Question 1

Select the instruments that would be included on the periodontal surgical tray setup.&#10;A)Tissue forceps&#10;B)High-volume surgical aspirating tip&#10;C)Periosteal elevator&#10;D)Disposable irrigating syringe for sterile saline solution&#10;E)All of the above

Accepted Answer

All of the instruments listed (tissue forceps, high-volume surgical aspirating tip, periosteal elevator, and disposable irrigating syringe for sterile saline solution) are necessary for a periodontal surgical tray setup.

Question 2

Which instrument is used to measure the horizontal and vertical pocket depths of multirooted teeth?&#10;A)Periodontal probe&#10;B)Furcation probe&#10;C)Curette&#10;D)Millimeter ruler&#10;E)All of the above

Accepted Answer

Furcation probe is specifically designed to measure the depth of furcation involvement in multirooted teeth. Periodontal probe measures pocket depths in general, while curette is used for scaling and root planing. A millimeter ruler can also be used to measure pocket depths, but it may not be as accurate as specialized probes.

Question 3

Which instrument is used before implant placement or periodontal plastic surgery and for ridge augmentation?&#10;A)Interdental file&#10;B)Periodontal kidney-shaped knife&#10;C)Interdental spear-point knife&#10;D)Peristome

Accepted Answer

A peristome is used in dental procedures for preparing the bone before implant placement, periodontal plastic surgery, and ridge augmentation.

Question 4

_____________________ is a type of instrument used to measure the pocket depth in millimeter increments.&#10;A)Millimeter ruler&#10;B)Periodontal explorer&#10;C)Periodontal probe

Accepted Answer

A periodontal probe is specifically designed to measure the depth of the periodontal pockets, which is important in diagnosing and treating gum disease. A millimeter ruler may not be precise enough, and a periodontal explorer is used to detect cavities and other irregularities in the tooth surface.

Question 5

A periodontal kidney-shaped knife is used&#10;A)to bevel an incision for gingivectomy.&#10;B)to cut interdental gingiva.&#10;C)before placement of implants.&#10;D)to measure periodontal pockets.

Accepted Answer

A periodontal kidney-shaped knife is typically used to bevel an incision for gingivectomy, which involves the removal or reshaping of gum tissue to improve periodontal health.

Question 6

Which instrument is used to remove subgingival and supragingival calculus in a pulling motion?&#10;A)Curette&#10;B)Periodontal probe&#10;C)Interdental spear-point knife&#10;D)Mesial/distal, buccal/lingual hoe&#10;E)Back-action hoe

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which instrument is used to remove subgingival...

Question 7

A back-action hoe removes bone adjacent to teeth without causing trauma.

Accepted Answer

A back-action hoe is a dental instrument that allows dentists to remove bone adjacent to teeth without causing trauma to the surrounding tissues. It uses a gentle up-and-down motion to create precise and controlled removal of bone, making it a useful tool in many dental procedures.

Question 8

_____________________ is a type of a periodontal surgical instrument that is used for gingivoplasty.&#10;A)Periodontal probe&#10;B)Periodontal knife&#10;C)Periodontal scaler

Accepted Answer

A periodontal knife is specifically designed for gingivoplasty, which involves reshaping and contouring the gum tissue. A periodontal probe is used for measuring pocket depths and a periodontal scaler is used for removing calculus from the teeth.

Question 9

Which instrument is used to measure periodontal pocket depth in millimeter increments?&#10;A)Furcation probe&#10;B)Periodontal probe&#10;C)Curette&#10;D)Millimeter ruler&#10;E)All of the above

Accepted Answer

A periodontal probe is specifically designed to measure the depth of the gingival crevice or periodontal pocket. It has markings in millimeter increments to measure the pocket depth accurately. A furcation probe is used to detect furcation involvement in multi-rooted teeth, and a curette is used for subgingival scaling and root planing. A millimeter ruler can be used as a substitute for measuring pocket depth, but it is not as accurate as a periodontal probe. Therefore, the best choice is B, periodontal probe, as it is specifically designed for this purpose.

Question 10

Which instrument is used to crush and remove heavy deposits from subgingival and supragingival interproximal areas?&#10;A)Interdental file&#10;B)Periodontal kidney-shaped knife&#10;C)Interdental spear-point knife&#10;D)Epitome

Accepted Answer

Interdental files are specifically designed to crush and remove heavy deposits from both subgingival and supragingival interproximal areas.

Question 11

Which instrument is used for interdental cutting of gingiva and removal of tissue?&#10;A)Peristome&#10;B)Periodontal kidney-shaped knife&#10;C)Interdental spear-point knife&#10;D)Interdental file&#10;E)Curette

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which instrument is used for interdental cutting...

Question 12

Which instrument crushes and removes heavy deposits from subgingival and supragingival interproximal areas of a tooth?&#10;A)Peristome&#10;B)Periodontal kidney-shaped knife&#10;C)Interdental spear-point knife&#10;D)Interdental file&#10;E)Curette

Accepted Answer

The answer of Which instrument crushes and removes heavy deposits...
