Kim Chee is a shy little girl, who has a school exam at her church picnic. Her mother is brining her in to see you because she was reported having several teeth with cavities. Her mother mentioned that occasionally Kim complains of some tooth pain in the lower quadrants after eating sweet rice cakes, but the pain quickly goes away. She is a bit apprehensive and does allow you to perform an extra- and intraoral examination, but only after several minutes of positive behavior management. Radiographs are needed to complete your data gathering so you may formulate an appropriate treatment plan. While removing caries on tooth #T, you expose the pulp. The size of the exposure is approximately 1 millimeter round and is surrounded by carious dentin. You elect to:
- cover the exposure with a dentin stimulating medication such as calcium hydroxide - remove the tooth - perform a calcium hydroxide pulpotomy - perform an MTA pulpotomy |

His mother says he had some blisters on the inside of his lip about two days ago that popped and left raw areas. They are whitish with a red border. Clinically, he exhibits some palpable lymph nodes along the cervical chain and is running a low-grade fever. He is not comfortable for you to evaluate today so you reappoint for two weeks from now. Bradley mosy likely has:

Bradley returns after the lesions disappear and is very cooperative during the examination. You are able to see visually that he is either congenitally missing his maxillary primary laterals or they are unerupted. What radiograph(s) would assist you in confriming they are congenitally missing or unerupted?

Clinically, he exhibits some palpable lymph nodes along the cervical chain and is running a low-grade fever. He is not comfortable for you to evaluate today so you reappoint for two weeks from now. Bradley has a questionable "stick" in a primary molar which requires replacing with a dental restorative material. Radiographically, there is no evidence of the lesion. You proceed with an enameloplasty, only to find out that the central pit is carious and requires excavation beyond the dentoenamel junction. At this point, you should consider:
- extending the preparation into all pits and grooves in preparation for a composite restoration - removing the caries without extension and placing a bonded composite, covered with a sealant - sealing over the entire occlusal surface |
removing the caries without extension and placing a bonded composite, covered with a sealant

William Lee Wallaby has been complaining about a dull, throbbing pain in the lower right quadrant of his mouth for the last two weeks. His single-parent mother has a hard time taking off from work to bring William Lee for treatment, but wants what's best for her son. The pain is intermittent and seems to occur without cause, i.e., chewing, hot foods, etcetera. The patient had a recent medical check up and was found to be in good health. Upon oral examination you note a swelling on the facial of tooth #S. You note a radiolucency between the mesial and distal roots of the tooth, extending down the distal root. Root structure appears normal. There is no internal/external resorption. Why would you see bone loss in the furcation?

Three-year-old Beverly Tallfeather spends most of her days at her grandmother's house while her mother would be at work. Granny has a constant supply of candy, and as we can guess, Beverly ends up in your office with a mouthful of cavities. Granny Tallfeather has signed her up for a beauty contest and wants Beverly's teeth to be "pretty." You recommend composite strip crowns. You isolate the anteriors, begin removing the caries on the left central with your round bur and have an exposure of the pulp. The exposure is small, about the size of the end of a 330 bur. After controlling the hemorrhage, you confrim that all the surrounding dentin is healthy. Does the exposure require treatment?
- No, since the teeth will exfoliate within the next 6-8 months, you should remove the tooth, replacing it with a kiddy-partial for esthetics - Yes, cover the exposure with a reparative dentin stimulating medication such as calcium hydroxide - Yes, a calcium hydroxide pulpotomy - Yes, a classic apexification process is recommended |
Yes, cover the exposure with a reparative dentin stimulating medication such as calcium hydroxide

After controlling the hemorrhage, you confrim that all the surrounding dentin is healthy. You better have luck with the adjacent central and remove all the caries without incident. Your preparation for the strip crown includes:

In a preparation for a strip crown, the celluloid crown form is trimmed to:
- sit on the shoulder preparation - be positioned 1-2 millimeters beyond the reverse bevel - rest tightly against the cingulum (cingulum rest) - extend 0.5-1.0 millimeters beyond the feather edges |
extend 0.5-1.0 millimeters beyond the feather edges

Typically, when accessing interproximal caries on an anterior tooth, the approach is:
- dependent upon the restorative material being used - from the lingual to minimize any compromises with esthetics - from the facial for convenience - through the surface more compromised from the caries |
through the sirface more compromised from the caries

Alex Munoz is a five-year old Hispanic male who was seen in urgent care for the removal of tooth #S. A medical history review of systems confirms that he is an otherwise healthy kid, but does have allergies to penicillin.

Alex Munoz is a five-year old Hispanic male who was seen in urgent care for the removal of tooth #S. A medical history review of systems confirms that he is an otherwise healthy kid, but does have allergies to penicillin. He is complaining of pain in the lower left quadrant, which keeps him up at night. Tooth #L has a mesioocclusal amalgam with a broken down margin. After removing the amalgam, the resultant distoocclusal preparation has extended beyond the distofacial and distolingual line angles. You should consider:
- using an amalgam bonding agent prior to condensation of the new amalgam restoration - restoring the tooth with a bonded posterior composite such as Herculite - a stainless steel crown - any of the above are acceptable |

A tooth has distal caries and restoring it will require using a lingual dovetail to improve retention. Its position on the tooth should be in the gingival two-thirds because:
- this is where the enamel is the thickest - it reduces the chances of pulpal exposure - there is the less of exposure of the restorative material from natural abrasion prior to exfoliation - all of the above |

|
Tooth #I has distal caries with pulp exposure and will be difficult to restore, but you elect not to remove it. It will require pulp therapy. It is asymptomatic and shows no radiographic evidence of bone or root structure loss. You remove the coronal pulp tissue, but cannot control the bleeding with pressure hemostasis. Your next step would be:
- seal in a formocresol pellet for 5-7 days - complete a partial pulpectomy - check for tissue tags - either seal in a formocresol pellet for 5-7 days or complete a partial pulpectomy |
check for tissue tags

Frankie is a healthy five-year old who you see in your office as a referral from another office. The dentist noticed some yellow spots bilaterally on Frankie's buccal mucosa.
