Hint/Note: the examiner want to hear about fracture particularly Q. If the pain is due to fractured cast, can you see that in the x ray? Bridge Viva Q: After completing the preparation what you are going to do? Q. How you take the final impression? Q. Do you prefer metallic tray or plastic tray for taking impression? Q. How do you temporize your bridge preparation? Q. After temporization, patient comes back with pain, how you manage?

Q. During cutting the tooth for crown you found a caries, which causes pin point exposure of pulp, how you manage? N.B: my answer was direct pulp capping and wait for another 2-3 months to see the response of pulp. Q. Patient go for the bridge now, didn't want to wait for another 2-3 months, how you manage the patient to convince on your decision as above (to wait another 2-3 months)? Q. Patient is confused and asking question that I didn't have a pain and now you ask me to wait for another 2-3 months, what does it mean? so patient wanted the bridge right at that time without waiting another 2-3 months, so how you convince and manage? Q. What is your instruction for the lab about the bridge? Radiology Viva Scenario: My task was taking an x ray of 26, I tried to take the x ray with rinn system first, but as the x ray film got bent I took the x ray with the help of manikin's finger. Q. Why did you take the x ray with manikin finger instead of rinn system? Q. Why do you prefer rinn system?

Q. what are the advantage of taking X ray of upper posterior (pos) teeth with rinn system? Q. They gave a bite-wing x ray and asked me to find out caries with the deepest extension of the caries. Q. Asked about the management of the above case. Scenario: provided an OPG showing a large radiolucency extended from 43 to right ramus Q. Describe the lession. Q. How do you determine that the root of 43 is resorbed? Ans: root of 43 is smaller than the root of 44 Q. D/D with reasoning this is what as a whole I remember. thanks again for all of your help.
