In an adult patient with chronic adult periodontitis the most successful approach to treatment is:?
- A.
  
  Surgery
- B.
  
  Extreme initial treatment followed by reviews every year
- C.
  
  Initial periodontal therapy followed by maintenance therapy alone
Correct Answer
C. Initial periodontal therapy followed by maintenance therapy alone

Explanation
The most successful approach to treatment for an adult patient with chronic adult periodontitis is initial periodontal therapy followed by maintenance therapy alone. This approach involves an initial deep cleaning and scaling of the teeth and gums to remove plaque and tartar buildup. After this initial treatment, regular maintenance therapy, including professional cleanings and proper oral hygiene practices, is crucial to prevent further progression of the disease and maintain the health of the gums and teeth. Surgery may be necessary in some cases, but it is not the most successful approach for all patients.

Horizontal bone loss is present in : ?
- A.
  
  Localized aggressive periodontitis
- B.
  
  Generalized aggressive periodontitis
- C.
  
  Intrabony pockets
- D.
  
  Acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis
- E.
  
  Chronic periodontitis
Correct Answer
E. Chronic periodontitis

Explanation
Horizontal bone loss is a characteristic feature of chronic periodontitis. This condition is characterized by the gradual and progressive loss of the alveolar bone around the teeth, resulting in the formation of horizontal defects. Unlike vertical bone loss, which is seen in aggressive forms of periodontitis, horizontal bone loss occurs when the bone resorption is relatively uniform around the tooth, leading to a more even and consistent reduction in the bone level. Therefore, chronic periodontitis is the most likely condition associated with horizontal bone loss.

Planning of periodontal surgery best accomplished at: ?
- A.
  
  Phase I therapy.
- B.
  
  AfterphaseItherapyandbeforere-evaluation.
- C.
  
  Can be planned at any phase of periodontal therapy.
- D.
  
  After phase I therapy and during re-evaluation visit.
Correct Answer
D. After pHase I therapy and during re-evaluation visit.

Explanation
The best time to plan periodontal surgery is after phase I therapy and during the re-evaluation visit. This is because phase I therapy involves initial treatment to control the infection and inflammation in the gums, which sets the foundation for further treatment. During the re-evaluation visit, the dentist or periodontist can assess the effectiveness of phase I therapy and determine if surgery is necessary. Planning the surgery at this stage ensures that the patient's oral health has improved and that the surgery will be more successful.

Adult patient present clinically with irregular thickness of buccal gingiva, a round diamond bur used to correct and establish a physiological gingival contour. The type of this procedure is/are:?
- A.
  
  Gingivectomy.
- B.
  
  Combined gingivoplasty & gingivectomy.
- C.
  
  None of the above.
- D.
  
  Gingivoplasty.
Correct Answer
D. Gingivoplasty.

Explanation
The correct answer is Gingivoplasty. Gingivoplasty is a surgical procedure performed to reshape and contour the gingiva. In this case, the irregular thickness of the buccal gingiva is being corrected using a round diamond bur, which is a common tool used in gingivoplasty procedures. Gingivectomy, on the other hand, involves the removal of gum tissue, and combined gingivoplasty and gingivectomy refers to a combination of both procedures. None of these options accurately describe the procedure being performed in this scenario.

- A.
  
  Plaque control
- B.
  
  Root planning
- C.
  
  Restoration
- D.
  
  Removable prosthodontic appliances
Correct Answer
D. Removable prosthodontic appliances

Explanation
Removable prosthodontic appliances do not come under phase 1 therapy because phase 1 therapy primarily focuses on the initial treatment of periodontal disease. Plaque control, root planning, and restoration are all part of phase 1 therapy as they involve the removal of plaque and calculus, restoration of damaged teeth, and establishment of proper oral hygiene practices. Removable prosthodontic appliances, on the other hand, are prosthetic devices used to replace missing teeth and are typically considered part of phase 2 or 3 therapy.

Correct Answer
D. pHase-1

Explanation
Curettage is a surgical procedure that involves scraping or scooping out tissue from the lining of a body cavity or a wound. It is commonly used in gynecology, dermatology, and dentistry. In the context of the question, the term "Phase-1" refers to the initial phase or stage of a medical treatment or clinical trial. Therefore, the correct answer is Phase-1, as curettage is typically performed as a part of the initial treatment or evaluation process.

The concept of one stage Full mouth disinfection has been put forth to prevent?
- A.
  
  Adhesion of microorganisms
- B.
  
  Proliferation of microorganisms
- C.
  
  Bacterial invasion
- D.
  
  Translocation of microorganisms
Correct Answer
D. Translocation of microorganisms

Explanation
The concept of one stage Full mouth disinfection aims to prevent the translocation of microorganisms. This means that by disinfecting the entire mouth in one stage, the spread of microorganisms from one area to another can be minimized or eliminated. This is important because the translocation of microorganisms can lead to the colonization of new areas and the development of infections or diseases. By preventing translocation, the risk of further complications can be reduced, promoting better oral health.

Main aim of restoration of carious lesion in phase-I therapy?
- A.
  
  To restore function of tooth
- B.
  
  To restore form of tooth
- C.
  
  All of the above
- D.
  
  To reduce microbial source
Correct Answer
D. To reduce microbial source

Explanation
The main aim of restoration of carious lesions in phase-I therapy is to reduce the microbial source. Carious lesions are caused by bacteria that break down the tooth structure, leading to decay. By restoring the tooth and removing the carious lesion, the microbial source is reduced, preventing further decay and promoting oral health. Restoring the function and form of the tooth are secondary objectives in this context.

Primary purpose of scaling and root?
- A.
  
  To remove calculus & softened necrotic cementum
- B.
  
  To remove epithelial attachment
- C.
  
  All of the above
- D.
  
  To remove sulcular epithelium
Correct Answer
D. To remove sulcular epithelium

Explanation
The primary purpose of scaling and root planing is to remove the sulcular epithelium. This procedure involves removing the diseased tissue and bacteria from the periodontal pockets, which are the spaces between the teeth and gums. By removing the sulcular epithelium, the dentist or dental hygienist can access and clean the root surfaces of the teeth, removing calculus and softened necrotic cementum. This helps to promote healing and prevent further progression of gum disease.

Clinical changes that may be apparent after scaling and root planning?
- A.
  
  Gain in attachment and reduction of pocket depth
- B.
  
  Gain in epithelial and new connective tissue attachment
- C.
  
  Increase in width of attached gingiva
- D.
  
  Reduction in inflammation and pocket depth
Correct Answer
D. Reduction in inflammation and pocket depth

Explanation
After scaling and root planning, there is a reduction in inflammation and pocket depth. Scaling and root planning is a deep cleaning procedure that removes plaque and tartar from the teeth and roots. This helps to eliminate bacteria and toxins that cause inflammation and infection in the gums. As a result, the gums become healthier, and the pockets around the teeth become shallower. Therefore, the correct answer is reduction in inflammation and pocket depth.
