Thermal changes do not seem to affect what condition:

Gingivitis
Plaque buildup
Periodontal abscess
Caries lesion

Explanation

Answer: C - Thermal changes do not seem to affect periodontal abscesses. Those suffering from a periodontal abscess complain of rapid and progressive pain that is acute, constant, and throbbing. Periodontal disease can exacerbate the pain and condition of abscess when the infection crosses into and affects tissue. Abscesses are treated by curettage of the sulcus, drainage, and flap surgery.
