Manifestations of personal characteristics in individual oral care

Abstract

AbstractsBackgroundPreventing diseases of oral cavity, specifically periodontal diseases, is currently a high-priority issue. Despite the wide selection of individual oral care products and the abundance of information on individual oral care, the prevalence of tooth decay and inflammatory periodontal diseases remains high. Apart from knowledge of individual oral care, of great importance for patients is their capacity to develop strong motivation for full-scale hygienic procedures.ResultsPatients’ motivation is immediately interconnected with their personality specifics.ConclusionsThis article provides the analysis on the relationship between the patient’s oral cavity status and his or her personality profile.

The influence of mothers’ oral health behaviour and perception thereof on the dental health of their children

“…Numerous investigations have demonstrated that mothers' dental anxiety is a risk factor for dental caries in their children [4][5][6]. Our study's results conflict with these, indicating no positive correlation between maternal dental anxiety and high caries level among schoolchildren.…”

Therefore, maternal oral health knowledge, behaviour, and perception are significant for preventing dental diseases in children [1][2][3][4].…”

Making a complex dental care tailored to the person: Population health in focus of predictive, preventive and personalised (3P) medical approach

“…Inadequately provided oral health services in populations are caused by multi-factorial de cits including but not limited to low socio-economic status of affected individuals (low educational level and income), lack of insurance in sub-populations, insu cient density of dedicated medical units [20,21]. Another important aspect is the "participatory" medicine based on the active participation of population in maintaining oral health: Healthcare will remain insu cient as long as the patient is not motivated and does not feel responsible for their oral health [17,22,23,24]. To this end, nearly half of chronically diseased people do not comply with adequate medical services suffering from severely progressing pathologies [25].…”
