Q
- Which of the following statements is false?
• Neural crest cells undergo ectodermal- to-mesenchymal transitions
• Neural crest cells are multipotent
• The initiation stage of tooth development is not part of morphogenesis
• The thickening of the epithelium in the primary epithelial band is due to an
increased rate of cell proliferation
• If the mesenchymal condensation around the epithelial bud does not occur tooth development will stop at the bud stage
A
• The thickening of the epithelium in the primary epithelial band is due to an

Q
3. Which two of the following does the dental follicle not give rise to? • The dentine • The periodontal ligament • The alveolar bone socket • The cementum • The dental pulp
A
- The dentine
* The dental pulp
4
Q
5. At which stage of tooth development do tooth buds for the permanent teeth begin to form? • Bud stage • Early cap stage • Late cap stage • Early bell stage • Late bell stage
A
• Late bell stage
5
Q
- Which of the following statements is false?
• The coronal two thirds of the root contain acellular cementum
• The dental papilla controls alveolar bone metabolism during tooth eruption
• The cervical loop is where the inner enamel epithelium joins the outer enamel
epithelium
• The breakdown of HERS causes cementum and periodontal ligament
formation
• HERS maps out the root shape
A
• The coronal two thirds of the root contain acellular cementum
6
Q
- Which of the follow statements is false?
• The pulp is often called the dentine-pulp complex because the odontoblast processes extend at least one-third into the dentinal tubules
• Enamel contains type 1 collagen fibres
• In older patients the pulp reduces in size
• Odontoblasts are post mitotic cells and therefore cannot divide
• The nerves of the dental pulp are both myelinated and unmyelinated
A
• Enamel contains type 1 collagen fibres
7
Q
11. Which of the following is not a purpose of the dental pulp? • To form dentine • To form the periodontal ligament • Defence against infection • To repair dentine • To form the root
A
• To form the periodontal ligament
8
Q
12. Which one of the following is not part of the periodontium? • Gingiva • Dentine • Periodontal ligament • Cementum • Alveolar bone

• It is always stippled
A
• It is keratanised
10
Q
15. Which tooth has the canine fossa? • Maxillary first premolar • Mandibular first premolar • Maxillary canine • Mandibular canine • Mandibular second premolar

Q
- Which of the following statements is false?
• Coronal dentine consists only of mantle and circumpulpal dentine
• Peritubular dentine is hypercalcified compared to intertubular dentine
• There is often a neonatal line in dentine
• Interglobular dentine is areas of highly calcified dentine formed by over fusion
of the calcospherites
• Tertiary dentine can be reactionary or reparative
A
• Interglobular dentine is areas of highly calcified dentine formed by over fusion
