What is toothbrush?
Explain impact and flushing zone
What are Impact zone means initial fluid contact near the gingival margin and Flushing zone means depth of fluid penetration within a subgingival sulcus or periodontal pocket?
Exudate is also classified as

Describe the different types of embrasure spaces
What are type I, II and III. Type I- fills the interdental space, Type II partially fills the space and Type III is the interdental papilla is missing.
Name two benefits of home irrigation

How many classes of mobility are there and describe each class
What are class I, II and III.
Class I—up to 1 mm horizontal displacement in a facial--lingual direction
Class II—greater than 1 mm but less than 2 mm of horizontal displacement in a facial--lingual direction
Class III—greater than 2 mm displacement in a facial--lingual direction or bouncing in the socket
Name a structure that appears dark grey to black
What are Tooth pulp, PDL space, Periapical abscess, Bone marrow spaces, Bone loss and defects?
Time period for re-evaluation
What is 4-6 weeks?
What is an interdental brush?
What are Periodontal maintenance, Those noncompliant with dental floss, Individuals with special needs, Around dental implants, Individuals with diabetes and Around orthodontic appliances?
What are I, II, III, and IV classes.
Class I—Curvature of concavity can be felt with the probe tip; the probe penetrates no more than 1 mm.
Class II—The probe tip penetrates into the furcation greater than 1 mm but does not pass through.
Class III—The probe passes completely through the furcation.
Class IV—Same as class III, except entrance to furca is clinically visible because of recession of the gingival margin.
Early sign of radiographic bone loss
What are Crestal irregularities; fuzziness instead of clean lines and Triangulation of periodontal ligament space; widening of PDL?
Short, sharp, painful reaction that occurs when areas of exposed dentin are subjected to mechanical, thermal, or chemical stimuli

What is 8-3= 5mm
Radiographs do not reveal
What are..... Presence or absence of periodontal pockets, Presence of early stages of alveolar bone loss, Precise morphology of existing alveolar bone destruction, Tooth mobility, Early furcation alveolar bone loss, Level of epithelial attachment on tooth and Information on periodontal disease activity?
