Question 11

What is erythema?

Answer 11

Superficial redding of the skin

Question 12

What is edema?

Answer 12

Question 14

Define gingivititis: dental biofilm-induced associated with dental biofilm

Answer 14

An inflammatory lesion from interactions between the dental plaque biofilm and the host’s immune-inflammatory response, which remains contained within the gingivia.
