MULTIPLE CHOICE JI




1. What is the discipline of dental hygiene?
JI JI JI JI JI JI


a. The study of teeth and their supporting structures
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


b. Brushing and flossing one’s teeth and rinsing with an antimicrobial mouth rinse
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


twice a day, morning and night JI JI JI JI JI


c. The study of preventive oral healthcare, including the management of behavior to
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


prevent oral disease and promote health JI JI JI JI JI

d. The study of those procedures that dental hygienists provide to clients
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI




ANS: C J I


The study of teeth and their supporting structures. This answer is wrong because the discipline
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


of dental hygiene covers much more information than the study of teeth and supporting struct
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


ures. Dental hygiene focuses on the preventive measures that the teeth and supporting structur
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


es must receive, in addition to other oral healthcare steps that must be taken to promote one’s
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI J I JI JI


health.
Brushing and flossing one’s teeth and rinsing with an antimicrobial mouth rinse twice a day,
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


morning and night. This answer is wrong because this statement describes only one procedure
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


within the discipline of dental hygiene. Dental hygiene is a much larger and general field of st
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


udy than this simple preventive action.
JI JI JI JI JI


The study of preventive oral healthcare including the management of behavior to prevent oral
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


disease and promote health. This answer is correct because this is the direct definition of dent
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


al hygiene. The definition can be broken down into smaller, specified divisions to further deve
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


lop the discipline of dental hygiene.
JI JI JI JI JI


The study of those procedures that dental hygienists provide to clients. This answer is wrong
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


because dental hygienists play many interrelated roles, such as clinician, educator, administrat
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


or or manager, advocate, and researcher. Although each of these roles is created to assist in dent
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


al hygiene, the discipline is not centered on the actions and procedures of the dental hygienist.

2. Who is the professional dental hygienist?
JI JI JI JI JI


a. A licensed preventive oral health professional who has graduated from a Co

b. A licensed person who has learned on the job via a preceptorship program, such as t

A licensed preventive oral health professional who has graduated from a Commission on Dent

al Accreditation, accredited, entry level dental hygiene program. This answer is correct becau
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


se to be eligible as a professional dental hygienist, the person must have graduated from an acc

redited dental hygiene program. JI JI JI


A licensed person who has learned on the job via a preceptorship program, such as the Alaba
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


ma Dental Hygienists Program. This answer is wrong because a dental hygienist cannot learn o
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


n the job to become a professional. Rather, they must pass written examinations and graduate
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


from an accredited dental hygiene program.
JI JI JI JI JI


A dentist who has graduated from a Commission on Dental Accreditation, accredited, dental sc
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


hool program. This answer is wrong because a dentist has a higher degree than a dental hygie
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


nist and therefore, generally, works above a dental hygienist. It is not necessary for a dental h
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


ygienist to receive an education from a dental school. JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


A person who has graduated from a Commission on Dental Accreditation, accredited, dental as

assisting program would only be licensed as a dental assistant.

3. All of these services are provided by the majority of dental hygienists in the clinical setting
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


except one. Which one is the exception? JI JI JI JI JI JI


a. Perform periodontal maintenance care. JI JI JI


b. Implement interventions to direct a person back to oral wellness. JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


c. Provide fluoride varnish treatment. JI JI JI


d. Place and remove restorations. JI JI JI




ANS: D J I


Perform periodontal maintenance care. This is a service provided in the clinical setting. The cl
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


inical setting allows for application of preventive and therapeutic agents related to periodontal
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


disease. For example: subgingival sustained-
JI JI JI JI JI


release delivery systems containing chlorhexidine.JI JI JI JI


Implement interventions to direct a person back to oral wellness. This is a service provided in t
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


he clinical setting. The main goal of a dental hygienist is to prevent oral disease and promote h
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


ealth. Therefore, if the state of an individual’s oral health changes, the dental hygienist (withi
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


n the scope of the clinical setting) can provide some degree of intervention to direct the indivi
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


dual back to oral wellness. JI JI JI JI


Provide fluoride varnish treatment. This is a service provided in the clinical setting. The clinic
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


al setting allows for application of preventive and therapeutic agents related to dental caries. F
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


luoride varnish treatments prolong fluoride exposure on the tooth surface for safe and effective
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI J


caries control.
I JI


Place and remove restorations. This service is not provided by the majority of dental hygienist
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


s in the clinical setting. Only a few dental hygienists have the certification to place restoration
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


s, while many others do not. Also, the removal of restorations is not a given action of a dental h
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


ygienist in the clinical setting. JI JI JI JI

JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


a. Observation
b. Diagnosis
c. Communication skills JI

,https://www.stuvia.com/




d. Client care JI




ANS: B J I


Observation. This answer is wrong because dental hygienists must go further than simply obse
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


rving the client. The hygienist must assess the client by thoroughly collecting data. Diagnosis.
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI J


This answer is correct because identifying the diagnosis is the focal point for establishing goa
I JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


ls in the dental hygiene care plan. The client’s dental hygiene needs are determined so that spe
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


cific interventions can be implemented.
JI JI JI JI


Communication skills. This answer is wrong because the communication skills are not a key behavi JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


or and are not necessary to complete the dental hygiene process.
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


Client care. This answer is wrong because client care is not one of the steps in dental hygiene c
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


are. However, proper client care is the goal being achieved through the key behaviors.

5. Which of the following is not an environmental factor that the dental hygienist takes into
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


account in the Human Needs Model? JI JI JI JI JI


a. Age
b. Attitudes
c. Lifestyles
d. Weight
ANS: D J I


Age. This answer is an environmental factor that must be taken into account because age plays
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


a large role in the development of an individual’s oral health.
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


Attitudes. This answer is an environmental factor that must be taken into account because it ca

n have an effect on the dental hygiene process.
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


Lifestyles. This answer is an environmental factor that must be taken into account because an indivi
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


dual’s oral health can be affected by lifestyle choices.
JI JI JI JI JI JI JI JI


Weight. This answer is not an environmental factor that must be taken into account because an i

ndividual’s weight does not affect their oral health. The diet choices that go along with a perso
