Question 4

what are the three subcategories of periodontal health

Answer 4

1. periodontal health on intact periodontium
2. periodontal health on reduces periodontium in nonperiodontitis patient
3. periodontal health on reduces periodontium in successfully treated stable periodontitis patient

Question 5

what are the two broad classifications of gingival diseases and conditions

Answer 5

1. gingivitis: dental biofilm-induced

Question 6

what is the most common form of periodontal disease

Answer 6

dental biofilm-induced gingivits

Question 7

what does edema causes and what is an example of it

Answer 7

enlargement of gingival tissues
example: bulbous tissue, blunted papilla, cratered papilla

yes, due to a diastema

Answer 13

marginal gingivitis

Question 14

gingival margin, papilla, and attached gingiva

Answer 14

diffuse gingivitis

Question 15

can a patient revert to dental biofilm-induced gingivitis on intact periodontium after having periodontitis

Answer 15

no because once a perio patient, always a perio patient

Question 16

what are conditions that may modify biofilm-induced gingivitis but are not considered diagnoses themselves

Answer 16

puberty
menstrual cycle

Answer 20

yes

Question 21

what can vitamin c deficiency cause

Answer 21

scurvy, delay healing

Question 22

Answer 22

bacterial plaque biofilms

Question 23

Answer 23

caries, taste disorders, halitosis, and inflammation of oral mucosa, tongue, and gingiva

Question 24
