Operative Dentistry for Children Not filling teeth but preserving the necessity for filling teeth should be the dentist’s work. Let him consider himself successful who can show a clientele where his patients boast that never from babyhood to the grave have they had a stain or hole in any tooth. That is true dentistry, not this tiresome, painful plugging of holes. It is an ideal possible for the majority of people. Why is our profession permitting sixty percent to suffer needlessly?

The pattern of these findings is similar to that
This paper presents finaltwo results of an eight-year clinical trial designed to compare the found on the interim examinations. Even caries-preventive benefits of two self-administered fluoride procedures when used though combined regimen showed an and first separately andthe in combination with one another. Children in kindergarten grade residing in Springfield, Ohio, a nonfluoridated community, were assigned additional caries-preventive benefit compared randomly within school to one of three groups that either (a) rinsed once a week in with the considerations of cost school with a 0.2rinse, percent neutral NaF solution; (b) chewed, rinsed with, and then swallowed daily in schooland a neutral 2.2 mg NaF tablet; or (c)support carried out both effectiveness feasibility do not procedures. At baseline (1981), 1,640 participants were examined clinically using the changing an ongoing rinse remaining program DMF surface index. Findings for 640 children after to eightone years show that subjects the combination group experienced a mean caries increment of 2.40 that inemploys both procedures. For new DMFS, 15.2 percent lower than the mean score of 2.83 DMFS for children in the tablet programs the lower bestthan choice appears toin be thegroup. Only group and 32.8 percent the 3.57 DMFS for those the rinse thetablet difference in incremental caries scores between the combined fluoride procedure procedure alone. and the fluoride rinse was statistically significant (P less than .05).

Bacterial Redistribution ~ at home The key to the development of a more acid-resistant tooth is not the amount of fluoride applied to the tooth, but the frequency of its application.

• Sealant Facts – The last remnants of caries in a fissure should be inconsequential to the success of the sealant. – Surface cleaning is all that is appropriate, unless one judges a fissure to contain caries that has progressed to the dentin. Thus, caries-detecting dyes hold no therapeutic value.
