1. Sickle cell anaemia
2. Ameloblastoma
3. Osteogenic sarcoma

An intraoral periapical X-ray is taken for evaluation of impacted third molar. Another X-ray is taken with downward angulation to first one. If third molar is lingual impaction it will appear to
1. Move downward in relation to inferior alveolar canal
2. Move upward in relation to inferior alveolar canal
3. Be stable in relation to inferior alveolar canal
4. None of the above
Radiology
Answer: 1
If a third molar is lingually impacted, it will appear to move downward in relation to the inferior alveolar canal when taking a second X-ray with downward angulation.

1. Sinuses
2. Zygomatic fractures
3. Mandibular fractures
4. Maxillary fractures
Radiology
Answer: 3
Submentovertex view is best useful for mandibular fractures.
Salt-paper appearance is seen in intraoral periapical radiograph of
1) Thalassaemia
2) Sjogren"s syndrome
3) Periodontal abscess
4) Osteoporosis
Radiology
Answer: 1
The "salt-paper" appearance in intraoral periapical radiographs is often associated with thalassemia due to changes in the bone structure.
In thalassaemia, particularly in the case of thalassaemia major, there can be
changes in the bone structure due to marrow hyperplasia and compensatory
changes. This can lead to a "salt-and-pepper" or "salt-paper" appearance on
radiographs, which is characterized by a mottled pattern of radiolucency and
radiopacity in the bones, including the jaw.
Osteoporosis can lead to generalized bone loss and may show decreased bone
density on radiographs
A periodontal abscess typically presents as a localized radiolucency around
the root of a tooth on radiographs
Sjogren's syndrome primarily affects the salivary and lacrimal glands,
leading to dry mouth and dry eyes
Lateral cephalogram is used for all of the following except
1. To assess where excessive growth is occuring
2. To compare the growth patterns with previous radiograph
3. To assess level of posterior alveolar bone
4. To assess soft tissue profile
Radiology
Answer: 3
A lateral cephalogram is used to assess the level of posterior alveolar bone.

2. Fracture of condyle
3. Ankylosis
4. Hyperplasia
Radiology
Answer: 1
Arthroscopy of TMJ is useful in internal derangement.
