A. 1,2,3
B. 1 and 3
C. 2 and 4
D. 4 only
E. All of the above
Answer: D- 4 only
Explanation: About 98 % of children at ages 6 yrs old have
median maxillary diastema. Spaces tend to close as
permanent canine erupts. The permanent canine erupts at
age 11. However if oral habits such as thumbsucking is
involved, its better to refer patient to orthodontist for
consultation to minimize further damage as the child is at the
age that its crucial to get rid of the bad oral habits.

1. An 8 yrs old boy has lost tooth 11. The lateral incisor have partially erupted. You would expect that
the tooth 12 will erupt
A. without encrouching upon the space,
B. ecrouching upon the central incisor space.
C. and the left central incisor will encrouch upon the space.
D. B and C.
Answer: C. delayed
Explanation: Usually when the primary
tooth loss prematurely, the successor
tooth takes longer to erupt, this is because
the adult teeth has no more guiding path
for eruption. The decidous tooth is a
guidline for the the permanent dentition
path of eruption by resorbing the root
apex slowly.
Page 49
5. In a normally developing occlusion, spaces between decidous or permanent
incisor are called.
A. physiological spaces
B. primate space
C. Leeway space
D. Freeway space
Answer: A 1,2,3
Explanation: The maxilla develops entirely by intra
membranous ossification. Sutural connective tissue
proliferation; ossifications, surface
apposition, resorption, and translation are
mechanism for maxillary growth. The maxilla is
related to the cranium at least partially by the
frontomaxillary suture, the zygomaticomaxillary
suture, zygomaticotemporal suture and
pterygopalatine suture.

1. If a patient loses a maxillary first permanent molar before the age of 10 the
A premolar drifts distally
B maxillary second molar erupts and moves forward
C. opposing tooth erupts into the space created
D. overbite increases
Answer : A 1 only
A. Concave
B. Convex
C. either concave or convex
D. Straight
Answer: B- convex
Answer: C 3 an 5
Explanation:
Uses of cervical extra oral anchorage :
-Restrict maxillary growth
-Retract maxillary dentition
- Camouflage by extraction of upper premolars
-Advance the mandible
-Advance mandibular dentition
7. The root of the first permanent molar should be completely formed by the age of
A. 6 years
B. 7 years
C. 9 years
D. 11 years
E. 13 years
A. 1,2,3
B. 1 and 3
C. 2 and 4
D. 4 only
E. all of the above
Answer: A 1 and 2
Explanation:
Marginal Gingivitis an inflammation of the gingivae localized to the marginal gingivae and
interdental papillae Right answer.
Gingival fibrosis -Gingival enlargement may be caused by a multitude of causes. The most
common is chronic inflammatory gingival enlargement, when the gingivae are soft and
discolored. This is caused by tissue edema and infective cellular infiltration caused by
prolonged exposure to bacterial plaque, and is treated with
conventional periodontal treatment, such as scaling and root planing right answer .
Juvenile periodontitis occurs in children and young adults and can be classified into:
periodontitis which occurs in otherwise healthy individuals, and periodontitis which occurs in
juveniles with systemic disease. NOT the right answer
Acute periodontitis is a sharply localized, acute inflammatory process involving the
interproximal and marginal areas of two or more adjacent teeth, characterized by severe
pain, purulent exudate from edematous inflamed gingivae, general malaise, fever, and
sequestration of the crestal aspects of the alveolar process. It is now considered a stage of
periodontal disease. Not the right answer
Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG) is a condition affecting the gums that is caused by a
bacterial infection. It is a form of periodontal (gum) disease. But unlike other forms, it
typically develops quickly and causes moderate to severe pain.- Not the right answer.
7. The term Dental Age refers to the
A. State of dental maturation
B. Eruption time of given tooth
C. number of year elapse since a given tooth erupted
D. None of the above.
Answer: A. and C
Explanation:
The most frequent cause of malocclusion is -
Hereditary causes related with the development of
jaws and teeth
Tooth loss related with non hereditary factors such
as diseases or trauma
Oral habits that affect the teeth and jaws health-
like thumbsucking.
5. Orthodontic tooth movement in an adolescent Is easier than an adult because of
A. difference in tissue/bone reaction
B. difference in growth
C. difference in cooperation
D. all of the above
Answer: A. Thumbsucking
Answer:Not sure
Needs help with this one
8. The maxillary incisor in Angles class II Division 2 malocclusion are in
A. linguoversion
B. labioversion
C. infraversion

lingually.

6. In treatment of an Angle Class II Div 2 the Frankel functional regulator is designed
to perform all the following except
A . Increase vertical dimension
B. reposition the mandible
C. retract the maxillary molars
D. expand the dental arches
Answer: A 1,2,3
Explanation: Everything but Median
palatine suture. Growth sutures are the
following for the maxilla:
1. Frontonasal suture
2. Frontomaxillary suture
3. Zygomatico Temporal suture
4. Zygomatico maxillary suture
5. Pterygopalatine suture
This sutures are oblique and more or less parallel with each other. The
growth in these areas would serve to move maxilla downward and forward.

1. if a flush terminal plane convers to a mesial step terminal plane (Class I occlusion) without
orthodontic intervention, it is primarily a result of
A. the absence of mandibular primate space.
B. maxillary forward growth exceeding mandibular forward growth
C. mesial movement of the mandibular first permanent molars following exfoliation of the mandibular
second primary molars.
D. distal movement of the maxillary first permanent molars following eruption of the maxillary second
bicuspids.
Answer: C
Explanation: Curve of wilson is the
curvature of the cusps, as seen from the
front view. The curve in the mandibular
arch is concave, whereas the one in the
maxillary arch is convex.
