Question 6

Women who are taking oral contraceptives or who are on hormone replacement therapy can exhibit gingival changes similar to pregnancy gingivitis.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 7

The disappearance of stippling occurs during which stage of gingivitis?

Accepted Answer

A)  Stage I 
B)  Stage II 
C)  Stage III 
D)  Stage IV 
A)  Stage I 
B)  Stage II 
C)  Stage III 
D)  Stage IV

Question 8

Stage III gingivitis

Accepted Answer

A) T and B lymphocytes are present, junctional epithelium converts to pocket epithelium, tissue destruction takes place, and pus formation is a result of serum seepage into the tissues and inflammatory cell activity. 
B) Damage to both the gingival tissue and the periodontium has occurred. 
C) Gingival bleeding, tissue swelling as PMNs appear and engulf bacteria, and subclinical infection occur. 
D) Lesions, T-lymphocytes, and white or yellow exudate appear, and tissue is slightly red and swollen.Collagen fibers are destroyed.Stippling disappears, and gingiva appears shiny and bleeds on probing and during brushing and flossing.

D)  Corticosteroid 
A)  Nifedipine

Question 10

Use the following description to complete the following exercises.
Patient DAS is a 40-year-old woman in excellent health who takes no medications.Clinical examination of the gingival tissues reveals severe redness and shininess that is localized to the anterior sextants.The tissues in those areas also appear rounded and are soft when gently depressed with the side of the periodontal probe.The posterior gingiva is coral pink and firm, with knife-edged marginal gingiva and papillae that fill the interdental spaces.Slight bleeding on probing is localized to the anterior sextants.
-The scenario describes which condition of the gingival tissues?

Accepted Answer

A)  Generalized swelling of the tissues is evident. 
B)  The condition is plaque biofilm-induced gingivitis. 
C)  The condition is likely to be hormone-induced gingivitis. 
D)  DAS is a mouth breather, which results in localized inflammation. 
E)  No gingivitis is clinically evident in the posterior sextants.
