Why?
- Emphasizes the direct role of dental biofilm in dental caries and periodontal disease, increasing the risk of both.
- Effective and regular removal of biofilm is critical for preventing these diseases.
Steps in a Preventative Program
- Purpose: Enable patients to effectively remove plaque through self-care to prevent and reduce oral disease risk.
- Steps:
- Gather all information (e.g., referral, previous treatment, patient perception, medical history, radiographic evidence)
- Gather new information (e.g., identify presence/severity of disease, and risk factors, baseline charting: BPE, 6PPC, BS%)
- Provide coaching for self-care (e.g., identify current routines, techniques, correct any issues, build motivation, assess readiness, select appropriate measures).
- Evaluate changes in oral health (e.g., patient feedback, assessing condition improvement, setting new goals, review dates and discussing treatment progression).
Tooth Brushing
- Manual vs Electric brushes: Both effective with appropriate usage; adapt to patient's needs (Grender et al 2020).
Interdental Cleaning
- Various tools like floss, interdental brushes, and super floss are discussed.
Flossing
- Used interdentally, place subgingivally as possible. 1x daily with wrapped floss through the contact point and down between tooth and gums, and correct any issues noticed.
Superfloss
- Single units, used under bridges, around implants, and orthodontic appliances. Push stiffened end through, typically from the buccal side when needed.
Interdental Brushes
- Used interdentally, sizing, 1x daily use in all gaps, with correct placement and avoiding gum tissue trauma.
Single Tufted Brush
- Very versatile, used around implants, distal teeth, and Orthodontic appliances, single standing teeth, inclined teeth, and with tooth recession, getting into pockets that are needed.
