and he has 3 mm of recession. What is the attachment loss in this
area?
,A. 5 mm
B. 2 mm
C. 3 mm
D. 1 mm
E. 0 mm - CORRECT ANSWER-A
The patient s sensitivity in this area is most likely related to:
A. Fluid entering the sulcular epithelium
B. Fluid entering the rodless enamel
C. Fluid entering the dentinal tubules
D. Fluid entering the lacuna of the cementum - CORRECT ANSWER-C
The generalized opalescence of the buccal mucosa is most likely:
B. Leukoedema - CORRECT ANSWER-B
The generalized opalescent condition in question 1 is caused by
significant intercellular edema in which layer of the stratified
squamous epithelium?
,A. Corneum
B. Basal
C. Spinosum
D. Granular
E. Basement membrane - CORRECT ANSWER-C
The tooth itself is capable of experiencing nerve sensation from what
stimuli?
A. Pressure

D. Pain
E. Both B and C - CORRECT ANSWER-D
The patient wants the areas of gingival recession treated to resolve
sensitivity and esthetics problems. The dental care plan includes
covering the areas around the canines with soft tissue grafts. The
periodontist explains that he will perform connective tissue grafts. He
explains that the connective tissue taken from the area (donor site)
will produce the same type of epithelium at the canine area (recipient
site) as the tissue that exists at the donor site. The type of tissue
normally present around the canine area is:
, a. Keratinized, stratified squamous epithelium
b. Nonkeratinized, stratified squamous epithelium
c. Nonkeratinized, simple squamous epithelium
d. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium - CORRECT ANSWER-A
