What are the benefits of using the 24-hour recall?
What will be an ideal response?
While the ideal method for obtaining diet history is by asking a patient to keep a record of food intake over a certain period of time, often this is not practical in the dental office. The 24-hour recall is a method that can be done on the spot, therefore not requiring the patient to remember to bring any forms with him. This method provides general information about a patient's eating patterns and habits, including frequency of eating, types of meals and snacks, and intake of cariogenic items.
