The study of the relationship between a person's body and their work environment.

What is Ergonomics?

100

This is what we call the clinician's angle of approach to a patient because it is compared to the numbers on a clock.

What is clock position?

100

This periodontal structure is similar to bone and covers the tooth from the CEJ to the apical foramen.

What is cementum?

100

This is an unstructured, loosely adherent collection of oral debris. 

What is Materia Alba?

100

This stage is the most severe classification of advanced periodontitis.

What is Stage IV? (periodontitis)

200

When these body parts are in neutral position, they are flat on the floor, shoulder width apart.

What are the feet?

200

This trait of a clinician will determine whether they approach the patient from the right or left side. 

What is dominant hand? (also acceptable: Left-or Right- handed)

200

The periodontal ligament is the fibrous connective tissue that attaches cementum to this.

What is the Alveolar Bone?

200

This mature, highly mineralized deposit is found coronal to the CEJ.

What is SUPRA-gingival calculus?

200

The inflammatory conditions are contained within the gingiva and do not extend to other components of the periodontia.

What is Gingivitis?

300

When this body part is in neutral working position, the head is tilted forward 0-20° and there is a vertical line of vision from eyes to treatment area.

What is the neck?

300

This range of clock position can be used by both the right-and left-handed clinician for viewing and treating the patient's anterior teeth.

What is 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock.

300

This may be defined as the the discharging of pus.

What is suppuration?

300

This non-mineralized mixture of colonized bacteria, organic and inorganic elements, and extracellular matrix is found on the crowns of teeth.

What is SUPRA-gingival biofilm (or plaque)

300

Periodontal stage is determined by: clinical attachment loss, tooth loss due to periodontitis, and this.

What is radiographic bone loss (RBL)?

400

When these body parts are in neutral position, they are relaxed, and in a straight line, and NOT hunched forward or lifted toward the ears.  

What are the shoulders?

400

This position for the right-handed clinician is equivalent to the 3 o'clock position for the left-handed clinician.

What is 9 o'clock ?

400

This structure attaches the gingiva to the tooth and forms the base of the sulcus. 

What is the junctional epithelium?

400

These discolorations can not be removed with instruments or polishing.

What are intrinsic stains?

400

This denotes the rate of progression of periodontitis.

What is (periodontal) Grade?

500

When this body part is in neutral position, the wrist is aligned with the forearm, and the little finger is slightly lower than the thumb.

What is the hand?

This slimy gel is secreted by bacteria and forms a framework in which the bacterial colonies to grow

What is Extracellular Matrix?   (AKA: Extracellular Polymeric Substance)

500

The source of elements which mineralize this deposit are sulcular fluid and exudate.

What is SUB-gingival calculus?

500

Either of these two (2) systemic factors may push a patient into a higher level periodontal grade. 

What are: Smoking and Diabetes?

600

Carpal tunnel syndrome, tennis elbow, and frozen shoulder are all examples of this type of injury.

What is a repetitive strain injury?

600

In this position, the clinician's knees are under the patients' head, and hip is near the patient's ear. (Give EITHER Right-or Left-handed position)

What is 8 o'clock (Right handed)

What is 4 o'clock (Left handed)

600

This slimy gel is secreted by bacteria and forms a framework in which the bacterial colonies to grow

What is Desquamated?

600

This soft deposit is made up of 4 layers which include predominantly gram-negative anaerobic bacteria and other motile organisms. 

What is SUB-gingival biofilm? (or plaque)

600

This inflammatory lesion is usually not accompanied by any clinically visible signs of inflammation.

What is the initial lesion?
