Which of the following is more common in children
1) Gingivitis
2) Periodontitis
3) ANUG
4) Pericoronitis
Pedodontics
Answer: 1
Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums that is more common in children due to poor oral hygiene and accumulation of dental plaque. Periodontitis, on the other hand, is a more severe form of gum disease that typically occurs in adults due to prolonged or severe gingivitis. ANUG (Acute Necrotizing Ulcerative Gingivitis) is a specific type of severe gingival infection that is less common in children than gingivitis, and pericoronitis is an infection that occurs around the gum flap when a tooth is partially erupted, which is more common in teenagers and young adults.
Preeruptive caries is most common in permanent
1) Maxillary first molar
2) Maxillary second molar
3) Mandibular first molar
4) Mandibular second molar
Pedodontics
Answer: 4
Preeruptive caries refers to carious lesions that develop on teeth before they have erupted into the oral cavity. Research indicates that the mandibular second molars are particularly susceptible to preeruptive caries due to their position and the timing of their eruption. They are often more difficult to clean and can be affected by factors such as the presence of other teeth and the oral environment
