    Dental plaque adheres to the tooth surface by?

    • Dextran (insoluble and sticky).

    • Bacteria,

    • Sucrose,

    • Epithelial cells

    Correct Answer
    A. Dextran (insoluble and sticky).
    Explanation
    Dental plaque adheres to the tooth surface through dextran, which is a type of polysaccharide produced by bacteria in the mouth. Dextran is insoluble and sticky, allowing it to form a biofilm on the tooth surface. This biofilm provides a protective environment for bacteria to thrive and multiply, leading to the formation of dental plaque. The sticky nature of dextran helps to trap other bacteria and substances, such as food particles, leading to the accumulation and growth of plaque over time.

    Gingival abrasio9nj is caused by:?

    • Faulty brushing

    • Soft tissue friction

    • Tooth malposition

    • High frenal attachment

    Correct Answer
    A. Faulty brushing
    Explanation
    Gingival abrasion refers to the wearing away of the gum tissue, and it is commonly caused by faulty brushing techniques. When a person brushes their teeth too aggressively or uses a toothbrush with hard bristles, it can lead to excessive pressure on the gums, causing them to become irritated and eventually wear away. This can result in gum recession and sensitivity. Soft tissue friction, tooth malposition, and high frenal attachment may contribute to gum problems, but they are not specifically mentioned as causes of gingival abrasion.

  • 20. 

    Which of the following is usually not caused by gingival recession:?

    • Periodontal abcess

    • Hypersensitivity

    • Root caries

    • Pulpal hyperaemia

    Correct Answer
    A. Periodontal abcess
    Explanation
    Gingival recession is the process of the gum tissue pulling away from the teeth, exposing the roots. This can lead to various dental problems. Periodontal abscess, which is a localized infection in the gum tissue, is usually not caused by gingival recession. Instead, it is typically caused by deep periodontal pockets and bacterial buildup. Hypersensitivity, root caries (cavities on the root surface), and pulpal hyperemia (increased blood flow to the dental pulp) are all commonly associated with gingival recession.

    Periodontal pockets can BEST be detected by: ……………?

    • Probing the sulcular area.

    • Radiographic detection

    • The color of the gingival

    • The contour of the gingival margin

    Correct Answer
    A. Probing the sulcular area.
    Explanation
    Periodontal pockets are pockets that form between the gum and the tooth as a result of gum disease. Probing the sulcular area refers to using a dental probe to measure the depth of these pockets. By gently inserting the probe into the space between the gum and tooth, a dentist or dental hygienist can determine the depth of the pocket. This is the most accurate and reliable way to detect periodontal pockets and assess the severity of gum disease. Radiographic detection, the color of the gingival, and the contour of the gingival margin may provide some information about the health of the gums, but they are not as specific or accurate as probing the sulcular area.

    The primary predisposing factor in ANUG: ………………………?

    • Plaque

    • Malnutrition

    • Psychological stress

    • Smoking

    Correct Answer
    A. Plaque
    Explanation
    The primary predisposing factor in ANUG is plaque. ANUG, or Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis, is a severe form of gum disease that is characterized by painful, ulcerated gums. Plaque, a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth, is the main cause of gum disease. When plaque is not properly removed through regular brushing and flossing, it can irritate and inflame the gums, leading to ANUG. Therefore, plaque buildup is the primary factor that predisposes individuals to develop this condition.

    Rate this question:

  • 31. 

    Tooth mobility caused by which of the following is not likely to be corrected: ….?

    • Loss of alveolar bone

    • Trauma from occlusion

    • Inflammation in periodontal ligament

    • Trauma from occlusion, Inflammation in periodontal ligament and Loss of alveolar bone

    Correct Answer
    A. Loss of alveolar bone
    Explanation
    Tooth mobility is caused by various factors, including trauma from occlusion and inflammation in the periodontal ligament. However, loss of alveolar bone is not likely to be corrected and can lead to permanent tooth mobility. Alveolar bone provides support and stability to the teeth, and its loss can result in a lack of anchorage for the teeth, leading to mobility. Therefore, loss of alveolar bone is the correct answer as it is not likely to be corrected and can contribute to tooth mobility.

    Wire edge is produced in instruments by sharping strokes that are: …………….?

    • Away from cutting edge

    • Towards cutting edge

    • Away from cutting edge and Towards cutting edge

    • All of The answer

    Correct Answer
    A. Away from cutting edge
    Explanation
    When sharpening strokes are made away from the cutting edge, it creates a wire edge on the instrument. This wire edge is a thin, weak, and flexible metal burr that is formed during the sharpening process. It is important to remove this wire edge after sharpening to ensure the instrument's cutting edge is clean and sharp. Sharpening strokes made towards the cutting edge can actually damage the instrument and dull the cutting edge. Therefore, the correct answer is "Away from cutting edge."

    Microbial analysis of plaque is indicated in all of the mentioned conditions. Aggressive periodontitis refers to a rapidly progressing form of periodontal disease, which may require microbial analysis to identify the specific bacteria causing the infection. Refractory periodontitis is a condition where the periodontal disease does not respond to conventional treatment, and microbial analysis can help determine if there are any resistant bacteria present. Periodontitis associated with systemic conditions, such as diabetes or HIV, may also benefit from microbial analysis to understand the impact of the systemic condition on the oral microbiota.

    The most common factor that defects healing after periodontal treatment: ?

    • Plaque

    • Excessive manipulation of tissue

    • Inadequate blood supply

    • Foreign bodies

    Correct Answer
    A. Plaque
    Explanation
    Plaque is the correct answer because it is a sticky film of bacteria that forms on the teeth and gumline. If plaque is not properly removed through regular brushing and flossing, it can lead to gum disease and hinder the healing process after periodontal treatment. Plaque can cause inflammation and infection in the gums, preventing them from properly healing. Therefore, it is important to maintain good oral hygiene practices to prevent plaque buildup and promote successful healing after periodontal treatment.

    Repair that occurs after treatment of periodontal lesions is called: …?

    • Reattachment

    • New attachment

    • Epithelial adaptation

    • Repair

    Correct Answer
    A. Reattachment
    Explanation
    Reattachment refers to the process of reconnecting the periodontal tissues, including the cementum, periodontal ligament, and alveolar bone, to the root surface of the tooth after the treatment of periodontal lesions. This process can occur when the root surface is clean and free of contaminants, allowing for the reestablishment of a functional periodontal attachment. Reattachment is an important goal in periodontal therapy as it helps to restore the integrity and stability of the periodontium.

    A. Hypertension
    Explanation
    Periodontal disease is a risk factor for various health conditions, including diabetes, premature delivery, and cardiovascular diseases. However, there is no strong evidence to suggest a direct link between periodontal disease and hypertension. While there may be some association between the two, it is not considered a significant risk factor for developing hypertension.

    Maintenance phase should start after: ………………….?

    • Phase I

    • Preliminary phase

    • Phase II

    • Phase III

    Correct Answer
    A. Phase I
    Explanation
    The maintenance phase should start after Phase I. This is because Phase I, also known as the preliminary phase, is the initial stage of a project where the feasibility and basic requirements are assessed. Once this phase is completed, the maintenance phase begins, which involves the ongoing support, updates, and enhancements of the project. Therefore, Phase I serves as the foundation for the maintenance phase to ensure the project is stable and ready for long-term maintenance.

    The inter-dental aid to be used when the embrasure is filled with inter-dental papilla: ………?

    • Dental floss

    • Wooden tip

    • Plastic tip

    • No, answer correct

    Correct Answer
    A. Dental floss
    Explanation
    When the embrasure is filled with inter-dental papilla, the best inter-dental aid to use is dental floss. Dental floss is a thin thread that can easily slide between teeth and remove plaque and food debris from the inter-dental spaces. It is effective in cleaning the area even when the inter-dental papilla is present, ensuring proper oral hygiene and preventing gum diseases. Wooden tip and plastic tip aids may not be able to reach the inter-dental spaces effectively in this situation.

    Correct Answer
    A. Color change
    Explanation
    Color change is a more common expression of gingivae because it refers to a visible alteration in the color of the gums. This can occur due to various factors such as inflammation, infection, or poor oral hygiene. Bleeding, increase in pocket depth, and mobility are also associated with gingivae issues, but color change is a more commonly observed symptom.

    The prognosis for smoker with severe periodontitis, when he stops smoking: …?

    • Fair

    • Good

    • Poor

    • Quetionable

    Correct Answer
    A. Fair
    Explanation
    The prognosis for a smoker with severe periodontitis is considered fair when they stop smoking. Quitting smoking can significantly improve the overall health of the gums and reduce the progression of periodontal disease. However, the severity of the existing periodontitis may still have an impact on the long-term prognosis, hence the fair prognosis. It is important for the individual to receive appropriate dental treatment and maintain good oral hygiene practices to further improve their prognosis.

    The most common factor that defect healing after periodontal treatment: …?

    • Plaque

    • Excessive manipulation

    • Inadequate blood supply

    • Foreign bodies

    Correct Answer
    A. Plaque
    Explanation
    Plaque is the correct answer because it is the primary cause of periodontal disease. After periodontal treatment, if plaque is not properly controlled, it can lead to the recurrence of infection and inflammation, preventing proper healing. Plaque contains harmful bacteria that can damage the gums and supporting structures of the teeth, causing defects in the healing process. Therefore, maintaining good oral hygiene and removing plaque through regular brushing and flossing is essential for successful healing after periodontal treatment.
