A dentist and hygienist simultaneously perform a procedure. This is an example of what kind of dental supervision?

  1. General

  2. Direct

  3. Indirect

  4. Personal

The correct answer is: Personal

This is because personal dental supervision involves the dentist and hygienist working together on a patient, with the dentist overseeing and directing the hygienist's work. General dental supervision does not involve the dentist being present at the time of the procedure. Direct dental supervision involves the dentist being physically present and able to step in and assist with the procedure if needed, while indirect dental supervision involves the dentist giving instructions before the procedure begins. Overall, personal supervision is the most accurate description for the scenario provided.
