Which type of periodontal disease is most likely?, Drug-influenced enlargement, Plaque-induced gingivitis, Candidosis gingivitis, Pregnancy gingivitis, The dental clinician notes the following clinical signs during the periodontal assessment of a young female teenager: small amount plaque biofilm present at the gingival margin, gingival tissues appear bright red and soft, bleeding upon gentle probing, gingival margin slightly coronal to the CEJ, probing depths of 2 to 3 mm, and an inflammatory response that seems exaggerated given the small amount of plaque biofilm.

Which answer is correct?, First true, Both true, Second true, Both false, Which flavor additive is a common cause of intraoral allergic reactions?, Licorice, Lemon, Cinnamon, Strawberry, Periodontal health is best described as:, Free of inflammation, No discomfort, Intact bone, Recovered disease, A pink gingiva is an indicator of gingival health. A dark brownish gingiva is an indicator of gingivitis. Which answer is correct?, Both true, First true, Second true, Both false, The contour of the healthy gingival margin is __________ as it moves from one tooth to another., Sharp angled, Scalloped, Jagged, Straight, In health, the attached gingiva is:, Keratinized, attached, Keratinized, detached, Nonkeratinized, detached, Nonkeratinized, attached, If a periodontium has no loss of periodontal tissue, it is classified as:, Complex, Reduced, Periodontic, Intact, A patient’s record indicates that they lost a small amount of alveolar bone to periodontitis about 5 years ago. Since the patient’s initial treatment, the periodontitis has remained in remission. Which term should the hygienist use when describing this patient’s periodontium to the dentist?, Reduced, Partial, Intact, Complex, If a patient with dental biofilm-induced gingivitis exhibits inflammation affecting the gingival margin and the papilla, their distribution of inflammation is categorized as __________ gingivitis., diffuse, papillary, marginal, generalized, Which type of distribution of inflammation includes the gingival margin, papilla, and attached gingiva?, Marginal gingivitis, Generalized gingivitis, Papillary gingivitis, Diffuse gingivitis, If bleeding upon probing affects 20 percent of sites, and there is an absence of bone loss and/or clinical attachment loss attributed to periodontitis, the patient should be given a diagnosis of:, reduced gingivitis, localized gingivitis, generalized gingivitis, gingival health, To have generalized gingivitis, bleeding upon probing must affect:, no more than 5 percent of sites, at least 15 percent of sites, at least 30 percent of sites, no more than 40 percent of sites, A successfully treated stable periodontitis patient with gingivitis will have:, Bone loss only, Neither loss present, Attachment loss only, Both attachment and bone loss, A successfully treated periodontitis patient can revert to being classified as dental biofilm-induced gingivitis on an intact periodontium. A successfully treated periodontitis patient requires lifelong supportive care., First true only, Both false, Second true only, Both true, Which of the following is classified as an oral factor that enhances plaque biofilm accumulation?, Oral contraceptives, Hyposalivation, Hyperglycemia, Smoking, Current oral contraceptive concentrations are much higher than early contraceptive agents, making them more likely to induce clinical changes in the gingiva. Smokers often exhibit gingival fibrosis, the formation of an abnormal amount of fibrous tissue., Second true only, First true only, Both false, Both true, A nutritional deficiency of __________ has well-documented effects on the periodontium, often causing characteristics similar to biofilm-induced gingivitis., Niacin, Vitamin D, Calcium, Vitamin C, Which of the following patients is most likely to be taking a type of medication that can cause gingival enlargement?, Cedric, hypertension, Anja, arthritis, Maria, cataracts, Shichiro, migraines, Hereditary gingival fibromatosis is a rare benign oral condition characterized by the slow and progressive:, Both retraction, One-arch enlargement, Maxillary retraction, Both-arch enlargement.
