The following is least toxic of all local anaesthetics
1. Tetracaine
2. Mepivacaine
3. Prilocaine
4. 2-Chloroprocaine
Oral Surgery

The following is least toxic of all local anaesthetics: 2-Chloroprocaine.
The longest acting, most potent and most toxic LA is
1) Lidocaine
2) Dibucaine
3) Bupivacaine
4) Tetracaine
Oral Surgery
Answer: 2
Dibucaine (cinchocaine) is a highly potent and long-acting local anesthetic with high toxicity. It is often used in topical applications but is avoided for systemic use due to its high risk of adverse effects compared to alternatives like bupivacaine.
Patients with end-stage renal disease are of increased risk when undergoing extraction of teeth because they
1. Have an increased tendency to bleed
2. Are susceptible to infections
3. Are often on steroid therapy
4. All of the above
Oral Surgery
Answer: 4
Patients with end-stage renal disease are at increased risk during tooth
extraction due to several factors. They often have an increased tendency to
bleed due to platelet dysfunction and are susceptible to infections due to
compromised immunity. Additionally, they are often on steroid therapy, which can
affect wound healing and increase the risk of infection.
Of the following which tooth is most difficult to anaesthetize by infiltration technique alone
1. Maxillary canine
2. Macillary central incisors
3. Maxillary first molar
4. Maxillary first premolar
Oral Surgery
Answer: 3
Of the following, the maxillary first molar is the most difficult to anaesthetize by infiltration technique alone.
A contraindication to local infiltration technique
1. Hypertension
2. Diabetic patient in whom urine sugar present
3. Infection in the arch
4. Kidney problems
Oral Surgery
Answer: 3
Local infiltration is a safe and effective technique for achieving anesthesia in
most situations. However, it is contraindicated in the presence of infection in
the arch because it can spread the infection further or lead to complications
like an abscess. Hypertension and kidney problems are not direct
contraindications to local anesthesia, but they may require careful monitoring
of the patient's condition. Diabetes with urine sugar present does not directly
contraindicate the use of local anesthetics unless there are severe
complications or neuropathy involved.
In gate control theory of pain, pain is mainly modulated by
1. Substantia gelatinosa
2. B fibers
3. C fibers
4. Transmission system
Oral Surgery
Answer: 1
In gate control theory of pain, pain is mainly modulated by the substantia gelatinosa.
Subjective symptom of buccal nerve block is
1. Numbness and tingling sensation of the buccal mucosa
2. Numbness of the lingual mucosa near molars
3. No subjective symptoms
4. A & B
Oral Surgery
Answer: 3
While the buccal nerve block is used to anesthetize the buccal mucosa and buccal
gingival tissues of the maxillary molars, the actual technique does not
typically produce any specific subjective symptoms in the patient other than the
sensation of the needle. The patient may feel numbness if the anesthetic
solution is inadvertently placed in the oral mucosa or if the block is done
improperly.
