Aspirin, clopidogrel, and ticagrelor are all antiplatelet drugs. Fondaparinux, however, is an anticoagulant. Therefore, only option 3 consists solely of antiplatelet drugs.
Which of the following combinations includes only antiplatelet drugs?
1. Aspirin and Fondaparinux
2. Clopidogrel and Fondaparinux
3. Ticagrelor and Clopidogrel
4. Fondaparinux and Ticagrelor
When a facebow is not used, the maxillary cast is mounted arbitrarily on the articulator, meaning its position relative to the hinge axis is not accurate. Increasing the vertical dimension (VDO) on an arbitrarily mounted cast will cause a significant change in the horizontal relationship of the casts (centric relation) due to the arc of closure being incorrect. Therefore, a new interocclusal record must be taken at the new desired VDO.
In an edentulous patient jaw relations are recorded without the use of face bow. Maxillary cast is mounted on articulator. Now dentist wants to increase vertical dimension of occlusion by 4 mm. It leads to:
1) Take a new interocclual record
2) Increase the vertical dimension at rest
3) Change in the condylar guidance
4) Change in centric relation
Garre's osteomyelitis predominantly affects young individuals (children and adolescents). Affecting primarily adults is the incorrect statement.
Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of chronic osteomyelitis with proliferative periostitis (Garre's osteomyelitis)?
1) Onion skin appearance on radiographs
2) Primarily affects adults
3) Inflammatory response leading to new bone deposition
4) Typically associated with low-grade infection
Anterior crossbite (tooth 21) in a 9-year-old should be treated immediately to prevent functional shifts, abnormal wear, and potential skeletal complications.
In a 9 year old boy, 21 is in crossbite. What treatment you should advocate?
1) Treat immediatelyThe Greater Auricular Nerve (C2, C3) supplies the skin over the parotid gland, the angle of the mandible, and the lower part of the ear.
Skin over the angle of mandible is supplied by:
1) Greater auricular nerveApertognathia specifically refers to a skeletal anterior open bite where the upper and lower teeth fail to reach occlusal contact.
What does the term "apertognathia" refer to?
1) Open bite
2) Lower incisor crowding
3) Closed bite
4) Cross bite
Awake fibreoptic intubation is preferred for skull base fractures to avoid accidental intracranial placement of the tube (a risk with blind nasal intubation) and to manage potential cervical spine injuries.
In case of fracture of skull base, which method is used for intubation?
1) Awake fibreoptic bronchoscope intubationCervical enamel projections (CEPs) are extensions of enamel towards the furcation. They are most frequently found on the buccal surface of mandibular first molars, followed by maxillary first molars.
Cervical enamel projection is most commonly seen with:
1) Maxillary first molarThe Nasion (the intersection of the frontal and nasal bones) is generally considered a highly stable and accurately identifiable landmark compared to points like Porion (often obscured) or Point A (variable with tooth position).
Which landmark is typically the most accurately marked on a cephalometric analysis?
1) Point A
2) Nasion
3) Sella
4) Porion
