1.A 21 year old female came with a chief complaint of forwardly placed lower jaw. On clinical examination, there was mid-maxillary deficiency. Molar relation was class I bilaterally and upper arch had anterior crowding. There was a negative overjet and edge-to-edge bite. Cephalometric analysis revealed ANB to be -4° with decreased maxillary and increased mandibular length. Upper incisors were proclined and lower incisors were slightly protruded.1 The case should be diagnosed asa. Skeletal Class Ib. Skeletal Class IIc. Skeletal Class IIId. Skeletal End-on
Ans: c. Skeletal Class III (Ref: Page no 507 Proffit, White and Sarver) Class III problems, by definition, are those caused by some combination of
maxillary deficiency and mandibular excess. SNA angle will be decreased and SNB angle will be increased. Maxillary deficiency and mandibular excess may be seen alone or in
combination
What is pseudo class III ?.............. 2. Most common cause of an enlarged
mandible isa. Environmental factorsb. Cleft palatec. Heredityd. Impaired maxillary growth
Ans: c. Heredity (Ref: Page no 508 Proffit, White and Sarver)
A strong familial tendency exists towards the excessive growth that leads to mandibular prognathism.
The Hapsburg jaw, the prognathic mandible of European royal family is the best known example.
3. What should be the treatment plan ?a. Orthodontic treatmentb. Reverse twin blockc. Orthognathic surgeryd. Surgico-orthodontic treatment
Ans: d. Surgico-orthodontic treatment (Ref: Page no 691 Proffit 4/e)
Class III problems are less amenable to camouflage than class II because retraction of lower incisors makes the chin appear more prominent.
Reverse twin block is a myofuntional appliance given in growing children.
Orthognathic surgery alone would not be able to address the crowding and molar relation.
Orthodontic treatment combined with surgery is an appropriate treatment plan
4.What extractions should be performed for an optimum occlusion?
a. Lower central incisor and upper first premolarb. Upper first premolarc. Lower second premolard. Upper first and lower second premolar.
Ans: d. Upper first and lower second premolar (Ref: Page no 308, 693 Proffit 4/e)
Surgical preparation requires extraction of upper first premolars for retraction of upper incisors, correcting the crowding and increasing the reverse overjet, referred to as 'decompensation'.
Lower second premolar extraction provides space for protraction of lower molars so that molars come into class III relation so that after surgery, the molar relation is class I.
A 12 year old female came reported with bilateral cleft lip and palate. History taking revealed that lip repair was done at age of 10 months and palate repair was done at 2 years. posterior crossbite. 12 and 22 were missing. Bony defects were seen bilaterally in lateral incisor region.
5.The teratogens affecting cleft lip and palate area. Ethyl alcoholb. 6-Mercaptopurinec. X-radiationd. Vitamin D excess
Ans: b. 6-Mercaptopurine (Ref: Page no 131 Proffit 4/e)Following are the teratogens affecting development of cleft lip
and palate :AspirinCigarette smoke (hypoxia)Dilantin6-MercaptopurineValium
6.Infant orthopaedics necessary in such cases was pioneered by
a. Burstonb. Harvoldc. Millardd. Rosenbeck
Ans: a. Burston (Ref: Page no 321 Proffit 4/e)Infant orthopaedics - orthodontic intervention to reposition the
lateral segments and to bring the protruding premaxillary segment back into the arch to obtain good surgical repair of the lip.
Accomplished by light elastic strap across anterior segment and orthodontic appliance pinned to the segments to apply contraction force.
Pioneered by Burston in Liverpool in late 1950s.
7.The ideal time for lip repair isa. 10 daysb. 10 weeksc. 10 monthsd. None of the above
b.10 weeks (Ref: Page no 321 Proffit 4/e)Millard advocated lip repair at the age of 10 weeks
(Rule of 10s).If presurgical movement of maxillary segments is
indicated, it is beginned at 3-6 weeks, so that lip closure can be done at age of 10 weeks.
A passive plate is used for few months after lip closure
.8.The ideal age for alveolar bone grafting isa. 5-7 yearsb. 6-8 yearsc. 7-10 yearsd. 7-9 years
Ans: c. 7-10 years (Ref: Page no 324 Proffit 4/e)The permanent lateral incisors and canines should ideally
be made to erupt through the graft.The best time to place the graft is between 7-10 years.Necessary alignment or expansion of posterior segments
should be completed before alveolar grafting.
9.A removable orthodontic appliance, producing a light force on the labial of a proclined maxillary central incisor will cause

12.Maxillary incisor protrusion can be treated by
1. premolar extraction with orthodontic retraction of the incisors.
2. premolar extraction with surgical repositioning of the anterior dentoalveolar segment.
3. extraction of the incisors, alveoloplasty and prosthodontic replacement.
4. Reduction genioplasty.A. (1)(2) (3) B. (l)and(3) C. (2) and
(4)D. (4) only E. All of the above
Ans A (Ref : page no. 204 and 701 proffit 4/e)Orthodontic treatment of maxillary incisor
protrusion:Excessive protrusion of incisors( bimaxillary
protrusion,(not excessive overjet) usually is an indication for premolar extraction and retraction of the protruding incisors.
Surgical treatment of maxillary incisor protrusion:
Segments of the dentoalveolar process can be repositioned surgically in all three planes of space. Genioplasty is the surgical repositioning of the chin. It can not be used for maxillary incisor protrusion
13.The mandible grows primarily at theA. symphysis and condyles.B. posterior border of the ramus and the
alveolar crest.C. condyles and lateral border of the body.D. condyles and posterior border of the
ramus.E. symphysis and posterior border of the
ramus.
Ans D (Ref : page no. 46 proffit 4/e) If data from vital staining experiments are examined,
it becomes apparent that the principal sites of growth of the mandible are the posterior surface of the ramus and the condylar and coronoid processes.There is little change along the anterior part of the mandible.
As a growth site, the chin is almost inactive. It is transIated downward and forward, as the actual growth occurs at the mandibular condyle and along the posterior surface of the ramus. The body of the mandible grows longer by periosteal apposition o f bone on its posterior s urface,while the ramus grows longer by endochondralr eplacemenat the condyle accompanied by surface remodeling.
14. Which of the following are mechanisms of growth of the naso-maxillary complex?A. Sutural. B. Cartilaginous.C. Appositional. D. All of the above

15.The principal growth sites of the maxilla in a downward and forward direction include the
a.frontomaxillary suture.
b.zygomaticomaxillary suture.
c.pterygopalatine suture.

16. Following orthodontic rotation of teeth, which of the periodontal ligament fibres are most commonly associated with relapse?
A. Oblique. B.Diagonal. C.Horizontal. D.Supracresta
17. Which type of malocclusion should be corrected as early as possible?
A. Class II Division 1 associated with an anterior open bite.B. Class II Division 2 associated with an increased anterior

19. The angles, SNA, SNB and ANB are often used to describe relationships of the maxilla and mandible. The reliability of interpretations based on these angles is
A. good because research has proven their accuracy.B. good because these landmarks can be identified
accurately on the cephalometric radiograph.C. questionable because of variations in vertical
relationships in the lower face.D. questionable because of variations in head posture.
Ans C (Ref : page 209 Proffit 4/e)ANB has two major shortcomings:
One is the vertical height of the face. As the vertical distance between nasion and points A and B increases, the ANB angle will decrease.
The second is that if the anteroposterior position of nasion is abnormal, the size of the angle will be affected

29. A skeletal cross-bite always results from a discrepancy inA. eruption patterns.B. mandibular and maxillary bone
structure.C. tongue position (low posture).D. functional centric. E. facial
musculature patterns
Ans B (Ref : page no 437 Proffit 4/e)Skeletal crossbites, usually resulting from a narrow maxilla
but occasionally from an excessively wide mandible, generally are treated by heavy forces to open the midpalatal suture and make the maxilla wider.
30. The body of the mandible increases in length to
accommodate the second molar byA. apposition of bone in the condyle.B. resorption of bone along the anterior border of the
ramus and apposition of bone on the posterior border of the ramus.

34. The appliance best suited to achieve rapid maxillary expansion (palatine suture stretching) is a
A. removable appliance with an expansion screw.
B. Nance appliance.C. quad helix appliance. D. fixed Hyrax
appliance
Ans D (Ref : page no 561 Proffit 4/e)Appliance best suited to achieve rapid maxillary expansion (palatine suture stretching) is a fixed Hyrax appliance. Hyrax is an acronym for hygienic rapid expander. The screws have heavy gauge wire extensions that are adapted to follow the palatal contour
35. A labia frenum causes a diastema between the maxillary permanent central incisors. The lateral incisors and canines have not erupted. The most appropriate treatment is to
A. perform a frenectomy.B. close the space with an orthodontic
appliance.C. observe the case until the eruption of
maxillary permanent lateral incisors and canines.
D. close the space with an elastic band, close the space after the eruption of the lateral incisors
36. Which of the following represents the correct patient position for the left lateral cephalogram.
a.Mid sagittal plane should be 5 feet from the tube.
bRight ear should be 5 feet from the tube.c.Left ear should be 6 feet from the tube.d.Left ear should be 5 feet from the tube.
Ans. A (Mid sagittal plane should be 5 feet from the tube)
“The distance between the X-ray source and the mid-sagittal plane of the patient is Fixed at 5 feet (152.4cm)” - Bhalaji 3rd Ed Pg 145.
“For Cephalometric applications the distance should he 152.4 cm (60 inches or 5 feet) between the X-ray source and the mid-coronal plane of the patient

D. Lack of space in the mandibular arch.E. Buccolingual angulation of affected
teeth
Ans E (Ref : page no 436 Proffit 4/e)Full-cusp bilateral posterior crossbite is quite
likely to have a skeletal component. A unilateral posterior crossbite usually is due to displaced teeth, but it may result from maxillary or mandibular skeletal asymmetry. If multiple teeth are in anterior crossbite, it is quite likely that the problem is a jaw discrepancy,
not just displacement of teeth.
