Pharmacology questions in the ADC written exam test applied prescribing decisions, not rote recall of drug names. This exam-level vignette tests your ability to work through clinical details and arrive at the correct management.
A 17-year-old male presents for the first time. He has no restorations except for one filling placed a year ago on his lower right first molar, which has since fallen out. On examination, a small occlusal cavity is visible on the mandibular right second molar. All other occlusal surfaces appear clinically intact. Based on this presentation, which statement about the caries status of his remaining molars is most accurate?
- A. The intact occlusal surfaces can be considered caries-free on clinical examination
- B. Bitewing radiographs are likely to reveal the true extent of occlusal caries
- C. The remaining molars are likely to have undetected occlusal caries despite appearing sound
- D. Fissure sealants should be placed on all clinically intact surfaces to prevent future caries

Show the answer and cited explanation
In adolescents, occlusal caries starts on the fissure walls and is obscured by sound superficial enamel. Lesions cavitate late — if at all — because fluoride exposure reinforces the overlying enamel. The small visible cavity on the second molar is a red flag: it suggests the fissure pattern across this patient's molars is susceptible, and other molars are likely to harbour hidden occlusal lesions.
