Though in typical lefortI moon face is not seen. But

some times odema may occur. where as in
zygomatic complex fractures this fullness is lost in
the face and definitely moon facies is not present in
isolated zygomatic fractures

Oral 432 139. D—none of the above Ans is A—only the first statement is correct and
surgery hence the correct answer

B and C are false statements. Diploplia resolves it

self and we have to wait and watch and see

Surgery to prevent enophthalmos should probably

be discouraged, since it is impossible to predict who
will develop enophthalmos and how enophthalmos
will affect the patient (i.e., the patient may not be
bothered by it). Furthermore, studies support the
notion that enophthalmos is corrected equally well
when addressed several weeks after an injury when
compared to repair within the “two week window.”
 Surgery is indicated if
• Enophthalmos greater than 2mm
• Double vision on primary or inferior gaze
• Entrapment of extraocular muscles
• Fracture greater than 50% of the orbital floor

difference in terminology used by authors is different.
So in kar-2009 paper, it is given as interruptive force is
produced by the headhears and face masks

I have gone through some 4-5 books now and I found

everybody is following the profit now and I think the
answer should be intermittent for headgears

Let us refresh our knowledge

Any force that falls abrupt to zero is called an
intermittent force. This is possible with the appliances
that are removed from the mouth . All the removable
appliances including active plates( screws),
headgears, myofunctional appliances are all
intermittent in nature.

Any force that declines to zero before activations is

called interruptive.

If we go still deep- frankly speaking a screw produces

 interuptive forces that is once you activate a screw and
keep it in the mouth and following tooth movements,
after some time, the screw exerts no force at all. Now
at this point of time it has to be reactivated.

Now again if a screw is used as removable appliance it

becomes intermittent. If removable-it is intermittent and
nothing is mentioned it is interruptivei

According to Mc Cracken's 12th ed.

chapter 5 The following are the principal
objections to use of the U-shaped
connector:

1. Its lack of rigidity (compared with

other designs) can allow lateral
flexure under occlusal forces,
which may
induce torque or direct lateral force
to abutment teeth.
2. The design fails to provide good
support characteristics and may
permit impingement of underlying
tissue
when subjected to occlusal loading.
3. Bulk to enhance rigidity results in
increased thickness in areas that
are a hindrance to the
tongue......Without sufficient bulk,
the U-shaped design leads to
increased flexibility and movement
at the open ends, and so the
stability is compromised

Community 1484 6. Ans D- Health for all Ans is C-Social engineering

Four phases could be demarcated:

Phase one: Disease control phase (1880-

1920):Public Health during the 19th century was
a matter of sanitary legislation and sanitary
reform aimed at the control of human physical
environment e.g. safe water supply and waste
disposal.

Phase two: Health promotional phase (1921-

1960); At the beginning of the 20th century the
concept of health promotion emerged. As a
result, in addition to disease control activities,
one more goal was initiated as personal health
service e.g. MCH, school health mental health,
occupational health, and rehabilitation services.

Phase three: Social engineering phase (1961-

1980):

With advances of preventive medicine and

practice of public health, the pattern of disease
began to change in the developed countries;
many of the acute health problems have been
under control, however chronic conditions such
as cancers, Diabetes mellitus (DM),
cardiovascular diseases (CVD), and alcoholism
and drug addiction occurred. These chronic
health problems could not be tackled by the
traditional approaches to public health (i.e.
isolation, immunization and disinfection) nor
they can be explained on basis of the germ
theory (biomedical) of disease). The concept of
risk factors (social, environmental, genetic and
lifestyle) came into action as determinants of
disease.

Phase four: Primary Health Care (PHC),

Health for All (HFA) 2000 (1981-2000) phase.

The unequality of health care in developed and

developing countries made WHO experts to
meet at Al-Mata in 1981, and to come out with
the declaration HFA 2000. This declaration aims
at attainment of a health level that permits all
 people to lead a socially and economically
productive life. HFA2000 does not mean
absence of disease, it means health service
should be available, accessible and affordable
to all people, and it should be scientifically
sound.
