Vitamin "D" deficiency causes
1. Widening of predentin
2. Defective calcification
3. Microdontia
4. Interglobular dentin formation
Oral Pathology
Answer: 1
Vitamin D deficiency causes widening of predentin due to defective calcification.
Defect leading to thalassemia lies in -
1) Haemoglobin
2) Osmotic fragility
3) RBC membrane
4) Platelets

1) Pneumocystic carinii
2) Cryptococcal meningitis
3) Toxoplasmosis
4) Tuberculosis
Oral Pathology
Answer: 1
Explanation: A compound odontoma is a type of odontogenic tumor that consists of multiple small tooth-like structures (denticles) and resembles the anatomy of normal teeth. In contrast, a complex odontoma has a more disorganized structure and does not resemble normal teeth.
Compound odontoma shows on a radiograph as
1) Supernumerary teeth
2) Radiolucent and radiopaque areas
3) Masses of calcified areas
4) Distinguishable tooth-like structures
Oral Pathology
Answer: 4
A compound odontoma is a benign odontogenic tumor consisting of enamel, dentin, cementum, and pulp arranged in recognizable tooth-like structures. Radiographically, it appears as multiple small, tooth-like radiopaque structures, unlike complex odontomas, which show as masses of calcified material.
True about Sickle cell anemia except -
1) Commonly seen in black
2) R.B.C. size is altered
3) Valine for Glutamic acid in ?-chain globin
4) Deletion of gene
General Pathology
Answer: 4
Deletion of a gene is not true about sickle cell anemia; it is caused by a point mutation, not a deletion.
Which of the following blood components can be expected to increase with disseminated intravascular coagulation?
1) Factor V
2) Fibrin degradation products
3) Fibrinogen
4) Plasminogen
General Pathology Answer: 2
Fibrin degradation products increase in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) due to the breakdown of fibrin clots.
