Public Health Dentistry - 3 Questions

1
Public Health Dentistry

The most simple and effective method of educating a child to the problem of caries control is
1. the use of disclosing test
2. the Alban test
3. showing the child plaque present on teeth
4. the Snyder test

📝 Explanation:

Disclosing agents are solutions or tablets that are used to reveal plaque and food debris on the teeth that are not easily seen with the naked eye. When children can visually see the areas they need to clean more thoroughly, they are more likely to understand the importance of good oral hygiene and improve their brushing and flossing techniques.

Measures for the quantification of dental epidemiological data are collectively known as
1. rates
2. caries activity tests
3. incidence
4. indices

📝 Explanation:

Dental indices are used to measure the prevalence and severity of dental diseases, such as dental caries and periodontal disease, within a population. They provide a standardized way to quantify dental health and allow for comparisons between different groups.

Public Health Dentistry

The number of patients required in a clinical trial to treat a specify disease increases as:

1. the incidence of the disease decreases.
2. the significance level increases.
3. the size of the expected treatment effect increased.
4. the drop-out rate increases.

📝 Explanation:

A higher drop-out rate can reduce the power of a study, as it leads to a smaller sample size and potentially less reliable results. To maintain the statistical significance and power of the study, a larger sample size must be enrolled initially to account for the expected number of participants who will not complete the study. Other factors that influence sample size include the incidence of the disease, the significance level, and the size of the expected treatment effect, but the question specifically asks about the impact of an increasing drop-out rate.
