Adoptive immunization involves the transfer of readymade immune cells, such as antibodies, from a donor to a recipient. Tetanus immunization is typically achieved through active immunization with the tetanus toxoid, which induces the body to produce its own antibodies against the tetanus toxin. Passive immunization, on the other hand, is achieved by injecting tetanus antitoxin, which provides immediate but temporary protection by neutralizing the toxin in the recipients body. The statement is incorrect because tetanus toxoid is used for active immunization, not adoptive immunization.

When a tooth has been out of function for an extended period, it can experience changes in the periodontal ligament that supports it. The periodontal ligament is a fibrous connective tissue that connects the tooth to the bone and allows for a certain degree of movement. This movement is essential for the health of the ligament and the surrounding tissues. When a tooth is no longer subjected to the normal forces of biting and chewing, the periodontal ligament fibres can become weak or atrophied.
When this tooth is then used as an abutment for a fixed partial denture (FPD), it is once again exposed to the functional stresses that were previously absent. These stresses can cause traction on the periodontal ligament fibres, leading to pain and discomfort. The pain is mainly due to the sudden reintroduction of forces to the ligament that it is not accustomed to handling.

The primary cells that characterize eosinophilic granuloma are histiocytes.

Cervical abrasion is often caused by improper brushing techniques, particularly horizontal brushing, which can wear away the enamel and dentin at the cervical area of the teeth.

The elastic limit, also known as the yield strength, is the point at which a wire starts to undergo permanent deformation. When a wire is deflected beyond this point, it does not return to its original shape completely.
