The earliest and most common symptom of acute appendicitis is abdominal pain. This pain often starts around the umbilical area and then migrates to the right lower quadrant of the abdomen. Other symptoms such as fever and vomiting typically occur after the onset of pain.

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.

Explanation: Natural dentition can typically withstand average biting forces of around 600N, which is significantly higher than the 110N that complete dentures can generally handle. Complete dentures rely on muscular and bony support and are limited by the resiliency of the soft tissues in the oral cavity.

The modulus of elasticity of PMMA is approximately 2.4GPa. The hardness is approximately 70KHN. PMMA remains chemically stable up to a temperature of 260 degreeF. The typical tensile strength of PMMA is around 50-70 MPa. Therefore, 20 MPa is the incorrect statement.

The inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) is a common technique used in dentistry to anesthetize the mandibular teeth, including the molars. The nerve exits the mandibular foramen and runs along the mandibular canal before it branches into the incisive and mental nerves. For effective anesthesia, the injection site is typically located between the first and second premolars, aiming towards the medial surface of the ramus of the mandible, and the needle is inserted until it is just inferior to the root apices of these teeth. This position allows the anesthetic solution to reach the nerve as it emerges from the bone and before it gives off its major branches, thus achieving profound anesthesia for the procedure.

Lactic acid, Glucagon, and Epinephrine (generally) tend to increase extracellular potassium. Atropine, a muscarinic acetylcholine receptor antagonist, is associated with a decrease in extracellular K+ levels. The exact effect of these substances can be influenced by dose and physiological state.
