Long-term bisphosphonate therapy can lead to avascular necrosis (specifically MRONJ - Medication-Related Osteonecrosis of the Jaw), particularly in the jaw, due to reduced blood supply resulting from inhibited osteoclast activity.
What is a potential complication of bisphosphonate therapy?
1) Quickened recovery
2) Avascular necrosis
3) Heightened bone density
4) Increased pain during treatment

The melting point of red modeling plastic (Type I Impression Compound) is typically around 50-51°C.
Melting point of red modeling plastic is:
1) 50-51 degree CAn oroantral fistula (OAF) of 1 cm diameter is considered a medium-sized, chronic fistula (present for 4 weeks). Chronic fistulae require surgical closure, which involves de-epithelializing (refreshing the margins) the tract and providing a water-tight soft tissue flap closure.
A healthy patient with complains of nasal regurgitation of oral fluid after 4 weeks of extraction. You examine and find an oroantral fistula of 1 cm diameter. What will be the treatment plan for the patient?
1) Give obturator indefinitely
2) Treat for chronic sinusitis before surgery for closure
3) Immediate closure of fistula with flap under general anesthesia
4) Refresh the margins and give a water tight seal

2) Body
3) Condyle
4) Ramus
Hypothyroidism decreases metabolic activity, leading to a decreased Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR).

Tranexamic acid is an antifibrinolytic agent that helps reduce bleeding by preventing the breakdown of blood clots, making it a common choice for managing blood loss during surgical procedures like maxillofacial surgery. Heparin is an anticoagulant (prevents clotting), while lactic acid and aceto-acetic acid are metabolic byproducts not used for blood loss management.
Which of the following is given in blood loss during maxillofacial surgery?
1) Tranexamic acid
2) Heparin
3) Lactic acid
4) Aceto-acetic acid
Moyers, Tanaka and Johnston, and Stanley and Kerber analyses all utilize the width of the mandibular incisors to predict the size of unerupted canines and premolars. Hukaba's analysis, however, does not rely on this measurement.
Which of the following analysis does not use mandibular incisors in mixed dentition analysis?
1) Moyers
2) Hukaba's
3) Tanaka and Johnston
4) Stanley and Kerber
