- specialized mucosa
- stratified mucosa
A: stratified mucosa

Q: The following describes which gingival fiber group: from the cementum in the cervical region into the free gingiva to give support to the gingiva?
- Dentogingival fibers
- Circumferential fibers
- Alveologingival fibers
- Transseptal fibers
A: Dentogingival fibers

Q: Apical fibers extend from the root apex to adjacent surrounding bone to resist vertical forces. Interradicular fibers extend from the cementum in the middle of each root to adjacent alveolar bone to resist tipping of the tooth.

A: The first statement is true and the second statement is false

Q: The function of cementum is to:
- seal the tubules of the root dentin and provide attachment for the periodontal fiber groups
- provide attachment for the periodontal fiber groups only
- seal the tubules of the enamel
- provide attachment for the dentin
A: seal the tubules of the root dentin and provide attachment for the periodontal fiber groups

Q: The thickness of cementum is 50 to 200 µm about the apex and 30 to 60 µm about the cervical area. The vascular and nerve connections are present; therefore, cementum is sensitive.

- The first statement is false and the second statement is false
A: The first statement is true and the second statement is false

Q: The free gingival groove is a shallow linear groove that demarcates the free from the attached gingiva. In the absence of inflammation and pocket formation, the gingival groove runs somewhat parallel with and about 0.5 to 1.5 mm from the gingival margin.
- The first statement is true and the second statement is true
- The first statement is false and the second statement is true
- The first statement is true and the second statement is false
- The first statement is false and the second statement is false
A: The first statement is true and the second statement is true

Q: The gingival sulcus is:
- the shallow linear groove that demarcates the free from the attached gingiva
- the cufflike band of stratified squamous epithelium
- the crevice between the free gingiva and the tooth
- the narrow fold of mucous membrane that passes from a more fixed to a movable part
A: the crevice between the free gingiva and the tooth

Q: Gingival crevicular fluid is:
- fluid portion of the blood that seeps from the epithelial lining of the attachment apparatus
- serum-like fluid that seeps from the connective tissue through the epithelial lining of the sulcus or pocket
- white blood cells that seep into the pockets or sulcus
- serum that seeps from the connective tissue through the masticatory lining
A: serum-like fluid that seeps from the connective tissue through the epithelial lining of the sulcus or pocket

Q: Junctional epithelium is a cuff-like band of stratified squamous epithelium that is continuous with the sulcular epithelium and completely encircles the tooth. The junctional epithelium or attachment epithelium provides a seal at the base of the sulcus.
- The first statement is true and the second statement is true
- The first statement is false and the second statement is true
- The first statement is true and the second statement is false
- The first statement is false and the second statement is false
A: The first statement is true and the second statement is true

Q: What is a type I embrasure?
- Slight to moderate recession of the interdental gingiva
- Extensive recession or complete loss of the papilla
- Moderate recession of the interdental papilla
- Gingival tissue fills the area
A: Gingival tissue fills the area

Q: Which of the following is not true about the mucogingival junction?
- The mucogingival junction appears as a line that marks the connection between the attached gingiva and the alveolar mucosa
- The mucogingival line is found on the facial surface of all quadrants and on the lingual surface of the mandibular arch
- The anterior line is straight, but it is fairly scalloped posterior to the premolars
- Contrast can be seen between the pink of the keratinized, stippled, attached gingiva and the darker alveolar mucosa
A: The anterior line is straight, but it is fairly scalloped posterior to the premolars

Q: Which of the following statements best describes alveolar mucosa?
- Movable tissue, smooth, shiny surface with nonkeratinized, thin epithelium
- Immovable tissue, stippled, dense surface with keratinized, thin epithelium
- Movable tissue, stippled, shiny surface with nonkeratinized, thick epithelium
- Immovable tissue, smooth, shiny surface with keratinized, thin epithelium
A: Movable tissue, smooth, shiny surface with nonkeratinized, thin epithelium

Q: Which of the following should not be designated as clinically normal or clinically healthy?
- Shade of pale or coral pink varied by complexion and pigmentation
- Knife-edged gingival margin that adapts closely around the tooth
- Smooth, soft, and maximal sulcus depth with bleeding when probed
- Stippling, firmness, and minimal sulcus depth with no bleeding when probed
A: Smooth, soft, and maximal sulcus depth with bleeding when probed

Q: Disease changes do not produce alterations in color, size, position, shape, consistency, surface texture, bleeding readiness, and exudate production. Biofilm is involved in the changes that take place in the gingival tissues during the transition from health to disease.
- The first statement is true and the second statement is true
- The first statement is false and the second statement is true
- The first statement is true and the second statement is false
- The first statement is false and the second statement is false
A: The first statement is false and the second statement is true

Q: Signs of health in the gingiva include all of the following except:
- pale pink color
- fit snugly around the tooth
- knife-edged margin
- firm when palpated
- bleeding on probing
A: bleeding on probing

Q: Factors that influence color are vascular supply, thickness of epithelium, and degree of keratinization. Chronic inflammation appears as a dark red, bluish red, magenta, or deep blue.

- The first statement is false and the second statement is false
A: The first statement is true and the second statement is true

Q: Stillman's cleft is a localized recession that may be in a V shape that extends several millimeters toward the mucogingival junction. Floss cleft is created by using the floss correctly.

- leathery, smooth surface
- leathery, stippled surface
- leathery, soft surface
A: leathery, hard, or nodular surface

Q: Gingivitis occurs frequently in children, but is usually reversible without having permanent damage. Periodontal disease cannot occur in children.
