Testlet No. 1
You practice dental hygiene in a private dental o ce that serves a
relatively higher socioeconomic status (SES) population of an
economically and ethnically diverse, multicultural city of 1.5 million
people. The city water supply is not uoridated; consequently,
dental caries experience is prevalent in the overall city population.
Most families in the city are of Hispanic descent. You recently
assisted the public health dental hygienist in conducting a screening
on the children in a local Title 1 elementary school to document
their oral health status. Fluoridation was defeated 10 years ago
because of a strong anti uoridation campaign. Fluoridation will be
on the ballot again in 8 months. The natural level of uoride (F) in
the community water is 0.2 mg/L.

1. As a private practice hygienist, what would be the best thing
for you to do to help get the uoride referendum passed?
a. Continue educating your patients on the bene ts of
uoride
b. Start calling community leaders

their uni ed plan of action

bene cial to ensure that the uoridation referendum will
pass. Which is the EXCEPTION?

throughout the community
3. Which of the following methods would be best to
communicate to the parents the overall oral needs of their
children after the screening?
a. Sending DMFT index results home with the children
b. Mailing literature on the importance of children’s oral
health to the parents
c. Phoning the parents to report findings of the screening on
their children and refer them for treatment
d. Sending Basic Screening Survey results home with a
referral and a list of local community dental clinics
4. How much F should be added to the water to bring the F level
to the optimal level recommended by the CDC?
a. 0.5 mg F
b. 0.7 mg F
c. 0.8 mg F
d. 1 mg F
5. If the fluoridation referendum fails to pass again, which
alternative program would be the best one to implement?
a. Send letters to parents to recommend they take their
children to the dentist for fluoride treatments
b. Give oral hygiene lessons in the classrooms
c. Initiate a school fluoride varnish program
d. Implement a sealant program

Testlet No. 2
Upon completion of a community oral health certification program,
you are employed as a public health dental hygienist in a local
health department to develop the first oral health unit in the
department. You are asked to plan, implement, and evaluate a
school-based educational and preventive program for selected
elementary schools in the school district. The population has a large
cohort of recently immigrated Vietnamese families. Your plan
includes classroom education and the use of a mobile dental van to
provide screenings, cleanings, sealants, fluorides, and referrals to

, dental homes. Surveillance data will be collected using the DMFT
index.

c. The need for dental services to be provided by the dental
homes
d. The children’s risk of contracting medical conditions

b. demonstration of the procedures by the children.
c. survey of the children’s attitudes about oral health,
administered orally.
d. unscheduled measurement of the index at school after
lunch.

a. Moderate positive relationship
b. Weak positive relationship
c. Moderate negative relationship
d. Weak negative relationship
