1. ANUG
2. JP
3. Chronic gingivitis
4. Adult periodontitis

Most commonly used desensitising agent
1) Iontophoresis
2) 2 % Fluoride
3) Formalin
4) Sodium hypochloride
Periodontics
Answer: 2
2% fluoride is one of the most commonly used desensitizing agents in dentistry. It works by strengthening enamel and reducing the permeability of dentin, which helps alleviate sensitivity in teeth. Fluoride treatments are widely used in clinical practice to manage dentinal hypersensitivity effectively.
The most effective method of preventing periodontal disease in the general population is

1. Grade I furcation
2. Grade II furcation
3. Grade III furcation
4. Grade IV furcation
Periodontics
Answer: 1

A hemiseptum is
1. one-wall defect
2. two-wall defect
3. three-wall defect
4. angular defect

seen in sites of periodontal bone loss.
Pigmentation of chemicals in mucosa is due to
1. Increased permeability of blood vessels
2. Local deposition of chemicals in muscosa
3. Subepithelial precipitation in connective tissue at the site due to increased capillary permeability
4. None of the above
Periodontics
Answer: 4
Pigmentation of chemicals in the mucosa is due to local deposition of chemicals in the mucosa.
