Dental Hygiene National Board
Community Oral Health and Indices
A first year dental hygiene student were asked by their instructor to brush and floss
normally and then apply disclosing solution to dermic their plaque-free scores.
Compiling the data from the entire class, scores were plotted out using a Gaussian
curve. The most commonly occurring plaque-free score was 86, what would be the
mean? - ANSWER-86
An example of a formal evaluation? - ANSWER-written pre and post test
An example of a informal evaluation is? - ANSWER-questioning audience during a
presentation
At what stage does the learner personalize information? - ANSWER-Self -Interest
At what stage is the learner motivated and willing to act and old ideas are replaced by
new ones? - ANSWER-Involvement
Both medicare and medicaid were created by? - ANSWER-Social Security Act of 1965
Can prospective and retrospective be considered a longitudinal study? - ANSWER-YES
Diagnosis in the dental setting is Most like what procedure performed in the community
setting? - ANSWER-Data Analysis
Evaluation of a Program is considered formal and informal true or false? - ANSWER-
True
How do we go about drafting a plan? - ANSWER-develop a lesson plan and
implementation strategies, choose activities or procedures that have been successful in
the PAST, no need to re-invent the wheel
How does Epidemiologic studies usually report finding? - ANSWER-in terms of
prevalence or incidence of disease
How many examination methods are there? - ANSWER-4 methods
How to remember dependent variable? - ANSWER-DEPENDS on the independent
variable
How to remember independent variable? - ANSWER-IN is in both intervention and
independent
, How to remember sensitivity? - ANSWER-en is found in both sENsitivity and presENce
How to remember specificity? - ANSWER-EN is ABSENT from specificity
How to remember the stages of learning for an individual? - ANSWER-Ugly Apes Sit In
A Hut
Is the mean sensitive to extreme values (range)? - ANSWER-YES
The analyses wether or not goals and objectives were met is considered? - ANSWER-
Evaluation of Program or Program Appraisal
This indice is developed by WHO and determines periodontal needs versus periodontal
status, requires special probe? - ANSWER-CPITN=Comminity Periodontal Index of
Treatment Needs
This indice is irreversible and looks at surrounding tissue, questionable for validity (no
CAL)- limitation? - ANSWER-PI=Periodontal Index
This indice is reversible and irreversible because it measures gingivitis and periodontitis
separately? - ANSWER-PDI=Periodontal Disease Index
This indice is reversible and measures plaque after toothbrushing to assess patient's
skills? - ANSWER-PHP=Patient Hygiene Performance
This indice scores plaque according to its thickness at the gingival margin and is
reversible? - ANSWER-PI=Plaque Index
This indices is reversible and measures oral hygiene status by assessing sub- and
supra gingival plaque and calculus? - ANSWER-OHI-S= Simplified Oral Hygiene Index
This indices is useful as a preliminary screening technique and for use in large
populations. It rapidly assesses periodontal health? - ANSWER-PSR= Periodontal
Screening and Recording
This refers to the probability that a condition or circumstance would happen just by
chance without experimental intervention; this will test the hypothesis? - ANSWER-p-
value or probability value
True or False the evaluation must be continuous from the beginning of the program? -
ANSWER-True
True or False, the bigger the range or "standard deviation" the wider the distribution
curve? - ANSWER-True
True or False, the median is affected by high or low scores? - ANSWER-False
