NBDHE · Sample question
A hygienist is charting a 14-year-old with newly erupted permanent mandibular first molars. On tooth #19, plaque retention is greatest in the linear depression on the facial surface that separates the mesiobuccal and distobuccal cusps. Before instrumentation, which documentation is most accurate within the dental hygiene assessment?
A is correct: mandibular molars commonly have a buccal developmental groove separating buccal cusps, a plaque-retentive morphology relevant to charting and instrumentation. D is tempting, but a transverse ridge crosses the occlusal table and is more characteristic of premolars. C describes periodontal attachment loss in a root furcation, not a crown groove. B may be a dentist’s role if caries is diagnosed, but the hygienist should not recommend restoration from morphology alone.
Assess the landmark, intervene with appropriate biofilm removal and instruction, refer suspicious caries or defects to the dentist, and document the finding accurately.
