Periodontology II final exam | | | |




with precise detailed | | |




solutions
Pathogenesis - Correct answer ✔The sequence of events that occur during the
| | | | | | | | | | | |




development of a disease or abnormal condition the periodontium exists in
| | | | | | | | | | |




three basic states: health gingivitis and periodontitis
| | | | | |




T or F. Periodontitis is the same as periodontal disease - Correct answer ✔False
| | | | | | | | | | | | |




Gingivitis - Correct answer ✔A bacterial infection that is confined to the
| | | | | | | | | | | |




gingiva. Tissue damage is reversible.gingiva is swollen, bulbous, red.
| | | | | | | |




Periodontitis - Correct answer ✔Bacterial infection of all parts of the
| | | | | | | | | | |




periodontium including the gingiva, periodontal ligament, bone and
| | | | | | | |




cementum. The damage is irreversible | | | |




Healthy gingiva - Correct answer ✔Pink in color. May be pigmented. Resilient.
| | | | | | | | | | | |




Proving depths are 1-3mm | | |




Onset of gingivitis - Correct answer ✔Observed clinically from 4 to 14 days after
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |




plaque biofilm accumulates in the gingival sulcus
| | | | | |

,Acute gingivitis - Correct answer ✔Lasts for a short period of time. Results in
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |




swollen gingiva |




Chronic gingivitis - Correct answer ✔Gingivitis that lasts for months or years
| | | | | | | | | | |




Periodontitis - Correct answer ✔Characterized by apical migration of the
| | | | | | | | | |




junction all epithelium and loss of connective tissue and alveolar bone.
| | | | | | | | | | |




Presence of embrasure spaces and probing depths larger than 4mm
| | | | | | | | |




Healthy bone level height - Correct answer ✔2mm apical to the CEJ
| | | | | | | | | | |




Horizontal bone loss - Correct answer ✔Most common type of bone loss. It's
| | | | | | | | | | | | |




fairly even, and overall reduction of the height of alveolar bone.
| | | | | | | | | |




Vertical bone loss - Correct answer ✔Less common type of bone loss. Also
| | | | | | | | | | | | |




known as angular bone loss. Uneven bone loss. Trench like area around a tooth.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |




Infrabony defects - Correct answer ✔These result when bone resorption occurs
| | | | | | | | | | |




in an uneven oblique direction. Only affects one tooth. They may have one two
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |




or three walls
| |




Osseous craters - Correct answer ✔Bowl shaped defect in the interdental
| | | | | | | | | | |




alveolar bone, with bone loss nearly equal on the roots of two adjacent teeth.
| | | | | | | | | | | | |




Furcation involvement - Correct answer ✔Occurs on A multi rooted tooth
| | | | | | | | | | |




when Periodontal infection invades the area between and around the roots
| | | | | | | | | | |

, resulting in a loss of alveolar bone between the roots of the teeth. *may be
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |




hidden by gingival tissue* | | |




Inactive disease site - Correct answer ✔A disease site that is stable, with the
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |




attachment level of the JE remaining the same over time. *MAJORITY OF
| | | | | | | | | | | |




PERIO POCKETS IN ADULT PATIENTS ARE INACTIVE*
| | | | | |




Active disease site - Correct answer ✔A disease site that shows continued apical
| | | | | | | | | | | |




migration of the JE over time
| | | | | |




Gingival pockets - Correct answer ✔Deepening of the go offal sulcus as a result
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |




of sweeping or enlargement of the gingival tissue
| | | | | | |




False pocket - Correct answer ✔*also known as a pseudopocket* because there
| | | | | | | | | | | |




is no destruction of the perio ligament fibers or alveolar bone in a gingival
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |




pocket. *no apical migration of the JE*
| | | | | |




Periodontal pocket - Correct answer ✔Pathogenic deepening of the gingival
| | | | | | | | | |




sulcus



Apical migration - Correct answer ✔The movement of the JE from the normal
| | | | | | | | | | | | |




position. Below the CEJ. In health the junctional epithelium cells attach to the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |




enamel of the tooth crown. In periodontitis the JE cells attach to the cementum
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |




of the root.
