Nerve of pterygoid canal is also known as:

 # Nerve of pterygoid canal is also known as:

A. Vidian nerve

B. Radial nerve

C. Musician’s nerve

D. None of the above

The correct answer is a. Vidian nerve.

The vidian nerve (also known as the nerve of the pterygoid canal) is formed by the union of the deep and greater petrosal nerves, the latter being a branch of the facial nerve at the level of the geniculate ganglion.

The nerve of the pterygoid canal (Vidian nerve) is formed by the junction of the greater petrosal nerve and deep petrosal nerve, which passes from the foramen lacerum to the pterygopalatine fossa through the pterygoid canal.

Proximal segment of mandibular angle fracture

 # The proximal segment of mandibular angle fracture usually displaced in which direction ?

a. Anterior and superior

b. Posterior and inferior

c. Inferior only

d. Posterior and superior

The correct answer is A. Anterior and superior.

Fractures of angle of mandible are influenced by the pull of medial pterygoid, masseter and temporalis

muscles, which displace the ramus in superior and anterior direction. This is a liorizontally unfavorable

fracture.

Golden period for treatment of open wound is?

# Golden period for treatment of open wound is? 

A. 2 hrs 

B. 4 hrs

C. 6 hrs 

D. 8 hrs 

The correct answer is B. 4 hours.

In the first 4 hours after a breach in an epithelial surface and underlying connective tissues, there is delay in the mobilisation of host defences. This period is called 'decisive period' and during this period bacterial colonisation and established infection can begin. It is logical that prophylactic antibiotics will be most effective during this time.

Tessier classification is used for

 

 # Tessier classification used for 

A. Isolated cleft palate 

B. Facial cleft 

C. TMJ internal disorder 

D. White lesion of oral mucosa 

The correct answer is B. Facial cleft.

Dr. paul Tessier, the father of the field of craniofacial surgery, developed a classification system for craniofacial clefts that is the most widely used of those available today.

Rhytidectomy is associated with which nerve involvement?

 # Rhytidectomy is associated with which nerve involvement? 

A. Great auricular nerve 

B. Auriculotemporal nerve 

C. Marginal mandibular nerve 

D. Sympathetic plexus around ICA 

The correct answer is A. Greater auricular nerve.

Rhytidectomy is a surgical procedure meant to counteract the effects of time on the aging face. In the rhytidectomy procedure (also known as a “face-lift”), the tissues under the skin are tightened and excess facial and neck skin are excised. Rhytidectomy literally means wrinkle (rhytid-) removal (-ectomy).

The great auricular nerve, which supplies sensation to the skin of the ear and nearby skin is the most commonly injured in a rhytidectomy.

The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true:

 # The probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true:

A. Type 1 error

B. Type 2 error

C. Power of a statistical test

D. Level of significance

The correct answer is A. Type I error.

In statistical hypothesis testing, a type I error is the mistaken rejection of an actually true null hypothesis (also known as a "false positive" finding or conclusion; example: "an innocent person is convicted"), while a type II error is the failure to reject a null hypothesis that is actually false (also known as a "false negative" finding or conclusion; example: "a guilty person is not convicted"). Much of statistical theory revolves around the minimization of one or both of these errors, though the complete elimination of either is a statistical impossibility if the outcome is not determined by a known, observable causal process. By selecting a low threshold (cut-off) value and modifying the alpha (α) level, the quality of the hypothesis test can be increased. The knowledge of type I errors and type II errors is widely used in medical science, biometrics and computer science.

The immunoglobulin which is produced first by the fetus in response to infection is:

#  The immunoglobulin which is produced first by the fetus in response to infection is:

A. IgG

B. IgA

C. IgM

D. IgD

The correct answer is C. IgM.

Phylogenetically, IgM is the oldest immunoglobulin class. It is also the earliest immunoglobulin to be synthesized by the fetus beginning by about 20 weeks of age. As it is not transported across the placenta, the presence of IgM in the fetus or newborn indicates intrauterine infection and its detection is useful in the diagnosis of congenital infections such as syphilis, rubella, HIV infection and toxoplasmosis.
