Oral PathologyMyositis ossificans would NOT cause pathologic fractures of maxilla or mandible because it involves ossification within muscle tissue, not weakening of existing bone structure. Bone cysts, multiple myeloma, and giant cell tumor all cause bone destruction and weakening, predisposing to pathologic fractures. Myositis ossificans actually adds calcified tissue rather than destroying bone.

Public Health DentistrySigurd Ramfjord introduced the Periodontal Disease Index a clinical tool that used a periodontal probe , with marks at 3, 6 and 8 mm, to measure the distance from the cemento–enamel junction to the bottom of the pocket (i.e. attachment loss) Ramfjord recommended the assessment of six ‘index teeth’ that soon became known as the ‘Ramfjord teeth’ These teeth were: maxillary right first molar (tooth 16), maxillary left central incisor (tooth 11), maxillary left first bicuspid (tooth 24), mandibular left first molar (tooth 36), mandibular right central incisor (tooth 41) and mandibular right first bicuspid (tooth 44).

Oral Pathology
Explanation: It is caused by a gram-negative fungus: This statement
is not true. Thrush is caused by Candida albicans,
which is a yeast (fungus) but not a gram-negative organism. In fact, fungi
are not classified as gram-positive or gram-negative in the same way that
bacteria are. Candida is a eukaryotic organism and does not fit
into the gram classification system. It is characterized by a plaque of proliferating epithelial and
other cells: This statement is true. Thrush
presents as white patches or plaques in the oral cavity, which consist of
fungal elements, dead epithelial cells, and inflammatory cells. It is a complication of immunosuppression or systemic disease:
This statement is true. Thrush is commonly seen in
individuals who are immunocompromised, such as those with HIV/AIDS, cancer
patients undergoing chemotherapy, or individuals on long-term corticosteroid
therapy. It can affect neonates in an epidemic fashion: This
statement is true. Thrush can indeed affect neonates,
particularly those born to mothers with vaginal candidiasis, and outbreaks
can occur in neonatal intensive care units.
