31
Q

Calculus is considered a local risk factor because:

D. Calculus is the primary cause of periodontal disease

A

A. The surface of calculus is irregular and provides a place for bacteria to grow undisturbed

Q

Which of the following is NOT a mechanism for attachment of calculus to a tooth surface?

B. Attachment to the blood clots that can form on the tooth

C. Attachment to irregularities that occur in the surface of a tooth

D. Attachment by direct contact of the calcified component and the tooth surface

B. Attachment to the blood clots that can form on the tooth

33
Q

The term overhanging restoration refers to restorations (or fillings) that:

D. Cover the entire anatomical crown of the tooth

A

B. Are not smoothly contoured with the tooth surface

C. Damage to the periodontium from occlusal forces

D. Disease causing potential of the plaque

A

D. Disease causing potential of the plaque

35
Q

Parafunctional occlusal forces are forces placed on the teeth that:

Q

Local contributing factors do not actually initiate either gingivitis or periodontitis, but these factors can contribute to the progression of an already established disease that is previously initiated by

A

bacterial plaque biofilm.

38
Q

Examples of potential local contributing factors can include

A

dental calculus

faulty dental restorations

developmental factors in teeth

plaque retentive features of cavitated lesions

certain patient habits

Q

What are the three primary mechanisms by which local factors can increase the risk of developing periodontal disease or increase the severity of existing disease?

A
  1. increase plaque biofilm retention
  2. increase plaque biofilm pathogenicity

40
Q

A local factor can increase plaque biofilm retention. (Clinical example)

A

  • history of traumatic toothbrushing
  • occlusion trauma
  • high frenal attachment

Q

In mature deposits that are more than 6 months old, the crystalline form is primarily

A

hydroxyapatite

54
Q

The 2017 AAP/EFP World Workshop recommends that the term “biologic width” be replaced by the more appropriate term

A

supercrestal tissue attachment

55

Why is malingering difficult to diagnose?

Because patients do not like to admit to causing their injury.

Q

Is fenestration associated with gingival recession?

A

no

Q

Some of the clinical signs of trauma from occlusion that have been reported include the following:

A

  3. Migration of teeth
58
Q

Some of the radiographic signs of trauma from occlusion that have been reported include the following:

A
  1. Enlarged, funnel-shaped PDL space
  2. Angular alveolar bone resorption
59
Q

The changes seen in primary occlusal trauma include a

A

wider PDL space, tooth mobility, and even tooth and jaw pain

60
Q

Secondary trauma from occlusion occurs to a tooth in which the surrounding periodontium has experienced

A

apical migration of the junctional
epithelium, loss of connective tissue attachment, and loss of alveolar bone.

61
Q

A frenum’s primary function is to provide

A

stability to the lips, cheeks, and tongue

62
Q
