Test Answers
All of the test statements are
false. These myths and misconceptions stem from old studies dating back to the 60's and 70's. Modern periodontal research has re-examined these old maxims with new protocols and improved scientific techniques. The results have shattered many of the old assumptions, vastly improving our knowledge and understanding of the causes of periodontal diseases and led to the development of new anti-infective therapeutic protocols. It you circled any of the test statements as
true, you probably need this course.
