Oral PathologyScleroderma (systemic sclerosis) does NOT cause widening of the oral aperture. Instead, it causes NARROWING (microstomia) of the oral aperture due to perioral fibrosis and skin tightening. Scleroderma does cause a hard, rigid tongue due to collagen deposition, pseudoankylosis of TMJ due to fibrosis, and difficulty swallowing (dysphagia) due to esophageal involvement.

EndodonticsIn the walking bleach procedure, sodium perborate is the primary technique used. The walking bleach method involves: 1) Mixing sodium perborate with water or 3% hydrogen peroxide to form a paste, 2) Placing this mixture in the pulp chamber of endodontically treated teeth, 3) Sealing the access cavity with temporary restoration, 4) Patient returns after 3-7 days for evaluation and possible reapplication. Sodium perborate releases oxygen slowly, providing sustained bleaching action. HCl is used in microabrasion, not walking bleach.

State PSC PYQThe vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) test is a diagnostic tool used to detect tumours that originate from the neural crest, such as neuroblastoma and pheochromocytoma.These tumours produce excess catecholamines (like adrenaline and noradrenaline), which are then broken down into VMA.Elevated levels of VMA in the urine indicate the presence of such tumours..
