Identical twins develop from:

# Identical twins are produced by fertilization of:
A. 1 ovum by 1 sperm
B. 2 ova by 1 sperm
C. 1 ovum by 2 sperms
D. 2 ova by 2 sperms

The correct answer is: A. 1 ovum by 1 sperm

Twins can be either monozygotic ('identical'), meaning that they develop from one zygote, which splits and forms two embryos, or dizygotic ('non-identical' or 'fraternal'), meaning that each twin develops from a separate egg and each egg is fertilized by its own sperm cell.

Children oral cavity wounds causes

# The leading cause of childhood gingivostomatitis in children aged 1 to 3 is:
A. Herpes Simplex
B. Chicken pox
C. Influenza
D. Rubella

The correct answer is A. Herpes simplex

The primary infection (primary herpetic gingivostomatitis) usually occurs in a chlld under ten years of age who has had no contact with the Type I herpes simplex virus and who therefore has no neutralizing antibodies. It may also affect young adults (15-25). Nearly all primary infections are of the subclinical type (they may only have flu- like symptoms) and one or two mild sores in the mouth which go unnoticed by the parents.

In other children, the primary infection may be manifested by acute symptoms (acute herpetic gingivostomatitis). These include fever; irritability; cervical lymphadenopathy; fiery red gingival tissues; and small, yellowish vesicles that rupture and result in painful ulcers on the free and attached mucosa. The most serious potential problem in a child with this infection is dehydration due to the child not wanting to eat or drink because of the pain.

Treatment is supportive and aimed toward the relief of the acute symptoms so that fluid and nutritional intake can be maintained. Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis usually runs a course of 14-20 days and the ulcers heal without scarring.

Remember: Of all of the herpes viruses, herpes simplex viruses 1 and 2 cause manifestations of recurrent infection in otherwise healthy people.

MCQs in Oral Pathology - Diseases of Microbial Origin

# Endotoxin is released from:
A. Candida albicans
B. Streptococcus sanguis
C. Gram negative bacteria
D. Actinomyces viscosus

# All of the following oral conditions can give rise to bacteremias, EXCEPT:
A. Extraction of tooth
B. Periodontitis
C. Endodontic therapy
D. Dentinal caries

# The most common extraoral cause of halitosis is:
A. Indigestion
B. Alcohol intake
C. Chronic sinusitis
D. Diabetes mellitus

# The typical triad of maxillary sinusitis are:
A. Nasal congestion, pathological secretion, Headache
B. Nasal congestion, trismus, epiphora
C. Nasal congestion, maxillary tooth pain, bloody discharge from the sinus
D. Nasal obstruction, headache, ear ache

Leutic Glossitis is caused by:

# Leutic glossitis is  an intraoral manifestation caused by:
A. Mycobacterium tuberculosis
B. Actinomycosis
C. Treponema pallidium
D. Streptococcus

The correct answer is C. Treponema pallidium. 

Leutic glossitis or syphilitic glossitis is atrophic or interstitial glossitis due to tongue involvement by treponema. The importance of leutic glossitis is the chance of undergoing malignant transformation.

Advantage of Digital Radiography

# One advantage of digital radiography is:
A. All the teeth can be in a single film
B.  Highly economical
C. The radiographic images are obtained immediately
D. Pulpal vitality can be accurately assessed

The correct answer is: C. The radiographic images are obtained immediately.

Advantages of digital radiography are:

- direct display of the image which is dynamic rather than static

- less patient exposure due to greater sensitivity

- Elimination of the need of darkroom

Studying the movements of the tongue:

# Which of the following is useful for studying the movements of the tongue?
A. Angiography
B. Arthroscope
C. Fluoroscope
D. Sonography

The correct answer is C. Fluoroscope.

FLUOROSCOPY IS REAL-TIME RADIOGRAPHY
. It allows continuous viewing of a time-varying X-ray image and permits live visual examination of dynamic events.

- Modern fluoroscopy systems use an X-ray image intensifier, which converts the X-ray energy into visible light and is coupled optically to a television camera.

- The fluoroscopic image is viewed on a cathode-ray tube video monitor, located either in the fluoroscopy room beside the patient, or else in a remote location.
