By Dr Paul S. Petrungaro, USA
1. Name clinical situations which can complicate procedures for achieving natural soft-tissue esthetics around dental implants
a) q insufficient intertooth spacing between natural teeth
b) q congenitally missing lateral incisors
c) q both answers 1 and 2
d) q none of these answers
2. Mini implants should not be used in:
a) q supporting temporary removable prostheses
b) q cases with less than 6.0 mm of inter-tooth space
c) q supporting edentulous cases
d) q all of these answers
3. An implant site requires, for a normal two-piece implant:
a) q implants are available from 1.8 mm diameter to 2.8 mm diameter
b) q implant should be placed at least 1.5mm from the adjacent teeth
c) q 1.8mm in diameter, which would allow for natural papillary contours to be developed.
d) q implant should be placed less than 1.5mm from the adjacent

a) q anchorage of single tooth implant restorations in compromised intertooth spaces
b) q immediate conversion of full dentures into implant supported denturesq both answers 3 and 4
c) q supporting temporary removable prostheses during the healing phase for advanced bone-grafting procedures
d) q supporting for partially edentulous cases
e) q conventional implant placement
