Why do we need to obturate?

To prevent infection/reinfection of treated root canals.

To disinfect the treated root canals.

To facilitate the shaping of the root canals.

To make root canals radiopaque.

Endodontic failures related to obturation can be caused by:?

No shrinkage with setting

Which of the following is a desirable property of an ideal sealer?

1-2 seconds

2-3 seconds

3-4 seconds

4-5 seconds

Which is not a factor to consider when making a decision about the timing of obturation?

Degree of difficulty

Patients symptoms

Bacterial culture

Pulp and periradicular status

Which is not a desirable property of an ideal core obturating materials?

Be radiopaque

Be hardly removed from the root canal

Be sterilize or easily sterilized

Be impervious to moisture

In lateral condensation, the master cone is fitted to:?

Within 0.5 mm of the working length (WL)

Within 1 mm of the WL

Within 1.5 mm of the WL

Within 2 mm of the WL

When should spreader or plugger be selected?

Before the cleaning and shaping phase

During the cleaning and shaping phase

Just before the obturation

During the obturation

Pulpal anesthesia fails more commonly in which region?

Maxillary anterior teeth

Maxillary posterior teeth

Mandibular anterior teeth

Mandibular posterior teeth

When pulpal anesthesia fails, what should we do as our first attempt to succeed in numbing the pulp?

Repeat the injection and wait for 5-10 minutes

Supplement with intraligamentary or intraossoeus injection

Intrapulpal injection

Use devitalizing agents

Which is a common premedication used when pulpal anesthesia still fails even all attempts have been tried?

NSAIDs + antibiotics

NSAIDs + benzodiazepines

NSAIDs + acetaminophen

NSAIDs + antihistamines

Which are the two most commonly used methods to determine working length?

Radiography and electronic apex locator

Radiography and paper point

Electronic apex locator and paper point

Tactile sense and radiography

To achieve proper isolation for endodontic procedure, which method should we use?

Cotton rolls

Rubber dam placement

Saliva ejector

Keep the patient open his/her mouth

Which of the following is not a reason of using rubber dam?

To prevent aspiration or accidental swallowing of endodontic instruments and irrigants

To provide an aseptic field of operation

To eliminate the need to remove caries before access cavity preparation

To improve visibility

Which thicknesses of rubber dam are preferably used in most situations?

Medium and heavy

Light and medium

Heavy and extra heavy

Medium and extra heavy

Which solution is used to disinfect the operating field after rubber dam placement?

5% iodine tincture

30% hydrogen peroxide

EDTA

Citric acid

What is the objective of access cavity?

To identify canal orifices

To facilitate cleaning, shaping and obturation

To identify canal orifices and facilitate cleaning, shaping and obturation

To enlarge root canals

What will happen if we do not completely remove all the contents of pulp chamber?

It is hard to locate canal orifices

It is impossible to gain straight line access

Contamination or infection of the endodontic space can occur

Nothing happens

What is the main reason of discoloration of root treated teeth?

Inadequate cleaning and shaping

Inadequate obturation

Leaving some pulp contents or sealer behind in the pulp chamber

By irrigating with chlorhexidine

Why is straight-line access important?

To decrease procedural errors

To make a more tapered canal preparation

To eliminate the need to completely unroof the pulp chamber

To clean 1/3 coronal of the root canals

Why do we need to conserve tooth structure when preparing access cavity?

Because this is what we always do in dentistry

To avoid unnecessarily weakening the tooth

Because the smaller the access cavity, the simpler the root canal procedure

So that we don’t need to create straight-line access if that means sacrifice more tooth structure
