EndodonticsIn primary teeth, intrusion is common because alveolar bone is pliable. Primary teeth characteristics that predispose to intrusion: 1) The alveolar bone around primary teeth is more cancellous and flexible, 2) This pliable bone allows the tooth to be pushed deeper into the socket rather than being displaced laterally or avulsed, 3) The root structure of primary teeth also contributes to this pattern. While vertical overlap and lip protection may influence injury patterns, the primary factor is the pliable nature of the developing alveolar bone in children.

PeriodonticsThe circular fibers are part of the gingivodental group and are located in the marginal gingiva, encircling the teeth. In contrast, the alveolar crest, transseptal, and horizontal fibers are part of the periodontal ligament.

Physiology
Answer: 1) Induction of glucokinase
Explanation: Insulin enhances glucose uptake in the liver by inducing the synthesis of glucokinase, an enzyme that converts glucose into glucose-6-phosphate. This "glucose trapping" mechanism keeps intracellular glucose levels low and promotes further glucose entry into the cell.
