Based on View From the Roof, which of the following statements is true? Select all that apply.
*
The camera/earpiece system used in training allows the supervisor to provide feedback without the patient noticing.
The author describes the shape of the incorrectly prepared access cavity as resembling a lemon.
The study concluded that the haptic virtual reality simulator is inferior to training on artificial teeth.
The author suggests that spending £80,000 on a haptic trainer is necessary for effective training.
The study found that the skills of dentists trained using the haptic device evolved similarly to those trained on artificial teeth.

AI applications in endodontics currently rely heavily on in vitro data, which may not reflect real clinical complexities.
Radiomics is described as a tool that could help clinicians detect subtle pathological changes missed by human observation.
The author feels optimistic about the long-term impact of AI on the skills of future endodontists.
Technological advancements such as automated rotary Ni-Ti instrumentation have reduced the reliance on tactile feedback in endodontics.
The author expresses concern that modern endodontists might overly depend on AI tools without critical thinking.
Which of the following statements is true with regards to canal blockages? Select all that apply.
*
Dentine mud consists of both organic and inorganic debris and can block the canal if packed apically.
Brute force can be used to clear canal blockages when standard methods fail.
Using a GP cone with small vertical movements and alternating irrigants can help remove a blockage.
Hypochlorite should only be used after the blockage is cleared to prevent further issues.
Blocked canals are often unsolvable even with logical thinking and proper techniques.
Which of the following steps is not recommended for clearing a blocked canal? Select all that apply
*
Using laser-assisted irrigation for serious blockages.
Forcing a file beyond the blockage to dislodge it.
Alternating NaOCl and EDTA while pumping a GP cone with small vertical movements.
Reducing the working length to 1mm back from the blockage and completing preparation to that level.
Using a crown-down approach with decent coronal flare to prevent future blockages.
Which of the following best summarizes the final advice given in the article on blockages? Select all that apply
*
Be methodical and precise when addressing blockages, as brute force can cause more problems.
Always use laser-assisted irrigation techniques, as they are the most effective solution for all blockages.
If you cannot clear a blockage, it is better to stop and leave the canal unprepared than to risk further complications.
Clear blockages by relying solely on your tools and avoiding specialist intervention under any circumstances.
Preventing blockages entirely is unrealistic, so focus only on solving them when they occur.
Which of the following statements is true in the partial pulpotomy article? Select all that apply
*
The patient experienced severe lingering pain to temperature stimuli associated with the LR6.
CBCT imaging revealed a significant radiolucency below the mesial root apex measuring nearly 2 mm in diameter.
Vital pulp therapy, particularly pulpotomy, has been shown to achieve success rates of over 90% for irreversible pulpitis.
Indirect pulp capping is commonly indicated for cases of irreversible pulpitis with moderate inflammation.
The clinical case described resulted in failure after 18 months of follow-up.
Which of the following is not recommended for managing irreversible pulpitis, as described in Ian’s article? Select all that apply
*
Indirect pulp capping.
Full pulpotomy.
Partial pulpotomy.
Root canal treatment.
The use of hydraulic calcium silicate cements in pulp therapy.
which of the following best explains the growing interest in pulpotomy for irreversible pulpitis? Select all that apply
*
Pulpotomy is less invasive than traditional root canal treatment and achieves comparable outcomes.
Indirect pulp capping is frequently successful in treating irreversible pulpitis.
Advances in hydraulic calcium silicate cements have significantly improved pulpotomy outcomes.
The literature shows that full pulpotomy has a higher success rate than partial pulpotomy.
Randomised controlled trials have conclusively established pulpotomy as the standard of care for irreversible pulpitis.
In the Clinical Case described in ‘Demonstrating the Real-World Power of CBCT’ which statements here might be false? Select all that apply
*
There are two possible configurations for the two canals in the mesial roots of lower first molars.
The crown was secured with a post core.
The broken instrument was in the mesiobuccal canal.
The instrument was removed with a Masseran extractor
The tooth was extracted after 9 months
Which of the following statements is true according to A View from The Roof? Select all that apply
*
External cervical resorption (ECR) can sometimes be triggered by unknown factors and is often referred to as idiopathic.
A 62-year-old patient believed his ECR was evidence of aging in reverse, like Benjamin Button.
Prof. Shanon Patel’s study identified cat ownership as the primary cause of ECR.
A significant portion of ECR patients in Patel’s study had identifiable predisposing factors, such as orthodontics or trauma.
The conclusion of the study firmly established the cause of ECR as parafunctional habits.
