| Caries on the proximal or interproximal surface of posterior teeth are classified as | Class II |

| Radiographs are needed to determine class V carries? | False |
| Root caries could also be classified as? | Class V |
| An example of a lesion that is considered "simple" is | Occlusal |
| Your 15 year old patient is a chronic soda drinker. The Dentist confirms on the cervical one third, facially of #2-4 and 12-15. Identift the clasificafion | Type V |
| Which of the following classifications describes caries on the mesiobuccal cusp tip on tooth 14? | VI |
| Caries on the occlusal surface of #15 describe what location classification and caries type? | Pit and fissure. Type 1 |
| Radipgraphs are needed for caries detection on all of the following except? | Class I |
| Document the word that reflects the definitions "science and study of dengal caries" | Cariology |
| An individual can be in the high or low risk category for development of dental caries. All of the following factors are low risk except | Poor manual dexterity |
| A moderate or C-2 lesion would have a negative impact on the pulp of the tooth requiring endodontic therapy? | False |
| The carious lesuon that is impossible on radiographs to detect the depth of decay | Buccal |
| On a radiograph caries penetrating through enamel and Dentin over halfway through the Dentin towards the pulp is? | Severe |
| Caries is the most common child hood disease. Most caries occur on the occlusal surface | True |
| This caries penetrate over half way through the enamel towards the DEJ and is only seen on the enamel | C-2 |
| On a radiograph, caries appear? | Radiolucent (dark) |
| There are four methods of caries detection. As a hygienist it is expected that you make a caries diagnosis along with your dental charting? | First statement true, second false |
| An example of a C-1 carious lesion is an incipient caries found on a tooth that has never had any caries activity | True |
| During caries detection the radiograph of choice is | Bite wing |
| The depth of penetration of a carious lesion is deeper clinically than it appears on the radiograph. Therefore you may see the lesion clinically and not radiographically in early stages | True |
