Question 1

The plaque biofilm associated with juvenile periodontitis is present in small amounts considering the severity of the periodontal defects because:

Accepted Answer

A)  All of the plaque biofilm is supragingival. 
B)  The primary pathogen in the biofilm does not create much extracellular matrix. 
C)  The primary pathogen creates extracellular matrix that forces the bacteria out of the pocket. 
D)  The primary pathogen creates a significant amount of extracellular matrix, leaving no space for bacteria to grow. 
A)  All of the plaque biofilm is supragingival. 
B)  The primary pathogen in the biofilm does not create much extracellular matrix. 
C)  The primary pathogen creates extracellular matrix that forces the bacteria out of the pocket. 
D)  The primary pathogen creates a significant amount of extracellular matrix, leaving no space for bacteria to grow.

Question 2

Probing pocket depth is not significant; the patient's ability to cleanse deeper pockets is not a factor in developing periodontal disease.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 3

All of the following diseases are forms of aggressive periodontitis except one.Which disease is the exception?

Accepted Answer

A)  Chronic periodontitis 
B)  Refractory periodontitis 
C)  Localized juvenile periodontitis 
D)  Rapidly progressive periodontitis 
A)  Chronic periodontitis 
B)  Refractory periodontitis 
C)  Localized juvenile periodontitis 
D)  Rapidly progressive periodontitis

Question 4

Clinical rather than bacterial diagnosis is not the primary method of classifying periodontal disease.

Accepted Answer

A) True 
 B)False

Question 5

Treatment for patients with advanced chronic periodontitis typically includes:

Accepted Answer

A)  Plaque biofilm education, removal of local etiologic factors, and control of associated factors 
B)  Removal of local etiologic factors and a referral to a specialist for evaluation 
C)  Plaque biofilm education, removal of local etiologic factors, control of associated factors, and a referral to a specialist for evaluation 
D)  Removal of local etiologic factors, control of associated factors, and a referral to a specialist for evaluation 
E)  Referral to a specialty periodontics practice for evaluation, plaque biofilm education, removal of local etiologic factors via surgical and nonsurgical means, and control of associated factors 
A)  Plaque biofilm education, removal of local etiologic factors, and control of associated factors 
B)  Removal of local etiologic factors and a referral to a specialist for evaluation 
C)  Plaque biofilm education, removal of local etiologic factors, control of associated factors, and a referral to a specialist for evaluation 
D)  Removal of local etiologic factors, control of associated factors, and a referral to a specialist for evaluation 
E)  Referral to a specialty periodontics practice for evaluation, plaque biofilm education, removal of local etiologic factors via surgical and nonsurgical means, and control of associated factors
