DENTISTS / DENTAL SCHOLARS, could you please comment on my clinical dentistry exam question??
Question: Dentists / Dental Scholars and or Specialists,
I would really like a host of professional opinions on the following exam question taken from my final Clinical Dentistry exam. It's a no-brainer, but for some bizarre reason 4/6 points were scored 'incorrect'. I wish to consult my examiner and discuss.
The question was: List the intra-oral signs of an incorrect brushing technique (4).
My answer:
- evidence of cervical abrasion
- receeding gingiva
- inflamed gingiva
- gingival bleeding
- plaque buildup
- calculus
The examiner marked 4 of those incorrect, however, after researching further I've found all of the above to be intra-oral signs of incorrect brushing technique. Please would you comment / confirm below? Thank you in advance. Jon
Answers: Cervical abrasion - excessive forces or brush that is too stiff will wear in the dentinal area near the CEJ, especially in someone with recession
Receding gingiva - again, excess force with a brush can wear the gingiva
Inflamed gingiva, Gingival bleeding, plaque buildup - obvious signs that there has been inadequate plaque removal
Calculus - Inadequate removal of plaque can lead to calculus formation - Although, there are individuals that have impeccable oral hygiene that still have calculus buildup.
So I agree with your answers. The only one that I see as somewhat questionable is Calculus.
your answer is perfect
those are all pretty good. dentists are typically terrible test writers and even worse test graders.
most of the time they just like to break your balls.
