Q53)The line of occlusion is a smooth (catenary) curve passing
1-Through the central fossae of upper molars and across the cingulum of the upper anterior teeth.
2- through the central fossae of lower molars and across the cingulum of the lower anterior teeth.
3- Along the buccal cusps and incisal edges of the upper teeth.
4- Along the buccal cusps and incisal edges of the lower teeth.
a. 1 and 2
b. 2and 3
c. 1 and 4
d. 2 and 4
ANSWER IS A ,The line of occlusion is a smooth (catenary)
curve passing through the central fossa of each upper molar and
across the cingulum of the upper canine and incisor teeth. The
same line runs along the buccal cusps and incisal edges of the
lower teeth, thus specifying the occlusal as well as interarch relationships
once the molar position is established.
An excellent mathematical description of the natural
dental arch form is provided by a catenary curve, which is
the shape that a loop of chain would take if it were sus
pended from two hooks. The length of the chain and the
width between the supports determine the precise shape of
the curve. When the width across the first molars is used to
establish the posterior attachments, a catenary curve fitsthe dental arch form of the premolar-canine-incisor segment
of the arch very nicely for most individuals. Exceptions
include patients whose arches would fall into the
prosthodontists' classifications of square or tapering arch
forms. For all individuals, the fit is not as good if the catenary
curve is extended posteriorly, because the dental arch
normally curves slightly lingually in the second and third
molar region (Figure 12-46). Most of the preformed arch
wires offered by contemporary manufacturers are based on
a catenary curve, with average intermolar dimensions.
Although these arch wires are a good starting point, it
is apparent that even if one accepts the catenary curve as
ideal, their shape should be modified if the first molarwidths are unusually wide or narrow. Modifications to accommodate
for a generally more tapering or more square
morphology are also appropriate, and the second molars
must be "tucked in" slightly.
Another mathematical model of dental arch form,
originally advocated by Brader and often called the Brader
arch form, is based on a trifocal ellipse. The anterior seg
ment of the trifocal ellipse closely approximates the anterior
segment of a catenary curve, but the trifocal ellipse
gradually constricts posteriorly in a way that the catenary
curve does not . The Brader arch form,
therefore, will more closely approximate the normal position
of the second and third molars. It also differs from a
catenary curve in producing somewhat greater width across
the premolars.
Preformed arch wires prepared to an average Brader
arch form are available commercially in a limited range of
sizes, which can reduce the amount of individualization
necessary. Like the catenary curve, however, the Brader
arch form represents what the prosthodontists would call a
mid-range arch form, which will require some alteration
Q.54)Which of the following is defined as IOTN grade 5 ?
a. Increased overjet greater than 9 mm.
b. Increased and complete overbite with gingival or palatal trauma.
c. Anterior crossbite with greater than 2 mm discrepancy between CR and ICP.
d. Presence of supernumerary teeth.
ANSWER IS D
Several indices for scoring how much the teeth deviate
from the normal, as indicators of orthodontic treatment
need, were proposed in the 1970s. Of these, Grainger's
Treatment Priority Index (TPI)30 is the most prominent
because it was used in the 1965-1970 U.S. population
surveys. None of the early indices were widely accepted for
screening potential patients, however.
More recently, Shaw and co-workers in the United
Kingdom developed a scoring system for malocclusion, the
Index of Treatment Need (IOTN), 31 that places patients in
five grades from "no need for treatment" to "treatment
need."
Grade 5 (Extreme/Need Treatment)
5.i I mpeded eruption of teeth (except third molars) due to
crowding, displacement, the presence of
supernumerary teeth, retained deciduous teeth, and
any pathological cause.
5.h Extensive hypodontia with restorative implications
(more than one tooth per quadrant) requiring preprosthetic
orthodontics.
5.a I ncreased overjet greater than 9 mm.
5.m Reverse overjet greater than 3.5 mm with reported
masticatory and speech difficulties.
5.p Defects of cleft lip and palate and other craniofacial
anomalies.
5.s Submerged deciduous teeth.

Q56) X Occlusion is?
a) buccal crossbite in australian arborigines
b) seen in south pacific isllanders
c) seen in oriental population
d) seen in african population
answer is a
The findings are noted in present population groups that have remained largely unaffected by modern development:
crowding and malalignment of teeth are uncommon, but
the majority of the group may have mild anteroposterior
or transverse discrepancies, as in the Class III tendency of
South Pacific islanders 12 and buccal crossbite (X-occlusion)
in Australian aborigines
Q.57)When the gold wires were replaced by steel arch wires the reduction in the slot in the edgewise system was found to be?
a) 22 mil bracket
b) 28 mil bracket
c) 24 mil bracket
d) 18 mil bracket
answer is d
When steel arch wires replaced gold, Angle's original
engineering calculations were no longer valid because steel
wire of the same size was so much stiffer. An alternative was
to redesign the edgewise appliance, optimizing the bracket
slot size for steel. A reduction in slot size from 22 to 18 mil
was advocated for this purpose. Even with this smaller slot
size, full dimension steel wires still produce slightly greater
forces than the original edgewise system did, but the properties
of the appliance system are close to the original.
Good torque is possible with steel wires and 18 mil edgewise
brackets.
Q58)The artistic
positioning bends are
a)first order bend
b) second order bend
c)third order
d)none
Answer is b
In the original edgewise
appliance, second-order bends, sometimes called artistic
positioning bends, were an important part of the finishing
phase of treatment . These bends
were necessary because the long axis of each tooth is inclined
relative to the plane of a continuous arch wire .Without adequate second-order bends, the incisor
teeth are positioned too straight up and down with
the roots too close together, producing an effect sometimes
disparagingly called the "orthodontic look". The contemporary edgewise brackets that have a
built-in tip for maxillary incisor teeth routinely produce a
more esthetically pleasing arrangement of the incisors
than was achieved in many instances with the early fixed
appliances
Q58)In mc namara analysis which of following plane is used?
a) frankfort horizontal plane
b)basion nasion line
c) both of above
d) none
answer is c
McNamara Analysis. The McNamara analysis,
originally published in 1983, 2 ` still represents the state of
the art in cephalometric measurement analysis reasonably
well. It combines elements of previous approaches (Ricketts
and Harvold) with original measurements to attempt a
more precise definition of jaw and tooth positions. In this
method, both the anatomic Frankfort plane and the basionnasion
line are used as reference planes. The anteroposterior
position of the maxilla is evaluated with regard to its
position relative to the "nasion perpendicular," a vertical
line extending downward from nasion perpendicular to theFrankfort plane
The McNamara analysis has two major strengths: (1) It
relates the jaws via the nasion perpendicular, in essence
projecting the difference in anteroposterior position of the
jaws to an approximation of the true vertical line. (Using a
true vertical line, perpendicular to the true horizontal
rather than anatomic Frankfort, would be better yet; the
major reason for not doing so in constructing the analysis
is that the cephalometric films from which the normative
data were derived were not taken in NHP) (2) The normative
data are based on the well-defined Bolton sample,
which is also available in template form, meaning that the
McNamara measurements are highly compatible with preliminary
analysis by comparison with the Bolton templates

Q60) Whip spring is?
a) fixed
b) semifixed
c) removable
d) functional
Answer is c
One of the simplest fixed appliances for anterior cross bite purpose
is a maxillary lingual arch with fingersprings (sometimes
referred to as whip springs). This appliance is indicated
for a very young child or preadolescent with whom compliance
problems are anticipated. It consists of a 36 mil
maxillary lingual arch to which 22 mil springs are soldered
. The springs are usually soldered on the
opposite side of the arch from the tooth to be corrected,
in order to increase the length of the spring and are most
effective if they are approximately 15 mm long. This
length provides exceptional flexibility and range, but occasionally
a spur is needed to serve as a guide wire to keep
the wires from slipping over the incisal edge of the incisors

Q89) Safety valve mechanism is?
a)The anteroposterior increment in maxilla at 14 years
b) Increase in mandibular intercanine width at 14 years
c) increase in mandibular height at 12 years
d) Increase in maxillary intercanine width at 12 years
Answer is d
Reference Text book of orthodontics by Sridhar Prem kumar1st ed page 20
In both males and females the maxillary intercanine dimesnsion act as safety valve during pubertal growth, where there is basal horizontal mandibular growth partly unmatched by growth of maxilla as mandibular growth downward and forward.The maxillary intercanine dimesnsion is brought forward, thus elliminating the flush terminal plane relation or residual class 2 tendencies

Q95) Typically rapid palatal expansion is done with a jack screw that is activated at rate of?
a)1.00 to 2.00 mm/week
b)1.00 to 2.00mm/day
c)0.5 to 1.00 mm/week
d)0.5 to 1 mm/day
Answer is d
Rapid palatal expansion is done typically with twp turns daily of jackscrew 0.5mm activation. This create 10 to 20 pound of pressure across the mid palatal suture which is enough to create microfracture of interdigitation bone spicules.In slow palatal expansion , approximately 0.5mm per week is maximum rate at which the tissues of midpalatal suture can adopt
In RPE, the ratio of skelton to dental expansion is 4:1
In Slow palatal expansion the ratio is 1:1
