Question 1
During the Technical Skills Day, you are preparing a Class II cavity on a typodont molar for amalgam. To create adequate resistance and retention form, what is the recommended pulpal floor depth and the ideal cavosurface margin angle for the occlusal portion?
Correct Answer:
Pulpal floor ~1.5-2 mm into dentine with a 90-degree (butt-joint) cavosurface margin
Question 2
In the ADC Practical Examination, infection control is assessed as a global skill across all stations. A candidate completes an excellent composite restoration but recaps a local anaesthetic needle using a two-handed technique. How is this most likely to affect the result?
Correct Answer:
It can cause a fail because critical infection-control/sharps breaches override technical performance
Question 3
You are placing a posterior resin composite restoration on a typodont during the Technical Skills Day. To minimise polymerisation shrinkage stress and marginal gap formation, which placement strategy is most appropriate?
Correct Answer:
Place in increments of approximately 2 mm or less and cure each layer adequately
Question 4
A simulated patient on Clinical Skills Day reports a dull, poorly localised ache in the lower right quadrant that is worse with hot drinks and lingers for several minutes after the stimulus is removed. There is a deep restoration on the lower right first molar. Which diagnosis best fits this history?
Correct Answer:
Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis
Question 5
On the Technical Skills Day you must perform an endodontic access cavity preparation on a maxillary first molar typodont. How many canals should you typically expect to locate, and which canal is most commonly missed?
Correct Answer:
Three or four canals; the second mesiobuccal (MB2) canal is most commonly missed
