    What is the score?
  22. Describe Pl I scoring for area.
    each area (D, F, M, or L) is assigned a score from 0-3
  23. Describe Pl I scoring for a tooth.
    scores for each area are totaled and divided by 4
  24. Describe Pl I scoring for groups of teeth.
    scores for individual teeth may be grouped and totaled and divided by the number of teeth.
  25. Describe Pl I scoring for the individual.
    add the scores for each tooth and divide by the number of teeth examined. the Pl I ranges from 0-3
  26. What are the scores for each of the following in the Pl I index?
    • 0
    • 0.1-0.9
    • 1.0-1.9
    • 2.0-3.0
  27. Describe the Pl I scoring for a group.
    add the scores for each member of a group and divide by the number of individuals
  28. What is the purpose of the plaque control record?
    recored presence of biofilm on indivdidual tooth surfaes to permit pt to visualized progress while learning biofilm control
  29. The following scoring method applies to which index?
    total the number of teeth present, multiply by 4 to obtain the number of available surfaces. count the number of surfaces w/ biofilm.
    multiply number of surfaces w/biofilm by 100 and divide by number of total available surfaces
    plaque control record
  30. To determine the location, number, and percentage of biofilm-free surfaces for individual motivation and instruction. Interdental bleeding can also be documented. Is the purpose of which index?

    • 3: colored area of probe partly visible; requirements for codes 1 and 2 may be visible
    • 4: colored area of probe disappears; probe more than 5.5 mm

    to measure the prevelance and severity of dental fluorosis
  45. What teeth are selected in DEAN'S FLUOROSIS INDEX?
    smooth surface enamel of all teeth

    4: moderate
    5: severe
    • 0: smooth, creamy whited enamel surface

    • 3: white opaque areas more extensive than category 2, but cover less than 50% of tooth
