[Organization of mass orthodontic prophylaxis and participation of pedodontists and district stomatologists].

Abstract

Based on experimental and clinical-statistical studies of many years as well as on literature data, the author proposes a new form of orthodontic prophylaxis--mass orthodontic prophylaxis, with three sections: primary, secondary and organization determining the respective participation of the pedodontists and district stomatologists. The material covers the following problems a) improved follow-up care of the organized pediatric groups; b) determining the scope of the primary and secondary orthodontic prophylaxis; c) studies on the necessity of personnel and its qualification and d) model of organization of the mass orthodontic prophylaxis. New posts are proposed: ortodontist of orthodontic prophylaxis and a nurse of orthodontic prophylaxis and rehabilitation.
