Free OH-DENT-JURIS Practice Questions

Question 1

The dentist is attending an off-site course when an established patient arrives for bitewing radiographs. This dentist examined the patient eight months ago and ordered the radiographs. No new symptoms or relevant health changes are reported. A dental assistant with a current Ohio dental x-ray machine operator certificate is available. Under Ohio's dentist-absence provision, the assistant:

Accepted Answer

May take the ordered radiographs under the dentist-absence exception.

Answer

Must defer the radiographs until the dentist returns to the office.

Answer

Must obtain a new examination by a hygienist before taking the radiographs.

Answer

May take them only while the dentist provides continuous live audiovisual supervision.

Question 2

During planned moderate sedation, a 44-year-old responds purposefully only after repeated painful stimulation. Breathing is shallow, and jaw support is needed to maintain a patent airway. Oxygen saturation is 97% on supplemental oxygen, and blood pressure is stable. Which assessment and response best fit these findings?

Accepted Answer

Deep sedation; interrupt treatment and provide airway and ventilatory rescue.

Answer

Moderate sedation; purposeful responses mean the intended level has not been exceeded.

Answer

General anesthesia; any need for airway assistance establishes that the patient is anesthetized.

Answer

Moderate sedation; intervene only if oxygen saturation or blood pressure begins to fall.

Question 3

After an uncomplicated extraction in an adult, a dentist prepares an initial prescription for 18 immediate-release oxycodone 5-mg tablets: one tablet every four hours as needed for up to three days. Nonopioid options have been assessed and documented, and no exception to Ohio's ordinary acute-pain dose limit applies. Use an oxycodone-to-morphine conversion factor of 1.5. At the maximum use allowed by the directions, which assessment of the daily morphine-equivalent dose (MED) is correct?

Accepted Answer

45 MED per day; the dose exceeds the ordinary acute-pain limit.

Answer

30 MED per day; the prescription falls within the ordinary daily limit.

Answer

15 MED per day; the three-day supply is below the ordinary daily limit.

Answer

45 MED per day; the short duration permits this dose without an exception.

Question 4

A graduate of a dental college accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation (CODA) has passed the national dental examination and Ohio jurisprudence examination. The applicant also completed a CODA-accredited general practice residency administered by an accredited hospital but has not taken a regional clinical examination. All other standard Ohio application requirements are satisfied. How does the residency affect this application?

Accepted Answer

The residency fulfills a statutory alternative to the regional clinical examination.

Answer

A regional clinical examination is required in addition to the residency.

Answer

The residency supports only a limited resident's license, not full licensure.

Answer

The residency is sufficient only after five years of licensed practice in another state.

Question 5

An Ohio general dentist who is not recognized as a specialist advertises 'Orthodontics and Endodontics' beneath the dentist's name in large print. 'General Dentist' appears only in small print at the bottom of the advertisement. The services described are actually provided. What change addresses the specialty-advertising defect?

Accepted Answer

Place 'General Dentist' after or below the name, at least as prominently as the service listing.

Answer

Replace the service names with 'specialist services' and retain the disclosure in the footer.

Answer

Remove the service listing unless the dentist obtains recognition in both specialties.

Answer

Retain the layout if each patient signs a general-dentist acknowledgment before treatment.

Question 6

Before adding nonsurgical laser therapy to her duties, a licensed hygienist completes 5.5 hours of didactic instruction and earns 86% on the written examination. She then completes 2.5 hours of hands-on training and earns 70% on the clinical competency examination. Her basic life-support certification is current. What does this training record establish under Ohio's laser requirements?

Accepted Answer

She passed the written examination but not the required clinical assessment.

Answer

The combined average satisfies the written and clinical examination requirements.

Answer

Eight completed instructional hours establish eligibility despite the clinical score.

Answer

Direct observation by the dentist permits laser practice before a passing clinical score.

Question 7

An Ohio teledentistry permit holder examines a patient at a remote site through live, two-way audiovisual communication. A qualified employee hygienist is beside the patient; no dentist is physically present there. Required authorizations and consent are documented, and the dentist establishes a diagnosis and treatment plan. There has been no prior in-person examination by this dentist. Which prescribing authority does Ohio's teledentistry provision allow in this situation?

Accepted Answer

Noncontrolled medication appropriate to the condition diagnosed through the evaluation.

Answer

An opioid analgesic limited to a three-day supply.

Answer

Any prescription medication once the patient gives written consent to remote prescribing.

Answer

No prescription medication until an in-person examination occurs.

Question 8

An otherwise unrestricted Ohio dentist has no moderate-sedation or general-anesthesia permit and no provisional sedation privileges. An anxious 11-year-old is an appropriate candidate for minimal sedation, and no deeper level is intended or likely. Which statement correctly describes the dentist's authority for this patient?

Accepted Answer

Nitrous oxide-oxygen alone is permitted for minimal sedation at this age.

Answer

A single oral sedative is allowed at a labeled home-use dose.

Answer

An oral sedative plus nitrous is allowed with written parental consent.

Answer

The dentist must obtain a pediatric endorsement before administering any form of minimal sedation.

Question 9

An office operates two steam sterilizers. Sterilizer 1 undergoes a documented weekly biological test with a control. Sterilizer 2 is used for overflow every week; staff check its mechanical readings and chemical indicators during every cycle but have never performed a biological test. Both units appear to function normally. Which policy states Ohio's minimum required biological-testing schedule?

Accepted Answer

Biologically test each sterilizer at least weekly, using an appropriate control.

Answer

Use one weekly biological test, alternating sterilizers to cover both units.

Answer

Biologically test the overflow sterilizer monthly whenever its cycle indicators pass.

Answer

Biologically test both sterilizers daily, even during weeks of very limited use.

Question 10

Before an afternoon restorative session, a dentist assigns tasks to a registered expanded function dental auxiliary (EFDA). The required dentist supervision will be provided. Which assignment is within the EFDA's authorized scope in Ohio?

Accepted Answer

Place a direct composite restoration after the dentist prepares the tooth.

Answer

Take the final impression for a tissue-supported partial denture.

Answer

Adjust a fixed bridge intraorally to correct its occlusion.

Answer

Permanently cement a prefabricated crown after the dentist has evaluated and approved its fit.
