#1 State PSC PYQ
A zygomatic complex fracture, which involves the separation of the zygoma from its adjacent bones, often presents with a palpable step deformity along the infraorbital rim. This deformity is a key physical sign of the bone displacement. Battle's sign (bruising behind the ear) is typically associated with a base of skull fracture, not a zygomatic one. A deviated nasal septum relates to nasal injuries. Crepitus in the frontal bone is indicative of a frontal bone fracture.

Aggressive periodontitis is characterized by rapid attachment loss and bone destruction, but the amount of microbial deposits (plaque and calculus) is typically inconsistent with the severity of the destruction, often appearing minimal. The other options (deep pockets in all areas, increased mobility without clinical signs, widespread gingival recession) are general signs of periodontal disease but not specific diagnostic features that differentiate aggressive from chronic forms.
Tap for Question
Answer
Which of the following is a diagnostic feature of aggressive periodontitis?
1) Severe bone loss with minimal plaque accumulation
2) Presence of deep pockets in all areas
3) Increased mobility of teeth without clinical signs
4) Widespread gingival recession

A sanitary pontic is the most appropriate design for a flat ridge and ease of cleansing because it has a minimal or no contact with the underlying ridge, allowing for easy cleaning with dental floss or other hygiene aids. This design minimizes plaque accumulation and inflammation, making it suitable for areas where esthetics are not a primary concern, such as posterior regions. 
Tap for Question
Answer

Which pontic design is most appropriate for a patient with a flat ridge and ease of cleansing?

  1. Ovale pontic
  2. Conical pontic
  3. Sanitary pontic

2) Irreversible index
3) Disease index
4) Definitive index
