DENTAL ANATOMY & ORAL HISTOLOGY & PATHOLOGY

AND MICROBIOLOGY QUESTIONS
This is to bring in your notice that these questions are prepared by myself after
long study in each subject. No question has been picked from any book/paper if
any question found out resembles with any textbook or multiple choice question
book will be merely a coincidence, for which I m not be held responsible in any
way. Any posted question might have came in previous exams of any university or
any admission exam all over the world which will also regarded as a coincidence. I
have prepared these questions and answers as per my knowledge, in order to
help the students who are going to appear in various dental examinations all over
the world without any remuneration. The answers will be posted on the
subsequent day so that students might spent enough time for analyzing each and
every option.
