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.

Periodontics
Subgingival curettage involves removing the inflamed soft tissue lateral to the periodontal pocket wall. It is indicated in cases of oedematous gingivitis because the inflamed, soft, and retractable tissue is easier to remove and responds favorably to this procedure.
In contrast, fibrotic gingivitis involves dense, firm tissue that is not easily removed by curettage, and
infrabony pockets require more advanced procedures like surgical flap access for effective treatment.
