White sponge nevus 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 Answer - C What treatment does this condition require? A. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs B. Excision C. Antifungal drugs D. Monitoring for potential malignancy E. No treatment Answer - E The patient has a 2-mm probing depth on the facial aspect of tooth #6 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 Answer - A The patient s sensitivity in this area is most likely related to: A. Fluid entering the sulcular epithelium B. Fluid entering the rod less enamel C. Fluid entering the dentinal tubules D. Fluid entering the lacuna of the cementum Answer - C The tooth itself is capable of experiencing nerve sensation from what stimuli? A. Pressure B. Hot C. Cold D. Pain E.

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 Answer - A
