introduction

introDuCtion

This book aims to cover most of the aspects required in finals for dentistry. It tries to cover a broad section of subjects, most of which are the “examiner’s favourites”. There is a mixture of questions with some requiring straightforward recognition and others requiring the application of knowledge. All of the most basic subjects are covered and some of the more complex subjects. Hopefully this will be a good revision aid to those revising for finals.

E Prevotella intermedia

6.2 When looking at the notes of a patient, you see annotation for a Basic Periodontal Examination (BPE). What does a score of 3 mean on this particular index?

A Gingival bleeding, no overhangs or calculus, pockets > 3.5 mm

B Pockets within colour‑coded area, 4.5–6.5 mm

C Colour‑coded area disappears, pockets > 5.5 mm

D Pockets within colour‑coded area, 3.5–5.5 mm

E Colour‑coded area disappears, pockets > 5.5 mm

6.3 Which one of the following statements regarding acute necrotising ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG) is true?

A It is caused by Gram‑positive anaerobic bacteria

6.1 D

All of the bacteria in the list are responsible for adult periodontitis except S. sonnei, which is responsible for acute diarrhoea.

6.2 D

The WHO probe is used for carrying out BPE. The index is shown below.

Score Disease0 No disease1 Gingival bleeding, no overhangs or calculus, pockets

< 3.5 mm2 No pockets > 3.5 mm, no supragingival calculus or

subgingival overhangs present 3 Pockets within the colour‑coded area, 3.5–5.5 mm4 Colour‑coded area disappears, pockets > 5.5 mm

6.3 E

ANUG is caused by Gram‑negative aerobic bacteria, usually in the mandible, has a very distinctive smell (fetor oris) and is more common in smokers and those with poor oral hygiene.

6.4 Correct treatment of a patient with ANUG is:

A 20% chlorhexidine mouthwashes twice daily

B Amoxicillin 500 mg three times daily for 5 days and 20% chlorhexidine mouth washes twice daily

C Erythromycin 250 mg four times daily for 5 days and 20% chlorhexidine mouthwashes twice daily

D Scaling and oral hygiene instruction

E Metronidazole 400 mg three times daily for 5 days and hydrogen peroxide mouthwash twice daily

6.5 Which one of the following statements about tooth mobility is incorrect?

A Movement of a crown of the tooth in the horizontal plane of less than 0.2 mm is considered normal

B Grade 1 means movement of the crown of a tooth in the horizontal plane is 0.2–1 mm

C Grade 2 means movement of the crown of a tooth in the horizontal plane is greater than 1 mm

D Grade 3 means movement of the crown of a tooth in the horizontal plane is greater than 3 mm

E Grade 3 means movement of the crown of a tooth in the vertical plane

6.6 Which one of the following clinical conditions predispose patients with impaired/defective neutrophil function to severe periodontitis?

A Patterson–Brown–Kelly syndrome

B Chediak–Higashi disease

C Hypothyroidism

D Hyperthyroidism

E Gardner’s syndrome

6.4 E

ANUG is a very painful condition. The most efficacious mouthwash is hydrogen peroxide, and the bacterial component is treated with metronidazole. Amoxicillin and erythromycin would be ineffective in treatment of this condition.

6.5 D

Tooth mobility is graded as shown in the table below.

Grade Description 1 Movement of the crown of a tooth in the horizontal plane is 0.2–1 mm

2 Movement of the crown of a tooth in the horizontal plane is greater than 1 mm

3 Movement of the crown of a tooth in the vertical plane

6.6 B

None of the others are relevant to periodontal disease.



6.7 Which one of the following is associated with abnormal collagen formation leading to periodontal disease?

A Type 1 diabetes mellitus

B Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome

C Hypophosphatasia

D Type 2 diabetes mellitus

E Hyperphosphatasia

6.7 C

Hypophosphatasia, as well as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome are associated with abnormal collagen formation and periodontal disease. Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome is associated with abnormal neutrophil function, which leads to periodontal disease.

6.8 D

The probe shown is the Williams’ probe, which has 1 mm increments for accurate measurement of the pocket depth.



6.9 In juvenile periodontitis, which bacterium is the recognised aetiological agent?

A Porphyromonas gingivalis

B Prevotella intermedia

C Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans

D Borrelia burgdorferi

E Fusobacterium intermedium

6.10 Which teeth are most commonly affected in juvenile periodontitis?

A Incisors and first permanent molars

B Incisors and canines

C Canines and premolars

D Premolars and first permanent molars

E Canines and first permanent molars

6.11 For which teeth/surfaces would you use a Gracey no 1 or no 2 curette when scaling?

A All teeth

B All surfaces of anterior teeth

C Mesial surfaces of anterior teeth

D All surfaces of posterior teeth

E Mesial surfaces of posterior teeth

6.9 C

A. actinomycetemcomitans is a capnophilic, non‑motile rod that possesses a potent leucotoxin, which causes lysis of polymorphonuclear leucocytes.

6.10 A

As these are the first teeth to erupt, they seem to be the teeth which are affected most by juvenile periodontitis.

6.11 B

A Gracey no 1 or no 2 is ideally shaped to facilitate scaling of all surfaces of anterior teeth.
