Metapex is a combination of:

 # Metapex is a combination of: 

A. Calcium hydroxide + ZOE

B. ZOE + Iodoform

C. Calcium hydroxide + Iodoform

D. Calcium hydroxide + GIC

The correct answer is C. Calcium hydroxide + Iodoform.

Metapex = Calcium hydroxide + iodoform 

Vitapex = Calcium hydroxide + iodoform + Silicon based oil (better flow able property) 

• Ideal material for obturating primary teeth = same resorption rate as of primary tooth roots 

• Both Vitapex & metapex has same resorption rate to primary tooth root but due to better flow able property of vitapex its nearly IDEAL and best material for obturation in primary teeth. 

The condylar cartilage in the mandible is held to be a:

# The condylar cartilage in the mandible is held to be a: 

A. Primary cartilage

B. Secondary cartilage

C. Tertiary cartilage

D. Non growing cartilage

The correct answer is B. Secondary cartilage.

Meckel's cartilage is the primary cartilage of mandible. The cartilages at the condyle, coronoid and symphysis are the secondary cartilages. The condylar cartilage is considered as the pacemaker for growth of that bone. Nasal septum is considered as the pacemaker for growth of maxilla. 

In Peck and Peck index, mesiodistal and buccolingual measurements of which of the following tooth is taken:

 # In Peck and Peck index, mesiodistal and buccolingual measurements of which of the following tooth is taken: 

A. Maxillary central incisor 

B. Mandibular central incisor

C. Maxillary premolars 

D. Mandibular molars 

The correct answer is B. Mandibular central incisor.

Peck and Peck index: 

The mandibular incisors in persons with no crowding will have smaller mesiodistal width and large labiolingual width than in persons with incisal crowding.

The proportion of the mesiodistal width of each tooth to the labio lingual thickness is calculated using the formula:

M.D.W./L.L.W x100 

Mean value for lower central incisor should be 88 to 92%. 

Mean value for lower lateral incisor should be 90 to 95% 

If the calculated value is greater than mean value, it indicates that the mesiodistal width is more than labiolingual width and hence proximal stripping is indicated.
