1. Prevent osseous regeneration
2. Prevent connective tissue attachment
3. To prevent formation of long junctional epithelium
4. All of the above
Periodontics
Answer: 3
Gore Tex membrane is used during reattachment procedures to prevent the formation of long junctional epithelium.
Reattachment procedures most commonly
1. Reduce pocket depth by formation of long junctional epithelium
2. Reduce pocket depth by reattching periodontal connective tissue fibers
3. Usually heal by secondary intention
4. None of the above
Periodontics
Answer: 1
Reattachment procedures most commonly reduce pocket depth by formation of long junctional epithelium.
ANUG patients will have higher levels of one of the following is urine
1. Calcium
2. Bilirubin
3. Free cortisol
4. Glucose
Periodontics
Answer: 3
ANUG patients will have higher levels of free cortisol in urine.
Efficient way of calculus removal is
1) A relaxed instrument grasp and light lateral working strokes
2) A tight instrument grasp and light lateral working strokes
3) A tight instrument grasp and firm lateral working strokes
4) None of the above
Periodontics
Answer: 3
Explanation:
For effective calculus removal, a tight instrument grasp combined with firm lateral working strokes is essential. This technique allows for better control and application of force, which is necessary to effectively dislodge calculus from the tooth surface.
Which of the following is the main constituent of plaque?
1. Calcium and phosphorus
2. Water
3. Microorganisms
4. Glycoproteins and monosaccharides
Periodontics
Answer: 3
Dental plaque is primarily made up of microbial communities, which play a
significant role in the development of dental diseases like caries and
periodontal disease.
Treatment of necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis includes
1. penicillin therapy and dietary counselling
2. mouthwash and analgesics
3. debridement and oral hygiene instructions
4. analgesics and antibiotics
Periodontics
Answer: 3
The treatment for necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG) typically involves debridement to remove necrotic tissue and improve oral hygiene. Providing oral hygiene instructions is also crucial to prevent recurrence.
A loosely adherent yellowish-white mass of cellular debris and microorganisms
on the teeth is termed
1. oral deposit
2. materia alba
3. dental plaque
4. salivary pellicle
Periodontics Answer: 2
Milky white, soft, and visible to the naked eye, Lacks the organized structure of dental plaquecomposed of Food debris, bacteria, dead tissue cells, leukocytes, and salivary proteins
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.
