Head shape in Down"s syndrome is typically
1) Mesocephalic
2) Dolicocephalic
3) Brachycephalic
4) Acephalic
Pedodontics
Answer: 3
Head shape in Down's syndrome is typically brachycephalic.
Explanation: Down's syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder that can lead to a range of physical and developmental characteristics. One of the common features of individuals with Down's syndrome is a brachycephalic head shape. Brachycephaly is a condition where the head appears relatively broad and short, with the breadth being disproportionately greater than the length. This characteristic is due to the premature fusion of certain skull sutures, which can also result in a flattened facial profile and a shortened neck. While the head shape is not a definitive diagnostic feature, it is often present in those with the condition.
Window-shaped alveolar defect on labial alveolar bone is called
1. Dehiscence

Signs of TFO (trauma from occlusion) are all of the following except
1. Mobility of teeth
2. Loss of attachment and formation of pockets
3. Widening of the periodontal ligament
4. Migration of teeth
Pedodontics
Answer: 2
Loss of attachment and formation of pockets is not a sign of trauma from occlusion.
Loss of attachment will be equal to pocket depth when
1. Gigival margin is at cementoenamel junction
2. Gigival margin is 2 mm coronal to CEJ
3. Gigival margin is 2 mm apical to CEJ
4. Epethelial attachment is at CEJ but depth of pocket is increased
Pedodontics
Answer: 1
Loss of attachment will be equal to pocket depth when the gingival margin is at the cementoenamel junction.
