The dental hygienist is assessing a mandibular molar tooth with a Nabers furcation probe. The furcation probe passes completely through the furcation between the mesial and distal roots; however, the entrance to the furca is not visible clinically. The level of furcation involvement presents as this class.
What is Class III furcation involvement?

A fulcrum in which a finger of the clinician's nondominant hand is used to concentrate lateral pressure against the tooth surface and help control the instrument stroke is called a(n) _____.
What is finger assist fulcrum?

How many times a powered instrument tip vibrates in 1 second is known as the _____.
What is the frequency?

When assessing your patient's maxillary right first molar for furcation involvement, the probe penetrated into the furcation but did not go through to the lingual. The class of furcation involvement is this.
What is Class II furcation involvement?

The most common measure of body fat is termed this:
What is BMI?

There is too much supragingival and subgingival calculus present in a patient's mouth for the clinician to remove in a single appointment. Since all the calculus deposits cannot be removed in one appointment, this is the best manner for the clinician to proceed with calculus removal.
What is scale as many teeth as you can to full completion (a quad)?
200
A fulcrum in which the finger of the nondominant hand serves as the resting point for the dominant hand is called a(n) _____.
What is Finger-on-finger fulcrum?
200
How far the tip of a powered instrument tip moves during one cycle is known as the _____.
What is amplitude?

The dental hygienist records the following findings for a mandibular central incisor: Total Width of attached gingiva: 7mm Probing depth: 6mm ?The width of the attached gingiva for this tooth is this.
What is 1mm?

Among lifestyle-related risk factors, smoking displays the greatest impact on periodontal. The second most common lifestyle related factor is this.
What is obesity? (BMI of 30 or greater).

Calculus can be removed from only two quadrants of the mouth at a single appointment, it is best to complete _____.
What is the left side or right side?

An extraoral fulcrum that involves resting the front surfaces of the middle, ring, and little fingers against the cheek and underlying bone of the mandible is called_________.
What is Palm facing out fulcrum?

On a powered instrument tip,this surface produces the greatest amount of energy vibrations.
What is the point of the tip?

The proper way to calculate the width of the attached gingiva is this:
What is subtract the probing depth from the total width of gingiva?

Adiponectin is a circulating hormone secreted by the adipose tissue involved in glucose and lipid metabolism. Low levels of adiponectin are associated with increased systemic inflammation. Adiponectin production is __________ in obese individuals.
What is decreased?
400
Evidence-based dental care is based on this.
What is scientific evidence?
400
Great clinical skills and psychomotor control are required for this type of fulcrum due to not as much stability and decreased tactile sensitivity.
What is advanced extraoral fulcrum techniques?
400
On a powered instrument tip, this surface should never be adapted to the tooth surface because it could damage the tooth surface.
What is the point of the tip?

During a periodontal assessment on a patient, the hygienist uses a probe to measure the distance from the CEJ to the base of a pocket. The clinical measurement the hygienist is obtaining is this.
What is the clinical attachment level?
500
Leptin is secreted from adipose tissue and plays an important role in regulating appetite and metabolism. Leptin acts to suppress appetite and increase energy expenditure. Most obese individuals have elevated leptin levels and the consequence is this.
What is does not suppress the appetite?
500
After scaling and root planing (or periodontal debridement), a periodontal abscess may form for this reason.
What is incomplete calculus removal?

Cross arch fulcrum, opposite arch fulcrum, and finger-on-finger fulcrum are examples of this kind of fulcruming technique.
