periodontics - 3 Questions

1
Periodontics
Least width of attached gingival is found on the facial aspect of
1) Ist premolar
2) 2nd premolar
3) Lateral incisor
4) Canine

πŸ“ Explanation:

The width of attached gingiva varies by tooth and location:

Maxillary teeth: Greatest width at the central incisors (3.5–4.5 mm), least at the first premolars (1.9 mm).

Mandibular teeth: Greatest width at the incisors (3.3–3.5 mm), least at the first premolars (1.8 mm).

So, the least width of attached gingiva on the facial aspect is found at the first premolar.

Periodontics
Which of the following flaps eliminates pocket as well as increase width of attached gingiva
1) Unrepositioned flap
2) Apical displaced flap
3) Laterally displaced flap
4) Coronally displaced flap

πŸ“ Explanation:

The apically displaced flap procedure is a common surgical technique in periodontology that achieves two goals: the elimination of periodontal pockets and an increase in the width of the attached gingiva. 

 By surgically moving the gingival flap in an apical direction, the procedure exposes more tooth structure and repositioning the gingival margin at a more apical level, thus reducing or eliminating the pocket depth and simultaneously increasing the amount of keratinized, attached gingiva.
