Radiology
The wavelength of X-ray photon depends upon kilo voltage.
The wavelength of X-rays is inversely proportional to their energy, and the
energy of X-ray photons is determined by the kilo voltage (kV) used in the X-ray
tube. Higher kV results in higher energy and shorter wavelength photons, which
are more penetrating and are used for imaging denser tissues, while lower kV
results in lower energy and longer wavelength photons, which are less
penetrating and are used for imaging softer tissues. The other factors mentioned
(milli amperage, distance between source and object, and quantity of electrons
in the cathodic stream) affect the intensity of the X-ray beam but not the
wavelength of the photons.

PedodonticsThe most important modification of amalgam restorations on primary teeth is cavity preparation (Answer: 2). Unlike permanent teeth, primary teeth have a thinner enamel layer and a larger pulp chamber relative to their size. Therefore, the cavity preparation must be done with caution to avoid pulp exposure and ensure the longevity of the restoration.

Oral Medicine
The most common site of venous thrombosis in patients with cancer is the deep veins of the lower extremities, often referred to as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This is due to a combination of factors such as immobility, cancer-induced hypercoagulability, and damage to the vessels from tumor infiltration or surgery.

Oral SurgeryThe first direction for force application with extraction forceps is apically. This initial apical pressure helps to expand the alveolar socket and break the periodontal ligament fibers. After apical pressure, buccal and lingual movements are applied to complete the extraction.

Oral PathologyFibrous ankylosis is the most common complication of rheumatoid arthritis involving the TMJ. RA causes chronic synovitis, leading to destruction of articular cartilage and subchondral bone. This inflammatory process results in scar tissue formation and fibrous adhesions between articular surfaces, causing restricted mouth opening. While condylar resorption may occur, fibrous ankylosis is more frequent and characteristic of RA progression.
