CPE Candidate Handbook

National Dental Assisting Examining Board © 2001 – 2024 National Dental Assisting Examining Board 15 Obtaining Impressions for Study Models The impression trays that will be provided have been fitted for each manikin. Applying and Removing Dental Dam The clamp that will be provided has been fitted for each manikin. Selective Coronal Polishing Lead pencil will be used to create the stain on the manikin’s teeth. The stain will match the prescription. Applying and Removing Matrix Band and Wedge The retainer, matrix band and wedge will be provided and has been fitted for each manikin. Applying Anti-Cariogenic Agent - Topical Fluoride Gel The anti-cariogenic agent will be applied to the teeth using the tray method. The fluoride trays that will be used have been fitted for each manikin. On the manikin, the anti-cariogenic agent adheres to plastic teeth and is difficult to remove with suction. Candidates must demonstrate their knowledge of removing the excess anti-cariogenic agent after the trays are removed from the mouth, but there is not an expectation that candidates will be able to remove all of the excess fluoride from the plastic teeth. Applying Pit and Fissure Sealant The pit and fissure sealant will be applied to the prescribed tooth using cotton roll isolation. Although the manikin does not salivate, candidates must demonstrate their knowledge of adequate isolation and re-isolation without saliva contamination. Applying Topical Anesthetic On the manikin, the muccobuccal fold is located where the gingival tissues meet the hard plastic. Evaluation Form: Professional Practice This section describes what candidates should know about the “Professional Practice” criteria for performing the skills, in the context of manikins as patients at the CPE. It addresses how the CPE will unfold using manikins. Infection Prevention Candidates will not be required to wash their hands prior to placing their mask and putting on their gloves. No over gloves or barriers will be used to cover equipment. All equipment and supply items are for your manikin (patient). Regardless of the style of uniform/scrubs/lab coat, gloves must be worn in compliance with standard aseptic protocols. Gloves must be over top of long sleeves. Gloves must be worn throughout the prescribed treatment. Glove changes may be requested by the candidate as often as required.
