MDS PREP
9 months of age, is the usual eruption time for
1. primary mandibular canines
2. primary maxillary canines
3. primary maxillary first molars
4. primary lower lateral incisors
Dental Anatomy
Answer: 4
9 months of age, is the usual eruption time for primary lower lateral incis
When calcospherites fail to fuse during calcification of dentin matrix then
1 Interglobular dentin is formed
2 Dead tracts are found in formed dentin
3 Irregular dentin results
4 None
Dental Anatomy
Answer: 1
Sometimes, mineralization of dentin begins in small globular areas that fail to coalesce into a homogenous mass. This results in zones of hypomineralization between the globules.
These zones are known as globular dentin or interglobular spaces. Thus, demonstrating defect of mineralization and not of matrix formation, the dentinal tubules pass uninterruptedly through interglobular dentin.
During eruption of permanent teeth, alveolar bone is
1. deposited only
2. resorbed only
3. resorbed and deposited intermittently
4. neither resorbed nor deposited
Dental Anatomy Answer: 3
During eruption of permanent teeth, alveolar bone is resorbed and deposited intermittently
The primary canine is usually exfoliated between the ages of
1. 5 and 6 years
2. 10 and 11 years
3. l3 and l4years
4. 8 and 9years
Dental Anatomy
Answer: 2
The primary canine is usually exfoliated between the ages of 10 and 11 years
Primary teeth begin to calcify between the ________ and ________months in
utero.
1) first; second
2) second; fourth
3) fourth; sixth
4) sixth; eighth
The primary teeth begin to form in utero at about six weeks. Hard tissue
formation occurs in all primary teeth by the 18th week in utero. 3. The
permanent teeth begin to develop at approximately four months of age in utero.
Maxillary and mandibular first molars begin to calcify at birth.
A permanent tooth erupting in the mouth of an 11 years old child is most likely
1. maxillary lateral incisor
2. mandibular second bicuspid
3. maxillary third molar
4. rnandibular central incisor
Dental Anatomy
Answer: 2
A permanent tooth erupting in the mouth of an 11 years old child is most likely mandibular second bicuspid
The canine eminence is
1. associated with the mandibular canine only
2. the labial ridge on the crown of canine
3. an osseous structure surrounding the root of a canine on the facial aspect
4. the prominent ridge on the lingual surface of a maxillary canine
Dental Anatomy Answer: 3
The canine eminence is
an osseous structure surrounding the root of a canine on the facial aspect
When calcospherites fail to fuse during calcification of dentin matrix then
1 Interglobular dentin is formed
2 Dead tracts are found in formed dentin
3 Irregular dentin results
4 None
Dental Anatomy Answer: 1
Interglobular Dentin:
Sometimes, mineralization of dentin begins in small globular areas that fail to coalesce into a homogenous mass. This results in zones of hypomineralization between the globules.
These zones are known as globular dentin or interglobular spaces. Thus, demonstrating defect of mineralization and not of matrix formation, the dentinal tubules pass uninterruptedly through interglobular dentin.
