#1 State PSC PYQ
The technique records stress-bearing areas in functional form, non-stress-bearing areas in anatomic form, and helps obtain maximum peripheral extension. Recording non-stress-bearing areas in functional form is NOT one of its objectives.
Tap for Question
Answer
Which of the following is NOT an objective of the fluid wax impression technique?
1) It is used to record the stress-bearing areas in functional form
2) It is used to record the non-stress-bearing areas in functional form
3) It is used to record the non-stress-bearing areas in anatomic form
4) It is used to obtain maximum extension of the peripheral borders of the denture

Oral lichen planus is a T-cell mediated autoimmune disease. IFN-γ and TNF-α are present in lesions and involved in its pathogenesis. IFN-γ is the key cytokine in cellular immune response.

Tap for Question
Answer

Which of the following cytokines is predominantly involved in the pathogenesis of Oral Lichen Planus?

  1. Interleukin-4 (IL-4)
  2. Interferon-gamma (IFN-γ)
  3. Interleukin-10
  4. Tumor Necrosis Factor

#3 State PSC PYQ
The DMFT (Decayed, Missing, and Filled Teeth) index is used to measure both the prevalence and severity of dental caries in an individual. It quantifies the number of teeth that are decayed, missing due to caries, or filled, providing a comprehensive assessment of past and present caries experience. 
Tap for Question
Answer

Which of the following indices is used to measure both dental caries prevalence and severity in an individual?

  1. CPI index
  2. Plaque index
  3. OHI-S index
  4. DMFT index

#4 State PSC PYQ
Primary prevention aims to stop disease before it starts. Pit and fissure sealants protect tooth surfaces and prevent caries formation.
Serial extraction and scaling and root planning are examples of secondary or tertiary prevention, as they involve treatment after a condition (malocclusion or periodontal disease) has already started.
Fluoride use on incipient caries is also secondary prevention as it aims to halt the progression of an already existing early lesion.
Tap for Question
Answer
Which of the following is an example of primary prevention in dentistry?
1) Pit and fissure sealants
2) Serial extraction
3) Scaling and root planning
4) Fluoride use on incipient caries

Tap for Question
Answer
Which of the following is NOT a disadvantage of ceramic materials for dental restorations?
1) High brittleness under tensile stress
2) High thermal conductivity
3) Difficulty in bonding to tooth structure
4) Low aesthetic quality compared to composites

Tongue thrusting causes constant anterior pressure, preventing proper overlap of front teeth and resulting in an open bite.
Tap for Question
Answer
What is the effect of tongue thrusting on occlusion?
1) Crossbite
2) Open bite
3) Crowding
4) Overbite

Type 1 collagen is predominantly expressed in the proliferative zone of the developing secondary cartilage of the condyle.This zone is responsible for the growth of the condyle through cell division and differentiation.
Tap for Question
Answer
In which zone of the developing secondary cartilage of the condyle is type 1 collagen expressed?
1) Proliferative zone
2) Zone of hypertrophy
3) Zone of maturation
4) Zone of endochondral ossification

#8 State PSC PYQ
The Christensen/s phenomenon refers to the gap that occurs between the opposing posterior occlusal surfaces when the mandible is protruded.This disocclusion is a key consideration in dental procedures, especially in the fabrication of complete dentures, to ensure proper balance and function.
Tap for Question
Answer
The Christensen's phenomenon is associated with
1) Horizontal overlap in centric relation
2) Vertical overlap of anterior teeth
3) Intermaxillary arch width discrepancy
4) Posterior disocclusion during protrusion

#9 State PSC PYQ
The paralleling technique in intraoral periapical radiography is based on the principle of using parallel lines and right angles to produce an accurate image of the tooth structure.This method requires the image receptor (film or sensor) to be positioned parallel to the long axis of the tooth being radiographed.To prevent image distortion (magnification or foreshortening), the central ray of the X-ray beam is then directed perpendicularly to both the image receptor and the long axis of the tooth.
Tap for Question
Answer
Principle behind paralleling technique in intraoral periapical radiography:
1) Film angled to tooth; ray perpendicular to tooth
2) Film parallel to long axis of tooth; ray perpendicular to both
3) Film parallel to long axis of tooth; ray perpendicular to both (duplicate from source)
4) Film perpendicular to long axis; ray at acute angle
