ProsthodonticsExplanation:
Pure hinge-like opening and closing movement: The range of pure rotation in
the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) was determined to be up to 15–20 mm in the
1960s. However, recent research suggests that pure rotational movement may not
occur.
Protrusive movement: The normal range of motion for protrusive movement is
8–12 mm.
Left lateral movement: The normal range of motion for left lateral movement
is 8–12 mm. The normal range of motion for mouth opening is 35–60 mm.
The average immediate Bennett shift was found to be 1.05 mm on the left
side and 1.12 mm on the right side when firm guidance was used.

Oral and Maxillofacial SurgeryPolydioxanone (PDS) is designed to retain a significant amount of its tensile strength for an extended period, making it ideal for situations where prolonged wound support is necessary.

Prosthodontics
Selective grinding is a technique used to adjust the occlusion of complete dentures. It is best performed after the dentures have been processed and rearticulated with a new series of jaw relations to ensure that the occlusion is accurate and reflects the patient's current jaw relationship. This allows for more precise adjustments to be made, as the original records may not accurately represent the current occlusal relationship after processing.

AnatomyFacial Artery:
1: True, it has cervical and facial portions.
2: True, it arises from the external carotid artery above the lingual artery.
3: True, it crosses the mandible at the anterior edge of the masseter muscle.
4: False, the cervical portion lies beneath the platysma,
but the facial portion does not exactly lie "superficial in the carotid
triangle"; rather, the facial artery travels more superficially than the
cervical part in its course.

EndodonticsOsteogenesis in periapical lesions of average size generally requires a
significant amount of time, typically falling within the range of 6-12 months.
This period allows for the complete healing of bone tissue around the root apex.
