Perio Classification Flashcards
Gingivitis associated with dental plaque only In which forms can be ?
A) without other local contributing factors
B) with other local contributing factors
TUMORLIKE GINGIVAL ENLARGEMENT:
a) spontaneous reduction in the size of gingival enlargement commonly follows the termination of pregnancy,
b) complete elimination of the residual inflammatory lesion requires the removal of all plaque deposits and factors that favor its accumulation
treatment of the gingiva that is limited to the removal of tissue without complete elimination of local irritants is followed by recurrence of gingival enlarge ment.
a) Heavy metals (bismuth,arsenic, mercury, lead, silver) absorbed systemically from therapeutic use or occupational or household environments may discolor the gingiva and other areas of the oral mucosa.
b) Typically, The pigmentation produces a black or bluish line in the gingiva that follows the contour of the marginand may also appear as isolated black blotches involving the interdental marginal and attached gingiva.
Both correct
Local factors of periodontitis
Poor oral hygiene:
Smoking and tobacco use:
Poorly fitting dental restorations:
Oral trauma or injury:
Refractory periodontitis
complete remission occurs after therapy, followed by recurrence of the disease as a result of reformation of plaque, and calculus.

- the function of gingival fibers: select one or more
A. Unite the free gingiva to the root cementum and the adjacent attached gingiva
B. Brace the marginal gingiva firmly against the tooth
C. Help to withstand the forces exerted by mastication without being defected away from the tooth surface
