What are periodontal diseases?
Gingivitis and Periodontitis
What is a classification of periodontal disease that is described as a bacterial
infection of all of the parts of the periodontium?
Periodontitis
What are examples of periodontal diseases?
Dental plaque- induced gingival diseases, gingival disease modified by medications and
chronic periodontitis
What is a classification of periodontal disease that is described as a group of
periodontal diseases that are associated with (1) hematological disorders and (2)
genetic disorders?
Periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic disease
What is a classification of periodontal disease that is described as a group of
periodontal diseases that could be associated with ascorbic acid deficiency?
Plaque-induced gingival disease modified by malnutrition
A papilla that is enlarged and appears to bulge out of the interproximal space is
called:
Bulbous
Papilla that appears to have been "scooped" out leaving a concave depression in
the mid proximal area is called:
Cratered
In gingivitis, the position of the gingival margin is:
coronal to the CEJ
A person's complexion can determine the shade of pink in healthy tissues. (true
or false)
True
If gingival tissues are healthy they will ALWAYS have a stippled appearance. (true
of false)
False
Gingivitis in which the inflammation affects only one group of teeth is termed:
localized gingivitis
Inflammation of the gingival margin, papilla and attached gingiva may be
classified as:
Diffuse
Periodontal diseases involving inflammation limited to the gingiva in response to
dental plaque are termed:
Plaque-induced gingival diseases
What is more common...plaque-induced gingival diseases or non-plaque
induced?
Plaque-induced gingival diseases
, Gingivitis that has existed for years without progressing to periodontitis is
termed:
chronic gingivitis
Redness, swelling, bleeding and tenderness of the gingiva in response to dental
plaque only are clinical signs of what type of gingival diseases?
Plaque-induced gingival diseases
Gingivitis as a result of an exaggerated inflammatory response to relatively small
amount of plaque and increased levels of sex hormones is termed:
Puberty-associated gingivitis
Gingivitis as a result of an exaggerated inflammatory response to plaque and
hormone changes that may include a localized mushroom-shaped mass
projecting from a gingival papilla is termed:
Pregnancy-associated gingivitis
Gingivitis as the result of a severe reaction to the initial infection with the herpes
simplex type-1 virus is termed:
Primary herpetic gingivostomatitis
Gingivitis as the result of an allergic reaction to an ingredient in toothpaste is
termed:
allergic reaction to toothpaste
Medications NOT associated with gingival enlargement are:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories (NSAIDs)
Ascorbic acid-deficiency gingivitis is a severely low level of:
Vitamin C
Non-plaque induced gingival lesions:
may have various causes
A bacterial infection of the periodontium characterized by a slow destruction of
the periodontal ligament, slow loss of supporting bone, and a good response to
periodontal therapy is termed:
Chronic periodontitis
New signs and symptoms of destructive periodontitis that reappear after
periodontal therapy because the disease was not adequately treated and/or the
patient did not maintain adequate self-care is termed:
Recurrent disease
Chronic periodontitis in which 30% or LESS of the sites in the mouth have
experienced attachment loss and bone loss is termed:
Localized chronic periodontitis
Chronic periodontitis in which MORE than 30% of the sites in the mouth have
experienced attachment loss and bone loss is termed:
Generalized chronic periodontitis
Chronic periodontitis in the tissues surrounding a dental implant is termed:
Peri-implantitis
Tissue destruction that is characterized by probing depths of 4-6mm with clinical
attachment loss of up to 4mm is termed:
Slight to moderate tissue destruction
