Final :D !!! Flashcards
Some reasons for using lubricant (either water or oil on the stone) is to facilitate movement during sharpening and prevent clogging the pores of the stone. T or F
True
The last downward stroke of sharpening should go completely off the stone and have created lateral pressure than any of the upward stokes to reduce the formation of wire edges. T or F
False
During sharpening the stone should be moved vertically 1-2 inches
False
The internal angles of the cutting edges of sickle scalers and cutest are the same. T or F
True
If you use a dull instrument you may burnish instead of remove the calculus. T or F
True
The American academy of periodontology definition of scaling is: the instrumentation of the teeth to remove calculus
False
When using the plastic testing stick to wbu late instrument sharpness place the instrument blade abasing the stick at the same angle used for scaling and scrape the plastic in a scaling stroke removing several thin strands of plastic. T or F
False
Sharpening area specific gracey curets require sharpening only the lower one third of the curing edge because these curets are used on such specific surfaces T or F
False
Hypo mineralized enamel absorbs fluoride in greater quantities than sound enamel. T or F
True
It is important to professionally apply fluoride on patients who have decreased salvia flow because they need the increased mohair use in their mouths. T or F
False
More surface enamel is lost from abrasive polishing over demineralization white spots than over intact enamel T or F
True
The majority of stain that was not removed during patient education can be removed with scaling and not require rotary polishing. T or F
True
To help ensure the correct position of the gracey curet blade the operator observes the position of the terminal shank whereas it is the handle of the universal curet which help position it’s blade T or F
True
Sodium fluoride gel is applied professionally in a 5% form for maximum uptake
False
Padding the rubber cup using slow speed and moist polishing agent help to control the amount of heat produced during rotary polishing
True
Patients are told not to swallow during a professionally applied fluoride because a tray or paint on technique contains enough fluoride to cause a certainly lethal dose of fluoride
False
Acidulated phosphate fluoride has a low ph so it should not be used on teeth with proclein or composite restorations
True
When placing the fluoride in a tray the fluoride should reach the rim of the tray completely filling the tray to ensure coverage of all surfaces
False
Digital video imaging done with intraoral wand is not as valuable during patient education as using a typhodont to identify locations needing better biofilm removal
False
To determine the sequence of a treatment plan you have to consider if there are any urgent problems what the etiological factors are, the severity of the condition and the patient as an individual
True
When you ask for feedback in the ccp clinic the instructors will perform the necessary immediate evaluation of your treatment of a patent by exploring all surfaces to see if all the deposits have been removed
False
A patient with excellent periodontal treatment results has been well maintained the first year after treatment has no complicating favored and good oral hygiene may require only one maintenance recall appointment per year
True
Immediate evaluation does not include an assessment of the gingival respond to deposit removal because the tissues haven’t had time to respond so you must wait for the follow up evaluation
True
According to Wilkins the purpose of a maintenance program is the removal of any deposits missed during initial therapy
False
Patients with extensive restorative treatment like crowns, bridges and implants require less frequent recall maintenance appointments because restore surface accumulate less calculus
False
After reviewing the patients medical/dental histories/ medications and obtaining the vitals signs you will sign to for the dentist to review your findings, do a cursory exams and prescribe radiographs
True
Follow up evaluation includes assessing if the hygienists biofilm removal education/ instructions were effective
True
Exploratory or assessment stokes should be done intermittently between each scaling and root planning stroke
True
Fluoride varnish contains 46% NaF
False
A patient presenting with no deposits, including no biofilm and yet there are signs of gingival inflammation may not be removing the biofilm completely on a regular basis
True
During follow up evaluation it is important to evaluate how the patient performs plaque removal and how effective it is
True
Digital video imaging done with intraoral wand is not as valuable during patient education as using typhodont to identify locations needing better biofilm removal
False
