Which of the following is more common in children
1) Gingivitis
2) Periodontitis
3) ANUG
4) Pericoronitis
Pedodontics
Answer: 1
Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums that is more common in children due to poor oral hygiene and accumulation of dental plaque. Periodontitis, on the other hand, is a more severe form of gum disease that typically occurs in adults due to prolonged or severe gingivitis. ANUG (Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis) is a specific type of severe gingival infection that is less common in children than gingivitis, and pericoronitis is an infection that occurs around the gum flap when a tooth is partially erupted, which is more common in teenagers and young adults.
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
Pedodontics
Answer: 4
The early effect of primary trauma from occlusion is hemorrhage and thrombosis of blood vessels in the periodontal ligament.

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.
