Prostaglandin has the potential to induce which of the following:

The color of the gingiva is dependent upon vascularity plus 

Which of the following layers of subgingival plaque activates the host response resulting in the most destructive processes seen in periodontal disease?

A series of proteins circulating in the blood that work to facilitate phagocytosis or kill bacteria directly by puncturing bacterial cell membranes is known as:    

Do not use oxygen but can tolerate oxidizing environment; can also grow in both types of environment

In the vascular reaction to inflammation, vasodilation is followed by margination of leukocytes. Later in the process, after an increase in vascular permeability, neutrophils pass through the vessel wall (migration) into the area of inflammation.

Mature dental plaque can be described as:

A variety of species and quantities of bacteria can be detected in the gingival crevice and are easily associated with varying degrees of disease activity. Therefore, the presence of a highly motile bacterial population and an increase in white blood cells suggests potential for disease.

The acquired pellicle in dental plaque is composed of:

Localized and generalized are terms used to describe extent of inflammation. Terms used to describe distribution of inflammation include papillary, marginal, and diffuse.
