Abstract
It is said that dental caries and periodontal disease are infrequent disease originally. But, many patients who have visited to the dental clinic have experience of dental caries, and have inflammation of periodontal tissue. If these diseases have been advanced, dental treatment becomes difficult and a possibility of losing a tooth also becomes higher. From such clinical experience, I have felt that illness prevention is required.
When performing prevention, such as oral hygiene instruction, fluoride application and PMTC, it is important to grasp a patient's risk. Thereby, suitable prevention can be performed.
Now, there are a few patients who visit for the prevention to the dental clinic, and many patients have visited for the dental treatment. In order to prevent with such patients, all the staff of the dental clinic have to cooperate. And it is necessary to plan the prevention program according to each patient.
So, I want to report the prevention method, which we are actually performing in Kageyama dental clinic.
