Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Occlusal traumatism is a degenerative noninflammatory periodontal condition resulting in the destruction of the periodontium, because the supporting structures of the teeth cannot withstand the heavy forces. Fremitus is the vibration of teeth used in part to determine occlusal trauma. A mucogingival condition is characterized by periodontal disease extending beyond the attached gingiva and into the alveolar mucosa. Inadequate attached gingiva is a condition of having less than 1 mm of attached gingiva and results in a mucogingival problem.
