Q: The radiolucency in the image is:
(A). Oral ulcer (B). Mandibular foramen (C). Mental foramen (D). Incisive foramen In order to solve this, we have to examine the location of the radiolucency.

Q: The following drugs cause pupil dilation EXCEPT:
(A). Meth (B). Cocaine (C). LSD (D). Morphine Keyword: dilation The pupil is constricted or dilated by the smooth muscle in the iris.

But we will dissect it together so you are more ready for the dental hygiene board exam (NBDHE, NDHCE). First of all, we know that there are 12 cranial nerves, like a...  Read More
Q: Probe depth is 7 mm, recession is 2 mm. What is the CAL?
(A). 2 mm (B). 5 mm (C). 7 mm (D). 9 mm Keyword: recession Clinical attachment level (or loss, CAL) is a more accurate indicator of the periodontal support around a tooth than probing depth alone.
