I have followed all the textbooks, decks, mosby, notes, ASDA, and facebook groups. I have
noted down questions that I found important from many sources. I have added the source with
page number in many repeated or doubtful questions. I will still suggest you to double check
things and study the topic of question because questions are randomly picked as and when
encountered while reading depending on the topics. Once again many questions are
intentionally repeated because I found them important or may be I wanted to add more
information on it. You guys can discuss the files or questions or may be update it like you did for
first file, up to you, but I can say that this is all you need for 2018 prep. All questions from most
of the important topics according to me are covered.
I believe that Knowledge is priceless, so one more time I will prefer to publish it free rather than
selling it or making money out of it.
I would recommend crash courses with Dr. Joshi. Read about it here:
https://www.facebook.com/NBDE-Crash-Course-by-Dr-Satyam-joshi-146130856211047/

Case 46: Case on Management of transient ischemic attack- read the drugs? – antiplatelet
agents are recommended over anticoagulants to reduce risk. Combining aspirin with
dipyridamole is suggested over aspirin alone. Clopidogrel is a reasonable substitute for people
allergic to aspirin. A transient ischemic attack (TIA) is a brief episode of neurologic dysfunction
caused by ischemia (loss of blood flow) – either focal brain, spinal cord, or retinal – without
infarction (tissue death). TIAs have the same underlying cause as strokes: a disruption of
cerebral blood flow (CBF). Symptoms caused by a TIA resolve in 24 hours or less. Antiplatelet
medications such as aspirin are generally recommended. They reduce the overall risk of
recurrence by 13% with greater benefit early on. The initial treatment is aspirin, second-line is
clopidogrel (Plavix), third-line is ticlopidine. If TIAs recur after aspirin treatment, the
combination of aspirin and dipyridamole may be recommended. Some people may also be given
modifiedrelease dipyridamole or clopidogrel. An electrocardiogram (ECG) may show atrial
fibrillation, a common cause of TIAs, or other abnormal heart rhythms that may cause
embolization to the brain. An echocardiogram is useful in detecting a blood clot within the heart
chambers. Such people may benefit from anticoagulation medications such as heparin and
warfarin.

1) HYPERTENSION
i. Preoperative
1. Measure blood pressure and review health status to include all medications. 2.
Refer/encourage patient to see physician if BP is elevated.
3. Minimize stress; might consider oral sedative premedication.
4. For patients with BP less than 180/110, and no evidence of target organ involvement (i.e.
encephalopathy, MI, unstable angina) any dental treatment may be provided)
2) OSTEOARTHIRITIS
DENTAL MANAGEMENT AND TREATMENT PLANNING MODIFICATIONS: • Ensure patient
comfort while in chair • Be aware of potential for increased bleeding in patients on aspirin
products or NSAIDs (not clinically significant) • Antibiotic prophylaxis may be indicated for
some patients with joint prostheses.
• Technical modifications determined by patient disabilities: • OH: may need special techniques
(electrical toothbrush, modified handles, elbow support) • Ability to insert/remove appliances •
TMJ involvement: monitor and treat appropriately
3) MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Use vasoconstrictors with caution, due to increased risk for adverse outcomes1.Increased risk
of cardiac arrhythmias in patients taking digitalis (e.g., digoxin).2.Increased risk of a
hypertensive episode followed by bradycardia in patients taking nonselective beta-blockers
(e.g., propranolol).3. Risk of complications increases with high doses of vasoconstrictors
Prescribe with caution
1. NSAIDs and ASA with Digoxin, Captopril, Propranolol: limit prescribing to 4 days or less.
2. Antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin, tetracycline) with Digoxin, Propranolol.
3. Barbiturates, benzodiazepines with Digoxin, Verapamil, Lovastatin.
Epinephrine-containing local anesthetic can be used with minimal risk if the dose is limited to
0.036 mg epinephrine (2 cartridges containing 1:100,000 epi) or 0.20 mg levonordefrin (2
cartridges containing 1:20,000 levo)2. AVOID the use of epinephrine-impregnated retraction
cord and epinephrine 1:50,000 concentrations.
Increased risk, monitor patient
Low-dose ASA (75–325 mg/day), antiplatelet agents (e.g. clopidogrel), and oral anticoagulants
(e.g., warfarin) can increase the risk of surgical and postoperative bleedin
Delay routine dental treatment for 6 weeks if patient has had a revascularization procedure
(i.e. coronary artery bypass graft or stent placement).
Short, morning appointments for stress and anxiety reduction.
1. Prior to dental treatment, ask the patient about unstable angina and exercise tolerance.2.
Prescribe adequate analgesia during the appointments to minimize pain, discomfort, and
anxiety. 1. Consider semisupine chair position for patients with cardiovascular
disease.2.Discharge patient slowly to avoid orthostatic hypotension.
5) EMERGENCY TRAINING
1. Call 911 or ask someone else to do so. 2. Try to get the person to respond; if he doesn’t, roll
the person on his or her back. 3. Start chest compressions. Place the heel of your hand on the
center of the victim’s chest. Put your other hand on top of the first with your fingers interlaced.
4. Press down so you compress the chest at least 2 inches in adults and children and 1.5 inches
in infants. “One hundred times a minute or even a little faster is optimal,” Sayre says. (That’s
about the same rhythm as the beat of the Bee Gee’s song “Stayin’ Alive.”) 5. If you’ve been
trained in CPR, you can now open the airway with a head tilt and chin lift. 6. Pinch closed the
nose of the victim. Take a normal breath, cover the victim’s mouth with yours to create an
airtight seal, and then give two, one-second breaths as you watch for the chest to rise. 7.
Continue compressions and breaths – 30 compressions, two breaths – until help arrives
2. ORDER
a. Check airway b. check breathing c.extend neck and tilt chin 4. Protrude tongue and mandible
6. ASTHMA
1. Suspend the dental procedure and raise the patient to a comfortable position.
2. Establish and keep the airways free, and administer an inhalatory β2 agonist.
3. Administer oxygen with a mask. If no improvement is observed or the symptoms worsen,
administer subcutaneous epinephrine (1:1000 in solution, 0.01 mg/kg body weight, with a
maximum dose of 0.3 mg).
4. Notify the emergency medical service. 5. Maintain adequate oxygen levels until the patient
breathes regularly and/or medical help arrives (8)7. XEROSTOMIA
Hyperventilation, breathing through the mouth, smoking or drinking alcohol. Trauma to the
head and neck area can damage the nerves supplying sensation to the mouth, impairing the
normal function of the salivary glands
Acute xerostomia from radiation is due to an inflammatory reaction, while late xerostomia,
which can occur up to one year after radiation therapy, results from fibrosis of the salivary
gland and is usually permanent. Radiation causes changes in the serous secretory cells,
resulting in a reduction in salivary output and increased viscosity of the saliva
8)DIABETES
Dental management
In patients with controlled diabetes, no special treatment is required for routine dentistry
including prophylaxis and dental restorative care. The patient should be told to continue with
their normal eating and injection regimen. Morning appointments are recommended because
Complications/management/prevention
If hypoglycemia appears to be developing, dental treatment should be terminated and glucose
administered. Loss of consciousness is the most serious complication of hypoglycemia. Medical
assistance should be quickly sought and, if the dentist is knowledgeable with IV procedure, an
IV should be placed with immediate delivery of 25-30 mL of a 50% dextrose solution or 1 mg of
glycogen. Glycogen can also be provided by intramuscular or subcutaneous delivery.
Post-treatment problems can include delayed healing and infection. In uncontrolled diabetics,
electrolyte imbalance can also present a problem following dental treatment.
9) ANGINA
• short morning appointments,
• premedication with anxiolytics or prophylactic nitroglycerin,
• nitrous oxide-oxygen sedation, and slow delivery of an anesthetic with epinephrine
(1:100,000) coupled with aspiration.
• The patient with mild or moderate angina should be reminded to have with them their
nitroglycerin tablets in case of an attack during treatment.
• Anxiolytic night before (triazolam, etc)
• oxygen deprivation in the patient with severe ischemic disease and angina can be avoided by
delivery of oxygen via nasal cannula at 3L/min during dental treatment. Administer .4 mg
Sublingually every 5 mins.
10) SYNCOPE
- lay patient in a supine position, elevate extremities (trendelbrg position)
- administer oxygen
- avoid rapid changes in posture

GENERAL RESORPTION PATTERN
the maxillary teeth generally flare downward and outward so
resorption takes place as upward and inward ,the outer cortical plate is thinner than the inner
cortical plate so resorption is rapid in outer ,as resorption takes place in maxilla it becomes
smaller
IN MANDIBLE
the anterior teeth generally incline upward and forward to the occlusal plane so
resorptionin ,the outer cortex is thicker than the lingual cortex and width of the mand is
greatest in inferior border so it will resorb lingually (inward) and inferiorly (downward )ans as a
result the mand becomes wider posteriorly
The alpha particle is the heaviest. It is produced when the heaviest elements decay. Alpha and
beta rays are not waves. They are high-energy particles that are expelled from unstable nuclei.
In the case of alpha radiation, the energy The particles leave the nucleus .
The Stephan Curve is something we learnt about at dental school- it shows the effect of eating
and drinking in your mouth clearly in a graphical form and is crucial in helping you understand
dental decay.

o UNBUNDLING: "the separating of a dental procedure into component parts with each part
having a charge so that the cumulative charge of the components is greater than the total
charge to patients who are not beneficiaries of a dental benefit plan for the same procedure."
o BUNDLING "the systematic combining of distinct dental procedures by third-party payers that
results in a reduced benefit for the patient/beneficiary."
o UPCODING or overcoding: "reporting a more complex and/or higher cost procedure than was
actually performed."
o DOWNCODING: "a practice of third-party payers in which the benefit code has been changed
to a less complex and/or lower cost procedure than was reported except where delineated in
contract agreements."
In Epidemiology a confounder is: not part of the real association between exposure and disease
o predicts disease unequally distributed between exposure groups
o A researcher can only
control a study or analysis for confounders that are: known, measurable
Example: Grey hair
predicts heart disease if it is put into a multiple regression model because it is unequally
distributed
between people who do have heart disease (the elderly) and those who don't (the
young). Grey hair confounds thinking
about heart disease because it is not a cause of heart
disease.
Strategies to reduce confounding are:
o randomization (aim is random distribution of
confounders between study groups)
o restriction (restrict entry to study of individuals with
confounding factors - risks bias in itself)
o matching (of individuals or groups, aim for equal
distribution of confounders)
o stratification (confounders are distributed evenly within each
stratum)
o adjustment (usually distorted by choice of standard)
o multivariate analysis (only
works if you can identify and measure the confounders)
Immune granulomas can have a few different appearances, depending on their cause. Here’s a
summary:
1. Tuberculosis. Granulomas in TB are sometimes called tubercles. They are
caseating, meaning they are “cheesy” in gross appearance. Histologically, there is a bunch of
amorphous, granular, necrotic debris in the center of the granuloma. You should see some acid-
fast bacilli in there too.
2. Leprosy. These granulomas are non-caseating, and an acid-fast stain should reveal bacilli.
3. Syphilis. Granulomas in syphilis are called gummas; they have central necrosis (but not really
caseating, because you can still see cell outlines) and a plasma cell infiltrate.

Skirt preparation in gold only - it is a surface extention feature for secondary retention. the
preparation is extended over to facial/lingual external wall of tooth in cases of short axial walls
or tilted teeth (there r few other indications as well). the finish line over the external
facial/lingual surafce extends at the mid third of surface n doesnt extend all the way down as in
crown preps.
