Q

What level of care is this an example of?

Health promotion

A

Primary

What is: Patient involvement in the control of plaque (a naturally acquired biofilm that develops on teeth)

Self-care

What is: the removal of soft and hard deposits from the teeth using manual or ultrasonic dental instruments

Periodontal debridement

Definition: Replacement of lost minerals in teeth

Remineralization

Definition: Limitation of amount of sugar in the diet to prevent a nutrient source for oral bacteria

Sugar discipline

What is the initial stage of tooth decay

Incipient lesions

What is: Infection and subsequent inflammation of the gingiva

Gingivitis

What are the 3 categories of oral diseases?

1. Dental caries & periodontal disease (both acquired conditions) 2. Other acquired oral conditions (oral cancer, HIV/AIDS, opportunistic infections 3. Craniofacial disorders (range from heredity to accidents)

What are infections caused by a usually harmless microorganism that can become capable of causing disease when the host's resistance is impaired called?

Opportunistic infections

What are disorders that involve both the cranium and the face called?

Craniofacial disorders

The presence of pathogenic dental plaque in tooth surfaces cause both caries and periodontal diseases and are know as what?

Plaque diseases

The number of new cases that occurs between 2 epidemiology surveys conducted over an agreed upon time period

Incidence

What is: Measurement of the number of existing cases at the time of a survey

Prevalence

This occurs when undermined tooth enamel has demineralized into a carious lesion

Overt cavitation

What is involvement that doesn't extend beyond the site of origin called?

In situ

What is: Loss of minerals

Demineralization

What is: Shallow space beaten the gingiva and the root of the tooth

Gingival sulcus

What is: Decay that hasn't penetrated tooth enamel

Noninvasive caries

What is the progression resulting in an overt plaque disease lesion?

In situ manifestation ➡️ Incipient lesion ➡️ Overt

What is the procedure if determining the likelihood that an individual or population will experience specific diseases or conditions called?

Risk assessment

What facilitates effective patient-centered interactions, more involvement of patients in their own preventative healthcare, and improved health outcomes for all cultural groups?

Cultural competence

What is defined as 'integrated patterns of human behavior that include the language, thoughts, communication, actions, customs, beliefs, values, and institutions of racial, ethnic, religious or social groups'?

Culture

What is a patient's understanding of the cause of illness, the expected tx, the role of the sick individual, and how the illness affects his/her life called?

Patient's explanatory model

In what context is the LEARN model used?

Culturally competent care: a suggested process for improving communication that has been shown to heighten awareness of cultural issues and achieve client acceptance of treatment plans.
