Oral PathologyPagets disease of bone is most likely to be found de novo among geriatric patients as it primarily affects individuals over 50 years of age, with increasing prevalence with advancing age. It is a disease of bone remodeling that becomes clinically apparent in older adults. Central giant cell granuloma typically affects younger individuals, while hyperparathyroidism and osteopetrosis are not age-specific to geriatric patients.

Public Health DentistryThe OHI-S (Oral Hygiene Index-Simplified) index of Greene and Vermillion evaluates oral hygiene by assessing the extent to which calculus and debris cover six specified tooth surfaces (Answer: 4). This index is a simplified version of the original OHI index and is widely used in dental practice and research to evaluate the level of oral hygiene. It looks at the presence of debris and calculus on the lingual, labial, and buccal surfaces of the upper right first molar, lower left first molar, upper right central incisor, and lower left central incisor.
