Which of the following conditions is classified separately from periodontitis under the 2017 classification because its etiology is not primarily plaque-related?
Answer: Leukemia-associated periodontitis
Leukemia-associated gingival and periodontal changes are classified under 'periodontal manifestations of systemic disease' because the hematologic disease is the primary driver.
What does the 'G' in the staging and grading of periodontitis primarily communicate to the clinician?
Answer: Rate and risk of future disease progression
The grade communicates the rate of periodontitis progression and identifies risk factors that may influence future disease course and systemic health interactions.
Which of the following is classified as a periodontal condition rather than a peri-implant condition under the 2017 framework?
Answer: Endodontic-periodontic lesion
Endodontic-periodontic lesions affect teeth and their supporting structures and are classified within periodontal conditions, not peri-implant conditions.
According to the 2017 classification, what is a key feature that distinguishes peri-implantitis from peri-implant mucositis?
Answer: Loss of supporting bone beyond initial remodeling
Peri-implantitis is distinguished by loss of supporting crestal bone beyond the expected initial remodeling, whereas peri-implant mucositis involves only soft tissue inflammation.
A patient treated for Stage III periodontitis now shows no BOP, stable bone levels, and maintained attachment. How should this patient's periodontal status be classified at the recall visit?
Answer: Periodontal health on a reduced periodontium — successfully treated periodontitis patient
A successfully treated periodontitis patient with stable findings is classified as periodontal health on a reduced periodontium, with notation as a treated periodontitis patient.
Which of the following correctly describes 'generalized' extent in the 2017 periodontitis classification?
Answer: Interdental CAL detected at ≥30% of teeth
Generalized periodontitis is defined as interdental CAL detected in ≥30% of teeth, distinguishing it from the localized form.
Which of the following is a recognized subcategory under 'non-plaque-induced gingival conditions' in the 2017 classification?
Answer: Gingival manifestations of mucocutaneous diseases
Gingival manifestations of mucocutaneous diseases such as lichen planus and pemphigoid are classified as non-plaque-induced gingival conditions.
