Vitamin C Deficiency
- Deficiency in Vitamin C in smokers can lead to periodontal disease due to the weakening of gum tissue.
Cleft Lip

Cementum and Sharpey's Fibers
- Cementum contains collagen fibers; Sharpey's fibers are the ends of principal fibers that integrate into cementum and alveolar bone.
Anatomical Planes
- The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right halves.
Smallest Permanent Tooth
- Mandibular central incisors are recognized as the smallest permanent teeth.
Cancellous Bone

Dental Fluorosis
- Can cause white or brown staining in dental enamel when exposure occurs during childhood.
Type II Restorative Overhang
- Comprises 1/3 to 1/2 of the interproximal embrasure space.
Caries Risk Factors
- Fewer than 15 teeth is not a recognized risk factor for caries, while less than 9 present teeth indicates high risk.
Chronic Gingival Inflammation
- Signs include tough, fibrous gingiva and blunted interdental papilla.
PSR (Periodontal Screening and Reporting)
- A PSR score of 2 indicates calculus presence and bleeding with probing limited to the first clear band.
Tooth Mobility Classification
- Class III mobility indicates that a tooth is depressible, reflecting severe mobility.
Plaque Scores
- A plaque score of 3 signifies gross soft debris within gingival pockets.
Furcation Involvement
- Indicates through and through bone loss between roots covered by gingiva.
Radiography Safety
- Dental professionals should stand at least six feet away from the primary x-ray beam at a 90-135 degree angle for safety.
Radiation Exposure Limits
- Maximum permissible annual radiation dose for dental professionals is 5.0 rem (0.05 Sv); for the general population, it is 0.5 rem.
Lethal Radiation Dose
- LD 50/30 refers to the dose that can cause death in 50% of the population within 30 days.
X-ray Tubehead Collimation
- The position indication device (PID) performs collimation to restrict x-ray beam size.
PID and Tubehead Regulations
- Incorrect claim: PID lengths must be no less than 6 inches; actual minimum is 8 inches.
Radiographic Contrast
- Increasing kVp can result in better contrast of grey shades in the final radiograph.
Muscle Fiber Components
- Largest to smallest components: Muscle → Muscle fascicle → Myofiber → Myofibril → Myofilaments.
Trigeminal Ganglion Divisions
- The trigeminal ganglion (V) has three divisions: Ophthalmic, Mandibular, and Maxillary.
