4. Adult periodontitis
Periodontics
Answer: 1
Crater-like gingival deformities are seen in ANUG.
Vestibular extension procedure results in
1. Increase in width of keratinised attached gingiva
2. Decrease in width of keratinised attached gingiva
3. Increase in width of non-keratinised attached gingiva
4. Decrease in width of non-keratinised attached gingiva
Periodontics
Answer: 3
Vestibular extension procedure results in an increase in width of non-keratinised
attached gingiva
The vestibular extension procedure is a surgical treatment that involves the
apical movement of the vestibular mucosal tissue to increase the width of
attached gingival tissue around a tooth. This procedure typically does not alter
the width of the keratinized attached gingiva, which is the tissue that is
directly connected to the tooth surface. Instead, it primarily increases the
non-keratinized attached gingival width, which is the part of the gingival
tissue that is not directly attached to the tooth but is still important for
periodontal health and aesthetics.
Pyogenic granuloma is
1. Granulation tissue overgrowth
2. Capillary haemangioma
3. Sarcoidosis
4. Tuberculoid leprosy
Periodontics
Answer: 1
Pyogenic granuloma is a granulation tissue overgrowth.
Which of the following represents early effect of primary trauma from occlusion
1) Vertical pockets
2) Generalized alveolar bone loss
3) Undermining resorption
4) Haemorrhage and thrombosis of blood vessels in PD ligament
Periodontics
Answer: 4
The early effects of primary trauma from occlusion can include hemorrhage and thrombosis in the periodontal ligament, leading to inflammation and potential tissue damage.
Following the application of disclosing solution on teeth, a patient can remove plaque most effectively by using
1. dental floss
2. a strong mouthwash
3. a water irrigating device
4. a soft bristle brush
Periodontics
Answer: 4
A soft bristle brush is the most effective tool for removing plaque after the application of a disclosing solution. It allows for thorough cleaning of the tooth surfaces, including areas that may be difficult to reach with other methods.
Slight gingival recession on normally placed canine is noted due to inflammation. After through scaling and root planing it is free of inflammation. Treatment of choice
1) Laterally positioned graft
2) Free gingival graft
3) Coronally displaced graft
4) Maintenance and recall visits
Periodontics
Answer: 4
1) Laterally positioned graft: This technique is used when there is a loss of
interdental papilla, which may occur due to periodontal disease or trauma.
2) Free gingival graft: This involves the transfer of a piece of tissue from the
palate to the affected area to cover the exposed root surface and increase the
zone of attached gingival tissue.
3) Coronally displaced graft: This technique involves moving the existing
gingival tissue coronally over the exposed root to cover it.
4) Maintenance and recall visits: After the resolution of inflammation through
scaling and root planing, if the recession is minimal and the tooth is not at
risk of further damage, regular maintenance and recall visits may be sufficient
to monitor the area.
Since the question mentions that the tooth is normally placed and the issue is
resolved after scaling and root planing, the correct answer is 4) Maintenance
and recall visits to ensure the area remains healthy and monitor for any
recurrence of recession.
A hemiseptum is
1. one-wall defect
2. two-wall defect
3. three-wall defect
4. angular defect
Periodontics
Answer: 1
A hemiseptum refers to a periodontal defect with only one wall remaining, often
seen in sites of periodontal bone loss.
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is used mainly in the treatment of
1. Class I furcations
2. Class II furcations
3. Class III furcations
4. All of the above
Periodontics
Answer: 2
Guided tissue regeneration (GTR) is used mainly in the treatment of Class II furcations.
