New FDI World Dental Federation care pathway promotes dentist-patient collaboration to manage partial tooth loss |
|
| San Francisco, 5 September, 2019 (APA/OTS) - Today during the ADA FDI World Dental Congress in San Francisco, USA, FDI World Dental Federation (FDI) released its latest resources on the treatment and care of patients with partial tooth loss. |
Rather than losing all their teeth as they age, more and more dental
patients are greeting old age with a number of their teeth still
intact. Having more teeth has led to the advent of a relatively new
dental patient group: partially dentate patients. These patients
have one or more missing teeth, which are either congenitally absent
or have been extracted due to disease, trauma or surgery.
FDI has launched a series of tools to offer this patient group a
tailored, comprehensive approach to treatment and care. These
include the Collaborative Care Continuum: The 3Cs pathway for
partially dentate patients white paper, as well as guidelines
designed for oral health professionals that support
patient-practitioner communication and offer advice to manage
patients who are partially dentate.
Even partial tooth loss affects many aspects of life and may:
- limit the enjoyment of certain foods;
- undermine self-confidence;
- lead to social isolation and affect relationships with others.
"Our work is focused on a personalized approach to managing
partially dentate patients," said FDI President Dr Kathryn Kell. "We
know that good patient-practitioner communication is linked not only
to increased patient satisfaction, but also with better adherence to
treatment."
Caring for a partially dentate patient follows a three-step process
called the collaborative care continuum, or the 3Cs care pathway.
This pathway includes:
- a pre-treatment and assessment phase;
- a treatment phase; and
- a post-treatment and long-term care phase.
Oral health professionals should place equal importance on each of
these three phases and organize their treatment and care plan along
this continuum.
FDI's work on partially dentate patients is supported by GSK. "We
are excited to collaborate with FDI to improve the treatment and
care for this unique group of patients," said Dr Roshan Varghese,
Global Medical Affairs Director, Denture Care, GSK. We believe that
the most successful treatment relies on comprehensive patient
education. A focus on long-term care and maintenance needs to become
an integral part of any treatment for partially dentate patients."
