    Chose the most effective mechanical device for cleaning interdental surface of teeth:

    • Interdental brushes

    • Conventional toothbrush

    • Powered tooth brush

    • Triangular tooth picks

    Correct Answer
    A. Interdental brushes
    Explanation
    Interdental brushes are the most effective mechanical device for cleaning interdental surfaces of teeth. These brushes are specifically designed to reach the spaces between teeth and remove plaque and food debris. Unlike conventional toothbrushes, interdental brushes have small bristles that can easily fit into these narrow spaces, ensuring thorough cleaning. Powered toothbrushes may also be effective, but interdental brushes provide more precise cleaning in hard-to-reach areas. Triangular toothpicks are not as effective as interdental brushes because they may not be able to clean the interdental surfaces as thoroughly.

    Gingivitis is initiated most commonly by:

    • Local irritation factors

    • Calcium deficiency

    • Malocclusion

    • Vitamin deficiency

    Correct Answer
    A. Local irritation factors
    Explanation
    Gingivitis is most commonly initiated by local irritation factors. This includes factors such as poor oral hygiene, plaque buildup, and irritants like tobacco or certain medications. These factors can cause inflammation of the gums, leading to gingivitis. Calcium deficiency, malocclusion, and vitamin deficiency can contribute to oral health issues, but they are not the primary cause of gingivitis.

    Tooth brushing appears to be the most effective in prevention of:

    • Periodontal diseases

    • Premalignant lesions

    • Bad breath

    Explanation
    Tooth brushing is the most effective in preventing periodontal diseases because it helps remove plaque and bacteria from the teeth and gums. Plaque buildup can lead to inflammation and infection of the gums, which can progress to periodontal diseases such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Regular brushing helps to keep the teeth and gums clean, reducing the risk of developing these conditions.

It focuses on addressing the root causes and risk factors of a disease in order to reduce the chances of it developing in the first place. This can involve promoting healthy behaviors, providing vaccinations, implementing public health campaigns, and creating supportive environments. By intervening at an early stage, primary prevention aims to reduce the overall burden of disease and promote overall health and well-being.

It assesses the presence of periodontal pockets, bleeding, calculus, and other indicators of periodontal disease. Based on the severity of these indicators, treatment needs can be determined. Therefore, CPITN is a suitable index for assessing treatment needs in the context of periodontal health.

By performing a pulpotomy or root canal therapy, the dentist aims to remove infected or damaged pulp, clean and disinfect the area, and then seal it to prevent further infection or damage. This procedure falls under the category of specific protection as it is a targeted intervention to protect and preserve the affected tooth from further deterioration or complications.

    • Dental education

    Correct Answer
    A. Pit fissure sealant
    Explanation
    Pit fissure sealant is a primary prevention service that is typically provided in the community, rather than by dental professionals. This is because pit fissure sealants are applied to the chewing surfaces of teeth to prevent the formation of dental caries. The application of sealants is a simple procedure that can be performed by trained individuals, such as dental hygienists or community health workers, in non-dental settings like schools or community centers. This allows for increased access to preventive care for individuals who may not have regular access to dental professionals.

    Primary prevention refers to actions taken to prevent a disease or condition from occurring in the first place. In the context of oral health, a supervised brushing program is an effective primary prevention measure. This program involves providing guidance and supervision to individuals, particularly children, in order to ensure proper brushing techniques and habits. By promoting good oral hygiene practices, such as regular and thorough brushing, the risk of dental diseases, such as cavities and gum disease, can be significantly reduced. Therefore, a supervised brushing program is a suitable example of primary prevention in oral health.

    The recommended level of fluoride in drinking water for temperate climate zones is 1 ppm. This level is considered optimal for preventing tooth decay and promoting dental health. It is important to maintain the right balance of fluoride in drinking water as too little fluoride may not provide the desired benefits, while too much fluoride can lead to dental fluorosis, a condition that causes discoloration and damage to tooth enamel. Therefore, 1 ppm is the recommended level to ensure the right amount of fluoride for dental health.

    The most cost – effective method for prevention of dental caries is:

    • Water fluoridation

    • Fluoride fissure – sealants

    • Fluoride mouth washer

    • Fluoride in salt

    Correct Answer
    A. Water fluoridation
    Explanation
    Water fluoridation is the most cost-effective method for preventing dental caries. Fluoride is added to the public water supply, which helps to strengthen tooth enamel and prevent tooth decay. This method is effective because it reaches a large population and requires minimal effort from individuals. Fluoride fissure-sealants are also effective, but they are more expensive and require professional application. Fluoride mouthwash and fluoride in salt are not as cost-effective as water fluoridation because they require individuals to purchase and use these products regularly.

    Correct Answer
    A. Sex
    Explanation

Biological differences between males and females can affect the way their bodies respond to infections, the effectiveness of treatments, and the overall health outcomes. Hormonal variations, reproductive anatomy, and genetic factors related to sex chromosomes can all play a role in determining the vulnerability to diseases.

    • Screening

    • Diagnosis

    • Case – finding

This can help in preventing the spread of the infection or disease and initiating appropriate treatment or interventions.
