✍️ Sample INBDE Questions & Answers
1. Protrusive records in complete denture fabrication are used to set the:
Protrusive records allow the clinician to program the condylar guidance angle (Hanau's formula: H = P/8 + 12) on the semi-adjustable articulator.
2. Which type of dentin is formed in response to irritation or injury?
Tertiary (reparative) dentin is produced by newly differentiated odontoblast-like cells as a protective response to local stimuli such as caries or trauma.
3. Which cells are primarily responsible for producing dentin?
Odontoblasts are the cells that synthesize and secrete the organic matrix of dentin throughout life.
4. Obturation of a root canal is considered acceptable when:
Ideal obturation terminates 0–2 mm short of the radiographic apex (at the apical constriction) with well-adapted gutta-percha and minimal sealer without voids.
5. Residual ridge resorption after tooth extraction follows a pattern that is:
The mandibular ridge typically resorbs 4 times faster than the maxilla overall, and resorption is greater in all dimensions in the mandible, making mandibular dentures more challenging.
