1. * Normal gingiva, which is histologically free from significant accumulation of

inflammatory cells, may be present:

A. Pristine gingiva.

B. Clinically healthy gingiva.

C. Stage I gingival inflammation: The initial lesion.

D. Stage II gingival inflammation: The early lesion.

2. * It looks clinically similar to pristine gingiva but histologically features an

inflammatory infiltrate with predominantly neutrophils associated with junctional

epithelium and lymphocytes in the subjacent connective tissue. It is:

A. Stage I gingival inflammation: The initial lesion.

B. Clinically healthy gingiva.

C. Acute Gingivitis.

D. Chronic gingivitis

3. ** The first manifestations of gingival inflammation are

vascular changes consisting

of dilated capillaries and increased blood flow. These initial inflammatory changes

occur in response to the microbial activation of resident leukocytes and subsequent

stimulation of endothelial cells. Clinically, this initial response of the gingiva to bacterial plaque, i.e. subclinical gingivitis, is not apparent. It is:

A. Stage I gingival inflammation: The initial lesion.

B. Stage III gingival inflammation: The established lesion.

C. Acute Gingivitis.

D. Chronic gingivitis
