Delivering prevention to the patient course for Dental Practitioners
This session describes how the DH toolkit came about, what principles were applied and how it used current evidence to produce guidance on prevention. The latter are described and the evidence for this is shown.
Learning objectives
By the end of this session you will be able to:
- describe the key preventive messages listed in 'Delivering Better Oral Health – An evidence-based toolkit for prevention'
- outline the rationale for individual orientated preventive measures, within a practice population model
- describe the agents available for use for an individual
- identify and list the reviews that support the adoption of an individual based approach
Although caries levels in many age groups are reducing, there is thought to be potential for further improvement by maximising the effects of existing preventive messages and tools.
Before commencing this session you should:
- read 'Delivering Better Oral Health – An evidence-based toolkit for prevention'
