A: biopsy

Q: An early lesion is described as all of the following except:

- occurs within 2 to 4 days from bacterial accumulation
- epithelium proliferates
A: occurs within 2 to 4 days from bacterial accumulation

A: sulcular epithelium

Q: Case Study 1
Ms. Breathe arrives for her 6-month recall appointment. She is a healthy 45-year-old female, and there are no changes noted in the medical history. During the examination you discover she has six 6-mm pockets, Class III furcations located on all second molars, and no recession.

Reference: Ref 16-1

Open and read the attached case to answer the following question. What is a Class III furcation?
- Probe can be passed between the roots through the entire furcation
- Probe can enter but not pass between the roots
- Probe can enter furcation area but only slightly
- Probe can be passed between roots, and gingival recession is involved
A: Probe can be passed between the roots through the entire furcation

All of the following are functions of attached gingiva except to:
- give support to the marginal gingiva
- withstand the frictional stresses of mastication and toothbrushing
- aid in proper occlusion
- provide attachment
A: aid in proper occlusion

Q: Which of the following acts as a barrier to keep infection out?
- Sulcus
- Epithelial tissue
- Junctional epithelium
- Cementoenamel junction
A: Junctional epithelium

Q: A factor that lends assistance to, supplements, or adds to a condition or disease is a(n):
- predisposing factor
- contributing factor
- etiologic factor
- risk factor
A: contributing factor

Q: An exposure that increases the probability that a condition or disease will occur is what type of factor?
- Predisposing factor
- Contributing factor
- Etiologic factor
- Risk factor
A: Risk factor

Q: A local factor is a factor in the immediate environment of the oral cavity or specifically in the environment of the teeth or periodontium. A risk factor results from or is influenced by a general physical or mental disease or condition.

- occlusion
- normocclusion
- malocclusion
- regocclusion
A: malocclusion

Q: All of the following are steps that promote oral cleanliness and prevent deposits on the teeth except:
- saliva begins lubrication of food and oral tissues
- contact areas prevent interdental entrance
- gingival crest prevents retention of particles
- irregular alignment of teeth leaves areas conducive to collection of microorganisms
