Elgiloy wires are a cobalt-chromium-nickel alloy used in orthodontics that can be hardened by heat treatment to increase their strength and spring properties. Stainless steel, beta-titanium, and nickel-titanium wires have different properties and typically do not require hardening heat treatment in the same way.

Dental Materials
Ormocers offer several advantages over conventional composites. They have excellent biocompatibility, minimal shrinkage, and their chemical structure allows for high resistance to masticatory forces. Additionally, they are aesthetically pleasing and can be polished to resemble natural teeth.

EndodonticsPeriapical radiographs are essential tools in endodontic practice. They help in determining the length of the root canal during procedures like root canals. They can also reveal signs of infection or inflammation around the apex of the tooth (periapical pathosis), which indicates the presence of infection in the pulp.

In iron deficiency anemia, the body/s iron stores are low. This leads to decreased serum ferritin and serum iron levels. To compensate, the body increases the production of transferrin, the protein that transports iron, which increases the total iron binding capacity (TIBC)

General MicrobiologyAdoptive immunization involves the transfer of readymade immune cells, such as antibodies, from a donor to a recipient. Tetanus immunization is typically achieved through active immunization with the tetanus toxoid, which induces the body to produce its own antibodies against the tetanus toxin. Passive immunization, on the other hand, is achieved by injecting tetanus antitoxin, which provides immediate but temporary protection by neutralizing the toxin in the recipients body. The statement is incorrect because tetanus toxoid is used for active immunization, not adoptive immunization.

internal rests in removable partial dentures (RPDs) are placed
within the edentulous ridge (e.g., on the lingual or palatal side)
to provide support and stabilization.

PeriodonticsWhile changing attitudes and providing information are important, the primary goal of patient education in dentistry is to encourage behavioral changes that lead to improved oral hygiene practices. This may include consistent brushing and flossing, dietary changes, and regular dental visits.
