Which of the following statements is false about condensing osteitis?

  1. Condensing osteitis is the response to a low-grade, chronic inflammation of the periradicular area.

  2. Condensing osteitis is a mild irritation from pulpal disease that stimulates osteoblastic activity in the alveolar bone.

  3. Condensing osteitis is usually asymptomatic.

  4. Condensing osteitis is usually symptomatic.

  5. The mandibular posterior teeth are most frequently affected in condensing osteitis.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

This is an incorrect statement because condensing osteitis is usually asymptomatic.

Explanation:

EDTA is used for enlargement of the calcified canals.

Which of the following statements is/are false about cleaning and shaping of the canal?

  1. Shaping of canal is done after cleaning the apical 1/3rd to ensure patency.

  2. Shaping facilitates placement of instruments to the working length by increasing the coronal taper.

  3. Shaping permits more accurate assessment of the apical cross-section diameter of the canal.

  4. Only 1, 2 and 3

  5. Shaping is necessary for more calcifications that occur from coronal portion to the apex.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

This is an incorrect statement about cleaning and shaping of the canal.
