1. Which teeth do you perform pulp evaluation on?
a. tooth only
b. tooth and neighboring tooth
c. tooth, neighboring teeth, contralateral tooth
d.
... [Show More] tooth, neighboring teeth, opposing tooth
c. tooth, neighboring teeth, contralateral tooth
2. When testing tooth for cold:
test adjacent teeth, opposing teeth & contralateral teeth.
3. QUESTION: If an apical radiolucency is present for a long time with no symptoms and no sinus tract associated with necrotic pulp, asymptomatic apical periodontitis, Asymp chronic periodontitis
Asymp chronic periodontitis
4. You have a tooth, no pulp, but periapical radiolucency, you do access and find no canal, what do you do?
refer to an endodontist
5. A molar is super-erupted, but has irreversible pulpitis, what do you do? - EXT, just do crown, RCT & Crown
RCT & Crown
6. Case: Patient with tooth that has sensitivity that lingers with thermal test, sinus tract, and positive to percussion, what does the
patient have? Irreversible pulpitis with no acute periapical abscess, Irreversible pulpitis with acute periapical abscess, or reversible pulpitis.
Irreversible pulpitis with acute periapical abscess
7. Prolonged, unstimulated night pain suggests which of the following conditions of the pulp?
A. Pulp necrosis
B. Mild hyperemia
C. Reversible pulpitis
D. No specific condition
A. Pulp necrosis
8. Pulpal pain that only occur at night with no stimulation:
pulpal necrosis
9. Chronic periradicular abscess indicates:
necrotic pulp
10. Thermal test (hot & cold), hot=?, cold=?
indicated pulp vitality, Hot (irrev), cold (rev)
11. Which is incorrect?
Do EPT for traumatic tooth
12. If you have pain, what would be the hardest to anesthetize?
a. Irreversible pulpitis and maxillary
b. Irreversible pulpitis and mandibular
c. Necrotic pulp and maxillary
d. Necrotic pulp and mandibular
b. Irreversible pulpitis and mandibular
hardest to anesthetize: mandibular molars>
premolars> the maxillary molars and premolars> and the mandibular anterior teeth> maxillary anterior teeth.
13. When heat is applied to the tooth, lingering pain for several minutes indicates:
irreversible pulpitis
14. What is diagnosis for lingering pain to cold and sensitivity to percussion?
Irreversible pulpitis & acute periapical abscess
- Usually periodontal abscess is sensitive to percussion, irreversible is usually positive to percussion
15. A tooth is not responsive to cold, not to percussion, and palpation is tender: necrotic pulp and chronic apical periodontitis, irreversible pulpitis and normal apex, (there was not an item saying necrotic pulp and normal apex)
necrotic pulp and chronic apical periodontitis
16. What is test to diagnose chronic periradicular periodontitis?
Percussion
17. EPT test for pulpal:
a. health
b. responsiveness
responsiveness
- EPT tests whether the tooth is responsive or nonresponsive that's it (not pulpal necrosis or how vital the tooth is, etc.): Nerve
- Doesn't tell you about vascularity of the pulp (pulpal diagnosis)
18. EPT does or does not indicate health of the pulp
does not
19. How does a tooth covered with crown react to pulp testing?
Cold is a better test (thermal)
20. How do you differentiate between an endo/perio lesion?
EPT [Show Less]
