Answer: 4
Mottling is seen due to scattered radiation.
Objects which cause attenuation of X-ray beam are shown as............in image
1. Radiolucent
2. Radiopaque
3. Gray
4. None of the above
Radiology
Answer: 2
Objects which cause attenuation of X-ray beam are shown as radiopaque in an
image.
Radiopaque materials absorb or block X-rays, leading to a reduced transmission
of the X-ray beam. This results in the appearance of white areas or shadows on
the X-ray image, indicating the presence of dense structures like bone, metal
restorations, or calculi. Radiolucent structures, on the other hand, allow
X-rays to pass through more freely, resulting in dark areas on the image.

1. Branching with bloom
2. Branching with leaves
3. Branchless with fruit-laden
4. Branchless with leaves
Radiology
Answer: 1
The sialographic appearance of a normal salivary gland is branching with bloom.
Which of the following changes should be done to change from the long scale contrast film technique to a short scale contrast film technique while maintaining the same density
1. Decrease the kVp and increase the mA
2. Decrease the kVp and mA
3. Increase the kVp and decrease mA
4. Increase the kVp and mA
Radiology
Answer: 1
To change from the long scale contrast film technique to a short scale contrast film technique while maintaining the same density, decrease the kVp and increase the mA.

4. High contrast, high speed
Radiology
Answer: 3
Characteristic of screen film used for cephalometric radiograph is low contrast, wide latitude.

The radiographic view that has to be avoided in patients with cervical spondylitis is Submentovertex.
Location and radiographic density make a talon cusp appear similar to
1) Delacerations
2) Concrescence
3) A supernumerary tooth
4) Dens in dente
Radiology
Answer: 3
1. Anodontia: This is the complete absence of teeth. It is a rare condition
where an individual fails to develop any teeth.
2. Oligodontia: This term is used when an individual has fewer teeth than the
typical dental formula, which is six incisors, two canines, two premolars, and
six molars in the permanent dentition (excluding the third molars or wisdom
teeth). The term "hypodontia" is often used synonymously with oligodontia, but
hypodontia can also refer to a broader range of conditions characterized by the
congenital absence of one or more teeth, whereas oligodontia is more
specifically the absence of six or more teeth.
3. Microdontia: This condition involves teeth that are smaller than normal. It
can affect either the primary or permanent dentition and may involve one tooth
or multiple teeth.
4. Dens in dente: This is a rare developmental anomaly where a tooth forms
within the dental crown of another tooth, typically in the form of a small
tooth-like structure. It is not a condition of tooth number but rather an
abnormality of tooth structure.
