This file is for Oral Surgery for Membership of the
Faculty of Dentistry of the Royal College of
Surgeons in Ireland Part 2 Exam.
Sources for MFD Part 2 Exam depends mainly on
candidates' feedback and there are no pictures
associated with the feedback. So, I tried to make a
more useful feedback by adding pictures that
match the questions.
NOTE: I added pictures in station 13 which are
different from the previously added pictures in my
(questions file) for Oral Surgery for more
illustration for the question.

MFD Part 2, November 2011, Dublin
Station 2
Picture 1
OPG, upper occlusal and 2 periapical views of the upper anterior teeth showing
impacted upper canines.
1. Name of this technique?
Parallex Technique.
NOTE:
There are two types of parallex technique :
1.Horizontal Parallex Technique.
This technique includes moving the tube head in a horizontal direction mesially or
distally as in the pictures using the SLOB Technique (Same Lingual Opposite
Buccal) as below:
2.Vertical Parallex Technique
This technique includes moving the tube head in a horizontal direction upward or
downward as in the pictures using the SLOB Technique (Same Lingual Opposite
Buccal) as below:
2. Describe how is upper occlusal radiograph is taken?
1. The patient is seated with the head supported and with the occlusal plane
horizontal and parallel to the floor and is asked to support a protective thyroid
shield.
2. The image receptor, suitably barrier wrapped, is placed flat into the mouth on
to the occlusal surfaces of the lower teeth. The patient is asked to bite together
gently. The image receptor is placed centrally in the mouth with its long axis
crossways in adults and anteroposteriorly in children.
3. The X-ray tube head is positioned above the patient in the midline, aiming
downwards through the bridge of the nose at an angle of 65–70° to the image
receptor.
NOTE
Illustrating Pictures for the upper occlusal technique:
A Diagram showing the position of the image receptor in relation to the lower
arch.
B Positioning from the front; note the use of the protective thyroid shield.
C Positioning from the side.
D Diagram showing the positioning from the side.
Example of the resulting upper occlusal radiograph.

Station 3
X-ray Radiograph showing lower posterior radiolucent lesion.

1. Name of the X-ray view?
Lateral Oblique View.
2. What are the two most likely differential Diagnosis?
1. Ameloblastoma.
2. Odontogenic Myxoma.
3. Describe the lesion?
This is a lateral oblique view of a radiolucent lesion in the left posterior area of
the mandible extending mesiodistally from the lower left second premolar to the
anterior border of the left ramus of the mandible. It has a multilocular
appearance and a well-defined margin.
NOTE : Regarding lesion description you can add any other information, such as,
the size of a lesion. For example, you can measure the size of a lesion with a ruler
and write its size is roughly (3cm*3cm), but you have to pay attention to the time
factor during the exam so as not to experience a lack of time for the other
questions.
4. Choose one lesion from what you wrote above and describe how does the
lesion occur?
1. Ameloblastoma: It may arise from epithelial lining of dentigerous cyst. The
earliest evidence of transformation is characterized by: polarization of basal cells,
superior displacement of nuclei, hyperchromatism and cytoplasmic vacuolization.
Slender tube –like rete ridges extends into the fibrous wall and the overlying
spinous layer resembles stellate reticulum. When the bulk of the tumor protrudes
luminally, the designation luminal ameloblastoma is used. When the majority of
the tumor cells invade the fibrous wall, the term mural ameloblastoma is used.
The term unicystic ameloblastoma applies to those lesions in which the
ameloblasts line the entire cyst lining.
2. Odontogenic Myxoma: It occurs in both hard and soft tissue. Those arising in
the jaws are tumors of odontogenic mesenchyme. This is a tumor of young adults
arising within bone and can invade the surrounding tissue extensively.
--------------------------------------------------
MFD Part 2 Dublin November 2012

1. Mention the impacted lower 8 angulation in each x-ray.

View 1 : Horizontal/Transverse (Buccally Oblique) Impaction
View 2 : Horizontal/Transverse (Lingually Oblique) Impaction
View 3 : Vertical Impaction of lower 8
View 4 : Mesioangular Impaction of lower 8
View 5 : Horizontal/Transverse Impaction of lower 8
View 6 : Distoangular Impaction of lower 8
2. Which one is the most difficult type of impaction and which one is the
easiest according to the x-ray radiographs?
The most difficult type : Distoangular
The easiest one : Mesioangular
3. Which one is the closest to the inferior alveolar canal?

Mesioangular type of impaction is the closest one.
According to US National Library of Medicine
4. What is the other way of treatment other than the conventional Surgical
Removal?
1. Impacted third molar tooth can be moved coronally by orthodontic
extrusion after removal of overlying bone and it can be then safely

extracted.
This way of treatment can used if the impacted third molar apex is
located in or in close proximity to the inferior alveolar canal to
reduce the risk of inferior alveolar nerve injury.
2. Coronectomy : which means removal of the impacted tooth crown

and tooth root is left undisturbed. This way of treatment is
recommended to be done in teeth with no infection or mobility.
Also, teeth with horizontal impaction should be excluded from this
kind of treatment because tooth sectioning can endanger the inferior
alveolar nerve.
3. Novel Surgical Technique : This approach consisted of the surgical

removal of the mesial portion of the anatomic crown to create
adequate space for mesial third molar migration. After the migration
of the third molar had taken place, the extraction could then be
accomplished in a second surgical session minimizing neurological
risks.
5. What are the radiographic and clinical signs of third molar proximity to
the inferior alveolar canal?
The Radiographic signs :
1. Darkening of the roots.
2. Deflected tooth roots.
3. Interruption of the one or two white lines of the inferior alveolar
canal.
The Clinical Sign :
Third molar proximity to the inferior alveolar nerve can lead to inferior
alveolar nerve damage which can cause post-operative sensory
disturbances.

2. What are the uses of this type of radiograph? Mention 4.
1. Surgical Planning for impacted teeth.
2. Accurate placement of dental implants.
3. Determining bone structure and tooth orientation.
4. Bilateral TMJ Assessment.
3. What is the possible cause of impaction?
Over retained deciduous teeth and arch Length tooth size
discrepancy.
4. How will you treat it?
1. Extraction of over retained deciduous teeth.
2. Exposure to the impacted canine.
3. Orthodontic alignment of the impacted
maxillary canines.
5. What is the complication of doing surgery in this area?
Sectioning of the palatine artery due to 90 degree incision of the
palate to the gingival crevice.
NOTE : To avoid this complication use always an envelope flap.
