Solutions
Which of the following is the proper way to calculate the width
of the attached gingiva?
A. Subtract the probing depth from the total width of gingiva
B. Subtract the width of attached gingiva from the probing depth
C. Measure from the free gingival margin to the mucogingival
junction
D. Measure from the CEJ to the free gingival margin
A. Subtract the probing depth from the total width of gingiva
Bleeding on gentle probing represents bleeding from the soft-
tissue wall of the periodontal pocket where the wall of the
pocket is ulcerated due to disease. When assessing for bleeding,
an alert hygienist will observe each site for a few seconds before
moving on to the next site.
Both statements are true.
Both statements are false.
The first statement is true; the second is false.
The first statement is false; the second is true.
Both statements are true.
Thorough documentation of periodontal assessment findings in
the patient chart or computerized record is important for all of
the following reasons, except:
,to serve as baseline data.
to measure treatment outcomes.
to monitor periodontal health over time.
to determine whether a complete mouth radiographic series is
necessary.
to determine whether a complete mouth radiographic series is
necessary.
An example of a radiolucent area on a radiograph is the:
periodontal ligament space.
tooth enamel.
bone levels.
overhanging restoration
periodontal ligament space.
If an adjacent tooth is tilted or erupted to a different height, the
crest of the interproximal bone will have a _________ contour.
horizontal
vertical
jagged
smooth
vertical
Radiographs reveal the bone remaining rather than the amount
of bone lost. The amount of bone loss can be roughly estimated
on a radiograph as the difference between the level of the
,remaining bone and normal bone height.

The first statement is false; the second is true
Both statements are true.
Radiographs can show periodontal disease activity by revealing
the:
A. sextent of furcation involvement in a multirooted tooth.
B. extent of attachment loss a tooth has suffered.
C. depth of periodontal pocketing present.
D. none of these is correct; radiographs cannot show periodontal
disease activity.
D. none of these is correct; radiographs cannot show periodontal
disease activity.
The structure that forms a smooth, intact surface between
adjacent teeth with only the width of the periodontal ligament
space separating it from the adjacent root surface is called the:
A. crestal bone contour.
B. alveolar crest.
C. cortical bone.
D. horizontal crest contour.
B. alveolar crest.
, Which one of the following strategies is an important factor in
prevention and control of dentinal hypersensitivity? Without this
strategy, treatments for hypersensitivity usually will not be
successful.
A. Daily thorough oral self-care by the patient
B. Using a toothpaste for sensitive teeth
C. Professional application of fluoride varnish
D. Burnishing calcium hydroxide into the exposed root surface
A. Daily thorough oral self-care by the patient
All of the following are goals of nonsurgical therapy, except:
A. Eliminate or control local risk factors for periodontal
disease.
B. Assess the extent of tissue damage caused by periodontal
disease.
C. Minimize the impact of systemic risk factors for periodontal
disease.
D> Stabilize attachment levels.
B. assess the extent of tissue damage caused by periodontal
disease.
The hydrodynamic theory for the origin of dentinal
hypersensitivity proposes the which of the following as the
