WHAT IS PREVENTION ?
The goals of medicine are to promote health, to restore health when it is impaired and to minimize suffering and distress. These goals are embodied in the word
“prevention”.
The objective of preventive medicine is to intercept or oppose the cause and thereby the disease process.
Park’s Textbook of Preventive and Social Medicine
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
As was noted much earlier, that the presence of teeth and the periodontal ligament are a stimulus for bone apposition.
Loss of teeth leads to progressive and irreversible ridge resorption.
Atwood and coy (1972) found 4:1 ratio of bone loss between mandibular and maxillary edentulous ridges.
WHAT IS PREVENTIVE
PROSTHODONTICS?
Prevntive prosthodontics aims to MAINTAIN:
•
Mucle tonus and circumoral support
•
Patient’s appearance because there is no edentulous period. •
Vertical dimension
•
Jaw relationship
•
Tongue size
•
Prevent abnormal speech patterns
•
Prevent development of deloterious habits
LEVELS OF PREVENTION (PARK)
Primary Prevention
Action taken prior to the onset of disease that removes the possibility that the disease will ever occur
Secondary
Prevention
Actions that halt the progress of the disease at its incipient stage and prevents complications. Includes early diagnosis and treatment planning.
Tertiary Prevention
Defined as all measures available to reduce or limit impairment and disabilities, minimize sufferings caused by existing departures from good health and to promote the patients adjustments
