Dear colleagues, I would like to introduce this exam series in order to improve our language as well as knowledge skills.

I'm going to start here with (Periodontology), we got some questions need to be answered in the form of (Multiple Choice Questions).

Participations should submit answers via e-mail to my address using English language as a form of true or false for each choice even if there is (all of above), for example

Question:
1- Wesam Bassout is :
A. My name.
B. a 5th year dental student.
C. a moderator in Syrianmeds website.
D. All of above.

Answer of this question should be sent as following:
1- A. True
B. True.
C. True.
D. True.

My e-mail is : wesambassout@hotmail.co.uk.

The answers, all related discussions and information as well as your results will be posted here after a week..

Each Right choice = 1 MARK

Is it clear??!!! So hurry up, and prove your self here..

Godspeed …..

1- Dental Calculus:
A. is a causative agent in periodontitis.
B. Forms on the coronal aspects of teeth only.
C. Is plaque that has become mineralized with ions from gingival crevicular fluid.
D. Contains predominantly crystals of hydroxyapatite when mature.
E. Doesn't contain bacteria.

2- Guided Tissue Regeneration (GTR):
A. Is indicated in class I furcation defects.
B. Is dependent on the formation of a stable blood clot for best results.
C. Typically results in clinical improvements in probing depth, attachment levels and gingival recession.
D. Requires the use of non-resorbable membrane for best results.
E. Results in Osseointegration.

3- Regarding alveolar bone destruction in periodontitis:
A. Vertical bony defects have a better prognosis than horizontal defects following non-surgical treatment.
B. Fenestrations and dehiscences predispose sites periodontal breakdown
C. Three-walled vertical defects are well suited for treatment by GTR.
D. Radiographs provide an accurate representation of sites undergoing active bone loss.
E. Osteoclasts are stimulated to resorb bone by interferon-y.

4- A traumatic occlusal force on a tooth alone with a healthy periodontium will likely Cause:
A. Gingivitis.
B. Periodontal disease.
C. Radiographic widening of the periodontal membrane space.
D. Increased tooth mobility.
E. Gingival recession.

5- In periodontal health:
A. The width of keratinized gingiva is the same through the mouth.
B. The alveolar bone crest is at the same level as the cementoenamel junction.
C. Gingival crevicular Fluid is absent.
D. Teeth show no mobility.
E. There are no periodontal pockets.

6- The aim of root planning is to:
A. Remove calculus deposits and necrotic cementation.
B. Remove the entire cementum layer to expose dentine.
C. Remove the ulcerated epithelial pocket wall.
D. Facilitate healing by formation of a long junctional epithelium.
E. Obtain a new connective tissue attachment to the root surface.

7- Drugs that are known to cause gingival overgrowth include:
A. Ciclosporin.
B. Nifedipine.
C. Insulin.
D. Metronidazole.
E. Tetracycline.

8- Necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis (NUG):
A. Is a viral infection.
B. Is characterised by vesicles that break down to form yellow-grey ulcers with a red 'halo' of inflammation.
C. Is a painful condition.
D. is likely to recur in the absence of long-term maintenance.
E. Should always be treated using Metronidazole as the first line of treatment.

9- Mandibular first molars with grade I furcation involvement:
A. Demonstrate horizontal mobility of > 1.0 mm.
B. Are almost certainly non-vital.
C. Have horizontal attachment loss of < 1/3 the width of the tooth.
D. Should be managed using a tunnel preparation.
E. May be managed using GTR.

10- a localised acute periodontal abscess:
A. Is almost certainly associated with non-vital tooth.
B. Should be managed initially using systemic antimicrobials.
C. Often tracks through the alveolar bone, resulting in a buccal sinus opening.
D. Is usually painful when the associated tooth is percussed.
E. Should be managed initially using locally delivered antimicrobials.

GOOD LUCK, and waiting for your participations..

Ciao, WESM..

Hi All, Where r u , I' would like to extent the period of this test until the end of February.

and awaiting for your answers..

I'm so sorry to lating..
I am going to send my answers after 2 days Insha'allah..
Thank you Wesam, and please my freinds try to think and send your answers..

Dear Friends, as I see the activity of dental club is refreshed again, therefore I 'm hopefully expecting your answers and your participations in this test, cuz I'm going to post a clinical test but only after finishing this one.

Waiting again, this is the last call to challenge your colleagues...
