Objectives:
Untitled document
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Discuss the concept of the health care continuum and that the dental hygienists practice along the continuum of care promoting health and well-being in terms of disease treatment, disease prevention, and health promotion and explain the role of biofilm and calculus in the initiation and progression of caries, gingivitis and periodontal disease
2. Describe ways in which a patient's beliefs, attitudes and values can affect their oral health behavior and motivation for change
3. Define evidence-based decision making (EBDM), apply the EBDM process and skills to access different sources of evidence, and discuss evidence sources and levels of evidence
4. Explain the primary purpose in integrating caries management by risk assessment (CAMBRA)
5. Demonstrate comprehensive and individualized nutritional counseling for individuals at risk of dental caries and periodontal disease
6.Discuss oral conditions associated with dentinal hypersensitivity and risk factors most likely contributing to dentinal hypersensitivity
7. Discuss the dental hygiene process of care and toothbrushing, including evidence-based decision making with patients regarding selection and use of a toothbrush based on specific needs
8.Select effective self-care devices including interdental and supplemental self-care devices for each patient based on efficacy, individual needs, and preference
9. Discuss the process on selecting the right dentifrice, including the role of dentifrices in the demineralization and remineralization process
10.Describe the rationale for systemic and topical fluoride use in the prevention of dental diseases
