Accepted Answer

The face is made up of 14 bones, including two nasal bones, two maxillae, two zygomatic bones, the mandible, two lacrimal bones, two palatine bones, two inferior nasal conchae, and the vomer.

Question 2

What type of tissue forms the gingivae,hard palate,and dorsum of the tongue?&#10;A)Masticatory mucosa&#10;B)Smooth muscle&#10;C)Palatine raphe&#10;D)Incisive papilla

Accepted Answer

Masticatory mucosa is the type of tissue that forms the gingivae, hard palate, and dorsum of the tongue. This type of tissue is characterized by its thickness and keratinized surface, making it durable enough to withstand the trauma associated with mastication and speech. Smooth muscle is not found in these areas, and the palatine raphe and incisive papilla are anatomical features rather than types of tissue.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Cuspids, also known as canines, are teeth that are designed for tearing and grasping food. They have very strong and sharp points, making them ideal for this function. The other options do not have this specific description of having sharp points and being designed for tearing and grasping food.

Question 5

Question 6

The patient tells you she is scheduled for a root canal.You know that the dental term for this procedure is:&#10;A)surgical extraction.&#10;B)endodontic treatment.&#10;C)cast crown restoration.&#10;D)pontic.

Accepted Answer

The dental term for a root canal procedure is endodontic treatment, which involves removing the natural pulp of the tooth and filling it with a synthetic material to preserve the structure and function of the tooth. Surgical extraction (A) involves the complete removal of a tooth including its roots, while cast crown restoration (C) is a type of dental restoration that involves capping a damaged tooth with a crown made of a cast metal or ceramic material. Pontic (D) refers to an artificial tooth used to replace a missing tooth in a dental bridge.

Question 7

You are providing a patient with information on the importance of prompt treatment of dental caries.Which of the following statements by the patient would indicate that more teaching is necessary?&#10;A)&#34;Tooth decay should be stopped before it reaches the pulp and the condition becomes reversible and the tooth dies.&#34;&#10;B)&#34;The problem can be corrected by removing the decay and replacing it with a filling.&#34;&#10;C)&#34;Tooth decay is caused by bacteria,which need to be treated with antibiotics.&#34;&#10;D)&#34;Tooth decay is a progressive disease that can invade the enamel of the tooth.&#34;

Accepted Answer

Tooth decay is caused by bacteria, but antibiotics are not typically used to treat it. More teaching is necessary to explain that removing the decay and replacing it with a filling is the appropriate treatment.

Question 8

Which of the following statements is true?&#10;A)Sterile instrument packages may be opened in the sterilization area for treatment tray assembly,as long as they are placed on trays in the &#34;clean area.&#34;&#10;B)Sterile instrument packages should be opened only in the treatment room in the presence of the patient.&#10;C)Sterile instrument packages may be opened in the sterilization area for treatment tray assembly,as long as an unfolded patient napkin covers the instruments.&#10;D)Sterile instrument packages should be opened only in the treatment room in the presence of the dentist.

Accepted Answer

Sterile instrument packages should be opened only in the treatment room in the presence of the patient to maintain sterility and minimize the risk of contamination. Opening packages in the treatment room just before use ensures that the instruments remain sterile until they are needed.

Question 9

Blood vessels and nerves enter the tooth through the:&#10;A)pulp chamber.&#10;B)apical foramen.&#10;C)mandibular arch.&#10;D)pulp cavity.

Accepted Answer

Blood vessels and nerves enter the tooth through the apical foramen, which is located at the tip of the tooth's root. The pulp chamber and pulp cavity are internal spaces within the tooth that contain pulp tissue, but they do not serve as entry points for blood vessels and nerves. The mandibular arch is a bony structure in the lower jaw that supports the teeth, but it does not play a direct role in the tooth's innervation or blood supply.
