1. Amoxycillin
2. Tetracycline fibres
3. Cephalexin
4. Metronidazole

Occlusal trauma may be best defined as a condition caused due to
1. The pressure on teeth due to lack of proper arch alignment
2. Failure of occlusal balance bilaterally
3. The force or the pressure beyond the physiological limits to the periodontium
4. None of the above
Pedodontics
Answer: 3
Occlusal trauma is defined as tissue changes in the periodontium from abnormal occlusal forces.
Classification of bony defects most helpful in determining the likelihood of repair after periodontal treatment is based on (or) Angular bone defects are classified based on
1. Depth of bone defect
2. Number of bone walls remaining
3. Distance between the facial, ingual walls
4. None of the above
Pedodontics
Answer: 2

Identify the wrong statement regarding true except
1. Association with gingivitis
2. Associated with periodontitis
3. May not cause bleeding on probing
4. None of the above
Pedodontics
Answer: 1
Gingivitis is typically associated with plaque-induced inflammation of the gingiva, but not all gingival lesions directly correlate with other periodontal conditions like periodontitis or specific non-bleeding phenomena.
Clinical changes that may be apparent after scaling and root planning
1. Gain in attachment and reduction of pocket depth
2. Reduction in inflammation and pocket depth
3. Both A and B
4. None of A and B
Pedodontics
Answer: 2
Reduction in inflammation and pocket depth is a clinical change that may be apparent after scaling and root planing.
In periodontal diseases, alveolar bone loss is the result of
1. Both apposition and resorption
2. Apposition only
3. Resorption only
4. None of the above
Pedodontics
Answer: 4
In periodontal diseases, alveolar bone loss is the result of both apposition and resorption.
A light bluish dome-shaped lesion on the inside of a lip of 2 year-old-child is
1) Mucocele
2) Haematoma
3) Melanoma
4) Haemangioma
Pedodontics
Answer: 1
A mucocele is a common, benign lesion that occurs due to the blockage or rupture of a salivary gland duct, leading to the accumulation of mucous. In children, they often appear as dome-shaped, soft, bluish swellings on the lips or oral mucosa. Other options such as hematoma, melanoma, and hemangioma typically present differently and are less likely to occur in this specific context.
