PGCEE MDS 2022: Histochemical demonstration of glycogen in the cells can help in the diagnosis of:

 # Histochemical demonstration of glycogen in the cells can help in the diagnosis of:

a) Malignant melanoma 

b) Squamous cell carcinoma

c) Kaposi's sarcoma 

d) Ewing's sarcoma

The correct answer is D. Ewing's sarcoma.

Ewing's sarcoma also called round cell sarcoma, seen in children and young adults, is characterized by painful swelling of the involved bone, facial neuralgia and lip paresthesia. It produces an irregular diffuse radiolucency, onion-skin and sun ray appearance of bone. Histologically, the neoplasm is composed of solid sheets of round cells, arranged in Filigree pattern. Intracytoplasmic glycogen of these cells helps in the differentiation from reticulum cell sarcoma.

PGCEE MDS 2022: Degree of color saturation is called:

PGCEE MDS 2022 

# Degree of color saturation is called:

A. Hue

B. Value

C. Chroma

D. Translucency

The correct answer is C. Chroma.

Hue is the specific color produced by a specific wavelength of light. It describes the dominant color of an object, for example, red, green, or blue.

Value (Brilliance) is the lightness or darkness of an object. Lighter-shaded objects are with the highest value and dark-shaded objects are with a lower value.

Saturation (Chroma) is the amount of color per unit area of an object. Chroma represents the degree of saturation of a particular hue. For example, some teeth appear more yellow than others.

Translucency is the property of an object that permits the passage of light through it but does not give any distinguishable image.

Metamerism: Objects that appear to be color matched under one type of light may appear different

under another light source. This phenomenon is called metamerism.

PGCEE MDS 2022: Poor accessibility is the main disadvantage of which flap?

# Poor accessibility is the main disadvantage of which flap?

a) Trapezoid

b) Envelope

c) Semilunar

d) Partial thickness flap

The correct answer is C. Semilunar flap.

Basic requirements of a flap:

• Flap must be designed to provide adequate exposure to the surgical area.

• Flap must have a broad base and good vascular supply.

• When placed back, the flap should rest on healthy bone.

Envelop flap: Incision along the free gingival margin with no vertical incision

A two-sided triangular flap is an envelop flap with a releasing incision on one side.

A three-sided rhomboid flap is a modification of a two-sided flap with the addition of a second vertical incision.

Semilunar flap: is designed when the periapical area is required to be exposed. It is always kept 5 mm away from the gingival margin.
