Questions and Answers
In an intrabony pocket, how is the lateral pocket wall situated relative to the tooth surface and alveolar bone?
In an intrabony pocket, how is the lateral pocket wall situated relative to the tooth surface and alveolar bone?
- The alveolar bone is located between the lateral pocket wall and the tooth surface.
- The lateral pocket wall is superficial to both the tooth surface and the alveolar bone.
- The lateral pocket wall is located between the tooth surface and the alveolar bone. (correct)
- The tooth surface is located between the lateral pocket wall and the alveolar bone.
What is the primary differentiating factor between a gingival pocket and a periodontal pocket?
What is the primary differentiating factor between a gingival pocket and a periodontal pocket?
- The involvement of underlying periodontal tissue destruction in periodontal pockets. (correct)
- The presence of inflammation; periodontal pockets are non-inflammatory.
- The location of the pocket; gingival pockets are always suprabony.
- The depth of the sulcus; gingival pockets are shallower.
How does the location of the base of a suprabony pocket relate to the alveolar bone crest?
How does the location of the base of a suprabony pocket relate to the alveolar bone crest?
- The base of the pocket is coronal to the alveolar bone crest. (correct)
- The base of the pocket is apical to the alveolar bone crest.
- The base of the pocket is unrelated to the position of the alveolar bone crest.
- The base of the pocket is at the same level as the alveolar bone crest.
