The most frequently occurring form of periodontitis is:, necrotizing periodontal disease, periodontitis, gingivitis associated with dental plaque only, periodontitis as a manifestation of systemic disease, In Stage II Grade B periodontitis, the gingival tissue may appear bright red or purplish. However, the clinical appearance of the tissues is not a reliable indicator of the presence or severity of periodontitis., Both statements are true, Both statements are false, The first statement is true; the second is false, The first statement is false; the second is true, A patient presents with the following: Pink gingival tissues; CEJ slightly coronal to the JE; No visible change in tissue contour; No visible change in tissue consistency. The hygienist classifies this periodontal disease as gingivitis associated with plaque only. Does she have enough information to make this decision?, Yes, because the tissues have a normal color, contour, and consistency, No, because the tissues can have these characteristics in periodontitis, Yes, because she performed a thorough clinical examination, No, because she did not assess the patient’s risk factors for periodontitis, All of the following are true of periodontitis, except:, gingival bleeding is a common clinical finding, signs may include periodontal pockets and tooth mobility, the disease always progresses at a rapid rate, host response plays an important role in pathogenesis, Your patient has had infrequent visits to the dentist. A periodontal assessment shows the following: Plaque biofilm that is consistent with the amount of inflammation; Swelling and redness of the gingiva; Bleeding on probing; Generalized loss of attachment. Which of the following is the most likely disease classification for this patient?, Plaque-induced gingivitis, Nonplaque-induced gingival disease, Periodontitis, Refractory periodontitis, Your patient is 40 years old. A periodontal assessment shows the following: Purplish, swollen gingiva; Recession of the gingival margin; Generalized loss of attachment that has not progressed from 2 years ago; Patient reports gums that bleed during brushing, but no pain. Which of the following is the most likely disease classification for this patient?, Plaque-induced gingivitis, Nonplaque-induced gingival disease, Periodontitis, Refractory periodontitis, A patient was successfully treated for periodontitis 2 years ago, but today presents with a reappearance of the signs and symptoms of periodontitis. The hygienist notices that the patient's self-care is not adequate. Which of the following is the most likely disease classification for this patient?, Periodontitis, Redundant periodontitis, Recurrent periodontitis, Refractory periodontitis, A patient has undergone repeated, appropriate periodontal therapy over the past 5 years. Today, the hygienist notes additional attachment loss at several sites. The patient practices satisfactory self-care and follows the recommended program of periodontal maintenance visits. Which of the following is the most likely disease classification for this patient?, Periodontitis, Redundant periodontitis, Recurrent periodontitis, Refractory periodontitis, A 50-year-old patient presents with 1 mm of attachment loss in most of the mouth; however, there is 6 mm of attachment loss present on the proximal surfaces of the maxillary first and second molars. Which of the following is the most likely disease classification for this patient?, Localized periodontitis, Redundant periodontitis, Recurrent periodontitis, Generalized periodontitis, Three months ago, a patient with periodontitis was seen for a maintenance visit. Three months ago, clinical attachment loss ranged from 4 to 6 mm. Today, he returns for a maintenance visit and the hygienist notes that there is no additional attachment loss in most areas of the mouth. The one exception is a 2-mm increase in clinical attachment loss on the distal proximal surface of tooth #20. How would you characterize the periodontal disease progression in this patient's mouth?, Disease progression is slow, Disease progression is rapid, Slight periodontitis, Moderate periodontitis, Three months ago, a patient with periodontitis was seen for a maintenance visit. Today, he returns for another maintenance visit and the hygienist notes that there is no additional attachment loss in most areas of the mouth. The one exception is a 2-mm increase in clinical attachment loss on the distal proximal surface of tooth #20. The area on tooth #20 is described as:, refractory disease, site-specific disease, recurrent disease, generalized disease, By far the most common type of periodontal disease is:, generalized periodontitis, periodontitis modified by systemic factors, necrotizing periodontitis, refractory periodontitis, All of the following are typical warning signs of periodontitis, except:, bad taste, loose teeth, swollen gingiva, pain, All of the following are characteristics of periodontitis, except:, horizontal bone loss, modified by smoking, common under 35, slow to moderate, Disease sites that have not responded successfully to treatment are characterized by:, increasing attachment loss, healthy plaque levels, white fibrotic tissue, localized pain, Refractory periodontitis occurs despite good self-care and appropriate therapy and regular maintenance visits. Recurrent periodontitis occurs because the patient did not control the bacterial plaque biofilm and/or the periodontal disease was not adequately treated., Both true, Both false, First true only, Second true only, The difference in severity between Stage II periodontitis and Stage III periodontitis is that:, less than 4 mm bone loss vs greater than 6 mm, PD ≤4 mm vs ≥5 mm, CAL 1–2 mm vs 3–4 mm, no BOP vs BOP, The therapeutic endpoints of periodontal therapy include all of the following, except:, reduce pockets 3 mm, eliminate etiology, preserve teeth, prevent recurrence, Which of the following terms are no longer valid diagnostic terms under the current periodontitis classification system?, recurrent and refractory, generalized and localized, aggressive and regressive, chronic and aggressive, Which of the following is not evidence of disease progression?, case phenotype, tooth loss, bone loss/age, longitudinal evaluation.
