Guest guest Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 1. Which of the following was not a goal of the Department of Health when they set out to modernise dentistry in 2004? A. to more fairly remunerate general dental practitioners B. to lower general dental practitioner salaries C. to provide patients with greater access to care D. to increase patient choice 2. Acute maxillary sinusitis: A. will often present with facial pain and swelling B. will often present as facial swelling as the only symptom C. is always best treated with antibiotics D. usually presents within ten days of an upper respiratory tract infection, commonly causes unilateral orofacial pain, rarely facial swelling. Initially is best treated with analgesia, topical decongestants and nasal irrigation rather than antibiotics 3. Chronic maxillary sinusitis: A. is often a cause of orofacial pain B. always requires antibiotics, rather than nasal decongestants and saline nasal irrigation C. is maxillary sinus inflammation, with nasal congestion and discharge lasting between 8-12 weeks, rarely causing orofacial pain D. always requires surgery, which is increasingly being provided by endoscopic methods 4. Retention cysts... A. of the maxillary sinus arise through obstruction of the mucous secreting unit of the sinus lining and commonly occur on the sinus floor and are often seen on dental radiographs B. when seen on radiographs should always be biopsied to exclude sinus disease of dental origin or malignant sinus disease C. when seen on dental radiographs usually have a corticated upper margin D. occur in up to 14% of people living in industrialised areas and it is justifiable to take dental panoramic tomograms as a screening procedure as they are best imaged on these radiographs 5. Dental disease that extends into the maxillary sinus: A. is often viewed on radiographs as a non-corticated, dome shaped radio-opacity, on the sinus floor B. when associated with extruded root canal medicaments can predispose to fungal infections such as aspergillosis C. commonly causes infra-orbital paraesthesia D. is frequently associated with aerobic bacterial infection I got these Qs from bdj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
