DH320 Final Review Guide for Dental Hygiene

Cantilever

type of fixed partial denture with a pontic supported by one or more teeth at one end only

Overdenture

a complete denture supported by both retained natural teeth and/or implants and the soft tissue of the residual alveolar ridge

upper denture

does affect taste and swallowing

Obturator

a prosthesis designed to close a congenital or acquired opening, such as a cleft of the hard palate

Stomatitis

type of denture-induced lesion that is an inflammatory condition of high prevalence among denture wearers (i.e. thrush)

Osseointegration

refers to direct structural and functional union between the implant and healthy living bone

Endosseous

most common dental implant placed within the bone to replace a single tooth

Anticoagulant

type of medication a patient may be taking which requires a medical consultation prior to implant placement

Periodontal disease

a significant risk factor for peri-implantitis and implant failure

Plaque biofilm

failure of dental implants is associated with increased _____________ accumulation

Acidulated

type of fluoride to avoid due to possible effects on the implant surface

Light grasp

used for root debridement strokes, assessment strokes, and instrument positioning during calculus removal

Systematically

when performing manual subgingival scaling, the direction of strokes should be applied _____________

Excessive lateral pressure

effects of this can result in the removal of tooth structure, loss of instrument control, and clinician fatigue

Hypochlorite solution

can be used as a chemical solution for denture immersion

Cystic fibrosis

systemic respiratory health condition that is a contraindication for cavitron use

Cutting edge

sharpening objectives include the preservation of the original shape of the blade and restoring a sharp ________

dull cutting edge

presents a flat, rounded shiny surface which can reflect light

Nondominant hand

used to hold the instrument when sharpening

Parallel

when sharpening, the face of the instrument should be ______ to the floor

Dental hygiene diagnosis

complementary to the dental diagnosis and provides a framework for collaboration between hygiene and dentistry for delivering patient-centered care

Therapeutic

the dental hygiene diagnosis provides a preventative and ______ basis for the dental hygiene care plan

Diagnosis

the 'D' in ADPIE

Evaluate

Eight

number of human needs related to

human needs

related to dental hygiene diagnostic process protection from health risks

Provide the basis for development of the care plan that focuses on education, oral self-care, prevention, dental hygiene treatment within the scope of dental hygiene practice and referral

care plan

Address patient needs identified from assessment data is one of the objectives for the dental hygiene

informed consent

a legal concept that can exist even without a written document

documented informed refusal of care

should always be recorded in the patient's permanent record

evaluation

a systematic determination of worth, value, or significance

formative evaluation

type of evaluation design that includes collecting information during a dental hygiene appointment, such as a patient's need for pain control

increased biofilm-free areas

a prevention outcome following dental hygiene intervention

tactile evaluation

type of clinical evaluation that would assess root concavities, crown margins, and furcations

standard of care

criteria or protocols that define the minimal quality of care required to defend against a legal dispute against the practice of one's profession

critical incident

a formal approach used to evaluate dental hygiene practice takes the form of answering questions about a specific situation

application

summary of insights or learning from the situation and a plan for addressing need for new knowledge or alternative action

continuing care appointments

continuing care appointments should always be scheduled to the patient's needs

post-treatment

type of continuing care appointment after the treatment has been rendered and the patient is in stable health

four

number of times per year it is recommended for a patient with a history of periodontal disease to be seen to decrease the risk for disease progression

primary objective

restore and maintain health of the periodontal tissues is the primary objective of the dental hygiene care plan for periodontal therapy
