What is the main difference between gingivitis and periodontitis?


✔✔Gingivitis is confined to inflammation of the gums, while periodontitis involves deeper

tissue damage and bone loss.




What does scaling and root planing involve?


✔✔It involves the removal of plaque and calculus from the teeth surfaces and smoothing the root

surfaces to promote gum reattachment.




What is a periodontal pocket?




1

,✔✔A periodontal pocket is a deepened space between the tooth and gum tissue caused by

periodontal disease.




What is the role of fluoride in periodontal health?

periodontal health.




How often should a patient with periodontal disease visit the dentist?


✔✔They should visit the dentist regularly, typically every 3-4 months, for maintenance and

monitoring.




What is the purpose of periodontal surgery?


✔✔To correct advanced periodontal issues, such as severe gum recession or bone loss, and to

restore the function and health of periodontal tissues.




What is the primary cause of periodontal disease?


✔✔The primary cause of periodontal disease is the accumulation of plaque and tartar on the

teeth.




2

,What is the difference between localized and generalized periodontitis?


✔✔Localized periodontitis affects a small number of sites, while generalized periodontitis

What is a dental plaque biofilm?


✔✔A dental plaque biofilm is a sticky, colorless film of bacteria that forms on teeth and can lead

to periodontal disease if not removed.




What is the role of systemic antibiotics in periodontal therapy?


✔✔Systemic antibiotics are used to help control bacterial infections in more severe cases of

periodontal disease, often in conjunction with mechanical cleaning.




What is the difference between a periodontal abscess and a periapical abscess?


✔✔A periodontal abscess is located in the periodontal tissue, while a periapical abscess is

located at the tip of the tooth's root.




What are the common risk factors for developing periodontitis?


✔✔Risk factors include smoking, diabetes, poor oral hygiene, and genetic predisposition.




3

, What does the term "clinical attachment loss" (CAL) refer to?


✔✔Clinical attachment loss refers to the loss of the connective tissue attachment between the

tooth and the surrounding periodontal tissues.




What is the primary method for diagnosing periodontitis?


✔✔Periodontitis is primarily diagnosed through clinical examination, probing depths, and

radiographic imaging to assess bone loss.




What is the significance of periodontal probing?


✔✔Periodontal probing measures the depth of periodontal pockets and helps assess the extent of

periodontal disease.




How does smoking affect periodontal health?


✔✔Smoking impairs blood flow to the gums, reduces the effectiveness of immune response, and

can lead to more severe periodontal disease.




What is the role of host response in periodontal disease?


✔✔The host response refers to the body's immune reaction to the bacterial infection in the

periodontal tissues, influencing the severity and progression of the disease.
