Sample Saber Pro Odontología Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Saber Pro Odontología exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1A 20-month-old is brought to the odontólogo general. The historia clínica records nightly bottle feeding with milk until the child falls asleep. Intraoral exam shows cavitated lesions on the maxillary primary incisors and first primary molars; the mandibular incisors are almost spared. Which impression diagnostic is most consistent with this pattern in the sistema estomatognático?
A.Early childhood caries associated with prolonged night feeding
B.Generalized enamel hypoplasia from a neonatal fever
C.Dental fluorosis from swallowing adult toothpaste
D.Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis limited to the upper arch
Explanation: Early childhood caries (ECC) is the presence of one or more decayed, missing due to caries, or filled primary-tooth surfaces in a child 71 months of age or younger. Night bottle feeding bathes maxillary incisors in fermentable carbohydrate while the tongue often protects mandibular incisors, producing this classic pattern. The odontólogo general integrates feeding history with the lesion distribution rather than labeling every white or brown change as fluorosis or hypoplasia.
2A 28-year-old reports brief sharp pain in tooth 26 when drinking cold water. The historia clínica shows no nocturnal pain and no lingering after the stimulus is removed. Cold testing reproduces a 2-second response identical to the contralateral premolar; percussion is negative. Which diagnostic impression is most appropriate?
A.Pulp necrosis with chronic apical abscess
B.Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis
C.Reversible pulpitis associated with a carious lesion
D.Acute apical abscess
Explanation: Reversible pulpitis is provoked, short, and does not linger or wake the patient. Integrating the historia clínica with a normal-duration cold response and a negative percussion test points to an inflamed but salvageable pulp, usually from caries or a leaking restoration. The odontólogo general treats the cause rather than assuming the need for endodontics.
3A 52-year-old smoker’s historia clínica lists bleeding on brushing for years. Probing depths are 5–6 mm with 3–4 mm clinical attachment loss on several posterior teeth and bleeding on probing. There is no pain. Which diagnosis of the periodontium is most accurate?
A.Plaque-induced gingivitis without attachment loss
B.Periodontitis based on clinical attachment loss and probing depth
C.Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
D.Pericoronitis of a partially erupted third molar
Explanation: Periodontitis is diagnosed when inflammation is accompanied by detectable clinical attachment loss, not by bleeding alone. The historia clínica of chronic bleeding plus 3–4 mm CAL and 5–6 mm pockets places this patient beyond gingivitis. Smoking is a risk modifier but does not change the core periodontal diagnosis.
4A 26-year-old in the second trimester reports gingival bleeding that began after she became pregnant. The historia clínica shows previously stable gums. Exam reveals generalized erythematous, swollen papillae with plaque and no attachment loss. Which impression diagnostic is most likely?
A.Desquamative gingivitis from mucous membrane pemphigoid
B.Drug-induced gingival overgrowth from nifedipine
C.Leukemic gingival infiltrate
D.Pregnancy-associated gingivitis of the sistema estomatognático
Explanation: Pregnancy-associated gingivitis is a plaque-induced inflammatory response amplified by hormonal change, typically without new attachment loss. The historia clínica that bleeding started in pregnancy and the absence of CAL support this impression. The odontólogo general still treats plaque; hormones explain the exaggerated response, they do not replace biofilm control.
5A 70-year-old complete-denture wearer presents with creamy white plaques on the palate and buccal mucosa. The historia clínica notes recent broad-spectrum antibiotics. The plaques wipe away and leave an erythematous base. Which diagnostic impression is most consistent?
A.Pseudomembranous candidiasis
B.Homogeneous leukoplakia
C.Oral hairy leukoplakia
D.Lichen planus, reticular type
Explanation: Pseudomembranous candidiasis produces wipeable white plaques over an erythematous base, often after antibiotics, inhaled steroids, dentures, or immunosuppression. Leukoplakia and hairy leukoplakia do not wipe off. The odontólogo general uses this bedside test from the historia clínica and exam before labeling a lesion as a potentially malignant disorder.
6A 35-year-old describes spontaneous nocturnal pain in tooth 46 that lingers more than 30 seconds after cold. Ibuprofen helps only briefly. Cold testing on 46 produces a prolonged, referred ache to the ear; percussion is mildly tender. Which pulpal diagnosis best integrates this historia clínica?
A.Reversible pulpitis
B.Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis
C.Pulp necrosis without apical involvement
D.Cracked tooth with a vital asymptomatic pulp
Explanation: Lingering thermal pain, spontaneous or nocturnal episodes, and referred pain indicate symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. The pulp cannot be expected to return to health after a simple restoration. Percussion tenderness may add symptomatic apical periodontitis but does not reverse the pulpal diagnosis.
7A 40-year-old says tooth 21 “died” after a blow two years ago and now shows a small buccal pimple that sometimes drains. The tooth is gray, not tender, and does not respond to cold; adjacent teeth respond normally. Which diagnostic impression is most accurate?
A.Reversible pulpitis of 21
B.Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis
C.Acute apical abscess with cellulitis
D.Pulp necrosis with chronic apical abscess (sinus tract)
Explanation: No thermal response, gray discoloration after trauma, and a draining sinus tract indicate necrosis with chronic apical abscess. Pain is often minimal because the tract decompresses the area. The odontólogo general links the trauma historia clínica to the present nonvital, draining incisor.
8A 9-year-old from a community with historically high water fluoride has bilateral, symmetric white opacities on all permanent incisors and first molars, without crown shape change. There is no fever-in-infancy story that would mark a thin chronologic band. Which developmental diagnosis is most consistent?
A.Dental fluorosis (qualitative enamel defect)
B.Localized Turner hypoplasia of a single premolar
C.Amelogenesis imperfecta, hypoplastic type affecting only 11
D.White-spot caries confined to the cervical third of 11
Explanation: Fluorosis is a qualitative enamel defect from excess fluoride during formation. It is typically bilateral and symmetric and may affect all teeth forming at the exposure period. The historia clínica of high fluoride exposure plus symmetric opacities without missing enamel bulk distinguishes fluorosis from hypoplasia.
9A 14-year-old’s historia clínica includes mouth breathing and a large overjet. The mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first molar occludes mesial to the buccal groove of the mandibular first molar, with a 7 mm overjet. Which occlusal diagnosis of the sistema estomatognático is most accurate?
A.Angle Class I with an anterior open bite only
B.Angle Class III with reverse overjet
C.Angle Class II malocclusion with increased overjet
D.Unilateral posterior crossbite without molar classification
Explanation: Angle Class II is defined by the maxillary first-molar mesiobuccal cusp occluding mesial to the mandibular buccal groove. A 7 mm overjet is a typical associated finding in a Class II division 1 pattern. The odontólogo general records molar class and overjet from the exam, not from the patient’s complaint of “crooked teeth” alone.
10A 45-year-old reports pain in a heavily restored 36 that occurs when biting a grain and is worst on release of pressure. Cold does not linger. The historia clínica has no nocturnal spontaneous pain. Which diagnostic impression is most likely?
A.Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis
B.Cracked tooth (cracked-tooth syndrome)
C.Pulp necrosis with acute apical abscess
D.Referred pain from maxillary sinusitis
Explanation: Pain on biting, especially on release, in a restored posterior tooth is the classic historia of a crack. Thermal tests may be normal or briefly sharp, unlike lingering irreversible pulpitis. The odontólogo general should look for a crack with transillumination and bite testing rather than jumping to endodontics or sinus disease.

About the Saber Pro Odontología Exam

The ICFES module Diagnóstico y Tratamiento en Salud Oral is the Saber Pro specific-competency module unique to SNIES NBC Odontología. It is part of the Examen de Estado de la Calidad de la Educación Superior under Ley 1324 de 2009, not a professional-licensure exam and not a single exam named “Saber Pro Odontología.” ICFES’s 2026-2 combinatoria table assigns combinatoria 47 as this module plus Atención en Salud plus Promoción de la Salud y Prevención de la Enfermedad; combinatoria 0 is generics only. The 2026-2 guide specifies 50 Spanish single-answer multiple-choice items. Tabla 3 weights diagnosis of prevalent pathologies of the sistema estomatognático across age groups at 60% (historia clínica, complementary exams, oral–systemic interrelations) and treatment that restores oral health from everyday odontólogo general cases at 40% (basic treatments and preventive measures). This free bank is an English-language four-option MCQ study adaptation of the official afirmaciones — not an official ICFES translation, not a Spanish-booklet simulation, and not a substitute for Atención en Salud, Promoción de la Salud, the generic sitting, or clinical dentistry.

Saber Pro Odontología Study Tips from Top Performers

1Follow the published 60%/40% split: more time on diagnosis (history, complementary exams, oral–systemic links) than on treatment lists.
2ICFES wants odontólogo general everyday cases — caries, pulp, periodontal disease, trauma, prevention — not rare subspecialty surgery.
3Evidencia 1.3 scores oral–systemic links (diabetes, pregnancy, endocarditis risk). Do not treat the mouth as isolated from the patient.
4Prevention (evidencia 2.2) is part of the 40% treatment afirmación, not an extra unofficial topic.
5These MCQs are an English study aid. Practise also with ICFES's Spanish cuadernillos so the official language and stem style are not a surprise.
