Oral PathologyPierre Robin syndrome is classically associated with micrognathia (underdeveloped mandible), which is part of the classic triad including micrognathia, glossoptosis (posterior displacement of tongue), and cleft palate. While cleft palate is part of the syndrome, cleft lip is not typically associated. Tetralogy of Fallot and syndactyly are not characteristic features of Pierre Robin syndrome.

Answer: 2. Leukaemic
Explanation:
Conditional gingival enlargement (also known as inflammatory gingival enlargement) is caused by local irritants (like dental plaque) and is modified by systemic conditions. It is associated with hormonal changes (e.g., during pregnancy or puberty), certain medications (drug-induced), and is the underlying cause of lesions like granuloma pyogenicum.
Leukaemic gingival enlargement, however, is a non-inflammatory enlargement caused by the infiltration of leukaemic cells into the gingival tissues, which is a direct manifestation of systemic disease rather than a condition modifying a pre-existing inflammatory response.

Pharmacology
Pyridoxine – drug interactions : INH – induces a pyridoxine deficiency state
Levodopa – pyridoxine promotes peripheral conversion of levodopa to dopamine – thus it decreases therapeutic action of levodopa in the brain
Oral contraceptive pills – decrease pyridoxine levels in some females
Hydralazine – impairment of pyridoxine utilisation
4-deoxy pyridoxine – pyridoxine antagonist

NEETMDSSkeletal fluorosis is a chronic metabolic bone and joint disease caused by excessive intake of fluoride, typically through drinking water with high fluoride concentrations over many years. The condition usually develops when fluoride levels in drinking water are consistently in the range of 3-6 parts per million (ppm) or higher
