- 1.
What type of untreated complex commonly results in caries?
- A.
Lipstick on teeth
- B.
Biofilm
- C.
Hydrogen peroxide
- D.
Chlorhexidine
Correct Answer
B. BiofilmExplanation
Biofilm is the correct answer because it is a complex community of microorganisms that forms on surfaces, including teeth. If left untreated, biofilm can lead to the development of caries, which are cavities or decay in the teeth. The bacteria in biofilm produce acids that erode the tooth enamel and cause caries. Regular brushing and flossing can help remove biofilm and prevent caries.Rate this question:

The CAMBRA methodology places focus on which element of dentistry?
- A.
Cavitated stage of lesion progression
- B.
Restorative dentistry
- C.
The Whole Disease process
- D.
Choice of restorative materials.
Correct Answer
C. The Whole Disease processExplanation
The CAMBRA methodology, which stands for Caries Management by Risk Assessment, places focus on the whole disease process in dentistry. This means that it takes into account all aspects of the disease, including risk factors, prevention, early detection, and management. It emphasizes the importance of identifying and addressing the underlying causes of dental caries, rather than just treating the symptoms or consequences of the disease. By considering the entire disease process, CAMBRA aims to provide a comprehensive and proactive approach to dental care.Rate this question:

What patient risk assessment factors does the CAMBRA approach consider?
- A.
Diet
- B.
Family Dental History
- C.
Remineralization technology
- D.
All of the above
Correct Answer
D. All of the aboveExplanation
The CAMBRA approach considers all of the above patient risk assessment factors. Diet plays a role in determining the risk of dental caries, as certain foods and drinks can increase the likelihood of tooth decay. Family dental history is also important, as genetic factors can contribute to an individual's susceptibility to dental problems. Remineralization technology is another factor taken into account, as it involves the use of products or procedures to strengthen and restore tooth enamel. Considering all of these factors helps in assessing the overall risk of dental caries in a patient.Rate this question:

What does CAMBRA, the acronym, stand for?
- A.
Caries Methodology BY Risk Assessment
- B.
Caries Management By Risk Assessment
- C.
Cost Management By Risk Assessment
- D.
Caries Management By Risk Association
Correct Answer
B. Caries Management By Risk AssessmentExplanation
CAMBRA stands for Caries Management By Risk Assessment. This acronym refers to a methodology used to assess the risk of developing dental caries (cavities) in individuals. It involves evaluating various risk factors, such as oral hygiene practices, diet, and previous dental history, to determine the likelihood of future caries development. Based on this assessment, appropriate preventive measures and treatment plans can be implemented to manage the individual's risk and promote oral health.Rate this question:

Which of the following provides protection from dental disease?
- A.
Antibacterials
- B.
Acid-Producing bacteria
- C.
Xylitol
- D.
Both A and C
Correct Answer
D. Both A and CExplanation
Both antibacterials and xylitol provide protection from dental disease. Antibacterials help to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria in the mouth, reducing the risk of dental infections and cavities. Xylitol, on the other hand, is a natural sweetener that has been shown to reduce the growth of harmful bacteria in the mouth and promote the production of saliva, which helps to neutralize acids and prevent tooth decay. Therefore, using both antibacterials and xylitol can be effective in preventing dental disease.Rate this question:

Which is a Pathological Factor for caries
- A.
Buffering Saliva
- B.
Frequency of carbohydrate intake
- C.
Fluoride
- D.
Frequent tooth brushing
Correct Answer
B. Frequency of carbohydrate intakeExplanation
The correct answer is frequency of carbohydrate intake. Carbohydrates are broken down by bacteria in the mouth to produce acid, which can lead to tooth decay. The more frequently carbohydrates are consumed, the more acid is produced, increasing the risk of caries. Therefore, the frequency of carbohydrate intake is a pathological factor for caries.Rate this question:

There are many positive outcomes that will result from integrating CAMBRA into a dental practice. However, what outcome below is not a realistic expectation for dentists adopting the methodology?
- A.
Dissemination of new ideas
- B.
Adoption of new caries management practices
- C.
The creation of a collaborative support system between dentist and patient
- D.
The complete elimination of dental disease
Correct Answer
D. The complete elimination of dental diseaseExplanation
The complete elimination of dental disease is not a realistic expectation for dentists adopting the CAMBRA methodology. While CAMBRA can help in preventing and managing dental caries, it does not guarantee the complete elimination of dental disease as there are various factors that contribute to dental health, including genetics, oral hygiene practices, and lifestyle choices. CAMBRA focuses on risk assessment and personalized preventive strategies, but it cannot completely eradicate dental disease in all patients.Rate this question:

- 8.
- Why does CAMBRA as a tool improve overall oral health in patients of all risk categories?
- A.
Helps identify risk in the early undetectable stages of decay
- B.
Promotes preventive care in all patients, regardless of age
- C.
Promotes a collaborative relationship between the dentist and patient in which oral health information is shared, and both the patient and the dentist are fully invested in the patient’s good oral health practices
- D.
All of the above.
Correct Answer
D. All of the above.Explanation
CAMBRA as a tool improves overall oral health in patients of all risk categories because it helps identify risk in the early undetectable stages of decay, promotes preventive care in all patients regardless of age, and promotes a collaborative relationship between the dentist and patient in which oral health information is shared and both parties are fully invested in the patient's good oral health practices.Rate this question:
