[Selective intensive prophylaxis for the farreaching prevention of dental caries, gingivitis and periodontitis in the school child].
Until about 1970, clinical studies showed a caries inhibition from 20-70%. Newer preventive programs have brought about an almost complete disappearance of caries and gingivitis. Generally speaking the preventive measures at the school level shows that the majority of children responds with reduced or completely eliminated caries incidence, but that a minority still remains heavily caries and gingivitis active. Such children are selectioned and submitted to intensive programs. They are ordered to the dentist or the school clinic every month and are instructed and checked. Thus the restorative needs are considerably reduced and with them, expenditure.
