DH224 M4 Quiz # 3 (Ch 12-13) Questions With Complete
Solutions
The water used by members of the reservation is naturally
fluoridated. The data being collected will be used to evaluate
whether the community water supply may be causing an
increased prevalence in dental fluorosis in the children. As part
of the screening process, Dean's Dental Fluorosis Index is used.
As a review of how the Community Fluorosis score is
determined, the dental hygiene students analyze the data for 5
children screened. The scores are: 1,2,2,4, and 4. What is the
mean Dental Fluorosis Index score for the children?
2.0
3.0
13
2.6
2.6
A dental hygienist is interested in making manufacturers aware
of reducing the risk of fluorosis. Which of the following
suggestions would be important to educate manufacturers about?
The need to clearly label products such as bottled water with the
fluoride levels.
,Reduce the level of fluoride levels in some products such as
infant baby food
Eliminate fluoride from all products

A dental hygienist moves into a temperate climate, in a
community in which the major city and some suburbs have
fluoridated water. The community is diverse with most of the
middle and upper class populations living in the suburbs. Using
the Dean's Classification for Dental Fluorosis, the mean score
for the school children is 1.0. The dental hygienist suspects that
the cause of the observed fluorosis in the schoolchildren is the
result of
Excessive fluoride in the water supply
Excessive use of topical fluoride treatments.
Excessive use of dietary fluoride supplements
Excessive swallowing of fluoridated toothpaste
Excessive swallowing of fluoridated toothpaste
The purpose of collecting the DMF data on a migrant population
BEST describes which of the following methods for obtaining
data to document oral health status and needs to plan a
,community program?
Collecting data available from state or local health agencies
Coordinating activities with a local agency or health institution.
Identifying and using an assessment method to obtain specific
information regarding oral health data.
None of the above

A dental hygienist is concerned about the amount of fluorosis
evident in the school age population within a fluoridated
community. Using Dean's Classification of Dental Fluorosis, the
dental hygienist collects data from school aged children located
in four different sections of the community. The mean score for
the school children is 1.0 demonstrating small, opaque, paper-
white areas scattered irregularly over the children's teeth but
involving less than 25% of the tooth surface. This reflects which
of the following levels of fluorosis?
Very mild fluorosis
Questionable fluorosis
Moderate fluorosis
Mild fluorosis
Very mild fluorosis
, After working two years in private practice, you are asked to
serve as a dental hygiene consultant at a community-based
center in your community. The center provides free medical care
to working people who do not have medical insurance. The
director is writing a grant proposal to seek funding to furnish a
dental care facility(clinic) and community education
meeting/resource room. The direct need documentation is on the
oral hygiene status of the adult population receiving care at the
clinic. The director seeks to collect data that can be understood
by both dental and non-dental professionals. What is the best
way to evaluate oral hygiene status in population groups?
PHP (Patient Hygiene Performance)
GI (Gingival Index)
PI (Periodontal Index)
CPI (Community Periodontal Index) p.50

As part of an alternative spring break project, five dental
hygiene students are funded by the Indian Health Service to
participate in a dental screening project on a Native American
reservation. The students join a staff of three dental hygienists
and two dentists. The students are expected to conduct smoking
cessation education for adult members of the reservation for two
days and conduct oral health screenings for three days.On the
students' first day, the entire group spends eight hours in a
calibration session so that they would consistently score
