 # The bone of tooth socket is called: A. Alveolar process B. Alveolus C. Gomphosis D. Cancellous bone The correct answer is A. Alveolar process. The bone of the tooth socket is called the Alveolar process. Here’s a brief explanation of the terms: Alveolar process: The bony ridge in the jaw that contains the sockets (alveoli) for the teeth. Alveolus: Refers specifically to the individual tooth socket itself. Gomphosis: The fibrous joint between a tooth and its socket. Cancellous bone: A type of bone tissue that is spongy and found within the alveolar process, but it is not specifically the term for the socket. So the correct answer is A. Alveolar process.

 # Number of surfaces of an anterior tooth is: A. 5 B. 3 C. 4 D. 6 The correct answer is C. 4. The number of surfaces of an anterior tooth is typically 4. Anterior teeth, which include incisors and canines, generally have the following surfaces: Facial (or Labial): The surface facing the lips. Lingual: The surface facing the tongue. Mesial: The surface closest to the midline of the dental arch. Distal: The surface farthest from the midline. Therefore, the correct answer is C. 4.

 # Universal tooth numbering system was given by: A. ADA in 1968 B. WHO adopted C. Adolph Zsigmondy D. Palmer The correct answer is A. ADA in 1968. The Universal Tooth Numbering System, developed by the American Dental Association (ADA) in 1968, is a standardized method used primarily in the United States for identifying and labeling teeth. Here’s a detailed breakdown of its components and significance: Overview of the System Numbering Convention: The system assigns a unique number to each tooth, starting from the upper right third molar (tooth #1) and moving across the upper arch to the upper left third molar (tooth #16). The numbering then continues with the lower left third molar (tooth #17) and goes across the lower arch to the lower right third molar (tooth #32). This creates a simple, sequential numbering system that allows for easy identification of each tooth. Tooth Types: The system includes all types of teeth: incisors, canines, premolars, and molars. For example, incisor...
