Providing effective oral instructions in a clinical setting
نویسنده
چکیده
Despite advances in oral health care, patients and dental professionals remain uncertain about individually trained oral hygiene, in particular regarding the management of interdental cleaning. Prof. Denis Bourgeois, Dean of the University of Lyon’s dental faculty in France has presented scientific evidence that interdental brushes, in particular CURAPROX CPS interdental brushes, are efficient tools to interrupt the interdental biofilm. In order to use these tools correctly, the dental staff needs to offer a certain level of individual training for their patients. The iTOP programme (individually trained oral prophylaxis) provides the necessary techniques, knowledge and instructions for dental professionals. This established educational system represents a simple and practical training for the dental staff, who can then apply this approach to modern dental hygiene and thus provide an effective prevention technique to their patients.
