1. TRAUMA FROM OCCLUSION AND FREMITUS TEST
Define trauma from occlusion. Classify it and discuss its etiology, clinical features, and management. Points to cover: Definition (trauma to periodontium due to occlusal forces) Classification: Primary vs. Secondary Acute vs. Chronic Etiological factors (e.g., bruxism, high restorations, drifting teeth) Clinical signs and symptoms (mobility, wear facets, fremitus, widened PDL, etc.) Management strategies (occlusal adjustment, splinting, habit control) 2. Describe the pathogenesis of trauma from occlusion. How does it affect periodontal structures? Points to cover: Physiological response of periodontium to occlusal forces Changes in periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and cementum Cellular and molecular events (inflammatory response, bone resorption) Histological features (widened PDL, hyalinization, etc.) Relationship with existing periodontal disease 3. What is the Fremitus Test? Explain its procedure, clinical significance, and interpretation. Points to cover: Definition of fremitus and test purpose Steps of performing the test (palpation of facial surfaces during mandibular movements) Grading of fremitus (Grade I to III) Significance in diagnosing occlusal trauma Integration with other diagnostic tools (e.g., occlusal analysis, mobility tests)
