Tradtional essay writing is not as popular as it once was and is cften replaced with short answer questions (SAQs). The advantage of SAQs over essays is that they allow ‘a wider range of topics to be examined ina single paper, anc the merking is cften more objective. They test knowledge recall as well as applicetion of knowledge and Understanding of principles. ‘The questions themselves can take a variety of formats, for example writing notes ‘ona subject, filing in blanks in a paragraph, selecting the appropriate response {rom a ist or one-fine answors. Questions offen have mary interelated parts. SAQs are usually not negatively marked so itis worth attompting all uetions. In most ‘examinations the questions usualy have equal marks alocatac to them unless cthemise stated. This often cives you a clue 2s to how much detail is expected in an ‘answer fora particular question. This book does not include a marking scheme, but ‘most questions ask fora paticular number of responses. ‘The aim of the book i to help candidates assess their knowledge and identfy the areas where they need to read more, as wel as providing valuable examination practice. Its intended to be used as a revision aid for students taking the undergraduate or postgraduate examinations in dentistry, such 2s BDS, IQE and MFDS. Commmon and popular topics have been covered but it was not possible to ‘cover the entire scope of dentistry comprehensively in the book! We hope that you will {ind this book to be helpful anc easy to use. Good luck for the fortheoming exams,i Child Dental Health and Orthodontics http://dentallwcgitaeor a Uespot.com/| CHILD DENTAL HEALTH AND ORTHODONTICS | http://dentalbooks-drbassam.blogspot.com/ 1.1.

A compensating extraction is the extraction of ‘same or adjacent tooth in the opposing arch on the same side, (6) The primary effect of early loss of deciduous teeth in a crowded mouth is localised crowding. The extent will depend on several factors, including the Patient's age, extent of existing crowding and the site of the early tooth loss. in crowding, adjacent teeth will move into the extraction space, hence a centraline shift will occur with the unilateral loss of a deciduous canine. (©) Acentreline shift will occur to a lesser degree with the unilateral loss of @ deciduous frst molar compared with a deciduous canine. (@ The unilateral loss of a canine should be balanced as the correction of a contreline discrepancy is likely to need a fixed appliance and prevention is preferable to dealing with the problem, (6) The premature loss of deciduous second molars is associated with forward ‘migration ofthe frst permanent molars.

The coronal pulp is removed and the remaining Pulp stumps are dressed with formocresol or 15.5% ferric sulphate. This, is usualy a onevisit treatment and the tooth is restored. Non-vital pulpotomy ~ this is usually a two-visit treatment that is carried out when the pulp is non-vital or when there is infection. The coronal pulp is removed and a pledget of cotton woo! with Formocresol or Beectwood creosote is placed in the pulp chamber and sealed for 1-4 weeks. The tooth is restored with a temporary dressing. At the next appointment the cotton wool is removed and the tooth is restored if the symptoms have subsided. Devitalising pulpotomy - this is done when aneesthesia cannot be achioved for a vital pulpotomy. A plodgot of cotton wool with paraformaldehyde paste is sealed into the tooth for 1-4 weeks or an antibiotc/steroid type paste may be used instead for 1-2 weeks. AL the ‘next vist the coronal pulp is removed and the tooth restored as for a vital pulpotomy. Pulpectomy in tis treatment the entire pulpal tissue is removed.
