Introduction
INTRODUCTION
This book aims to cover most of the aspects required in finals for dentistry. It tries
to cover a broad section of subjects, most of which are the “examiner’s favourites”.
There is a mixture of questions with some requiring straightforward recognition and
others requiring the application of knowledge. All of the most basic subjects are
covered and some of the more complex subjects. Hopefully this will be a good
revision aid to those revising for finals.

6.3 Which one of the following statements regarding acute necrotising
ulcerative gingivitis (ANUG) is true?

6.1 D
All of the bacteria in the list are responsible for adult periodontitis except S. sonnei,
which is responsible for acute diarrhoea.
6.2 D
The WHO probe is used for carrying out BPE. The index is shown below.
Score Disease
0 No disease
1 Gingival bleeding, no overhangs or calculus, pockets
< 3.5 mm
2 No pockets > 3.5 mm, no supragingival calculus or
subgingival overhangs present
3 Pockets within the colour-coded area, 3.5–5.5 mm
4 Colour-coded area disappears, pockets > 5.5 mm
6.3 E
ANUG is caused by Gram-negative aerobic bacteria, usually in the mandible, has a
very distinctive smell (fetor oris) and is more common in smokers and those with
poor oral hygiene.

6.4 E
ANUG is a very painful condition. The most efficacious mouthwash is hydrogen
peroxide, and the bacterial component is treated with metronidazole. Amoxicillin
and erythromycin would be ineffective in treatment of this condition.
6.5 D
Tooth mobility is graded as shown in the table below.
Grade Description
1 Movement of the crown of a tooth in the horizontal plane is 0.2–1 mm
2 Movement of the crown of a tooth in the horizontal plane is greater than
1 mm
3 Movement of the crown of a tooth in the vertical plane
6.6 B
None of the others are relevant to periodontal disease.

Hypophosphatasia, as well as Ehlers–Danlos syndrome are associated with
abnormal collagen formation and periodontal disease. Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome is
associated with abnormal neutrophil function, which leads to periodontal disease.
6.8 D
The probe shown is the Williams’ probe, which has 1 mm increments for accuratemeasurement of the pocket depth.

6.9 C
A. actinomycetemcomitans is a capnophilic, non-motile rod that possesses a potent
leucotoxin, which causes lysis of polymorphonuclear leucocytes.
6.10 A
As these are the first teeth to erupt, they seem to be the teeth which are affected
most by juvenile periodontitis.
6.11 B
A Gracey no 1 or no 2 is ideally shaped to facilitate scaling of all surfaces of
anterior teeth.
