Periodontal pack is left in place for how long?

1 day
3 days
5 days
1 week

The correct answer is: 1 week

A periodontal pack is a material used by dentists to cover and protect wounds and sutures in the mouth following certain dental procedures. It is typically left in place for a week to allow for proper healing and to prevent infection. Options A, B, and C are too short of a time frame and could potentially cause issues with healing and protection. Therefore, option D of 1 week is the most appropriate amount of time for a periodontal pack to be left in place.
