*Symptoms of primary herpes include fever, generalized stomatitis, and numerous vesicles, and ulcers on the mucosa.
*Mononucleosis may show oral findings similar to primary herpes.
*In nonthrombocytopenic purpura, severe gingival hemorrhage occurs because of fragile capillary walls.
2. Each of the following is a type of adverse drug reaction EXCEPT one. Which is the exception?
a. side effect
b. drug allergy
c. therapeutic effect
d. toxic reaction: A therapeutic effect is a clinically desirable drug a a drug allergy, toxic reaction,ction,
and side effect are all clinically undesira whereas

* A toxic reaction is an exaggeration of the desired response and could reactions.
* A side effect is a dose-related reaction that is not part of the desired therapeutic outcome.
* A drug allergy is an unpredictable immunologic response to a drug resulting in a reaction such as a rash or
anaphylaxis.
3. Which of the following conditions is reversible?
a. Peri-implant mucositis
b. Periodontal disease
c. Bone loss
d. Recession: Peri-implant mucositis is an inflammatory reaction that affects the soft tissues surrounding a dental
implant. It is characterized by redness, swelling, and bleeding on probing, similar to gingivitis around natural teeth. The
condition is considered reversible because it does not involve the loss of supporting bone around the implant. With proper
biofilm management, which includes thorough oral hygiene practices and professional cleaning to remove the biofilm (a
layer of bacteria) that
, S.RDH: NBDHE SHORT-FORM MOCKS: 1 &
causes the inflammation, the condition can be resolved, and the health of the peri-implant tissues can be restored.
4. What is Peri-implantitis ?
What is Peri-implant bone loss ?
What is a Peri-implant lesion ?: * Peri-implantitis, unlike peri-implant mucositis, peri-implantitis is an inflammatory
condition that affects both the soft and hard tissues around an implant. It includes peri-implant mucositis symptoms
along with bone loss around the implant, as detected by radiographs or direct measurement. The bone loss associated
with peri-implantitis is generally not reversible with biofilm management alone. While biofilm management is a critical
part of treatment to prevent further progression of the disease, the bone loss that has already occurred usually requires
additional surgical interventions for potential reversal.
* Peri-implant bone loss specifically refers to the irreversible loss of bone around an implant, which is a sign of peri-
implantitis. Biofilm management can help prevent further bone loss but cannot reverse the loss that has already occurred.
* Peri-implant lesions is a broad term that could encompass a range of issues around an implant, including both peri-
implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. If the lesion is limited to the soft tissue inflammation characteristic of peri-
implant mucositis, it can be reversible with biofilm management. However, if it involves bone loss, then the condition
would be classified as peri- implantitis and not solely managed by biofilm control.
5. Which non-opioid analgesic does NOT have anti-inflammatory properties?
- Ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil)
- Naproxen sodium (Aleve)
- Aspirin (Bayer)
- Acetaminophen (Tylenol): The mechanism of action of acetaminophe known, but it does not possess n is
any clinically significant anti-inflammatory Acetaminophen is only used as an antiplatelet, analgesic, and un-
antipyretic. effec
6. When considering decision for a referral to a specialist in periodontics, which of the following types of
patients should normally be referred?
a. pt with moderate plaque-induced gingivitis
b. pt with slight chronic periodontitis
c. pt with severe aggressive periodontitis
d. pt with severe chronic periodontitis

A code is assigned for each sextant based on the worst reading in the sextant. Codes 0, 1, 2: reference mark completely
visible in the deepest sulcus or pocket. Code 3: mark partially visible indicating the reading is between 3.5 & 5.5 mm
ONLY Code 4: mark not visible - indicating a reading above 5 mm.
12.Which hand instrument is the most time-effective tool for removing sub- gingival interproximal calculus
on posterior teeth?
UNIVERSAL CURETTES: Due to time concern, it is best as the two cutting edges are used for all surfaces.
13.Which hand instrument is the BEST choice for scaling light calculus in a 5 mm pocket located on the mesial
of tooth number 13?
a. gracey 1/2

c. GRACEY 11/12
d. barnhart 5/6: Designed for a specific area or surface in the mouth.
14.What deficiency is common in elderly patients?
VITAMIN D: People over age 50 have an increased risk of vitamin D deficiency and the risk increases with age. As
people age, they lose some of their ability to synthesize vitamin D from sunlight. Vitamin D also needs to be activated in
the kidney before it can be used by the body and this function also decreases with age. Finally, elderly people who are
homebound are less likely to get outdoor exercise and activity. Researchers have suggested that it takes up to 30 minutes
of sun exposure twice a week to make a sufficient amount of vitamin D from sunlight.
15.According to the AHA guideline, which of the following heart conditions does NOT require
premedication?
a. incompletely repaired cyanotic congenital heart disease
b. history of infective endocarditis

periapical abscess. All of the following proce- dures, EXCEPT ONE, would help you to confirm the presence of a
periapical abscess.

a. Question patient on trauma history of the tooth
b. Take PA radiograph of the area
c. Test the tooth for vitality
d. Take BW radiograph of the area:
17.Which disease is caused by the viral family Filoviridae? Ebola
Chickenpox AIDS
Mumps: The family Filoviridae consists of viruses that cause severe hemorrhagic fevers and include some of the most
dangerous pathogens. One of the most
well-known diseases caused by this viral family is Ebola virus disease.
Ebola is caused by viruses within the Filoviridae family and is characterized by high mortality rates and severe
symptoms, including fever, bleeding, and organ failure. The virus is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids
of infected individuals or contaminated surfaces. Its high fatality rate and the severity of its symptoms make Ebola a
critical public health concern, highlighting the importance of understanding and controlling infections caused by
Filoviridae.
