a.
b.
c.
d.
Reshaping of bone is referred to as ostectomy or osteoplasty Implantation of bone is referred to as ostectomy or osteoplasty Implantation procedures are utilized with increasing greater frequency since the surgical results are reasonably predictable Reshaping of bone should not be performed when supporting bone will have to be removed to eliminate the defect
Osteoplasty bone reshaping and resection techniques; bone reshaping without removing tooth-supporting bone
Ostectomy/Odontoplasty bone reshaping involving some portions of tooth-supporting bone (bone directly involved in the
attachment of the tooth)

a.
b.
c.
d.
It is not proper for individuals without periodontal disease to use dental floss The most efficient method of interproximal plaque removal is the use of dental floss Unwaxed dental floss has not been shown definitely superior to waxed floss The primary purpose of dental floss is the removal of plaque from the interproximal tooth surfaces
