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.

2. ANUG
3. Erythema multiforme
4. Streptococcal gingivostomatitis
Periodontics

At 6 years of age, interdental papillary necrosis, ulceration, pain, bleeding, and pseudomembrane formation is seen in ANUG.
A hemiseptum is
1. one-wall defect
2. two-wall defect
3. three-wall defect
4. angular defect
Periodontics
Answer: 1
A hemiseptum refers to a periodontal defect with only one wall remaining, often
seen in sites of periodontal bone loss.
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. These are defects that extend from the crest of the alveolar bone to the alveolar crest and involve only one surface of the tooth root. The success of a bone graft in such cases is due to the presence of three walls of intact bone that can provide stability and support for the graft material, allowing for predictable and effective regeneration of the missing bone tissue.
Ostectomy procedure is indicated in
1. Physiological architecture of alveolar bone
2. Correction of tori
3. Reverse architecture bone defects
4. Correction of bone ledges
Periodontics
Answer: 3
Ostectomy procedures are indicated for reverse architecture bone defects.
