A 14 year old child attends your practice and requests tooth whitening. What should you do?
a. Agree to the treatment because the child is Gillick competent
b. Refuse to treat the child because she is aged 14 years
c. Discuss the request with the parents alone
d. Discuss the request with the parent and child and obtain permission from both
e. Ask another dentist to witness the child’s request and, if he or she is in agreement, proceed with treatment

D. Discuss the request with the parent and child and obtain permission from both.
The child may well be competent to consent to treatment, however, this is an aesthetic treatment, and not one that is medically necessary. In this case, as the child is not an adult, it is appropriate that consent is gained from both parent and child.

A panicking mother informs you that her 3 year old child's upper central deciduous incisor had avulsed. What advice would you give her? a. Store the tooth in milk and bring the child to the surgery immediately b. Store the tooth in cold water and bring the child to the surgery c.

A failure of fusion of which of the following leads to the formation of a cleft lip? a. Lateral palatal shelves and the primary nasal process b. Maxillary processes and the median nasal process c. Maxillary processes and the lateral palatal shelves d. Mandibular processes and the maxillary processes e. Lateral palatal shelves and the median nasal processes

B. Maxillary processes and the median nasal process Failure of fusion of the maxillary processes and median nasal process causes cleft lip.

Patients with a cleft palate often have which skeletal relationship? a. Class I b. Class II div 1 c. Class II div 2 d. Class II either div 1 or 2 e. Class III

E. Class III Due to the failure of the maxilla to grow in proportion with the rest of the face, the maxilla is often smaller than the mandible and therefore the patient has a skeletal class III relationship.
