Oral disease prevention--its implications and applications: summary of proceedings.
It would seem that "tried favorites" are currently the preferred application methods, not that the futuristic technology is unimportant. Pragmatism must prevail, however, and simple self-care, associated with high quality organization, is the order of today. Isolation and treatment of risk groups will become common courses and test methods of Brathall and others will come into their own. Immunization, laser beam treatment, and other sophisticated methods will develop and future conferences will probably hear of their use. It would appear pertinent, because of the importance of oral health promotion, to recognize the weaknesses shown in that area and suggest a research conference to examine the subject of oral health education of the dentist and the public. Could this be the subject for the Ninth conference?
