d]Apical periodontitis

ANSWER C Chronic hyperplastic pulpitis also called pulp polyp, is an inflammatory proliferative

very good blood supply and rapid carious destruction. It is essentially a

pyogenic granuloma of the pulp tissue. It is usually painless but may bleed easily because of vital
vascular supply

Which of the following methods of instrument sterilization uses the lowest temperature?

Ethylene oxide method.

Steam autoclave.

Dry heat oven.

Alcohol autoclave.

Glass bead sterilizer

ANSWER Steam autoclave works by subjecting instruments to high pressure saturated steam at 121
°C for around 15–20 minutes.

(2) The proper time and temperature for Dry-Heat sterilization is 160°C

(320°F) for 2 hours or 170°C (340°F) for 1 hour.

(3) Glass bead sterilizer is a chair-side sterilization of small dental

hand instruments, especially endodontic files. The files were placed in

225 °C or 250 °C heated glass bead sterilizers for 10-15 sec.

(3) Ethylene oxide gas is commonly used to sterilize objects sensitive

to temperatures greater than 60 °C and / or radiation such as plastics,

optics and electrics. Ethylene oxide method is generally performed

between 30 °C and 60 °C with relative humidity above 30% and a gas

concentration between 200 and 800 mg/l, and needs for at least three

hours.

Following trauma, bluish-grey discolouration of the crown is due to

a]external resorption.

b]pulpal hemorrhage.

c]chromogenic bacteria

d]discoloured composite restoration

ANSWER Intrapulpal hemorrhage and lysis of erythrocytes are a common result of traumatic injury
to a tooth. Blood disintegration products, presumably

iron sulfides, flow into the tubules and discolor the surrounding

dentin. If the pulp becomes necrotic, the discoloration persists and

usually becomes more severe with time. If the pulp recovers, the

discoloration may be reversed, with the tooth regaining its original

shade.

Which one of the following statements is true as defined in endodontics?

a]Overextension refers to the extrusion of filling material through an accessory canal.

b]Overfilling refers to the incomplete filling of the canal system with a surplus of material extruding

c]Underfilling refers to the complete filling of the canal space, but leaving voids in the pulp chamber
for possible recontamination or infection.

d]All of the above

ANSWER C
It is considered as the only reproducible position which is important in cases where extensive crown
or bridgework is required. This position is independent of tooth contact.

that is used for reproducibility.

patient experiences pain and some gingival swelling in the anterior segment of the mandible. The
mandibular lateral incisor has a shallow restoration, is tender to percussion and gives a positive
response to the electric pulp tester. There is some mobility. The most likely diagnosis is

a]lateral periodontal abscess.

b]acute apical abscess.

c]acute serous pulpitis.

d]chronic ulcerative pulpitis.

e]acute suppurative pulpitis

ANSWER A lateral periodontal abscess is a result of rapidly-growing bacteria within a periodontal

pocket. Pain characteristics of a lateral
periodontal abscess are very similar to those acute periapical

periodontitis. The pain is continuous, and well localized and is

exacerbated by biting on the affected tooth. The swelling is usually

located more coronally than in acute periapical lesions. The tooth is

sensitive to percussion and may be mobile and slightly extruded. The

tooth pulp is usually vital.
