Wild Card
100

The periodontal structure that normally appears as a thin, radiolucent line of uniform thickness around the root

Periodontal ligament space

100

TRUE OR FALSE: Vertical boneless appears in an uneven direction

TRUE

100

This is the IMAGE OF CHOICE for evaluating Periodontal Disease

Periapical Image

100

Defective restorations can act as local contributing factors for periodontal disease because they are

Severe plaque traps and cause localized bone loss

200

The primary feature used to identify periodontal disease 

Changes in the alveolar crest

200

Early stages of periodontal disease typically manifest at the alveolar crest as

Fuzziness and loss of sharpness of the lamina dura

200

Horizontal bone loss is identified when bone loss occurs

Parallel to adjacent CEJs

200

TRUE OR FALSE:

Dental images provide information about supporting bone that cannot be obtained clinically

TRUE

300

The alveolar crest is normally located

1.5 to 2 mm apical to the CEJ

300

Bone loss extending to the mid third of a tooth with furcation involvement is what stage of periodontitis 

Stage III

300

A radiographic finding is MOST suggestive of furcation involvement

Radiolucency in the furcation area

300

Distributed evenly throughout dental arches with less than 30% of the sites involved

Generalized bone loss

400

The alveolar crest in the anterior region is best described as

Pointed, sharp, very radiopaque

400

ADA Case Type associated with no radiographic bone loss

Type I

400

Pointed, radiopaque projections or spikes on proximal surfaces

 

Dental calculus

400

A Flat, smooth, and parallel line joining adjacent CEJs

A healthy posterior alveolar crest
