| Summary | Zobozdravniki v otroškem in mladinskem zobozdravstvu smo že pred desetletji spoznali, da zobna gniloba in bolezni ustne votline niso nujno zlo in jih lahko z dobro načrtovanimi, organiziranimi široko zastavljenimi ukrepi uspešno preprečujemo. Izdelali smo preventivni program, ki je bil septembra 1997 v Buenos Airesu na kongresu Mednarodnega pedontološkega združenja (Association of Paediatric Dentistry - IAPD) priznan za najboljši vzgojno- prosvetni program proti zobni gnilobi. Kako je učinkovit ob doslednem izvajanju, pa so pokazali pozitivni rezultati spremljanja zobnega zdravja pri slovenskih otrocih in mladini. To, kar smo dosegli, je rezultat dolgoletnih prizadevanj vseh, ki delajo po programu: specialistov pedontologov, zobozdravnikov, preventivnih in stomatoloških sester, vzgojiteljev, učiteljev, staršev in drugih strokovnih sodelavcev in dobro organizirane zobozdravstvene službe. | |
