The scope of practice of a dental hygienist was first established by law in

Connecticut in 1915. Alfred C. Fones taught his dental assistant, Irene
d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


Newman, to treat patients and to teach them to maintain their mouths in a
dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


clean state. In 1913, Fones established the first school for dental hygienists
dr dr dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


in Bridgeport,
dr dr Connecticut. The first oath written for dental hygienists called
dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


upon Apollo and Hygeia, who were the Greek god and goddess of health,
dr dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


respectively. A modernized version of the first oath was adopted by the

Board of Trustees of the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) in

1979.

2. Which member of the dental team is the primary oral preventive therapist?
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


a. Dentist
b. Dental hygienist dr


c. Dental assistant dr


d. Receptionist


ANS: B dr


The dental hygienist is the oral preventive therapist in the dental office. The
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


d rdentists who pioneered this special field of endeavor had a vision of the day
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


when dental disease could be prevented by following a system of treatment
dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


and cleanliness. The dentist is primarily concerned with restorative
dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


treatment, although he or she also shares in preventing oral disease. The
dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


dental assistant assists the dentist and may assist the dental hygienist as
dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


well. The receptionist greets patients and may help with the business and
dr dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


financial aspects of the practice.

dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


granted the health care professional a certain status that carries prestige,
d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


power, and the right to apply special knowledge and skills.

5. Society recognizes that health care providers are held to a higher
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


standard than legislative mandate. These higher standards are

dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


legal system.

c. The first statement is true, the second statement is false.

dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr




ANS: C dr


Health care providers are held to a higher standard than can be expressed
dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


exclusively by legislative mandate. While it is true that these higher
d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


standards are expressed in professional codes of ethics, they are enforced
dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


by those within the profession rather than by the legal system. Important
dr dr dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr dr dr


components of this enforcement include self-regulation and submission to
dr dr dr d r dr dr dr dr dr


peer review.
