Which image error is shown below?
A. Chin too high 16%
B. Chin too low 3%
C. Tongue not against palate 9%
D. Too far backwards 31%
Incorrect. This would cause the anterior teeth to be larger and wider than normal.
E. Too far forwards 41%
Correct. The patient is positioned too far forwards, causing the central incisors to be small and fuzzy and the cervical spine to be superimposed over the mandible.
Dental Materials
In comparison to the other curves shown on the graph, curve C is most characteristic of what type of material?
A. Polymer 10%
B. Strong ceramic 10%
C. Strong metal 31%
Incorrect. D and C show relatively high stiffness (steep gradient) with ductility (lots of strain), suggesting they are metals. D has the higher ultimate tensile strength, making D the strong metal.
D. Weak ceramic 6%
E. Weak metal 43%
Correct. C and D show relatively high stiffness (steep gradient) with ductility (lots of strain), suggesting they are metals. C has a lower ultimate tensile strength, making it the weak metal.

Clinical Features
Amelogenesis imperfecta is a group of inherited conditions affecting enamel formation. It causes generalised abnormalities in enamel quantity, quality or maturation, and characteristically affects all or nearly all teeth in both dentitions.
Reduced amount of enamel: thin, pitted or grooved
Near normal thickness but weak enamel: opaque white or brown patches
Normal matrix, poor mineralisation: soft, chalky enamel
