Question 1: What is an odontoblastic process?

Answer:

A living part of an odontoblast Question 2: After the completion of nonsurgical periodontal therapy, when should the re-evaluation appointment be scheduled?

Answer:

4-6 weeks Question 3: Without what strategy will treatments for hypersensitivity usually not be successful?

Answer:

Daily thorough oral self-care by the patient Question 4: If you suspect that your patient will require periodontal surgical therapy, what should you do first?

Answer:

Try nonsurgical therapy first.

Question 5: What term is used to define the act of removing rough cementum or dentin that is impregnated with calculus or toxins?

Answer:

Root planing Question 6: What are some examples of patients who only should be treated by a periodontist?

Answer:

A patient with furcation involvement, a patient with rapidly progressing periodontitis, or a patient with vertical (angular) bony defects of the alveolar bone

Question 7: What are the goals of nonsurgical therapy?

Answer:

Eliminate or control local risk factors for periodontal disease, minimize the bacterial challenge and the impact of systemic risk factors for periodontal disease, and stabilize attachment levels

Question 8: Who carries out the measures for nonsurgical therapy?

Answer:

Dentist, hygienist, and patient Question 9: What would you do at a re-evaluation appointment if the assessment findings show a moderate amount of generalized supragingival plaque biofilm and inadequate daily oral self-care?

Answer:

Retrain the patient in oral self-care procedures Question 10: How long does the natural process of blocking open dentinal tubules on exposed (open) dentinal tubules usually take?

Answer:

A few weeks

Question 11: What are common triggers of dentinal hypersensitivity?

Answer:

Touching the area with the bristles of a toothbrush, eating ice cream, and eating acidic foods

Question 12: What are the steps in the re-evaluation appointment?

Answer:

Update the medical history, perform periodontal clinical assessment, compare results, and decide on next steps Question 13: What is the minimum amount of time the hygienist should wait before reassessing tissue response and healing after periodontal instrumentation?

Answer:

• month

Question 14: What is the cause of dental hypersensitivity?

Answer:

Exposed dentin Question 15: What percentage of exposed dentin is hypersensitive until it is desensitized?

Answer:

Approximately 50% of patients experience this Question 16: What is the gold standard treatment for all patients with dental biofilm-associated gingivitis and Stage I and Stage II periodontitis?

Answer:

Nonsurgical therapy

Question 17: Why is it not necessary to remove the cementum during periodontal

instrumentation?

Answer:

Bacteria and toxins are not firmly embedded in cementum Question 18: What is the primary pattern of healing after periodontal instrumentation?

Answer:

Formation of a long junctional epithelium

Question 19: What is the goal of periodontal instrumentation?

Answer:

Render root surface and pocket space acceptable to tissue so healing occurs

Question 20: What are some examples of patients who might benefit from co-management by the referring general dentist and the periodontist?

Answer:

A pregnant patient with periodontal inflammation, patient with Stage III and Stage IV periodontitis, a patient who smokes Question 21: What action by the dental hygienist can result in dentinal hypersensitivity?

Answer:

Instrumentation of root surfaces Question 22: What is the hydrodynamic theory for the origin of dentinal hypersensitivity?

Answer:

Fluid movement within the tubules stimulates nerve endings associated with the odontoblastic processes Question 23: At the re-evaluation appointment for a patient who had gingivitis, the patient continues to have clinical signs of gingivitis. What would you recommend for this patient?

Answer:

Retrain the patient in oral self-care procedures

Question 24: What are the goals of nonsurgical therapy?

Answer:

Eliminate or control bacteria and local risk factors for periodontal disease, minimize the impact of systemic risk factors for periodontal disease, and stabilize attachment levels Question 25: What type of instrumentation is needed to convert a root surface from a site of disease to one of health?

Answer:

Periodontal instrumentation using the minimum amount of strokes and just enough pressure to completely remove the calculus and biofilm
