Cementum is NOT necessary to the health of the periodontium because the underlying dentin will protect the root if the cementum is removed by toothbrush abrasion or from dental procedures. T/F

Gingivaldiseasemodifiedbymedications ChronicperiodontitisWhich of the following is a classification of periodontal disease that is described as periodontal disease with a rapid loss of attachment and a less predictable response to periodontal therapyAggressive periodontitisWhich of the following is a classification of periodontal disease that is described as a group of periodontal diseases that are associated with (1) hematological disorders and (2) genetic disordersPeriodontitis as a manifestation of systemic diseaseWhich of the following is a classification of periodontal disease that is described as a unique type of periodontal disease that involves tissue necrosis of the gingival tissues combined with loss of attachment and alveolar bone lossNecrotizing periodontal diseasesWhich of the following is a classification of periodontal disease that is described as the most common form of periodontal disease due to inflammation of only the gingiva in response to bacteria located at the gingival marginGingivitis associated with dental plaque onlyWhich of the following is a classification of periodontal disease that involves infection or death of dental pulpal tissuesPeriodontitis associated with an endodontic lesionWhich member(s) of the dental team is/are responsible for the comprehensive periodontal assessmentDentist and dental hygenistThe PSR (Periodontal Screening and Recording) requires that the clinician probe which of the following tooth surfacesAll surfaces of the teethDuring a comprehensive periodontal assessment, probing depth measurements are recorded on how many surfaces of each tooth6 surfacesWhich of the following is a synonym for exudatePusGingival recession means that the free gingival margin isApical to the CEJWhen measuring tooth mobility, the preferred clinical technique is for the clinician to trap each tooth betweenTwo instrument handlesFurcation involvement is measured with what type of instrumentCurved periodontal probeAttached gingiva is the part of the gingiva that is tightly connected to the cementum or periosteum T/FTrueWhich of the following is the most accurate measurement of tooth supportClinical attachment levelsThe sequence of events that occur during the development of a disease is termedPathogenesisIn gingivitis, the position of the junctional epithelium is______to the cementoenamel junctioncoronalWhich of the following structures is intact in gingivitisPeriodontal ligament fibers and alverolar boneIncreased probing depth of a gingival pocket is the result of which of the followingEnlarged tissuePermanent destruction of the tissues of the periodontium occurs in which statePeriodontitisWhich pattern of bone loss results in a fairly even, overall reduction in the height of the alveolar boneHorizontal bone lossWhat type of bone resorption occurs in an uneven oblique direction affecting only one toothVertical bone lossContinued apical migration of the junctional epithelium isSite of active diseaseThe pathologic deepening of the gingival sulcus isPeriodontal pocketWhich of the following terms describes the new cases of a disease that occur within a given interval of timeIncidenceWhich of the following statements is an accurate, current view regarding risk factors for periodontal diseaseHost response plays a critical role in the progression of periodontal diseaseepidemiological researchVariables such as socioeconomic status are included in periodontal studies
Periodontal disease is one of the most widespread diseases in adult Americans
Research indicates that Black and Hispanic U.S. males have more periodontal disease
that White malesYour patient presented with early stages of periodontal disease. An example of risk factors you might investigate would beAny systemic diseases
Presence of plaque at the gingival margin
Presence of faulty margins on dental restorationsIntermittent disease progression refers toPeriods of disease activity and inactivityThe study of health and disease within a population isEpidemiologyAll of the following are radiolucent materials and structures, EXCEPT:
A. Tooth pulp
B. Enamel
C. Periodontalligamentspace
D. Marrow spaces in the boneEnamelThe normal level of the alveolar bone is approximately _____ apical to the cementoenamel junction.2mmWhen one of two adjacent teeth is tilted or erupted to a different height than its neighboring tooth, the crest of the interproximal bone will have a ____________ crest contour.AngularThe alveolar bone proper is the thin layer of dense bone that lines a normal tooth socket. On a radiograph, the alveolar bone proper is identified as the:Periodontal ligament spaceOn a radiograph, widening of the periodontal ligament space is an indication ofTooth mobilityOn a radiograph, when the crestal bone between two adjacent teeth has a pointed, triangular appearance, this is termedTriangulationRadiographs may useful in visualizing all of the following signs of periodontitis, EXCEPTPeriodontal pocketsThe best method for detection of subgingival calculus deposits isPeriodontal explorer
