MDS PREP
Identify the wrong statement regarding true except
1. Association with gingivitis
2. Associated with periodontitis
3. May not cause bleeding on probing
4. None of the above
Pedodontics
Answer: 1
Gingivitis is typically associated with plaque-induced inflammation of the gingiva, but not all gingival lesions directly correlate with other periodontal conditions like periodontitis or specific non-bleeding phenomena.

4. Pseudo pocket
Pedodontics
Answer: 4
A periodontal pocket of 6 mm deep lying coronal to the junctional epithelium is a pseudo pocket.

Pedodontics
Answer: 3
The only clinical criteria used to test the efficacy of coronoplasty is reduction in teeth mobility.
Average caries attack per year between 5 and 15 years of age is
1) 1 cavity
2) 2 cavities
3) 3 cavities
4) 4 cavities
Pedodontics
Answer: 1
Explanation: Research indicates that the average caries experience in children aged 5 to 15 years is approximately 1 cavity per year. This statistic can vary based on factors such as diet, oral hygiene practices, and access to dental care, but on average, it is considered to be around 1 cavity per year during this developmental stage. This highlights the importance of preventive dental care and regular check-ups to manage and reduce the incidence of dental caries in children.
A light bluish dome-shaped lesion on the inside of a lip of 2 year-old-child is
1) Mucocele
2) Haematoma
3) Melanoma
4) Haemangioma
Pedodontics
Answer: 1
A mucocele is a common, benign lesion that occurs due to the blockage or rupture of a salivary gland duct, leading to the accumulation of mucous. In children, they often appear as dome-shaped, soft, bluish swellings on the lips or oral mucosa. Other options such as hematoma, melanoma, and hemangioma typically present differently and are less likely to occur in this specific context.
Head shape in Down"s syndrome is typically
1) Mesocephalic
2) Dolicocephalic
3) Brachycephalic
4) Acephalic
Pedodontics
Answer: 3
Head shape in Down's syndrome is typically brachycephalic.
Explanation: Down's syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder that can lead to a range of physical and developmental characteristics. One of the common features of individuals with Down's syndrome is a brachycephalic head shape. Brachycephaly is a condition where the head appears relatively broad and short, with the breadth being disproportionately greater than the length. This characteristic is due to the premature fusion of certain skull sutures, which can also result in a flattened facial profile and a shortened neck. While the head shape is not a definitive diagnostic feature, it is often present in those with the condition.
Technique that is best suited for preparing fine and curved canals
1. Step back
2. Step down
3. Crown down
4. Double flare technique
Pedodontics
Answer: 4
The double flare technique is best suited for preparing fine and curved canals.
The major growth sites in mandible are:
1.Anterior surface of ramus
2.Condylar process
3.Anterior part of chin
4. Posterior surface of ramus:
1) 1,2,3
2) 2,4
3) 2,3,4
4) 2,3
Pedodontics Answer: 2
•In two ways the overall pattern of growth of the mandible can be represented .It will depend on the frame of reference if both are correct. The chin moves downward and forward if the cranium is the reference area.
On the other hand, it becomes apparent that the principal sites of growth of the mandible are the posterior surface of the ramus and the condylar and coronoid processes if data from vital staining experiments are examined. Along the anterior part of the mandible there is little change
• The chin is almost inactive as a growth site. As the actual growth occurs at the mandibular condyle and along the posterior surface of the ramus it is translated downward and forward. By periosteal apposition of bone on its posterior surface the body of the mandible grows longer , at the condyle accompanied by surface remodeling while the ramus grows higher by endochondral replacement
• Conceptually,wiht is correct to view the mandible as being translated downward and forward,though at the same time it increases in size by growing upward and backward. As the bone moves downward the translation occurs largely. As the bone moves downward and forward along with the soft tissues in which it is embedded the translation occurs largely
