6
Q

Risk factors are either ______, meaning that measures can be taken to change them, or ______, which means these factors cannot be changed.

A

A: modifiable; nonmodifiable

7

All of the following are considered modifiable risk factors EXCEPT

  1. Smoking
  2. Age
  3. Diabetes
  4. Nutrition
  5. Alcohol
  6. Obesity/overweight
A

B. Age

8
Q

Socioeconomic status and genetics are both considered non-modifiable factors that cannot be changed.

True

False

A

True

9

  1. Plaque and calculus
  2. Stress
  3. Open contacts
  4. Overhangs
A

B. Stress

10
Q

Periodontitis has a multifactorial etiology. _______ – other than the presence of bacteria – play a significant role in determining why some individuals are more ______ to periodontal disease than others.

A

A: Additional factors; susceptible

11
Q

Research studies have clearly demonstrated that periodontal disease is a bacterial infection of the periodontium. Bacteria are the primary etiologic agent resulting in the initiation of periodontal disease.

  1. The first statement is true. The second statement is false.
  2. The second statement is false. The first statement is true.
  3. Both statements are true.
  4. Both statements are false.
A

C. Both statements are true.

12
Q

Some persons with abundant biofilm exhibit only mild disease, while others with sparse amounts of biofilm suffer severe disease.

True

False

A

True

13
Q

Untreated gingivitis does not always lead to periodontitis. Everyone infected with periodontal pathogens will experience periodontitis.

  1. The first statement is true. The second statement is false.
  2. The first statement is false. The second statement is true.
  3. Both statements are true.
  4. Both statements are false.
A

A. The first statement is true. The second statement is false.

14
Q

The presence of periodontal pathogens determines why some individuals are more susceptible to periodontal disease than others.

True

False

A

False

Explanation: Periodontitis has a multifactorial etiology. Additional factors – other than the presence of bacteria – play a significant role in determining why some individuals are more susceptible to periodontal disease than others.

15
Q

_______ is a state of balance in the internal environment of the body.

A

A: Biologic equilibrium

16
Q

Periodontal equilibrium occurs when there is a balance between _______ factors and _______ factors.

A

A: disease-promoting; health-promoting

17
Q

Periodontal disease results when the balance is changed between pathogenic bacteria and the host’s inflammatory and immune responses. The balance can also be affected by local and/or systemic risk factors.

  1. The first statement is true. The second statement is false.
  2. The first statement is false. The second statement is true.
  3. Both statements are true.
  4. Both statements are false.
A

C. Both statements are true.

18
Q

There are some risk factors that cannot be eliminated or controlled. Professional care can help slow disease progression.

  1. The first statement is true. The second statement is false.
  2. The first statement is false. The second statement is true.
  3. Both statements are true.
  4. Both statements are false.
A

C. Both statements are true.

19
Q

In individuals with a _______ to periodontitis, gingivitis may never progress to periodontitis.

A

A: low susceptibility.

20
Q

It is possible to eliminate a systemic risk factor in many cases. A faulty restoration is a good example of a systemic factor that can be corrected, restoring the balance between systemic disease-promoting and health promoting factors at the site.

  1. The first statement is true. The second statement is false.
  2. The first statement is false. The second statement is true.
  3. Both statements are true.
  4. Both statements are false.
A

Both statements are false.

Explanation: local… local… local…
