3. Articaine max carpule for 150 lb guy = ​6 carpules

Max dose is 3.2mg/lb or 7mg/kg
Math ---> (3.2mg x 150lb )= 480mg for max dose, now since Articaine is 4%, it becomes 40mg/ml. Now
you will do (40mg/ml x 1.8ml)= 72mg a carpule. So do 480mg/72mg= 6.666 and round down to 6 carpules
max.

structures (ex. Hair (sparse hair), teeth, nails, sweat glands (will have hypohydrotic child = sweating
dysfunction, abnormal reduction of sweating due to heat), salivary glands, cranial-facial structure, digits).
During tooth bud development, it ​frequently​ results in ​congenitally absent teeth​ (in many cases, a ​lack
of a permanent set and/or in the growth of teeth that are peg-shaped or pointed.

Teeth develop abnormally causing ​anodontia or oligodontia (partial).​ Retained primary teeth.
CONICAL shaped anterior teeth.

17.Which represents position on the spectral wavelength? ​Hue

18.When get infection in premolar mandibular area and lingual plate is intact and drains where? ​Buccal
area?

○ Submental area (my brain was fried at this point and I was in between this and buccal
area so didn’t care just chose this but not sure)
○ Submandibular area-----> ​would only drain here only if the tooth was a 2nd Molar or 3rd
molar that have their roots BELOW the mylohyoid m. and the LINGUAL plate gets
perforated from the periapical infection​.
○ Sublingual area-----> ​would only drain here only if the tooth was a mandibular PM and 1st
Molar that have their roots ABOVE the mylohyoid m. and the LINGUAL plate gets
perforated from the periapical infection​.
○ Buccal area​------>​should be this answer because the lingual plate was intact so it
could not have drained in any of the areas listed above other than the buccal area.

53.Gingival margin trimmer vs hatchet: Both Enamel Hatchet and Gingival Margin Trimmer are hatches
but GMT has curved blade and angled cutting edge while Enamel Hatchet has cutting edge in plane of
handle. ​Main advantage of using GMT is the curved angle of the blade

● Gingival margin trimmer ​– designed to produce a proper bevel on gingival enamel margins of
proximo-occlusal preparations. The blade is curved (similar to a spoon excavator) and the
primary cutting edge is at an angle to the axis of the blade.
● Hatchet ​– The ordinary hatchet has the cutting edge of the blade directed in the same plane as
that of the long axis of the handle and is bibeveled; used primarily on anterior teeth for preparing
retentive areas.
54.Lots of asthma questions

○ No NSAIDS (aspirin) – contraindicated because they produce leukotrienes that

aggravate asthma
○ No Oxygen during an asthma attack - paper bag
○ Brocho-dilator for treatment – Thylophyille, Lovobuterol,
○ Adenosine is contraindicated
○ Aminophiline used to treat severe asthma
○ Wheezing on expiration

55.What exactly wheezing is in asthma patient not just noise on exhalation like how the noise is made

○ Options where about inflammation in bronchioles

○ Narrowing of the airways from swelling, mucous and muscle retention.. When
asthmatic patient is breathing out
○ The overreaction or hyper-responsiveness of the airways results in bronchospasm, which
is excessive contraction or spasm of the bronchial smooth muscle. The airways also
become inflamed with swelling of the bronchial mucous membrane (mucosa) and
secretion of excessive thick mucus that is difficult to expel. It is part of the evaluation
process to identify the role of each of these physiologic components in asthma.

56.Know what causes orthostatic hypotension: ​a person's​ ​blood pressure suddenly falls when
standing up quickly or stretching. Can also be a side effect of nitroglycerin tablets.

57.Crevicular fluid antibody: ​IgG

58.Most frequent oral cancer that metastasis? ​Squamous cell carcinoma

59.Peds ortho distal step = ​class II molar relationship in permanent dentition

60.know the billing stuff (bundling, upcoding, etc).

● Unbundling:​ ​separating of dental procedure into component parts with each part having a
charge so that the cumulative charge of the components is greater than the total charge to
patients who are ​NOT​ ​beneficiaries of a dental benefit plan for the same procedure.
● Bundling:​ opposite of unbundling & can occur on the insurance carrier end. It’s the systematic
combining of distinct dental procedures by third-party payers that results in a reduced benefit for
the patient/beneficiary. Ex. dentist charging separately for core build up and crown but insurance
company combining the two saying a core build up is part of a crown.
● Upcoding: ​or overcoding is defined by the ADA as "reporting a more complex and/or ​higher
cost procedure than was actually performed.​"
● Downcoding:​ is defined by the ADA as "a practice of third-party payers in which the benefit code
has been changed to a less complex and/or ​lower cost procedure​ than was reported ​except
where delineated in contract agreements."

assistant (or whoever takes x-ray in a dental setting), how much will the dosage of that person be? ​1/5
times of the nuclear worker ​(question and answer from DanMan file 2019 question 724)

○ 50msv/year (0.05sv/year)– is the standard that people should have (the max
radiation dosage for a dental professional per year)
○ Workers of nuclear plant, how much radiation permitted yearly = 5 rem/ 5000 mrem
yearly (on average, a nuclear worker receives approx. 150 mrem (0.15 rem) of
occupational exposure a year)
○ 1 sv = 100 rem

66.Leukoedema?

○ Bi-lateral opacification of the buccal mucosa

○ Goes away when you stretch it

67. ​Not​ a reason why a post would break- ​because of the material of the post

○ (yes to not enough ferrule, parafunctional habits, occlusion).

CysLT 1 receptor ​which blocks leukotrienes activities to cause asthma symptoms.

○ Leukotriene receptor antagonist used to treat asthma and seasonal allergies

○ Montelukast inhibits bronchoconstriction due to antigen challenge.

answer was ​symptomatic apical periodontitis
○ What was her tongue issue? ​Candidiasis​, lichen planus.
○ Her son called and said she fell on ice and chipped composite that was distal of #8,
which you again had to squint and see it was small, and only a small composite. What do
you do? I said ​replace composite​. Options had full ceramic crown, veneer. I thought
since she’s old and it was a small composite you wouldn’t just do a crown for it.

○ What can be done to fix his cross bite?
■ Buccal tipping of max ​(his teeth were lingually tipped and pushing them buccal
would resolve it)
○ Why was his enamel white spotted?
■ Amelogenesis imperfecta
■ Dentinogenesis imperfect
■ Fluorosis
■ I was in between fluorosis and amelogenesis
imperfecta. I chose Fluorosis because it didn’t
seem so bad like a defect in enamel. Looked
similar to this nothing severe

slope of the mandibular canine. Maxillary Canine sits perfectly in the embrasure
space between the mandibular 1st PM and canine.

12.Crossbite due to what?

○ Angle Class III malocclusion usually associated with ​anterior cross bite
■ Reverse Overjet – Anterior crossbite (usually class III)
○ Posterior Crossbite
■ Dental – patient with adequate palatal width
■ Skeletal – inadequate palatal width
○ Unilateral crossbites are usually due to a mandibular shift

13. ​Not​ ideal overjet and overbite due to what? ​Pacifiers and Finger Sucking or Primary Canine Loss

7.LED composite light vs halogen curing light:​ ​LED curing light faster for curing materials and more
lightweight, portable, and effective compared to the halogen curing lights.
What is NOT an advantage of LED cure in comparison to Halogen? ​Curing Depth
● LED:​ produce a blue light in the 400-500 nm range, with a peak wavelength of about 460nm.
They are more lightweight, portable and effective compared to the halogen curing lights. They
produce less heat and do not require a fan to cool it. LED curing lights cure material much faster

whereas Dentinal Dysplasia CANNOT.
● Dentinal Dysplasia:​ Loss in organization of dentin in primary and permanent teeth. It is
Autosomal Dominant and has 2 types. Teeth are NOT good candidates for restorations.
○ Type 1 ​“rootless teeth”. Normal coronal enamel and dentin, roots shortened due to
disorganized radicular dentin, teeth mobile and premature exfoliation. Chevron pulps and
short roots in permanent dentition; obliterated pulp chambers in primary teeth.
○ Type 2​ (resembles dentinogenesis imperfecta) in that root length is normal, but crowns
are blue-brown translucent, bulbous, and have cervical constriction. Again primary teeth
have obliterated pulp; permanent teeth have thistle tube and contain pulp stones.
● Dentinogenesis Imperfecta (DI):​ Autosomal Dominant, affects formation of dentin, may be seen
with osteogenesis imperfecta. Has blue brown discoloration/translucence (Blue Sclera), bulbous
crowns with cervical constriction and early obliteration of pulp and canals. Shell tooth appearance
(normal enamel, thin dentin, large pulp chamber). Teeth are very prone to damage and breakage
like with amelogenesis imperfecta. Treatment for these teeth include full coverage of teeth with
close to normal shaped crowns and roots, overlay denture.
● Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI):​ ​Amelogenesis imperfecta is a group of rare genetic conditions in
which the outer layer of the teeth (enamel) fails to develop properly. People with amelogenesis
imperfecta will have small, yellow, or brown teeth that are very prone to damage and breakage.
They will show rapid attrition, excessive calculus deposition and gingival hyperplasia. Is usually
Autosomal Dominant. Can cause hypoplastic pitting enamel.

Tetracycline:​ bacterio​static​, protein synthesis inhibitor (30s) ; ​does NOT decrease gingival crevicular
fluid (GCF) flow
• Block activity of collagenase, bind to ​30S​ (block AA linked tRNA)
• Is usually NOT used because they can cause yeast infections as well as opportunistic
infections

staining:
§ Primary teeth→ before 4 months in utero
§ Permanent teeth → birth
Do ​NOT​ give codeine or tetracycline to lactating female

64.Know penicillin well → ​Penicillin for odontogenic infections

Penicillin​ is bacter​icidal ​and inhibits peptidoglycan cell wall by binding to transpeptidase
• It is a GREAT drug to give because it is → ​cheap, low toxicity, and not a lot of people are
allergic to it
• Mechanism of Action of Penicillin (Bactericidal against gram (+)) is closely related to ​Keflex
(Cephalexin)
• If patient is allergic to penicillin then could have cross reactivity with ​Cephalosporins​ as well.
• ​Transpeptidase enzyme​ is ​inhibited​ by Penicillin
• Has decreased effectiveness in abscess/cyst due to ​Hyaluronidase​ (penicillin is unable to
reach organism/ ​can’t penetrate the cyst barrier​)
• ​Penicillin CANNOT be taken with ERYTHROMYCIN or TETRACYCLINE!!! They are
antagonists (cidal + static) so they cancel each other out
65.Pemphigus vs pemphigoid which one causes the ocular issue? ​Pemphigoid

79.Ortho question about osteoclast vs osteoblast activity
● Orthodontic tooth movement​ relies on coordinated tissue
resorption and formation in the surrounding bone and
periodontal ligament. Tooth loading causes local hypoxia and
fluid flow, initiating an aseptic inflammatory cascade
culminating in ​osteoclast resorption in areas of
compression​ and ​osteoblast deposition (& increased
fibroblastic activity) in areas of tension.​ Compression and
tension are associated with particular signaling factors,
establishing local gradients to regulate remodeling of the bone
and periodontal ligament for tooth displacement.

80.Which type of grafts cause bone growth? ​OsteoINDUCTIVE ​not osteoconductive

● Allograft and Autograft

that is used to orient a human skull or head usually so that the plane is horizontal

86.Picture of ​Class 2 division 2 →

87.Question about do you do ortho before or after

veneers→ ​before
● In many cases it is ideal to move and align

93.Enterohepatic circulation​ definition → ​Enterohepatic circulation​: Substances that undergo

enterohepatic circulation are metabolized in the liver (by conjugation), excreted in the bile, and passed
into the intestine (where bacteria break some of the conjugated drug, releasing the unmetabolized drug
again) where they are reabsorbed across the intestinal mucosa (returns to systemic circulation) and
returned to the liver via the portal circulation.

substances from the liver to the bile, followed by entry into the small intestine, absorption by the
enterocyte and transport back to the liver.

94.First pass effect definition → ​First pass effect​: After a drug is swallowed, it is absorbed by the
digestive system and enters the portal circulation to the liver. First pass metabolism is the enzymatic
degradation in the ​liver​ prior to drug reaching its site of action (target organ).
● Alternative routes of administration (e.g., intravenous, intramuscular, sublingual) avoid the
first-pass effect.
● A ​first​-​pass effect​ is defined as the rapid uptake and metabolism of an agent into inactive
compounds by the liver, immediately after enteric absorption and before it reaches the systemic
circulation.

95.Bioavailability definition → ​Bioavailability​: Highly absorbed drug (high bioavail.) requires a lower dose
than poorly absorbed. Most important determinant of drug dose is POTENCY of drug. ​(​the proportion of a
drug or other substance that enters the circulation when introduced into the body and so is able to have
an active effect.) It is the amount of drug that is available in blood/plasma. It is measuring how much drug
is absorbed in the circulation.
● the proportion of a drug or other substance which enters the circulation when introduced into the
body and so is able to have an active effect.

29.​Same tqs about direct and indirect pulp capping (4-6 questions)
● Two different types of pulp cap are distinguished.
● In ​direct pulp capping​,​ the protective dressing is placed directly over an exposed pulp
○ One stage procedure
○ It is only feasible if the exposure is made through non infected dentin and there is no
recent history of spontaneous pain (i.e. irreversible pulpitis)
○ Placement of Calcium Hydroxide (CaOH) or MTA over exposure and then place
restoration on top.
○ Indications for Direct Pulp Cap:
■ Immature/mature permanent teeth with simple restoration needs
■ Recent trauma less than 24hours exposure of pulp / mechanical trauma
exposure (during restorative procedure)
■ Minimal or no bleeding at exposure site
■ Normal sensibility test
■ Not tender to percussion
■ No periradicular pathology
■ Young patient
● In ​indirect pulp capping,​ ​ a thin layer of softened dentin, that if removed would expose the pulp,
is left in place and the protective dressing is placed on top.
○ Stepwise caries removal is a two-stage procedure over about six months.
○ the dentist intentionally leaves the softened dentin/decay in place, and uses a layer of
protective temporary material (CaOH or MTA) which promotes remineralization of the
softened dentin over the pulp and the laying down of new layers of tertiary dentin in the
pulp chamber.
○ A temporary filling is used to keep the material in place, and about 6 months later, the
cavity is re-opened and hopefully there is now enough sound dentin over the pulp (a
"dentin bridge") that any residual softened dentin can be removed and a permanent filling
can be placed.
○ Indications for INdirect Pulp Cap:
■ indicated in a permanent tooth diagnosed with a normal ​pulp​ with ​no symptoms
of pulpitis or with a diagnosis of reversible pulpitis.
