MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Some dental materials may be therapeutic in small quantities or if in contact with tissues for a
short period of time. Dental materials may be irritating or toxic with longer or larger doses.
a. Both statements are true.
b. Both statements are false.
c. The first statement is true, and the second statement is false.
d. The first statement is false, and the second statement is true.
ANS: A
Some dental materials may be therapeutic in small quantities or if in contact with tissues for a
short period of time but also may be irritating or toxic with longer or larger doses. Topical
fluoride is of great benefit when used according to manufacturers’ directions but can be
irritating to soft tissues and can even excessively etch enamel if used improperly.
2. Normal masticatory forces on the occlusal surfaces of molar teeth can increase to as much as
_____ pounds per square inch on a cusp tip.
a. 280
b. 1000
c. 10,000
d. 28,000
ANS: D
Normal masticatory forces on the occlusal surfaces of molar teeth can increase to as much as
28,000 pounds per square inch on a cusp tip. Normal masticatory forces on the occlusal
surfaces of molar teeth average 90 to 200 pounds. Masticatory forces decrease in incisor areas
and can increase during bruxing or clenching.
3. _____ force is applied when two surfaces slide against each other in opposite directions.
a. Compressive
b. Shearing
c. Tensile
d. Axial
ANS: B
Shearing force is applied when two surfaces slide against each other or in a twisting or
rotating motion. An incisor used for cutting is an example of shearing forces.
4. Stress is the amount of force exerted from within an object, and _____ is the amount of
change that the force has produced.
a. strain
b. tension
5. Which of the following materials has the highest ultimate compressive strength (lbs/in2)?
a. Acrylic
b. Porcelain
c. Amalgam
d. Composite resins
ANS: C
Amalgam has the highest ultimate compressive strength (45,000 to 64,000 lbs/in2), followed
by composite resins (30,000 to 60,000 lbs/in2), porcelain (21,000 lbs/in2), and acrylic (11,000
lbs/in2). Amalgam and composite resins more closely replicate enamel in compressive
strength, but porcelain falls short. Porcelain is more likely to fracture under compressive
stresses.

7. The normal resting pH of saliva ranges from 6.2 to _____, which is neutral.
a. 1
b. 6.6
c. 7
d. 14
ANS: C
The normal resting pH of saliva ranges from 6.2 to 7, which is neutral. It can fluctuate higher
or lower by several points during the course of a day. Many materials that would be
compatible in a neutral environment will not be compatible in an acidic one.
REF: p. 11 TOP: Moisture and Acid Levels
8. The staining of resins and acrylics from repeated exposure to coffee, tea, and other dyed
beverages is due to:
a. compressive forces.
b. water sorption.
c. galvanism.
d. tarnish.
ANS: B
The staining of resins and acrylics from repeated exposure to coffee, tea, and other dyed
beverages is due to water sorption. Water sorption is the ability to absorb moisture. Dentures,
when placed in a glass of water, will take up the liquid and become slightly larger. Some
acrylics will absorb both odors and tastes from foods.
10. Which of the following has been suggested to delay formation of surface tarnish on dental
amalgams?
a. Incremental addition
b. Polishing
c. Use of non–copper-containing dental amalgam
d. Undercondensation
ANS: B
Polishing of amalgams to produce a smooth surface has been recommended to help delay the
process of surface tarnish. Surface tarnish, discoloration due to oxidation of the metal’s
surface, can accelerate in crevices between a tooth and restoration and on rough surfaces.
