Nerve membrane stabilization action of local anaesthetic agents is due to
1. Increasing conductance of potassium ions
2. Creating negative after potentials
3. Preventing conductance of Na ions from the exterior of the nerve to the intrior
4. None of the above
Oral Surgery
Answer: 3
Nerve membrane stabilization action of local anaesthetic agents is due to preventing conductance of Na ions from the exterior of the nerve to the interior.
In depressed zygomatic arch fracture, difficulty in opening the mouth is caused by impingement of
1. Condyles
2. Ramus
3. Petrous temporal
4. Coronoid process
Oral Surgery
Answer: 4
The coronoid process can become impinged due to
displacement of the zygomatic arch, restricting the movement of the mandible and
causing trismus (difficulty in mouth opening).
A contraindication to local infiltration technique
1. Hypertension
2. Diabetic patient in whom urine sugar present
3. Infection in the arch
4. Kidney problems
Oral Surgery
Answer: 3
Local infiltration is a safe and effective technique for achieving anesthesia in
most situations. However, it is contraindicated in the presence of infection in
the arch because it can spread the infection further or lead to complications
like an abscess. Hypertension and kidney problems are not direct
contraindications to local anesthesia, but they may require careful monitoring
of the patient's condition. Diabetes with urine sugar present does not directly
contraindicate the use of local anesthetics unless there are severe
complications or neuropathy involved.
Among the following which is advantage of sagittal split osteotomy over transoral vertical subcondylar osteotomy
1) Greater mandibular movement is achieved
2) Because it is intraoral procedure. No external scar is produced
3) Alone may be used to correct a mandibular retrognathism and prognathism
4) Less chance of injuring the inferior dental canal
Oral Surgery
Answer: 3
Among the given choices, the advantage of a sagittal split osteotomy over a transoral vertical subcondylar osteotomy is that it allows for greater mandibular movement. The sagittal split osteotomy is a surgical technique used in orthognathic surgery to reposition the mandible in cases of severe skeletal discrepancies. It involves splitting the mandible along the midline and moving the two halves apart, which can provide significant advancement or setback of the lower jaw. This technique may be used to correct both mandibular prognathism and retrognathism, making it a versatile option in orthognathic surgery. Additionally, it is associated with fewer complications compared to the transoral vertical subcondylar osteotomy, which involves cutting through the medullary bone of the condyle and can pose a higher risk of injury to the facial nerve and other vital structures. However, it's important to note that the choice of surgical approach is determined by the specific case and the individual patient's needs.

2. Towards the bone to be sacrificed
3. Independent of the bone to be sacrificed
4. Parallel to stress lines
Oral Surgery
Answer: 2
The direction of the bevel of the chisel during bone cutting is towards the bone to be sacrificed.
