BDS4 EBL Exam Questions with
complete solutions (2024-2025)
Describe kthe kstephan's kcurve?
Average kpH kof kmouth kis karound k6.7
When kwe keat kfood, kthe kpH kof kthe kmouth kdrops kvery kquickly
Once kit kdrops kbelow kthe kcritical kpH k(5.5 kfor kenamel), kwe kare kin kthe kdanger kzone
kand kour kteeth kbegin kto klose kminerals k(de-min).
It kthen ktakes ka kwhile kfor kthe kpH kto kbe krestored kback kto knormal
The kmore kyou keat/more ksnacks, kthe kmore kyour kmouth kis kin kdanger kzone kwhen kit
kis klosing kminerals kand kmore klikely kto kdevelop kcaries
What kare kthe kdental kfeatures kof kthumb ksucking?
Increased koverjet
Proclined kupper kincisors
Retroclined klower kincisors
AOB/reduced kOB
Narrow kupper karch
Increased krisk kof kclass kII kdiv k1
What kis kthe kdifference kbetween kdummy ksucking kand kthumb ksucking?
Dummy ksucking kcauses kfewer kproblems, kas kthe khabit kstops kafter kpermanent kteeth
kerupt
Easier kto kget krid kof kdummy, kunable kto kget krid kof kthumb!
Children kwho kuse ka kdummy kare kless klikely kto ksuck kthumbs
Dummy: ksymmetrical kAOB
Thumb: kasymmetrical kAOB
What kare kthe ktreatment koptions kfor kthumb ksucking?
Non-appliance khabit kbreaking:
Discussion kwith kparent kand kchild, ktongue, kplaster kon kfinger, kchemical knail kpolish
Appliance khabit kbreaking:
, Can kbe kfixed kor kremovable k- kneed kpatient kco-operation
Keep kfor k6 kmonths kafter khabit kbroken
Give kan kexample kof ka khabit kbreaker kappliance?
Hayrake kappliance k- kfixed
Bands kon kmolars, kwire kanteriorly, kprongs kto kprevent kNNS
What kare ksome knegative knon-dental keffects kof kNNS?
Negative keffect kon kbreastfeeding
Increased krisk kof kotitis kmedia k(abnormal kpressure kin kthe kmouth)
Increased krisk kof kGI kinfection k(dirty kdummy)
Increased krisk kof koral kcandida
Infant kbotulism: kdipping kdummy kin khoney
Red kraw kthumb
What kare kthe kbenefits kof kNNS?
Decreased kperipheral ksensitivity kin knew kborns
Protective keffect kSIDS
Recommendation kfor kbabies kto khave ka kdummy kat kthe kstart kof ksleep
What kis kthe kcritical kpH kfor kenamel?
5.5
What kis kthe kcritical kpH kfor kdentine?
6.2
Why kdo kwe kwant kto kkeep kprimary kmolars kin kplace? kWhat khappens kif kwe klose kit
ktoo kearly?
Act kas kspace kmaintenance kfor kpermanent kteeth k- kif kwe klose kit ktoo kearly, kthere kcan
kbe kcrowding
If kwe klose kit ktoo kearly: k6 kwill kdrift kmesially, kand kthen kthe kpremolars kwill kstruggle kto
kerupt
When kdo kwe klose kprimary kE?
10-12
What kis ka khall kcrown?
Preformed kstainless ksteel kcrown kplaced kon kprimary kteeth kwith khave kcaries k(with kno
kpain/no kpulpal kinvolvement)
What kis khypoplasia?
Issues kwith kmatrix kformation
There kis knot kenough kenamel kpresent, kbut kenamel kthat kis kpresent kis kgood kquality
Presents kas kpitted, kgrooved, kthin kenamel
What kis khypomineralisation?
There kwas kan kissue kwith kthe kmineralisation kprocess
