191. Differentiate apical pulpitis from tooth vs perio origin – pulp test
192. To differentiate between irreversible and reversible-- thermal test – heat test to be specific
193. To diff between acute and chronic apical periodontitis—percussion
194. Between necrosis and vital pulp--EPT
for board exam...chronic is not T.O.P positive
195. Acute and chronic both will be percussion positive

200. Periodontal abscess. Lateral percussion
201. Periodontal or endodontic in origin...differentiate by thermal or ept
And for non-metal crown.... first is thermal. But test fails then we do test cavity (last resort)
Cavity test we do only as a last option when we are sure that the pulp is necrotic
I think necrosis sometimes respond to hot by stimulation of c fibres
nonvital is apexification
vital is apexogenesis
yes a large carious exposure means the pulp can’t be saved so then apexification
202. Thermal Tests To determine sensitivity to thermal changes.
1. Cold Test Response to cold indicates a vital pulp, regardless of whether that pulp is normal or abnormal.
2. Heat Test Not a test of Pulp Vitality. An abnormal response to heat usually indicates presence of Pulpal or
Periapical Disorder requiring endodontic treatment.
When a reaction to cold occurs, patient can easily point to the painful tooth. A heat reaction can be localized
or diffuse and at times related to different site.
But a positive response to application of heat on a single tooth will be localized, painful and momentarily
delayed.
Thermal test results should be correlated with results of other tests.
Cold test is the correct answer of s asking us to choose between two.

504. Know these medicines…. bisphosphonates, Statin & pril type of medicines, methadone, anti-anxiety drugs,
buspirone hcl (buspirone hydrochloride tablets, USP) is an antianxiety agent that is not chemically or
pharmacologically related to the benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or other sedative/anxiolytic drugs) and
clopidogrel (Blood thinner It can prevent stroke, heart attack, and other heart problems)
Bisphosphonates are a class of drugs that prevent the loss of bone mass, used to treat osteoporosis and

similar diseases. They are the most commonly prescribed drugs used to treat osteoporosis. They are called
bisphosphonates because they have two phosphonate groups.
Evidence shows that they reduce the risk of fracture in post-menopausal women with osteoporosis.
Bone undergoes constant turnover and is kept in balance (homeostasis) by osteoblasts creating bone and
osteoclasts destroying bone. Bisphosphonates inhibit the digestion of bone by encouraging osteoclasts to
undergo apoptosis, or cell death, thereby slowing bone loss.
The uses of bisphosphonates include the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis, Paget's disease of bone,
bone metastasis (with or without hypercalcemia), multiple myeloma, primary hyperparathyroidism,
osteogenesis imperfecta, fibrous dysplasia, and other conditions that exhibit bone fragility. Drugs in
class: Alendronic acid, Zoledronic acid, Risedronic acid,Ibandronic acid, Pamidronic acid, Etidronic
acid, Clodronic acid,Neridronic acid, Risedronate Sodium, Tiludronic acid, Pamidronate
Disodium, Ibandronate Sodium, Etidronate Disodium
Statins (or HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors) are a class of lipid-lowering medications that inhibit the enzyme
HMG-CoA reductase which plays a central role in the production of cholesterol. High cholesterol levels have
been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD). Statins have been found to reduce cardiovascular disease
and mortality in those who are at high risk. The evidence is strong that statins are effective for treating CVD
in the early stages of a disease (secondary prevention) and in those at elevated risk but without CVD (primary
prevention). Side effects of statins include muscle pain, increased risk of diabetes mellitus, and abnormalities
in liver enzyme tests. Additionally, they have rare but severe adverse effects, particularly muscle damage.
Drugs in this class Atorvastatin, Simvastatin, Rosuvastatin , Pravastatin ,Lovastatin ,Fluvastatin ,Pitavastatin
,Ezetimibe/simvastatin Cerivastatin, Mevastatin , Niacin/simvastatin , Atorvastatin/amlodipine
,Niacin/lovastatin , Simvastatin/sitagliptin
An angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor (ACE inhibitor) is a pharmaceutical drug used primarily for the
treatment of hypertension (elevated blood pressure) and congestive heart failure.
This group of drugs cause relaxation of blood vessels, as well as a decreased blood volume, which leads to
lower blood pressure and decreased oxygen demand from the heart. They inhibit the angiotensin-converting
enzyme, an important component of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
Frequently prescribed ACE inhibitors include perindopril, captopril, enalapril, lisinopril, and ramipril.

time of preparation,44 depth of the osteotomy,37,30,41,45 pressure on the drill,40 drill speed,39,46,47 and
variation in cortical thickness.35,48 Bone cell survival is very susceptible to heat. Eriksson has demonstrated
that in rabbit, bone temperature as low as 3° C above normal (40° C) can cause bone cell necrosis.49
Therefore a conscious effort is made to control temperature elevation every time a rotary instrument is
placed in contact with bone. At least 50 mL/min of cooled irrigation, such as sterile physiologic saline, is used
as a profuse irrigant and is a critical element to reduce heat.35-37,50 Distilled water should not be used, as
rapid cell death may occur in this medium.51 Intravenous dextrose solution (D5W) also may be used, with
the clinical advantage of decreasing hand piece breakdown occurring from the effects of the salt in a saline
solution, although the surgical gloves often feel sticky near the conclusion of the surgery
591. Mental foramen denture impingement - tingling/burning sensation
592. Can some explain the studies ?!
-cross sectional
-cohort
-case control
-clinical trial
There are three main types of studies.

First is descriptive study which is cross section study. This type is used for prevalence and incidence. There is
no correlation in these studies. It just gives an idea about the distribution of disease in community. For
example, you went to nursing facility and you want to know who has peptic ulcer at that moment; like 20%
of residents there have peptic ulcer. Also you can know the percentage of risk factors as smoking, spicy food,
alcohol. But the most important point is you cannot get any cause/effect relationship.

Second type is analytical studies which compose mainly case-control study and cohort study. These types of
studies are for cause/effect relationship and might be retrospective and prospective. In these studies, we
have two factors ( exposure as smoking, and effect as lung cancer for example).
In case-control, we determine the effect and went back to their charts to see what exposures they have. For
example, we went to the hospital and see who have lung cancer in 2015. Then we go back to patient charts
from 2015 back to 2005 and see who were smoker, asbestos exposed, or other risk factors.
for cohort study, we have retrospective and prospective. But here we determine the exposure like smoking
and see who developed lung cancer.
In retrospective cohort, we are in 2015 but we went to the charts in 2000 and see who were smoker and
then follow them from 2000 to 2010, and see who developed lung cancer
in prospective cohort, we are in 2015 and see who are smoker now and follow them from 2015 to 2025 and
see who will develop lung cancer in the future.
third type is experimental study which randomized clinical trials. It is the highest level of evidence for cause/
effect
Descriptive studies give answers for "what", "when", "where" questions, while analytical studies give
answers for "why", "how" questions. Another thing... Cross-section studies are like a snap-shot in time. Like,
you find out the prevalence of dental caries in the school children in a particular county... on a particular day,
month and year. Also, clinical studies are broadly classified as 1. observational studies, and 2. interventional
studies. Observational studies include cross-sectional, case control, and cohort studies. Basically you do not
make any changes in happenings and just record what you observe. In interventional studies/ clinical trials,
you intervene in experimental group and don't intervene in control group. Clinical trials are of multiple types,
out of which randomized controlled trials are the most efficient and are also called "gold standard" but is
most expensive as well.

but in a year
after 300 have periodontitis, how much is the incidence?
o a.0.3
o b.0.1
o c. 0.2
incidence rate is calculated as: new cases / persons at the time of risk. so new cases with perio prob is 300-
200= 100......that means there is 100 new cases so 100/1000= 0.1

with muscle spasm but to me that sounds is there all the time if the patient is suffering from COPD but
suddenly occurring wheezing is more asthma.
