Justify nonsurgical versus surgical periodontal therapy for each stage and assign a recall interval with reasons.

Distinguish endodontic from periodontal lesions in three ambiguous cases by pulp testing, probing depth pattern, and radiographic findings.

Explain how smoking, poorly controlled diabetes, and pregnancy change periodontal diagnosis, treatment sequencing, and prognosis.

Diagnose peri-implant mucositis versus peri-implantitis and outline a stepwise management plan for each.

Compare complete-coverage, veneer, and inlay/onlay preparations for a molar and a premolar, stating finish-line design, reduction, and indication.
