Planning Flashcards
what does the dh care planning identify
- the action and intervention to rectify problems and achieve desired outcome
what are the 4 stages of care planning
- setting priorities
- developing outcomes (defines goals)
- dental hygiene care plan (who, what, when and frequency of planned activities)
- documentation
what is the planning phase overall
- identify actions and interventions, rectify problems in our dh diagnosis to achieve outcomes
what do the stages address
- clinical (50%), performed on pt, need pt approval
2. behavioural (3 theories of health behaviour) (50%); Pte actively involved in care plan, crucial to achieving goals
what is the basis of dental hygiene care planning
- epidemiological approach
what is epidemiology
- effects of disease on population over a period of time
- systemic observation
- review numbers individual cases
how does epidemiology relate to dh planning
- apple epidemiology research to individual clients
- identify stage, risk factors, and interventions to achieve outcome
what is epidemiological data
- requires anticipation of future disease
- scientific knowledge of natural history of disease
- allow us to predict with some natural history of disease
- pre-pathogenisis (incubation or prodromal stage) vs pathogenesis period (s&s are visible)
- allows individualized care
what is the epidemiological model
- host (client)
- environment
- agent
- abbreviated to HAE
what are the levels of prevention
- we need to use the right level of prevention according to where the disease is at in the pre-path or path period
what is primary prevention
- prevent initial contact of HAE (host agent environment)
- no interaction of host, agent and environment = no disease
what are the 2 types of primary prevention for disease
- health promotion: increases awareness
- specific protection
what is health promotion
- general wellness
- increase awareness
- OH group presentations, tv advertisements
- goal: therapeutic seeding (plant an idea or seed in the clients head)
- increase readiness to learn (lets the pt think about an idea then ask)
- then health promotion ends and health medications begins
what is specific protection
- affect at least one aspect of host, agent, environment
- mouthguard
- fluoride rinse programs
- space maintainer
- type of tx
what is secondary prevention
- ex. incipient caries - tx with fluoride, improve diet and proper OHI may prevent decal
- diagnose at early stage
- most of DH care efforts in perio disease in this stage
- early detection
- maintenance
- scale, root plane
what is tertiary prevention
- late in pathogenic stage, HAE has interacted, goal is to min path effects on disease
- rehabilitation - implants (restore)
- disability limitations
- perio surgery
- delay/prevent consequences
- restorations
- root resection
- root canal therapy
what are host factors
- inherent - genetics, disease, age
- acquired - lack of nutrition, poor OH, values
what are agent risks
- bacteria in perio disease
- toothbrush in abrasion
- high carb diet in caries
what are environmental considerations
- biological, socioeconomics, physical
- biological: drug effect ie xerostomia
- physical: environment ie resources
how can we use the epidemiological approach in care planning
- the DH care planning is based on problems that are changeable by us stated in the dh diagnosis. using the natural history of disease, we find if pt is in the pre-path or path phase, HAE had contact already or not
what is the specific plaque hypothesis
- before: increase plaque… increase disease (non specific plaque hypothesis)
- now: specific microorganisms, role in oral cavity and the immune response of the host determines the course of disease (specific plaque hypothesis)
- ex. environmental factors like smoking, systemic factors like diabetes. both will affect host response
what do dh address
- tissue response rather than simply evaluate calculus, plaque removal and root smoothness
- dh need to keep all current concepts in mind
what does the epidemiological approach allow us to do
- define characteristics of disease: clinical s&s. assess contributing risk factors. bleeding = gingival, bone loss = perio
- disease contributing factors: pathophysiological (clinical), deposits, bacteria (type). psychosociobehavioural (behaviour)
what are behavioural considerations
- understanding the social psychological basis for health behaviour helps to direct the education and increases the chance for lasting change
- 3 theories on health behaviour and education, which we need to take into consideration and apply
