In epidemiology, incidence refers to the number of new cases of a disease or
condition that occur within a specific time frame in a defined population.
Dental caries, also known as tooth decay, is a common chronic condition where
bacteria in the mouth produce acids that destroy the tooth enamel and underlying
dentin, leading to cavities. The incidence of dental caries would be the number
of new cases of tooth decay diagnosed within a given period, say a year or
another time interval.
Point prevalence, on the other hand, is the proportion of a population that has
a specific condition at a particular point in time. It is a measure of the
prevalence of dental caries at a single moment, which does not account for new
cases or recoveries.
Period prevalence is the proportion of the population that has had a particular
condition during a specific period of time, such as a year or a month. This
measure includes both new cases and cases that have persisted from before the
start of the period in question.

ProsthodonticsThe statement that is INCORRECT is that "the floor of the rest seat must be slightly away from the center of the tooth." Actually, the deepest part of the rest seat should be positioned toward the CENTER of the tooth to direct forces along the long axis. The other statements are correct - triangular outline, deepest part centrally located, and base on marginal ridge.

The goal of bone removal during the extraction of an impacted molar
is to expose enough of the tooth to allow for proper grasping with forceps and
to reduce the risk of fracturing the tooth or surrounding structures. It is
typically not necessary to remove bone up to the furcation or half the roots
unless there are specific pathological reasons to do so.
