AIIMS MDS ENTRANCE EXAM PAST QUESTIONS NOVEMBER 2009

# Infarction of anterior inferior cerebellar artery may cause damage to: A. Vestibular nuclei B. Pyramidal tract C. Corticospinal tract D. Spinal nucleus of trigeminal nerve # Chief cells are located in gastric gland in the region? A. Fundus B. Isthmus C. Neck D. Equally spread # GALT(Gut associated lymphoid tissue) is primarily located in: A. Submucosa B. Muscularis mucosa C. Serosa D. Lamina propria

# Which factor results in parallax "unsharpness"?

 # Which  factor results in parallax "unsharpness"? a) Quantum mottle. b) Size and number of silver halide grains. c) Object, film, or x-ray source movement. d) Image magnification on double-emulsion film. The correct answer is D. Image magnification on double emulsion film. Quantum mottle is caused by a fluctuation in the number of photons absorbed by the fast film-intensifying screen combination. Object, film, or x-ray source movement can all cause image "unsharpness" that appears blurry. The size and number of silver halide grains contribute to image receptor blurring. Parallax "unsharpness" occurs because the double-emulsion film records a slight magnification of the image on the side of the film away from the x-ray source. Click here for more MCQs

PMA index is used to record the status of:

 # PMA index is used to record the status of: A. Gingival diseases B. Carious teeth C. Root caries D. Periodontal disease The correct answer is A. Gingival diseases. The first dental index, developed by Schour and Massler, was known as a Papilla, Marginal gingiva and Attached gingiva (PMA) Index. Each of those areas was examined and scored from 0 to 5, depending on the severity of inflammation. The PMA Index, largely of historic interest now, was primarily used in surveys of acute gingivitis. The status of a patient’s periodontal health or disease is commonly measured by an index in private practices. CLICK HERE FOR MORE MCQs

Prosthesis in which a pontic is attached to a single side retainer via connector is called

 # Prosthesis in which a pontic is attached to a single side retainer via connector is called as: A. Removable fixed partial denture B. Removable partial denture C. Fixed partial denture D. Cantilever fixed partial denture The correct answer is D. Cantilever fixed partial denture. A cantilever fixed partial denture is one that has an abutment or abutments at one end only, with the other end of the pontic remaining unattached. This is a potentially destructive design with the lever arm created by the pontic, and it is frequently misused. Prospective abutment teeth for cantilever fixed partial dentures should be evaluated with an eye toward lengthy roots with a favorable configuration, long clinical crowns, good crown-root ratios, and healthy periodontium. Generally, cantilever fixed partial dentures should replace only one tooth and have at least two abutments. A cantilever can be used for replacing a maxillary lateral incisor. There should be no occlusal contact on the pontic in ei...

Prosthodontics MCQs - Which of the following is not used with the surveyor?

 # Which of the following is not used with the surveyor? A. Incisal guide pin B. Analyzing rod C. Carbon marker D. Wax trimmer The correct answer is: A. Incisal guide pin. Incisal guide pin is used with an articulator not a surveyor. Surveying tools- These are tools attached the the madrel of the surveying arm and are used for surveying. They are of different types, e.g. analyzing rod, carbon marker, wax knife and undercut gauges.  Analyzing rod- First tool to be used in surveying. It is more of a diagnostic survey tool. It helps to analyze the location of the height of contours, the presence and absence of favorable and unfavorable undercuts and is used to determine the parallelism of one surface to another. It also helps to arbitrarily determine the path of insertion.  Carbon marker- The resultant line formed by the scribe (carbon marker) is known as a survey line. These survey lines help us in positioning the various component parts of a removable partial denture (RPD)...
