Book Treatment Effects in the National Preventive Dentistry Demonstration Program

Download or read book Treatment Effects in the National Preventive Dentistry Demonstration Program written by Robert Michael Bell and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Preventive Dentistry Demonstration Program was conducted to assess the costs and effects of various types and combinations of school-based preventive dental care procedures for children. The program's treatment procedures were ones that numerous clinical trials had suggested would be effective in preventing dental decay. In fact, it appeared that if these procedures were used in combination, they would all but eliminate dental decay. The analyses presented in this report disclosed that only a few of the procedures investigated were effective in reducing decay, and the most effective procedures prevented only a moderate amount of decay even when they were used in combination. These results appear to have been partly due to there not having been much decay to prevent. The authors conclude that the preventive dental care procedures investigated probably should be considered for a school-based program only if there is a radical reversal in the current trend toward better oral health in children.

Book The Cost and Effectiveness of School based Preventive Dental Care

Download or read book The Cost and Effectiveness of School based Preventive Dental Care written by Stephen P. Klein and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Results with 9,566 children who participated for four years in a 10-site, school-based preventive care program indicated that dental health lessons, brushing and flossing, fluoride tablets and mouthrinsing, and professionally applied topical fluorides were not especially effective in reducing a clinically significant amount of dental decay. This was true when the procedures were used singly or in combination. The only study procedure that consistently reduced decay involved applying occlusal sealants to the chewing surfaces of the posterior teeth. Although this measure prevented 23 to 65 percent of all new carious lesions, this amounted to only one to two carious surfaces in four years. Children who were especially susceptible to decay did not benefit appreciably more from any of the preventive measures than did children in general. The direct costs of sealants or prophy/gel treatments were about $23 per child per year (in 1981 dollars). The cost of adding a fluoride mouthrinse program to an existing supervised health education program was about $3.29 per child per year. Communal water fluoridation was reaffirmed as the most cost effective measure for reducing dental decay in children.
