Which of the following serves to increase the width of attached gingiva on tooth with isolated gingival recession
1) Laterally positioned pedicle graft
2) Free gingival graft
3) Apically displaced flap
4) All of the above
Periodontics
Answer: 1
Increasing the width of attached gingiva is important for periodontal
health and aesthetics. Here’s how these techniques generally perform:
Laterally positioned pedicle graft involves using
tissue from an adjacent site to augment the width of attached gingiva at
the recession site without losing blood supply, making it quite
effective.
Free gingival graft can also increase attached
gingiva, but since it comes from a donor site, the healing and
appearance may not be optimal compared to pedicle grafts.
Apically displaced flap primarily repositions
existing tissue and may not necessarily increase the width of attached
gingiva.
While options 2 and 3 can contribute to increased connective tissue, they
don't specifically target the enhancement of attached gingival width as
effectively as a laterally positioned pedicle graft.
The treatment of choice for generalized fibrous gingival hyperplasia is
1. lateral pedicle flap
2. full thickness flap surgery
3. gingivectomy
4. root planning and curettage
Periodontics
Answer: 3
Fibrous gingival hyperplasia, also known as gingival overgrowth, is
characterized by an increase in the size of the gingival tissue due to an
excessive accumulation of collagen and other extracellular matrix components.
This condition can be caused by various factors, including certain medications
(like anticonvulsants, calcium channel blockers, and immunosuppressants),
hormonal changes, or chronic inflammation.
Stippling is seen on
1) Marginal gingiva
2) Attached gingiva
3) Interdental gingiva
4) None of the above
Periodontics
Answer: 2
Stippling is typically observed on the attached gingiva, indicating healthy
tissue.

1. ANUG
2. Herpetic gingivostomatitis
3. Juvenile periodontitis
4. None of the above
Periodontics
Answer: 2
Herpetic gingivostomatitis is commonly seen in preschool children.
Bone graft procedures are most successful in treating
1. Furcation involvements
2. Deep, two-wall craters
3. Narrow three-wall defects
4. None of the above
Periodontics
Answer: 3
Bone graft procedures are most successful in treating narrow three-wall defects.
Which of the following is the main constituent of plaque?
1. Calcium and phosphorus
2. Water
3. Microorganisms
4. Glycoproteins and monosaccharides
Periodontics
Answer: 3
Dental plaque is primarily made up of microbial communities, which play a
significant role in the development of dental diseases like caries and
periodontal disease.
