Trauma from Occlusion TFO

 All the questions have been directly picked from Carranza 11th edition

 


1.      The effect of occlusal forces on the periodontium is influenced by the

a.       Magnitude and Direction

b.      Duration

c.       frequency of the forces

d.      all of the above

ans: D

 

2.      The most dangerous type of force to the periodontium is

a.       Vertical force

b.      Occlusal force

c.       Jiggling force

d.      Horizontal force

Ans: C

Hint: Lateral (horizontal) and torque (rotational) forces are more likely to injure the periodontium. But the most dangerous is the Jiggling force.

 

3.      When occlusal forces is very high but is within the range of adaptive capacity of the periodontal tissues,

a.       Trauma from occlusion results

b.      Occlusal trauma results

c.       Widening of periodontal ligament occurs

d.      Periodontal necrosis occurs

Ans: C

Hint:

·         When occlusal forces exceed the adaptive capacity of the tissues, tissue injury results.

·         The resultant injury is termed trauma from occlusion, also known as traumatism or occlusal trauma.

 

4.      When trauma from occlusion is the result of reduced ability of the tissues to resist the occlusal forces, it is known as

a.       Acute trauma from occlusion  

b.      Chronic trauma from occlusion

c.       Primary trauma from occlusion

d.      Secondary trauma from occlusion

Ans: D

Hint:

·         When trauma from occlusion is the result of alterations in occlusal forces, it is called primary trauma from occlusion.

·         When it results from reduced ability of the tissues to resist the occlusal forces, it is known as secondary trauma from occlusion.

 

5.      TFO associated with parafunctional habits are most likely to be

a.       Acute trauma from occlusion  

b.      Chronic trauma from occlusion

c.       Primary trauma from occlusion

d.      Secondary trauma from occlusion

Ans: B

Hint:

It most often develops from gradual changes in occlusion produced by tooth wear, drifting movement, and extrusion of teeth, combined with parafunctional habits, such as bruxism and clenching, rather than as a sequela of acute periodontal trauma.

 

6.      Lipping is seen in which stage of TFO?

a.       Stage of injury

b.      Stage of repair

c.       Stage of adaptive remodeling

d.      All stages show lipping

Ans: B

Hint:

·         When bone is resorbed by excessive occlusal forces, the body attempts to reinforce the thinned bony trabeculae with new bone. This attempt to compensate for lost bone is called buttressing bone formation.

·         It may be central or peripheral buttressing bone formation

·         In central buttressing the endosteal cells deposit new bone, which restores the bony trabeculae and reduces the size of the marrow spaces.

·         Peripheral buttressing occurs on the facial and lingual surfaces of the alveolar plate.

·         Depending on its severity, peripheral buttressing may produce a shelflike thickening of the alveolar margin, referred to as lipping

 

7.      Not a feature of TFO

a.       Angular bone loss

b.      Funnel shaped widening of the ligament

c.       Absence of tooth mobility

d.      Absence of pocket formation

Ans: C

Hint: Adaptive remodelling

·         If the repair process cannot keep pace with the destruction caused by the occlusion, the periodontium is remodeled in an effort to create a structural relationship in which the forces are no longer injurious to the tissues.

·         This results in a widened periodontal ligament, which is funnel shaped at the crest, and angular defects in the bone, with no pocket formation.

·         The involved teeth become loose

·         Increased vascularization has also been reported.

 

8.      Repair phase of trauma from occlusion shows

a.       increase in areas of resorption and a decrease in bone formation

b.      decreased resorption and increased bone formation

c.       resorption and formation are balanced

d.      shows inconsistent pattern of resorption and formation.

Ans: B

Hint:

·         The injury phase shows an increase in areas of resorption and a decrease in bone formation, whereas the repair phase demonstrates decreased resorption and increased bone formation.

·         After adaptive remodeling of the periodontium, resorption and formation return to normal.

 

9.      Insufficient occlusal force may cause

a.       osteoporosis of the alveolar bone

b.      reduction in bone height

c.       thinning of the periodontal ligament with atrophy of the fibers

d.      all of the above

ans: D

Hint:

·         Insufficient stimulation causes thinning of the periodontal ligament, atrophy of the fibers, osteoporosis of the alveolar bone, and reduction in bone height.

·         Hypofunction can result from an open-bite relationship, an absence of functional antagonists, or unilateral chewing habits that neglect one side of the mouth.

 

10.  The most common clinical sign of trauma to the periodontium is

a.       Increased pocket depth

b.      Bleeding on probing

c.       Increased tooth mobility

d.      Edema of the gingiva

Ans: C

Hint:

·         In the injury stage of trauma from occlusion, destruction of periodontal fibers occurs, which increases tooth mobility.

·         In the final stage the accommodation of the periodontium to increased forces entails a widening of the periodontal ligament, which also leads to increased tooth mobility.

 

11.  All are signs of periodontal trauma except

a.      Pain

b.      Mobility

c.       Hypersensitivity

d.      Bleeding

Ans: d Bleeding

 

12.  Mobility of teeth due to occlusal trauma can be tested by

a.      Percussion of tooth

b.      Digital palpation

c.       Shimmock paper

d.      Bite marking paper

Ans: b Digital palpation

Hint: Done through Fremitus test

 

13.  The load on the tooth that is most destructive to the periodontium

a.      Vertical

b.      Oblique

c.       Horizontal                                                                                                    

d.      Apical

Ans: C Horizontal

Hint: Lateral or horizontal and rotational or torque forces injure the periodontium.

 

 

14.  Tissue changes occurring in teeth no longer in function

a.      Widening of PDL                                                                                  

b.      Increased trabeculation

c.       Cemental atrophy                                                                                 

d.      All

Ans: c Cemental atrophy

Hint: A and B indicate teeth in excessive function

 

 

15.  In ‘’Jiggling ‘’type of trauma , the occlusal force causes

a.      funnel shaped destruction of the socket wall

b.      distinct pressure and tension sides within the periodontal ligament

c.       No change in the socket wall

d.      Has no effect on periodontal ligament space

Ans: a funnel shaped destruction of the socket wall.

 

 

16.  Which of the following is early effect of primary trauma form occlusion

a.      Vertical pockets

b.      Generalised alveolar bone loss

c Undermining resorption

d. haemorrhage and thrombosis of blood vessels of PDL

Ans: d Haemorrhage and thrombosis of blood vessels of PDL

 

 

 

17.  Signs of TFO are all except

a.      Mobility of tooth

b.      loss of attachment and pocket formation

c.       Widening of PDL

d.      Migration of teeth

Ans; b Loss of attachment and pocket formation

 

 

18.  TFO doesn’t affect

a.      Alveolar bone and enamel    

b.      Cementum and enamel

c.       Gingiva and epithelial attachment

d.      PDL and cementum

Ans: c Gingiva and epithelial attachment
