ADC Practice Question — CMS Fluoride Protocols

For this at-risk-high child, should professional varnish application sites differ from a standard at-risk child?

Prevention and cariology questions test evidence-based decision-making — fluoride protocols, caries risk assessment, recall scheduling. This exam-level vignette tests your ability to work through clinical details and arrive at the correct management.

An 11-year-old at-risk-high boy with >1 new lesion/year is currently using 1000 ppm toothpaste. The dentist needs to upgrade his full protocol. The parent asks about when to use the rinse and CHX. For this at-risk-high child, should professional varnish application sites differ from a standard at-risk child?

A. Yes — at-risk-high receives varnish on every surface of every tooth at each visit
B. No — both at-risk and at-risk-high follow the same professional varnish protocol in Table 7
C. Yes — at-risk-high adds buccal and lingual surfaces beyond the occlusal and approximal
D. No — at-risk-high children do not receive professional varnish since CHX replaces it

Remy's study tip — Identify the patient’s risk level first, then match the intervention to the risk.
