Question 1

Which suture technique provides the best approximation of a flap over an extraction socket before implant placement?

Accepted Answer

Figure-eight suture

Answer

A figure-eight suture effectively closes an extraction socket by crossing over the opening and providing tension-free closure across a wider gap.

Question 2

Implant primary stability is primarily determined by:

Accepted Answer

Bone density and implant-bone contact at placement

Answer

Primary stability results from the mechanical engagement between the implant and the surrounding bone, directly related to bone density and fit.

Question 3

When a surgeon uses an expander technique instead of sequential drilling, it is most appropriate in:

Accepted Answer

Soft cancellous bone (D4)

Answer

Bone expansion/condensing techniques are used in soft (D4) bone to compress trabecular bone laterally, increasing density and implant stability.

Question 4

A cover screw is placed at the end of a two-stage implant surgery primarily to:

Accepted Answer

Protect the internal connection and allow submerged healing

Answer

The cover screw seals the implant's internal connection and allows the implant to heal submerged under the mucosa, away from oral contaminants.

Question 5

The surgical assistant is responsible for maintaining the sterile field. If a sterile instrument falls below the level of the sterile drape, it should be:

Accepted Answer

Considered contaminated and replaced

Answer

Any sterile instrument that falls below the level of the sterile field or drape must be considered contaminated and cannot be returned to the sterile field.
