- 174Which phase of enamel formation is described below? A release of protons is neutralised by bicarbonate secretions from ameloblastsThe maturation phase
Inhibition to the bicarbonate pH moderation system is considered a possible cause of hypomineralised enamel - 175True or False Decreased carbonate during enamel formation has been reported in MIH enamelFalse
However, INCREASED carbonate beyond levels usually found during amelogenesis is associated with MIH enamel - 176Which of the following is NOT considered a cause of MIH during amelogenesis 1. Excess proteinases 2. Apoptosis of ameloblasts 3. Inefficient bicarbonate production by ameloblasts 4. Excess carbonate 5. Failure of tight junctions between ameloblasts 6. Secretion of altered proteins by ameloblasts 7. Excess albumin in enamel matrix1. Excess proteinases

(anaerobic cocci, anaerobic gram-negative bacilli, and anaerobic gram-positive bacilli) - 189What challenges, other than pain, might arise when attempting to probe a tooth associated with a periodontal abscessThe swelling caused by the abscess may close the entrance to the periodontal pocket, making it near impossible to probe
This occlusion of the pocket is how/why exudate accumulates in the area, as, until a fistula forms, it has nowhere to travel - 190Which of the following IS exhibited in a periodontal abscess which has become chronic? a) Extreme pain b) Sensitivity c) Elevation/extrusion of the tooth d) Exudate expressed from gingival margins e) Mobilityc) Elevation/extrusion of the tooth
Every other symptom listed is associated with acute infection.
