Oral Hygiene Indices (test 6) | Exam Predictions
1. ORAL HYGIENE INDICES: USED IN CLINICAL PRACTICE AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS
DETERMINES AND RECORDS ORAL HEALTH STATUS OF INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS
2. types of scoring methods: 1. Individual Assessment Score
2. Clinical Trial
3. Epidemiologic Survey
4. Community Surveillance
3. Purpose of Individual Assessment Score: • Education
• Motivation
• Evaluation
- Evaluate progress of healing after treatment
- Measure effects of patient's oral care at efforts at home
4. uses of Individual Assessment Score: • Helps patient recognize oral problem
• Effectiveness of treatment
• Motivate the patient
• Evaluate success of oral self care over a period of time
5. purpose of clinical trial: • Comparing experimental/controlgroups
• Examples- Gingival Index(GI) & Patient Hygiene Performance (PHP)
6. uses of clinical trial: • Determine baseline data before experiment introduced
• Measure specific agents for biofilm control
• Measure effectiveness of toothbrushes, interdental cleaning
7. purpose of Epidemiologic Survey: • Study of disease in a population
• Trends/patterns of oral health and disease in a population
• Example- DMFT
8. uses of Epidemiologic Survey: • Determine prevalence/incidence of condition within a
population
• Provide baseline data
• Provide data to support public health interventions
9. purpose of Community Surveillance: • Oral health screenings by government
agencies,community-based services & professional associations
10.uses of Community Surveillance: • Assess needs of community
• Help plan community-based health promotion
• Compare results of community-based programs
11.Oral Hygiene Indices: • Oral Hygiene Status
• Gingival and Periodontal Health
• Dental Caries
• Fluorisis
