✍️ Sample INBDE Questions & Answers

1. Protrusive records in complete denture fabrication are used to set the:
✓ Condylar guidance angle on the articulator

Protrusive records allow the clinician to program the condylar guidance angle (Hanau's formula: H = P/8 + 12) on the semi-adjustable articulator.

2. Which type of dentin is formed in response to irritation or injury?
✓ Tertiary (reparative) dentin

Tertiary (reparative) dentin is produced by newly differentiated odontoblast-like cells as a protective response to local stimuli such as caries or trauma.

3. Which cells are primarily responsible for producing dentin?
✓ Odontoblasts

Odontoblasts are the cells that synthesize and secrete the organic matrix of dentin throughout life.

4. Obturation of a root canal is considered acceptable when:
✓ Fill material ends 0–2 mm short of the radiographic apex with no voids

Ideal obturation terminates 0–2 mm short of the radiographic apex (at the apical constriction) with well-adapted gutta-percha and minimal sealer without voids.

5. Residual ridge resorption after tooth extraction follows a pattern that is:
✓ Greater in the mandible in all dimensions

The mandibular ridge typically resorbs 4 times faster than the maxilla overall, and resorption is greater in all dimensions in the mandible, making mandibular dentures more challenging.

6. Which benzodiazepine is most commonly used for IV conscious sedation in dentistry?
✓ Midazolam

Midazolam is preferred for IV conscious sedation in dentistry due to its rapid onset, short duration, water solubility, and superior amnestic properties.

What Practice Test Geeks adds beyond an AI chat for INBDE

An AI chatbot can quiz you, but it can't reproduce the exam conditions or keep your record. Here you get:

  • A timed, full-length INBDE mock exam — 500 questions in 750 minutes with a 75% pass mark, modeled on the official exam's question count and time limit, followed by a score report broken down by exam domain.
  • A fixed INBDE question bank: the same test every attempt, so your score is comparable from one try to the next instead of changing with every regenerated quiz.
  • Progress saved on your device: completed tests, scores and missed questions stay in My Progress, so you can retake only what you got wrong.
  • A printable INBDE cheat sheet you can print or save as a PDF.
  • INBDE flashcards built from the same question bank.
  • Free INBDE practice tests with the correct answer shown after each question.
