Baba Farid University of Health Sciences- B.D.S. (Final Prof.) Peridontology Papers deal with both objective and long answer type questions and are aimed at testing a student’s grasp of the subject. Topics covered include Desquamative Gingivitis, its clinical features and histopathology, the distribution and role of gingival and peridonta ligament fibres, scaling, root planning and gingival curatage, the importance and method of periodontal therapy, the role of saliva and its components in periodontal diseases, the classification of furcation involvement and mode of treatment. Questions which are of the short note type can be expected from relatively short chunks of the course syllabus like periodontal dressing, bundle bone and gingival fluid. Care should be taken to be prepared for diagrams as well, ensuring that high marks can be scored for accurately drawn and labelled diagrams. The topics must be understood and practised well.
