Sample Questions

Question 1
A dental therapist in Australia is asked by a parent to extract a permanent first molar in a healthy 9-year-old. The therapist last performed an extraction during clinical training two years ago and has not maintained competence. What is the most appropriate action under the Dental Board of Australia's recency-of-practice and scope expectations?
Ask the supervising dentist to watch while the therapist proceeds without further preparation
Perform the extraction, since deciduous and permanent extractions fall within the dental therapy scope
Decline and refer the patient, as practitioners must only provide care for which they have maintained competence and currency
Provide the service because the parent has given verbal consent
Question 2
Under the AHPRA mandatory notification provisions, a dental therapist must make a mandatory notification about another registered health practitioner in which of the following situations?
The practitioner practised while intoxicated by alcohol, placing the public at risk of substantial harm
The practitioner placed a single restoration with a minor marginal overhang
The practitioner used a different but accepted technique for a stainless steel crown
The practitioner charged a fee the therapist considered too high
Question 3
A 7-year-old Aboriginal child attends with their grandmother for the first time. To provide culturally safe care consistent with the ADC professional competencies, the therapist should primarily:
Assume the family will not engage and limit the appointment to a quick examination
Use only written health information to avoid taking up appointment time
Insist that only a parent, not a grandmother, can consent to any care
Build rapport, respect the family's knowledge and decision-making, and adapt communication to be respectful and inclusive
Question 4
A dental therapist realises after a child's appointment that a fissure sealant was placed on the wrong tooth, with no harm caused. In line with the duty of open disclosure expected of registered practitioners in Australia, the therapist should:
Say nothing because no harm occurred
Inform the parent of what happened, explain the implications, and document the discussion
Quietly remove the sealant at the next visit without explanation
Ask reception to alter the clinical notes to omit the error
Question 5
When obtaining valid consent to apply silver fluoride (silver diamine fluoride) to carious deciduous teeth in a 4-year-old, the therapist must specifically advise the parent that:
The treatment is painless and has no visible effect
The teeth will become whiter after application
Arrested carious lesions will turn black/dark and this staining is permanent on the affected tooth structure
No follow-up is ever required once applied
