The principal advantage of functional type of space maintainer is
1) It is removable
2) Replaces the tooth/teeth
3) Prevents mescal drift of the permanent molar
4) Prevents supraeruption of the teeth of the opposing arch
Pedodontics Answer: 4

Functional space maintainers are typically made to be removable for ease of cleaning and adjustment, which is essential for the patient's oral hygiene and the overall success of the treatment. While they also replace the tooth/teeth and prevent mesial drift and supraeruption of teeth from the opposing arch, the key advantage is their ability to maintain function and promote proper eruption of the permanent teeth.

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.

In which of the following, true pocket formation cannot occur 
 1. ANUG
 2. Adult periodontitis

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

The electronic probing system "Foster-miller probe" detects 
 1. Only the pocket depth
 2. Only the CEJ
 3. CEJ and pocket depth
 4. Furcation involvement
Pedodontics Answer: 3

The electronic probing system "Foster-Miller probe" detects CEJ and pocket depth.

 3. Curve of Spee
 4. Pleasure curve
Pedodontics Answer: 4

The occlusal line produced due to reversal of cuspal inclines in bruxism patients is called the pleasure curve.
