Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Periodontal disease is a condition that causes bone loss around the teeth due to inflammation and infection of the gums and supporting structures. Trismus is a limited opening of the mouth due to muscle spasm or trauma. Myalgia is muscle pain. Occlusal trauma refers to excessive force on the teeth due to an abnormal bite. While occlusal trauma can lead to bone loss, it is not as common as periodontal disease as a cause of bone loss on radiographs.
