Dental History (Sections 1-3 on the screening form) Fill out this section for each athlete, even if edentulous. 11 Training Manual for Standardized Oral Health Screening SCREENERS 1. The question, How often do you clean your mouth? is used rather than How often do you brush your teeth? because we want to record frequency of oral hygiene effort regardless of the specific (adaptive) devices used. Ask the athlete How often do you clean your mouth? and mark the phrase that best fits his/her response. If the athlete isn t sure how often he/she cleans the mouth or does not understand, mark Not sure. 2. Pain inside mouth: Ask the question Do you have any pain inside your mouth now? If the athlete answers Yes, mark Yes and then say, Point to the place where it hurts. Mark Teeth if athlete points to teeth. Mark Other if athlete points to palate, soft tissue, gingival or any other area in the oral cavity. If the athlete answers No, mark No. 3. Ask the athlete Can I look at your teeth today? If yes, continue. If no, mark Athlete refused/could not screen on the form and send the athlete to the next station. Keep the screening form.

12 Training Manual for Standardized Oral Health Screening SCREENERS Screening (Sections 4-14 on screening form) Important: Please apply the following guidelines to the clinical portion of the screening. a. This screening is person-based. The number of persons with or without a condition is being assessed rather than the number of surfaces or the number of teeth with or without a condition. b. Assess each condition in a separate cycle, independent of all other conditions. A cycle is one visual tour of the mouth, starting over from the same point (e.g., top right to left, then bottom left to right) or from the point specified for each condition. For example, during the visual cycle for untreated decay, do not look for untreated decay and fillings, look for untreated decay only. This reduces the chance for errors and reduces confusion for the recorder. c. If two conditions are present on the same tooth, mark both. For example, mark a filled tooth with recurrent decay under both the Untreated decay and Filled teeth categories. d. Consider all visible surfaces on orthodontically banded teeth. e. For this screening, do not consider the following: third molars partially erupted teeth (teeth that have not reached occlusion) 4. Edentulous Mark Yes if: no teeth are present, and stop here. Mark Exam completed on the form and direct the athlete to the next station. Mark No if: one or more teeth are present; or root tips only are present. Continue with the screening.
