| c. | Maxillary anterior teeth: all surfaces and roots; maxillary posterior teeth: buccal surfaces and roots |
| d. | Maxillary molars: buccal surfaces and buccal roots; mandibular first and second molars: buccal surfaces and buccal roots |
ANS: B
| Feedback | |
| A | The maxillary molars, buccal surface and buccal roots, are involved when an abscess or fistula perforates into the maxillary sinuses. |
| B | The maxillary lateral incisors: lingual surfaces and roots; maxillary premolars: lingual surfaces and roots; and maxillary molars: lingual surfaces and roots are involved when an abscess or fistula is clinically present on the palate. |
| C | The maxillary anterior teeth (all surfaces and roots) and maxillary posterior teeth (buccal surfaces and roots) are involved when an abscess or fistula is clinically present in the maxillary vestibule. |
| D | The maxillary molars (buccal surfaces and buccal roots) and mandibular first and second molars (buccal surfaces and buccal roots) are involved when an abscess or fistula is clinically present on the buccal skin surface. |

- Which of the following disease states can DIRECTLY cause a periapical abscess?
| a. | Periodontal disease |
| b. | Chronic gingivitis |
| c. | Progressive caries |
| d. | Dentigerous cyst formation |
ANS: C
| Feedback | |
| A | Acute periodontal disease can cause a periodontal abscess to occur along with apical migration of the gingival tissue and alveolar bone. |
| B | Chronic gingivitis can cause the marginal and interdental gingival tissue to become enlarged and inflamed. |
| C | A periapical abscess can result from progressive caries. This occurs from an infection of the pulp causing the pulp to become necrotic due to invasion of microorganisms into the sterile pulp from the progressive caries. The infection will usually spread apically. |
| D | A dentigerous cyst is a developmental odontogenic cyst that forms around the crown of a developing impacted tooth. |

- Early detection of an abscess is imperative in order to avoid destruction of dental tissue. Early detection of an abscess is BEST accomplished with the use of dental radiographs.
| a. | Both statements are true. |
| b. | Both statements are false. |
| c. | The first statement is true; the second is false. |
| d. | The first statement is false; the second is true. |
ANS: C
| Feedback | |
| A | The second statement is false. Abscess formation may NOT be detectable on radiographs during the early stages. This is because the infection process may NOT have destroyed alveolar bone, thereby decreasing the density of the bone that can be seen radiographically as a radiolucent image. |
| B | The first statement is true. Early detection of abscess is imperative in order to avoid destruction of dental tissue. |
| C | The first statement is true. Early detection of abscess is imperative in order to avoid destruction of dental tissue. The second statement is false.

- Which of the following signs OR symptoms CANNOT be used to describe cellulitis of the face and neck?
| a. | Pain |
| b. | Tenderness |
| c. | Redness |
| d. | Systemic infection |
ANS: D
| Feedback | |
| A | Pain is often associated with infection and inflammation such as that which occurs with cellulitis, a diffuse inflammation of soft tissue spaces. |
| B | Tenderness is often associated with infection due to the swelling and pressure placed on surrounding nerves such as that which occurs with cellulitis, a diffuse inflammation of soft tissue spaces. |
| C | Redness or inflammation is often associated with infection such as that which occurs with cellulitis, a diffuse inflammation of soft tissue spaces. |
| D | Even though infection is associated with cellulitis, a diffuse inflammation of soft tissue spaces, the infection usually remains localized and is NOT systemic. |
