Causes of Alveolar Bone Loss Quiz

What is the main cause of bone destruction in periodontal disease?

Which condition always precedes periodontitis?

What causes tissue injury known as 'trauma from occlusion'?

Which factor is NOT a cause of alveolar bone loss according to the text?

What precedes the transition from gingivitis to periodontitis?

What is the term for the physiological accommodation of forces exerted on the crown by the periodontium?

Which condition results in tissue injury known as 'trauma from occlusion'?

Which factor can lead to overextension of inflammation into the supporting periodontal tissue?

Which factor is associated with changes in the composition of bacterial plaque?

What is the term for the physiological adaptation of the periodontium to occlusal forces?

What is the term for tissue injury resulting from occlusal forces exceeding the adaptive capacity of the tissues?

What clinical features are associated with Chronic Trauma?

Which type of bone destruction can trauma from occlusion produce?

What is the goal of periodontal therapy in the treatment of occlusal traumatism?

What are the clinical features associated with Combined TFO?

From what does Chronic Trauma most often develop?

What is the term for the injury that occurs to the periodontium resulting from abnormal occlusal forces with abnormal periodontal support?

What are the radiographic findings of Trauma from Occlusion?

Trauma from occlusion is the tissue injury, not the occlusal force.

Change in the direction of the occlusal forces does not lead to a change in the orientation of periodontal ligament fibers.

Chronic Trauma is more common than acute form.

Primary trauma from occlusion occurs when trauma from occlusion is the secondary cause of periodontal destruction.

Combined TFO only results in thermal sensitivity.

Bone destruction caused by trauma from occlusion can only occur in the presence of inflammation.

Orthodontic tooth movement is not part of the treatment for occlusal traumatism.

The text supports the statement: 'Trauma leaves fingerprints on the victim. These don’t fade when the bruises do.'

The changes caused by trauma from occlusion are not reversible.

The main goal of periodontal therapy in the treatment of occlusal traumatism is to maintain the periodontium in comfort and function.

Trauma from occlusion can lead to alveolar bone loss.

Overhanging restoration is not a cause of alveolar bone loss according to the text.

Gingivitis always progresses to periodontitis.

Trauma from occlusion is associated with changes in the composition of bacterial plaque.

Orthodontic treatment is a systemic factor that can lead to alveolar bone loss.

The transition from gingivitis to periodontitis is not preceded by any changes in the composition of bacterial plaque.

Trauma from occlusion results from abnormal occlusal forces exceeding the adaptive capacity of the periodontal tissues.

Food impaction can lead to overextension of inflammation into the supporting periodontal tissue.

Ill-fitting prosthesis is not a cause of alveolar bone loss.

Periodontitis always precedes trauma from occlusion.
