Most important treatment for ANUG is - Debridement
(could give antibiotics if you can't debride in time)
What is the treatment for gingival hyperplasia? - Gingivectomy
,Patient presents with a liver clot. What is the treatment? - Irrigate, apply pressure,
reassess
Would you rather overcontour or under contour the temporary crown to preserve gingival
health - Undercontour
Picture of a patient with all crowns on upper and lower. What is wrong? - Impingement
on gums/gum health
(Other choices were incorrect overjet/overbite, improper contour of crown)
Patient has pain on swallowing when wearing their denture, why? - Overextension of
lingual flange

you do to fix this? - Implant

the optimal treatment plan? - Extract #1 and either implant for #3 or #2 and #3.
If you cannot pick a color for a crown what do you chose? - Something with lower shade
saturation and less gray
- higher value (cannot increase value) -> less gray
- lower chroma (can raise chroma) -> lower shade saturation
Chroma = saturation
Value = gray level (bright/dark)

Picture of #10 and #11 lingual surface, what is wrong with the gingiva? - Edema

with #3. Why is this happening? - No occlusion or mesial drifting premolars
Surgical stent fits the gums but immediate denture doesn't fit. What do you do? - Relieve
until it seats
