State PSC PYQChronic hyperplastic candidiasis is distinct because it forms firm, persistent white plaques that cannot be easily wiped off with a gauze. Crucially, these lesions have the potential for epithelial dysplasia and malignant transformation, which is a key differentiating feature from other more common, easily removable forms of oral candidiasis like pseudomembranous candidiasis..

Boggy gums can be seen in both pregnancy and leukaemia.
Pregnancy: Hormonal changes during pregnancy can increase blood flow to the
gums, making them more sensitive, swollen, and prone to bleeding, which can be
described as boggy.
Leukaemia: In some forms of leukaemia, particularly acute myeloid leukaemia,
cancerous cells can infiltrate the gums, leading to swelling, bleeding, and a
boggy appearance.
Polycythaemia: While polycythaemia involves an increase in red blood cells, it
does not typically cause the characteristic boggy gum appearance in the same way
as pregnancy or leukaemia.

Community DentistryThe Simplified Oral Hygiene Index (OHI-S) is a tool used to assess oral hygiene status by evaluating specific tooth surfaces. The teeth mentioned in option 1 include the lingual surfaces of the lower first molars (36, 46) and the facial surfaces of the upper incisors and canines (11, 16, 26, 31). These surfaces are typically assessed because they are representative of overall oral hygiene and are commonly affected by plaque accumulation.
