Assessment Strategies
Oral, Written or Graphic Assessment
Criteria
classify the types of carious lesions
categorize the location of carious lesions using GV Black classification
categorize the extent of carious lesions
-
Select techniques for detecting caries
Assessment Strategies
Oral, Written or Graphic Assessment
Criteria
determine techniques that will be effective in detecting the location of various carious lesions
determine techniques that will be effective in determining the extent of various carious lesions
-
Identify the etiology and progression of caries
Assessment Strategies
Oral, Written or Graphic Assessment
Criteria
explain how biofilm will histologically alter enamel and dentin
determine the type(s) of bacteria found in biofilm in various stages of age and progression
characterize types soft deposits; acquired pellicle, biofilm, material alba and how each will contribute demineralization and the progression of caries
explain how removal of biofilm will slow or stop the development of caries
-

recommend home care strategies in a treatment plan for reducing caries risk
-
Estimate results of caries treatment
Assessment Strategies
Oral, Written or Graphic Assessment
Criteria
outline treatment goals
determine the caries risk level of the patient
describe recommended treatment
predict the results if treatment plan is implemented
predict the results if treatment plan fails to be implemented
present conclusions about the effectiveness of the treatment
propose follow-up treatment or maintenance time frame
propose recommendations for change if the treatment fails to produce the desired results
support your recommendations with relevant evidence
