Recommended Doses of Fluoride Tablets

For Children Aged 6 Months to 4 Years:

  • Liquid drops are typically prescribed in doses of 0.125, 0.25, and 0.5 mg of fluoride ion.

For Children Aged 4 Years and Older:

  • Chewable tablets or lozenges are recommended, usually at doses of 0.5 mg to 1 mg of fluoride ion.

Adjustments Based on Water Fluoride Levels:

  • Doses may be adjusted based on the fluoride content in the child's drinking water to ensure adequate protection against dental caries.

Duration of Supplementation:

  • Fluoride supplementation is generally continued until the child reaches 16 years of age, depending on their fluoride exposure and dental health status.

General Medicine

Adrenaline (epinephrine) is a sympathomimetic agent that causes bronchodilatation. It is used to relieve bronchospasm in anaphylactic shock reactions. 
Histamine, kinins and prostaglandins, such as prostaglandin E2, are inflammatory mediators. In response to allergic stimuli, inflammatory mediators may cause bronchoconstrictions. 
Guaifenesin is an expectorant preparation that increases bronchial secretions to promote the expulsion of the mucus coughed up.

Explanation: The outline form of a Class V cavity preparation is primarily determined by the extent of carious tissue. The goal is to remove all carious dentin while preserving as much healthy tooth structure as possible. The outline form must encompass the entire area affected by caries to ensure that the restoration is effective and durable. Other factors, such as the height of the gingival crest, type of restorative material, and tooth anatomy, may influence the preparation but are secondary to the extent of caries.

Oral Pathology

Capillary haemangioma is a vascular tumor composed of proliferating capillaries. Because of its vascular nature, pulsations or murmurs may be detected clinically when auscultated or palpated.

Osteogenic sarcoma → Malignant bone tumor, not associated with vascular murmurs.

Epidermoid carcinoma → Malignant epithelial tumor, no pulsations or murmurs.

Osteoid osteoma → Benign bone tumor, typically presents with localized pain (often nocturnal), not vascular murmurs.

The reciprocal clasp arm is designed to counteract the forces exerted by the retentive clasp arm during insertion and removal of a removable partial denture (RPD).

  • It should be placed on the lingual surface of the abutment tooth.

  • The correct position is at the junction of the middle and gingival thirds of the tooth.

  • This ensures:

    • Stability against lateral forces.

    • Reciprocation to balance the retentive clasp.

    • Comfort and minimal interference with occlusion.

  • Retentive clasp arm → placed in the gingival third (below the height of contour).

  • Reciprocal clasp arm → placed in the middle third or at the junction of middle and gingival thirds (above the height of contour).

  • Together, they provide retention + reciprocation for functional balance.

    Cervical rib usually arises from the 7th cervical vertebra. It represents an anomalous extra rib arising from the transverse process of C7. This congenital abnormality can cause thoracic outlet syndrome by compressing neurovascular structures in the thoracic outlet.

    The final polish of a cast gold alloy to achieve a smooth polished surface is done by

    1) Pickling: This is a process used to remove oxides and impurities from the surface of a metal before applying a final finish. However, it does not provide the final polish.
    2) Electropolishing: This technique uses an electrical current to dissolve the metal surface and create a smooth finish, but it is not commonly used for gold alloy restorations.
    3) Sandblasting: This method involves propelling an abrasive material against the metal surface to smooth and clean it, but it is too aggressive for the final polish of a gold alloy restoration.
    4) Rouge: Rouge is a fine abrasive paste used with a polishing wheel or point to achieve the final polish on a cast gold alloy restoration. It removes minor imperfections and gives a high luster to the metal.

    The correct answer is 4) Rouge, as it is the standard technique for achieving a smooth, polished surface on cast gold alloys.
