the evaluation of specified index teeth for:
A. gingival inflammation
B. depth of periodontal pockets
C. presence of supra/-subgingival calculus
D. both A & B
E. all of the above.
Explanation: The Community Periodontal
Treatment Index Need (CPTIN) is primarily
a screening procedure which requires
clinical assessment for the presence or
absence of periodontal pockets, calculus and
gingival bleeding
2. The CPITN records the common treatable
conditions except:
A. Periodontal pockets B. Tooth mobility
C. Gingival inflammation
D. Dental Calculus E. None of the
above
Explanation: It does not record irreversible
changes such as recession or other deviations
from periodontal health such as tooth
mobility or loss of periodontal attachment.
3. ART was pioneered in the mid 80’s in:
A. Africa B. Germany C. Thailand
D. Zimbabwe E. Pakistan
Explanation: Atraumatic Restorative

restorative treatment (ART) except:
A. The material should be biocompatible
B. Harden without special equipment
C. Aimed at primary dentition
D. Use of lightcure to set the material
E. None of the above

be free of dental caries; The global average
to be no more than 3 DMFT at 12 years of
age; 85% of the population should retain all
their teeth at the age of 18 years; A 50%
reduction in edentulousness among the 35-

7. Index that measures conditions that
will not change
A. Irreversible index 1. Code in ICDAS where there should be no
C. Both A & B evidence of caries Surfaces with
 developmental defects such as enamel
hypoplasia; fluorosis; tooth wear and
extrinsic or intrinsic stains will be
recorded as sound?
A. Code 0
B. Code 1
C. Code 2
D. Code 3
Correct answer: A. Code 0.
Explanation: Code 1- When seen wet there is
no evidence of any change in color
attributable to carious activity, but after
prolonged air drying, a carious opacity or
discoloration (white or brown lesion) is
visible, which is not consistent with the
clinical appearance of sound enamel, or when
there is a change of color due to caries it is
not consistent with the clinical appearance of
sound enamel and is limited to the confines
of the pit and fissure area (whether seen wet
or dry). Code 2 - The tooth must be viewed
wet. When wet there is a carious opacity
(white spot lesion)and/or brown carious
discoloration which is wider than the natural
fissure/fossa that is not consistent with the
clinical appearance of sound enamel. Code 3
- The tooth viewed wet may have a clear
carious opacity (white spot lesion) and/or
brown carious discoloration which is wider
than the natural fissure/fossa that is not
consistent with the clinical appearance of
sound enamel. Once dried for approximately
5 seconds there is carious loss of tooth
structure at the entrance to, or within, the pit
or fissure/fossa.
2. Code in ICDAS where Extensive
Distinct Cavity with Visible Dentin.
Cavitation in opaque or discolored
enamel exposing the dentin beneath
involving at least half of the tooth
surface?
A. Code 4
B. Code 5
C. Code 6
D. Code 7
Correct answer: C. Code 6.
Explanation: code 4- Underlying Dark
shadow from dentin, This lesion appears as a
shadow of discolored dentin visible through
an apparently intact enamel surface which
may or may not show signs of localized
breakdown (loss of continuity of the surface
that is not showing the dentin). The shadow
appearance is often seen more easily when
the tooth is wet. Code 5- Distinct Cavity with
Visible Dentin, Cavitation in opaque or
discolored enamel exposing the dentin
beneath involving less than half of the tooth
surface. And there is no Code 7 in ICDAS
3. What is the meaning of CPITN?

d. Be insensitive to moisture or
desiccation
e. Soften without special equipment
▪ The answer is letter E. last ideal
requisite of an ART Material must be

ART?
a. Filled with self-cure capsulated GI
b. Aimed at primary dentition
c. Use only hand instrument to remove
caries (selective removal to hard

d. Target at Pre-school children

a. CIPTN
b. CPITN
c. CITNP
d. CPTNI
▪ The answer is letter B. This stands
for COMMUNITY PERIODONTAL
INDEX TREATMENT NEEDS.
(CPITN)
4. Incorporates sufficient
examination sites to cover all
important subgroups of the
population that may have differing
disease levels or treatment needs,
and at least three of the age groups
or index ages defines?
a. Pilot
b. Subgroups
c. National
▪ The answer is letter C. This type of
survey design is suitable for
collection of data for planning and
monitoring of services in all
countries whatever the level of
disease, availability of resources, or
complexity of services.
5. This age is especially important, as
it is generally the age at which
children leave primary school, and
therefore in many countries, is the
may be obtained easily through the
school system in what age?
 a. 5
b. 12
c. 15
d. 35
▪ The answer is letter B. it is likely at
this age that all permanent teeth,
except third molars, will have
erupted. For these reason, 12 years
has been chosen as the global
monitoring age for caries for
international comparisons and
monitoring of disease trends.
6. Data for this group are needed
both for planning appropriate care
for the elderly and for monitoring
the overall effects of oral care
services in a population in what
age?
a. 35-44
b. 55-64
c. 65-74
d. 75-84
▪ The answer is letter C. This age
group has become more important
with the changes in age distribution
and increases in life-span that are
now occurring in all countries.
Examination of representative members of
this age group is often not as difficult as for
the previous age group, as elderly people are
more likely to be found in or near their
homes, or in day centres.
7. Design of an oral health survey can
be used to estimate the following
except?
a. the privacy and mildness of minor
oral diseases and conditions.
b. the extent to which oral health
programmes match the need for care
of population groups and the need
for community-oriented disease
prevention and health promotion.
c. the nature and urgency of the oral
health intervention required.
▪ The answer is letter A. It should be
the distribution and severity of major
oral diseases and conditions.
8. This age is of interest in relation to
levels of caries in the primary
dentition which may exhibit
changes over a shorter time span
than the permanent dentition at
other index ages. This age states
at?
a. 3
b. 4
c. 5
d. 6
▪ The answer is letter C. Where it is
practical and feasible, children
should be examined between their
5th and 6th birthdays. In countries
where school entry is later, e.g. at 6
or 7 years, these ages can be used,
though the mean age should be
reported with the results.
In these older age groups, missing
primary incisor teeth should not be
scored as missing because of the
difficulty in differentiating between
primary incisors lost due to exfoliation
and those lost because of caries or
trauma.
9. Patient’s position includes?
a. A patient lying on the back on a flat
surface will provide a comfortable
and stable position
b. A head rest made of firm foam or a
rubber ring with a cover that
improves the comfort of the patient
c. So the patient should be placed on a
flat surface, e.g. a bamboo or
wooden bed, an appropriate portable
dental bed, or a table..
d. The patient is positioned so that the
saliva collects in the back of the oral
cavity
e. All of the above
▪ The answer is letter E. All of these
are musts on patient positioning.
10. Limitation of ART includes the
following except?
a. It should provide best view for
the operator inside of the
patient’s mouth and both
operator and patient should be
comfortable
b. The possibility exists of hand
fatigue from the use of hand
instruments.
c. Hand mixing might produce a
relatively unstandardized mix of
glass ionomer
▪ The answer is letter A. That is one of
the operator’s consideration. The
other limitation of ART states long-
term survival rates of glass ionomer
ART restorations and sealants are
not yet available, the longest study
reported so far is of three years
duration.
