What is the purpose of the instrument shown in the image?

This patient has localized deep periodontal pockets around a molar, and the gingiva appears erythematous and swollen. What is the likely diagnosis?

The procedure shown in the image is commonly used to treat:

This image shows localized redness, swelling, and a spontaneous gingival abscess. What is the likely cause?

This patient presents with vertical bone loss and deep periodontal pockets on both sides of a tooth. What term describes this type of bone loss?

What is the most likely diagnosis for this inflamed, swollen gingiva with purulent discharge?

This patient exhibits sudden onset severe pain, fever, and a swelling filled with pus in the gingival tissue. What is the likely diagnosis?

This dental probe encounters resistance, preventing it from reaching the base of the gingival sulcus. What does this suggest?

In the image, there is widespread gingival inflammation with interdental papillae necrosis. What condition does this represent?

Image of a dental radiograph showing a horizontal bone loss pattern around a tooth. What type of periodontal pocket is commonly associated with this pattern?

Observe the gingival involvement in this image. What systemic condition is most likely associated with this finding?

A patient presents with swollen, red, and bleeding gums. Dental examination reveals deep periodontal pockets. What is the likely diagnosis?

Image of a dental radiograph shows a notch-like defect in the interdental alveolar bone. What is the likely cause of this pattern?

What is the most concerning feature depicted in this image for a patient with acute gingival infection?

An image shows diffuse swelling of the sublingual and submandibular spaces. What is the most probable diagnosis?

The above image displays localized bone loss around the furcation area of a multi-rooted tooth. What is the likely term for this condition?

Identify the characteristic feature in this image suggesting a specific acute gingival condition in children.

The image shows a radiograph revealing a radiolucency at the apex of a tooth root. What is the likely diagnosis?

A patient exhibiting generalized vertical bone loss with a “floating tooth” appearance. What term describes this advanced condition?

This image shows gingival involvement in a patient with a specific blood dyscrasia. What is the most likely diagnosis?

The above patient presents with painful, swollen, and bleeding gums associated with erupting wisdom teeth. What condition is most likely responsible?

In this image, there is radiographic evidence of a widened periodontal ligament space. What is the likely cause of this finding?

What is the primary function of the gingiva?

This image displays localized, fluctuant swelling at the gingival margin with pus drainage. What is the likely diagnosis?

A patient exhibits a characteristic “V”-shaped notch at the cervical area of teeth. What is the likely etiology of this pattern?

What is the role of the periodontal ligament?

This patient presents with multiple painful ulcers and a grayish pseudomembrane on the gingiva. What is the likely diagnosis?

The image shows a surgical procedure where a portion of the gingiva and underlying tissues is elevated to access the underlying bone. What type of surgery is being performed?

Which part of the tooth-supporting structures houses the tooth sockets?

This image shows a dental probe inserted into a gingival sulcus, measuring a depth greater than 3mm. What is the likely diagnosis?

In the above image, a dentist is creating an incision that follows the contour of the gingival margin. What type of incision is being made?

What is the function of cementum in tooth anatomy?

In the image, the probe reveals bleeding upon gentle probing with no visible attachment loss. What condition does this likely represent?

A patient undergoing surgery to enhance the width and thickness of the attached gingiva. What is the term for this mucogingival surgical procedure?

The condition depicted in the image is:

A dental radiograph showing bone loss around a tooth with a deep periodontal pocket. What is the most probable diagnosis?

A dentist performs a procedure to remove excess gum tissue to expose more of the tooth crown. What is this procedure called?

What is the primary cause of gingivitis?

The above image displays a dental probe extending beyond the apical extent of the gingival sulcus. What term is appropriate for this condition?

In the image, a dentist performs a procedure to release a tight labial frenulum. What is the term for this surgical procedure?

The condition shown in the image is indicative of:

Identify the characteristic clinical feature in this image suggestive of a specific acute gingival infection.

Identify the surgical procedure depicted in this image, where a full-thickness gingival flap is reflected to expose the underlying bone.
