Gingivectomy

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



 1.      Gingivectomy was pioneered by

a.       Newmann

b.      Widman

c.       Robiscek

d.      Pickerill

 

 


Hint✅🔑 

Ans: C

·         Gingivectomy was pioneered by Robiscek in 1884

·         The term “Gingivectomy” was coined by Pickerill.

 

2.      Healing of gingivectomy by LASER

a.       Occurs by primary intention

b.      Faster than the surgical gingivectomy

c.       Bleeding is more in LASER surgery

d.      Delayed healing

 

 

Hint✅🔑 

Ans: D

·         Healing of the wound occurs by secondary intention and is delayed than surgical gingivectomy.

·         The lasers most often used in gingivectomy are the carbon dioxide (CO2) and the neodymium:yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG)

·          

 

3.      Indications of gingivectomy are all except

a.       Elimination of suprabony pockets, regardless of their depth, if the pocket wall is fibrous and firm

b.      Elimination of gingival enlargement

c.       Elimination of suprabony periodontal ligament abscess

d.      Bottom of the pocket is apical to the mucogingival junction

 

 

Hint✅🔑 

Ans: D

In patients with physiologic gingival melanosis, the pigmentation is diminished in the healed gingiva.

 

 

4.      Craterlike interdental papillae caused by acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis are treated by

a.       Gingivectomy

b.      Gingivoplasty

c.       Curettage

d.      ENAP

 

 

Hint✅🔑 

Ans: B

 

 

5.      Complete epithelial repair after gingivectomy takes about

a.       1-6 days

b.      14 days

c.       21 days

d.       30 days

 

 

Hint✅🔑 

Ans: D

Complete repair of the connective tissue takes about 7 weeks

 

 

 

6.      Maximum inflammation after gingivectomy is seen

a.       Immediately after surgery

b.      1 day after the surgery

c.       3 days after the surgery

d.      7 days after the surgery

 

 

Hint✅🔑 

Ans: D

·         The flow of gingival fluid in humans is initially increased after gingivectomy and diminishes as healing progresses

·         Maximal flow is reached after 1 week, coinciding with the time of maximal inflammation.
