Computer Simulated Clinical
Examination-Dental Hygiene
Neurofibroma - ANS-A benign tumor most commonly on the tongue; can be on the
lateral border of tongue. This tumor is derived from nerve tissue.

MRSA - ANS-Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus-is a strain of the staph
bacteria that lives on 20-30% of the population but does not cause infection in all who
are colonized with it. MRSA resides on the skin and in the nasal passage, and once you
contract a MRSA staph infection it can be very difficult to eradicate the bacteria.

MRSA antibiotics - ANS-Many antibiotics can be used to treat this condition. Look for
any of these: vancomycin, linezolid, bactrim, septra, tetracycline, minocycline,
doxycycline, and clindamycin.

Prednisone - ANS-Delayed wound healing, poor healing, with increased risk of infection.
This medication affects the immune response.

Ultrasonic insert with plastic tips - ANS-Can be used with implants for removal of
calculus. Also, titanium and plastic hand instruments can be used on implants.

Oraqix duration - ANS-Approximately 20 minutes.

Hutchinson's Incisors - ANS-Congenital syphillus- notched incisal edges on incisors,
also mulberry molars- tiny globules of enamel instead of cusps on first molars.

Class I Occlusion - ANS-(Mesognathic)-normal; mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first
molar is positioned in the buccal groove of the mandibular first molar. Maxillary canine
occluded with the distal half of the mandibular canine and the mesial half of the
mandibular first premolar.

Class II Occlusion - ANS-(Retrognathic) buccal groove of the mandibular first
permanent molar is distal go the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first permanent
molar by at least the width of a premolar. Distal portion of the maxillary canine is mesial
to the mesial portion of the mandibular canine by at lease the width of a premolar.

Division I-retruded mandible with one or more maxillary anterior teeth protruded facially.

Division II- retruded mandible with one or more maxillary anterior teeth inclined lingually.

Class III Occlusion - ANS-(Prognathic) Buccal groove of the mandibular first permanent
molar is mesial to the mesiobuccal cusp of the maxillary first permanent molar by at
lease the width of a premolar. Mesial portion of the maxillary canine is distal to the distal
surface of the mandibular canine by the width of a premolar.

Arch development - ANS-Each dental arch goes through phases of development as the
permanent teeth erupt and the primary teeth are shed.
During this time, the ramus and body of the jaw develops and undergoes lengthening
and horizontal growth to achieve its mature form and accommodate the larger
permanent teeth.

Leeway space - ANS-This difference in size, mesiodistally between the two types of
teeth. The contour of the bone covering the narrower roots of the premolars, in addition
to the state of flux of the bone formation in this area, furnishes adjustment for dental
arch measurements, making the middle segment of the arches important architecturally.
Leeway space allows the future forward movement of the permanent molars.

The canine relationship between the arches in primary teeth is the same as: - ANS-As
that of the permanent dentition.

Terminal plane - ANS-The ideal molar relationship in the primary dentition, when in
centric occlusion.

Flush terminal plane - ANS-In which the primary maxillary and mandibular second
molars are in an end‑to‑end relationship.

Mesial step - ANS-In which the primary mandibular second molar is mesial to the
maxillary second molar.

Distal step - ANS-In which the primary mandibular second molar is distal to the
maxillary second molar, is not an ideal molar relationship in the primary dentition and
thus is not a type of terminal plane relationship.

Primate spaces - ANS-Within a primary dentition, primate spaces may occur between
the primary teeth; a space is noted between the maxillary lateral incisor and the canine,
and between the mandibular first molar and canine.

The most common occlusion related OMD is: - ANS-Tongue thrusting, which is the
functional deviations occurring with habitual incorrect placement and use of the tongue,
lips, and mandible during physiological rest, chewing, swallowing, and/or functional
speech patterning.

Myofunctional considerations-mandible - ANS-The mandible may be more retruded
during development in these situations or when a parafunctional habit, such as digit
sucking, is present due to the excessive pressures of the thumb or hand resting against
the mandible or the increased muscle activation of the mentalis muscle to help support
an incompetent or everted lower lip pattern.

Myofunctional considerations-lingual frenum - ANS-Another issue is the length of the
lingual frenulum. If the lingual frenulum is restricted, as with ankyloglossia, it limits the
possibility of creating appropriate pressure against the maxillary arch for normal
expansion.

Scalloped tongue - ANS-Indentations in the lateral border; harmless.

Macroglossia - ANS-Large tongue.

Hairy tongue - ANS-Elongation of filiform papillae (dorsum) clean tongue.

Hairy leukoplakia - ANS-Lateral border, white, corrugated lesions, associated with HIV,
Epstein Barr virus.

Geographic tongue - ANS-Benign, inflammatory condition, irregular patches look like
map.

Anemia - ANS-Impaired O2 delivery, 1st pale tongue, flattening of filiform papillae,
finally painful and red.

Fissured tongue - ANS-Associated with xerostomia, clean tongue.

Cyst of Blandin-Nuhn - ANS-Accessory salivary glands on ventral surface, cyst
develops from trauma.

Median Rhomboid Glossitis - ANS-Raised, red, glossy, slanted rectangular shape on
dorsum due to Candida albicans infection.

Granular Cell Tumor - ANS-Benign tumor, granular tissue, circumscribed.
