Social and economic status

Question 12

Have implications on the necessary
compliance and behavioral changes that can
decrease risk for caries in patients.

Answer 12

Social and economic status

Question 13

Predictive at the population level but are

generally inaccurate at the individual level

Answer 13

socioeconomic status and educational status implications

Question 14

Sugar intake in the form of fermentable carbohydrates and increased frequency

Answer 14

Increase risk for caries

Question 15

Use of these during the day or night increases the risk of caries

Answer 15

Candies and Lozenges

Question 16

Contribute to increasing risk by providing energy to the acidogenic and aciduric
bacteria and by influencing the pH of the biofilm to
support cariogenic bacteria.

Answer 16

Acidic beverages

Question 17

Modifies biofilm to support a lower pH environment

Answer 17

Frequency of snacking and drinking acidic drinks

Question 18

Inhibition of bacteria, diluting and eliminating bacteria and their substrates, buffering bacterial acids, and offering a reparative environment with necessary calcium and phosphate minerals after
bacteria-induced demineralization

Answer 18

Saliva

Question 19

Patients are more susceptible to dietary change that are associated with lower pH foods and beverages or foods and beverages containing fermentable carbohydrates

Answer 19

Xerostomia (dry mouth)

Question 20

Determines risk indicators more than risk factors

Answer 20

Dental Clinical Analysis (Dental exams)

Question 25

Designed to limit tooth demineralization caused by cariogenic bacteria, preventing cavitated lesions.

Answer 25

Preventive treatment methods

Question 26

1- Limiting pathogen growth and altering metabolism
2- Increasing resistance of the tooth surface to demineralization
3- Increasing biofilm pH

Answer 26

cariogenic bacteria and to create an environment conducive to
remineralization

Answer 27

(streptococci)

Answer 31

Actinobolin

Question 32

Bis Biguanides

(broad)

Answer 32

Alexidine & Chlorhexidine

Question 33

Halogens
+:Bacterialcidal
-: Metallic taste

Answer 33

Iodine

Question 34

Halogens
+: 1-10 arts per million (ppm) reduces acid production
250 ppm bacteriorstatic
1000 ppm bactericidal
-: Increases enamel resistance to caries attack: fluorosis in developing chronic high doses

Answer 34

Fluoride

Question 35

An operative
procedure in which multiple teeth with acute
threatening caries are treated quickly by (1)
removing the infected tooth structure, (2)
medicating the pulp, if necessary, and (3) restoring
the defect(s) with a temporary material.

Answer 35

Caries-Control restoration

Question 36

Teeth that have large caries lesions but no overt pulpal or periapical pathology should be…

Answer 36

Managed conservatively

Question 37

How should large carious lesions with healthy pulpal and periapical tissues be managed?

Answer 37

Via partial caries excavation and indirect pulp capping
