Periodontology I Quiz #2 Study Guide
1) Know who is MOST responsible for the long term maintenance after periodontal therapy
The patient is responsible for long-term maintenance
2) Know best OHI home care tools for large embrasures, complex root architecture, and furcation areas
Interdental brushes facilitate cleaning of proximal root surfaces, including access into the developmental grooves, attachment loss, long exposed root surfaces, complex root architecture.
3) Know the best tooth brushing method for cleaning of the sulcus
Bass
4) Know rationales for best OHI home care items (case study and you choose the items given to the patient)
5) Know the first and Major CLINICAL feature of dental plaque induced gingivitis
6) Know what is the most effective antibacterial agent available today (i.e chlorahexidine, listerine etc.)
Most effective antibacterial agent available today is chlorhexidine. It reduces plaque and gingivitis. Alters bacterial cell wall and interferes with adsorption of bacterial to teeth.
Listerine is ADA approved for its effectiveness in reducing gingivitis
7) Know what the possible side effects of anti-calculus toothpastes is
Side effect may be epithelial sloughing
8) Know how difficult or easy it is to remove toxins from root surfaces
9) Know, in private practice, who is required to review and sign the health history form
The medical history must be sign and date by both the patient and the dental hygienist to validate the patient’s responses.
10) Name the active ingredient to anti-calculus toothpaste
Active ingredient is soluble pyrophosphate that inhibits amorphous calcium phosphate around the teeth from crystallizing into hydroxyapatite. (Which is the most common crystal in calculus) or zinc citrate, which may be plaque inhibiting (process not as well understood)
11) Know the complete definition of attrition and abrasion and their differences
Abrasion is the wearing away of the
