  • Title: [Intensive studies seminar for dental prophylaxis].
    Author: Fath S.
    Journal: Parodontol; 1991 Feb; 2(1):37-46. PubMed ID: 1854917.
    Abstract:
    The significant role oral prophylactic measures play in the prevention of caries and periodontal disease and the importance of continuing systematic treatment for patients suffering from periodontitis have been scientifically documented in clinical studies. Practical application of this knowledge on a day-to-day basis in dental offices has thus far been hampered by the shortage of appropriately trained personnel. In September 1989, the Zahnärztekammer Berlin founded the "Intensive Studies Seminar for Dental Prophylaxis". In a one-year, vocational course of study, participants acquire the knowledge and practical skills necessary to establish and maintain a system of prophylactic treatment capable of being integrated into the dental practice. The purpose of the following article is to give information concerning the concept behind the program, as well as to introduce the course of study and its various aspects. The experiences gained in the program's first year were positive, and graduates of the course are in demand. It is therefore to be hoped that the concept underlying this seminar will take hold.
