DH101 Final Study Guide with
Complete Solutions
Know about the length of time for supra and subcalculus to begin. - ANS-24-48 hours
when oral care is neglected
Reason for antibiotic premedication - ANS-To decrease the possibility of bacteremia
Know purpose of a Preprocedural antimicrobial rinse - ANS-Lowers the bacterial count
in the oral cavity
Define hyperkeratosis. - ANS-Abnormal thickening of the keratin layer of the epithelium
Define local enamel disturbance. - ANS-? Amelogenesis imperfecta- enamel
disturbance during mineralization
( other disturbances on pg 364)
Signs of a healthy gingiva. - ANS-Firm, Knife-edge margin, Pale pink in color, Fit snugly
around the tooth
Instrument selection for detecting subcalculus - ANS-Explorer ODU 11/12
Cause of tooth whitening sensitivity - ANS-associated with byproducts of 10 %
carbamide peroxide ( 3% hydrogen peroxide & 7% urea) passing through the enamel &
dentin into pulp in minutes. Reversible pulpitis
Know what makes up the sides of a sulcus/pocket. - ANS-Inner wall= enamel-tooth
surface
Outer wall= sulcular epithelium or pocket epithelium
Examples of how to write of a single, compound and complex cavity based on the
surfaces of the tooth. - ANS-Single: 1 surface O
Compound: 2 Surface MO
Complex: 3 surface MOD
Area of the tooth with the greatest incidence of gingivitis, and where gingivitis begins. -
ANS-Col
Functions of cementum - ANS-provide attachment to the collagen fibres present in the
periodontal ligament
, Know if children can experience gingivitis and periodontitis. - ANS-Children can
experience both gingivitis, and periodontitis
Know the most economical fluoride delivery. - ANS-Varnish method
Define evidence-based care. - ANS-Evidence alone is never enough to make a clinical
decision, only about what your options are
Know about pregnancy and fluoride supplements. - ANS-Fluoride supplements not
recommended
Angulation in degrees of a curette when scaling a tooth. - ANS-70- Gracey
90- Universal
Characteristics of an ideal toothbrush - ANS-Conforms to patient size, Easily
manipulated, Readily cleaned, Durable and inexpensive, end-rounded filaments,
Flexibility, Softness, strength, lightness of handle
Know the most important protective property of saliva in the caries process. - ANS-Acid
buffer
supplies minerals to replace calcium & phosphates
Know about the FDA regulation of power and manual toothbrushes. - ANS-ADA -
evaluates power brushes for reduction of biofilm and gingivitis
Types of gingival manipulation requiring antibiotic premedication. - ANS-Tooth
extraction, SRP, possible on polishing near the gum line using too of abrasive polishing
agent
Know the length of time for the acquired pellicle to form. - ANS-within minutes after
eruption and within minutes of being polished clean
Understand 'selective polishing'. - ANS-The teeth that need to be polished and the
agent used must be selected based on the patient's individual needs.
Know if stain can cause dental disease. - ANS-? Yes and no
Yes because of decalcification, or if the stain is rough where biofilm can adhere and
then cause caries, location of stain,
No stains can be a result of a disease
Know the continuingrecare appointments for: - ANS-Orally healthy patient, Severe
Gingivitis, Patient who has completed Localized or Full Mouth SRP therapy, Patient who
has completed the Re-Evaluation appt after SRP therapy:
Define Herpetic Whitlow. - ANS-Herpes of the finger
