1.
 For questions 1 through 4 about rapid anesthesia:
  a. a lower block for a single mandibular molar was avoided
  b. expressing a topical anesthetic into the sulcus of a lower molar was shown
  c. when using the technique, pulpal anesthesia does not last as long as a block
  d. all of the above
     
2.
 Which is/are not true:
  a. as with a lower block, you need to wait about eight minutes for the anesthesia to work
  b. using a regular aspirating syringe, Septocaine® was applied into the furcation from the buccal
  c. the rapid anesthesia technique works best to anesthetize one or both mandibular molars
  d. the rapid anesthesia technique helps you stay on schedule because it works in seconds
   
3.
 For mandibular molar restorations:
  a. block anesthesia will still be used for full arch or quadrant restorations
  b. a lower block still is the easiest injection to hit every time
  c. most patients would rather have everything numbed instead of just a single tooth
  d. all of the above
   
4.
 When syringing the anesthesia:
  a. one tooth will require one-half to two-thirds of a carpule of anesthetic
  b. care should be taken to avoid getting anesthesia to the apicies
  c. a beveled needle is used to prevent the anesthesia from entering the pulp through the nutrient canals
  d. none of the above
   
5.
 Noticed during a walk-through of the dental laboratory was:
  a. over-retraction of gingival tissues prior to the impression
  b. a lack of consistent and adequate reduction on all preparations
  c. too much lingual reduction
  d. none of the above
   
6.
 When preparing teeth, it is difficult to know how much has been reduced:
  a. without using a matrix to see how much reduction you did
  b. unless you use a preparation technique based on depth cuts
  c. unless you use a belt-driven handpiece
  d. both a and b
   
7.
 Tooth preparation prior to impression-taking included:
  a. the reverse preparation technique after removal of an old crown on an adjacent tooth
  b. placement of a second cord, Size 2, on top of a 00 cord
  c. removal of the top cord after use of an anatomic cotton compression caps for 8-10 minutes
  d. all of the above
   
8.
 Which of the following is false:
  a. a fine-grit diamond tip ultrasonic scaler was used to finish gingival margins and round incisal angles
  b.

the bite registration for the lab need only be the incisal one-third of the prepared and opposing teeth
  c. Reduction was 2mm on the occlusal surface and 1.5mm for the axial surface
  d. none; all of the above are true
   
9.
 When discussing an acceptable impression, such as the last one shown, it was observed that:
  a. we want to see some well-defined impression material beyond the margin
  b. it shows the technician exactly where the margin ends
  c. it allows the technician to create the proper emergence profile
  d. all of the above
   
10.
 When commenting on problem impressions, some of the examples that were analyzed showed:
  a. the use of a double-arch impression tray for a 4-unit bridge
  b. a part of the tray showing through at the lingual margin
  c. use of four impressions to try to capture the margins on one case, and still not succeeding
  d. all of the above
