PeriodonticsBone graft procedures are most successful in treating narrow three-wall defects. These are defects that extend from the crest of the alveolar bone to the alveolar crest and involve only one surface of the tooth root. The success of a bone graft in such cases is due to the presence of three walls of intact bone that can provide stability and support for the graft material, allowing for predictable and effective regeneration of the missing bone tissue.

General MicrobiologyThe Paul-Bunnel test is a classic heterophile antibody test used to diagnose infectious mononucleosis, primarily caused by Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). It detects heterophile antibodies that are typically present in patients with this condition. While ELISA and other tests can also be used, the Paul-Bunnel test is historically significant and widely recognized for this diagnosis.

Public Health DentistryThe CPITN (Community Periodontal Index of Treatment Needs) probe has a
ball-ended periodontal probe with a diameter of 0.5 mm. The markings at 3.5,
5.5, 8.5, and 11 mm are used to assess the depth of the periodontal pockets in
the gingival sulcus. This probe is designed to evaluate the periodontal health
and treatment needs of a community and is commonly used in epidemiological
studies.
