When should the correction of occlusal prematurities be performed?
1 At the same time as soft tissue surgery
2 Before starting soft tissue therapy
3. Gross corrections should be done be- fore surgery and finer adjustments after surgery
4. After tissue healing, following surgery is completed
Periodontics
Answer: 3
Addressing significant occlusal prematurities prior to surgical intervention
prevents undue stress and facilitates proper healing, while finer adjustments
can be made post-surgically.1
Systemic conditions which can affect the health of the gingiva are
1. agranulocytos
2. leukemia
3. granulocytopenia
4. all of the above
Periodontics
Answer: 4
agranulocytosis, leukemia, and granulocytopenia—can significantly impact the
health of the gingiva by affecting the immune response and increasing
susceptibility to infections.
Stippling is seen on
1) Marginal gingiva
2) Attached gingiva
3) Interdental gingiva
4) None of the above
Periodontics
Answer: 2
Stippling is typically observed on the attached gingiva, indicating healthy
tissue.
Which of part of the instrument should remain parallel (whenever possible) to the long axis of the tooth?
1. Blade
2. Cutting edge
3. Handle
4. Shank
Periodontics
Answer: 4
The part of the instrument that should remain parallel to the long axis of the tooth is the shank.
Which is an example of non-graft associated regenerative technique
1. HTR polymer
2. Bioactive glass
3. Osseous coagulum
4. GTR
Periodontics
Answer: 4
GTR is an example of a non-graft associated regenerative technique.
The response to dental irritants is not likely to be altered by
1 cardiovascular disease
2. diabetes
3. pregnancy
4. steroid therapy
Periodontics
Answer: 1
While systemic conditions like diabetes, pregnancy, and steroid therapy can
significantly alter tissue responses to irritants, cardiovascular disease is
less likely to have a direct impact on local periodontal tissue responses.
Enzymes associated with connective tissue degradation in the periodontal are
1. hyaluronidase and chondroitinase
2. lipase and glycosyltransferase
3. renin and cytochrome oxidase
4. microsomal enzymes
Periodontics
Answer: 1
Hyaluronidase and chondroitinase are enzymes that play a role in the degradation of connective tissue components, including glycosaminoglycans in the periodontal tissues. These enzymes contribute to the breakdown of the extracellular matrix, which is significant in periodontal disease progression.
Gingival curettage is the treatment of choice for
1. globulomaxillary cyst
2. bleeding gingiva
3. inflamed swollen gingiva
4. fibrous gingiva
Periodontics
Answer: 3
Gingival curettage is a procedure used to remove inflamed and diseased tissue from the gingiva. It is particularly effective for treating inflamed swollen gingiva, as it helps to reduce inflammation and promote healing.
