DPH 1 FINALS EXAM 2026 UPDATE QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT VERIFIED ANSWERS ALREADY
GRADED A+
Periodontal Disease - ANS-➢ 2nd most common disease
➢ Any disease/inflammation that affects investing
structures of the teeth (PDL, alveolar bone, gingiva)
1. Gingivitis
2. Periodontitis - ANS-2 GENERAL CLASSIFICATIONS OF PERIODONTAL DISEASES
Gingivitis - ANS-Inflammation of the gingiva
➢ Reversible disease
➢ Bacteria affects the gingiva only
➢ Tx: Good oral hygiene, Oral prophylaxis
➢ Usually starts at free gingiva → Interdental Gingiva → Attached Gingiva
○ Edema of the gums (bulky gum structural area)
○ no stipplings
○ No field of depressions on the surface
○ Bleeding of the gums upon probing - ANS-Clinical Findings in Gingivitis
Periodontitis - ANS-Inflammation of investing structures involving the bone
, ➢ Irreversible dse
➢ More aggravating condition compared to gingivitis
➢ Tx: Scaling and root planing, periodontal surgery
○ Pocket formation (Root structure is seen)
○ Bleeding upon probing - ANS-Clinical Findings in Periodontitis
1. Periodontal pocket / Pocket depth
2. CAL
3. Bleeding upon probing
4. Bone loss / level
5. Tooth mobility
6. Furcation involvement - ANS-FACTORS TO BE ASSESSED in PERIODONTAL DISEASES
COMMUNITY PERIODONTAL INDEX OF TREATMENT NEEDS (CPITN) - ANS-➢ Most common
index to determine periodontal
diseases
➢ Joint FDI/WHO working group established in 1979
➢ A procedure for classifying periodontal condition
with respect to the complexity of care and oral
health personnel required to restore periodontal
tissue to a healthy tissue
Permanent Teeth - ANS-COMMUNITY PERIODONTAL INDEX OF TREATMENT NEEDS (CPITN) is
used only for what dentition?
