Quiz 2

Question 1

Classification system

Answer 1

A grouping of similar entities on the basis of certain differing characteristics
Ex: Grouping cars on sports, SUV, trucks

Question 2

American Academy of Periodontology (AAP) and European Federation of Periodontology (EFP)

Answer 2

Initiated the currently accepted classification system by organizing the World Workshop on the Classification of Periodontal and Periodontal-Implant Diseases and Conditions held in November 2017

Question 3

The 2017 AAP/EFP Classification of Periodontal and Peri-Implant Diseases and Conditions

Answer 3

Is the most recent, internationally accepted classification system

Question 4

Stippling

Answer 4

A dimpled appearance which are minute elevations and depressions of the surface of the gingiva due to connective tissue projections within the epithelial tissue (connective tissue papillae)

Question 5

Gingival Inflammation

Answer 5

The body’s reaction to the bacterial infection of the gingival tissues by periodontal pathogens

Question 6

Gingivitis

Answer 6

Inflammation that is confined to gingival tissue with no effect on attachment level, the mildest form of periodontal disease

Question 7

Bulbous Papilla

Answer 7

A papilla that is enlarged and appears to bulge out of the interproximal space

Question 8

Blunted papilla

Answer 8

A papilla is flat and does not fill the interproximal spaces

Question 9

Cratered papilla

Answer 9

A papilla that appears to have been “scooped out” leaving a concave depression in the mid proximal area

Question 10

The extent of inflammation

Answer 10

Is the area of tissue that is affected by inflammation

Question 11

The distribution of inflammation

Answer 11

Describes the area where the gingival tissue is inflamed

Question 12

Periodontal health

Answer 12

2017 World Workshop defines it as “A state free from inflammatory periodontal disease that allows an individual to function normally and avoid consequences (mental or physical) due to current or past disease

Question 13

Intact periodontium

Answer 13

A periodontium with no loss of periodontal tissue (no loss of connective tissue or alveolar bone)

Question 14

Reduced Periodontium

Answer 14

A periodontium with pre-existing loss of periodontal tissue but, is not currently undergoing loss of connective tissue/alveolar bone

Question 15

Periodontal health on an intact periodontium

Answer 15

Clinical signs characteristic of periodontal health coupled with an intact periodontium

Question 16

Periodontal health on a reduced periodontium in a non-periodontitis patient

Answer 16

Clinical signs of periodontal health on a periodontium with a pre-existing loss of connective tissue and/or loss of alveolar bone which is attributed to non-periodontitis reasons

Question 17

Periodontal health on a reduced periodontium in a successfully treated stable periodontitis patient

Answer 17

Clinical signs of periodontal health on a periodontium with a pre-existing loss of connective tissue and alveolar bone which is attributed to periodontitis but, has been successfully treated and is currently stable

Question 18

Plaque induced gingivitis

Answer 18

Is an inflammatory response of the gingival tissues resulting from bacterial plaque biofilm accumulation located at and below gingival margin

Question 19

Papillary gingivitis

Answer 19

Gingival inflammation that involves the interdental papilla, earliest signs of gingivitis are seen in the papillary region

Question 20

Marginal gingivitis

Answer 20

Involves the gingival margin and a portion of the contiguous attached gingiva, occurs if papillary gingival inflammation extends into the adjacent gingival margin

Question 21

Diffuse Gingivitis

Answer 21

If gingival inflammation affects all three parts of the gingiva, and the attached gingiva

Question 22

Acute gingivitis

Answer 22

Gingivitis of a sudden onset and short duration, after which professional care and patient self care returns the gingiva to a healthy state

Question 23

Chronic gingivitis

Answer 23

Long lasting gingivitis, may exist for years without ever progressing to periodontitis, typically painless and more commonly encountered than acute gingivitis

Question 24

Gingivitis on a intact periodontium

Answer 24

The presence of plaque induced inflammation on an intact periodontium

Question 25

Gingivitis on a reduced periodontium in a non periodontitis patient

Answer 25

The presence of plaque induced inflammation on a periodontium with pre existing loss of connective tissue and/or loss of alveolar bone that can be attributed to a non periodontitis reasons

Question 26

Pregnancy-associated progenitor granuloma (pregnancy tumor)

Answer 26

A strong reaction to plaque biofilm by the gingival papilla, forming a large localized overgrowth of gingival tissue. May form on the interdental gingiva or on the gingival margin

Question 27

Hyperglycemia

Answer 27

The presence of an abnormally high concentration of glucose in the circulating blood that occurs especially in individuals with diabetes mellitus

Question 28

Drug influenced gingival enlargements

Answer 28

are an increase in size of gingiva associated with certain systemic medications, most commonly anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers, and immunosuppressants

Question 29

Non plaque induced gingival diseases

Answer 29

Are not caused by plaque biofilm and do not resolve after plaque biofilm removal

Question 30

Lichen planus

Answer 30

Is a common inflammatory condition that can affect the skin, hair, nails and mucus membranes
