Identify the wrong statement regarding true except
1. Association with gingivitis
2. Associated with periodontitis
3. May not cause bleeding on probing
4. None of the above

The only clinical criteria used to test efficacy of coronoplasty is
1. Reduction in pocket depth
2. Reduction in gingival inflammation
3. Reduction in teeth mobility
4. All of the above
Pedodontics
Answer: 3
The only clinical criteria used to test the efficacy of coronoplasty is reduction in teeth mobility.
The existence of a 2 mm diastema between the fully erupted maxillary permanent central incisors of a 7 year old
child may be attributed to
1. a prominent anterior nasal spine
2 a broad nasal septum
3 failure of fusion of the premaxillae
4. the normal eruption pattern of these teeth
Pedodontics
Answer: 4
A diastema, or space between teeth, can be a normal finding in children, especially during the mixed dentition phase. The presence of a 2 mm diastema between the maxillary central incisors in a 7-year-old is often due to the normal eruption pattern of these teeth, as they may not yet be fully aligned or spaced appropriately.
