Perio Ch 3&6 Quiz 1

Question 1

_____ deals with the events that occur during the development of the periodontal disease

Answer 1

Periodontology

Question 2

Is gingivitis reversible?

Answer 2

Yes

Question 3

Is periodontitis reversible?

Answer 3

No

Question 4

2 types of periodontal disease?

Answer 4

Gingivitis

Periodontitis

Question 5

Difference between periodontitis and periodontal disease?

Answer 5

Periodontitis is a type of periodontal disease

Question 6

When can gingivitis be observed clinically?

Answer 6

From 4-14 days after plaque biofilm accumulates in sulcus

Question 7

Acute gingivitis

Answer 7

Short period of time

Sulcus depth over 3mm due to tissue enlargement

Papillae: bulbous and swollen

JE remains normal

Question 8

Chronic gingivitis

Answer 8

Last for months or years

Leathery consistency

Bluefish red or pale white

Papillae: blunted or cratered

Excess collagen fibers conceal the redness in the tissue

Question 9

Can gingivitis persist for years without progressing to periodontitis?

Answer 9

Yes

Question 10

What is periodontitis?

Answer 10

A type of periodontal disease.

• apical migration of the JE
• loss of connective tissue attachment
• loss of alveolar bone

Question 11

Which periodontal disease has apical migration of the junctional epithelium?

Answer 11

Periodontitis

Question 12

Where is the alveolar crest located in health and gingivitis?

Answer 12

2mm apical to the CEJs

Question 13

What type of bone loss leaves a trench like area of missing bone alongside the root

Answer 13

Vertical bone loss

Question 14

What is a pocket?

Answer 14

• A diseased sulcus

- Presence or absence of infection that distinguishes a pocket from a sulcus

Question 15

What is a false pocket?

Answer 15

Pseudopocket

Question 16

What are the 2 types of pockets?

Answer 16

Gingival pocket

Periodontal pocket

Question 17

How do you distinguish between a gingival pocket and a periodontal pocket?

Answer 17

Level of attachment

Question 18

The sequence of events that occur during the development of a disease or abnormal condition is?

Answer 18

Pathogenesis

Question 19

Suprabony pockets are seen when?

Answer 19

There is horizontal bone loss

JE is located coronal to the crest of the alveolar bone

Question 20

Infrabony pockets are seen when?

Answer 20

There is vertical bone loss

Question 21

A bowl shaped defect in the interdental alveolar bone win bone loss nearly equal on the roots of 2 adjacent teeth

Answer 21

Interproximal Osseous crater

Question 22

What is attachment loss?

Answer 22

Destruction of the fibers and alveolar bone that support the teeth

Question 23

Active disease site shows what?

Answer 23

Continued apical migration of the JE over time

Question 24

Inactive disease site shows what?

Answer 24

Attachment level of the JE remain at the same level for a period of time

Question 25

Do gingival pockets have destruction of PDL fibers or alveolar bone?

Answer 25

No

Question 26

Do periodontal pockets have destruction of PDL fibers or alveolar bone?

Answer 26

Yes

Question 27

Can a pocket alone say whether the infection is active or inactive?

Answer 27

No, you will have to check depths in a few months to compare
