#MCQ 21 - During the Master cone fitting procedure in the endodontic treatment of a patient's tooth, the patient says he has a "sharp shooting pain in the same tooth that ached earlier". What should be your response and why?

#MCQ 21- During the Master cone fitting procedure in the endodontic treatment of a patient's tooth, the patient says he has a "sharp shooting pain in the same tooth that ached earlier". What should be your response and why?

A. Continue with obturation, the anesthetic is simply wearing off
B. Continue with obturation, this is a normal complaint during this part of the procedure
C. Consider looking for an accessory canal and re-filing, there is likely pulpal tissue that has not been properly debrided
D. Irrigate further, the Sodium Hypochlorite should take care of this problem
E. Temporize the tooth and obturate at a later date

Answer: C. Consider looking for an accessory canal and re-filing, there is likely pulpal tissue that has not been properly debrided

This indicates inadequate debridement, as a pulpless tooth should not respond to any stimuli.
The most important consideration before filling a root canal is proper cleaning (debridement)and shaping (instrumenting) of the canal. Once the canal is obturated, any organisms
that have entered the periapical tissues from the canal are eliminated by the natural defenses
of the body.

Dentosphere Gems - Must Know Points in Oral Surgery

MOST COMMON:

1. The most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency due to decreased intake of essential compounds, viz. vitamin B1, B6, B12, iron, vitamin C.

2. The most commonly used Bard Parker Blade handle in oral surgery is no. 3.

3. Lagenbeck's retractor is the most commonly used retractor in oral surgery.

4. There are three work principles applicable to the elevators, viz. Lever principle, Wedge principle and Wheel and axle principle. Lever principle is the most commonly used principle.

5. The half circle curved needles are the most commonly used needles in oral surgical procedures.

6. Vicryl plus antibacterial suture is the world’s first and only antibacterial suture, which offers protection against bacterial colonization of the suture. It contains Triclosan which is a broad spectrum antibacterial agent and effective against the most common pathogens associated with surgical site infections.

7. Interrupted Suture is the most commonly used Suture.

8. Tetracyclines are the most common antibiotics responsible for causing superinfection, because they cause marked suppression of the normal intestinal flora.

9. The dentigerous cyst is the most common type of developmental odontogenic cyst, making up about 20 percent of all epithelium lined cysts of the jaws.

#MCQ 20 - Gingival Extension for a restoration should be:

#20 - Gingival Extension for a restoration should be:
A. At the gingival crest
B. At least 1 mm above the alveolar crest
C. At least 3 mm above the alveolar crest
D. Doesn't have any relation with the alveolar crest height

Answer: C. At least 3 mm above the alveolar crest
In a proper restoration, gingival margin of restoration should be at least 1 mm occlusal to the free marginal gingiva. Also, the free gingiva is approximately 2 mm coronal to the alveolar crest. So, margin of restoration should be 2mm (biological width) + 1 mm (distance away from free gingival margin) = 3 mm away from the alveolar crest.
