Preventive Orientation and Caries Management by
Iranian Dentists. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Oct 2008, Pages: 92
Dentists’ decisions result in considerable variation
in treatment practices which may associate with
differences in the appropriateness of care. A wide
range of factors may govern dentist’s treatment
philosophy beyond just biological and technical
factors such as probability of disease, clinical
benefits, risks and costs to the patient, economic
benefit to the dentist, and impact on the dentist’s
self-image. Deeper understanding of these factors is
necessary in order to improve the quality of oral
health care. Although substantial resources are
allocated to clinical research, the implementation of
research evidence in clinical care has not received
much attention. Dentists are expected to update their
knowledge regarding the best care options. They have
also an ethical responsibility for transferring this
knowledge to the public. This book, therefore,
focuses on the underlying determinants of a
preventive orientation among dentists and their
perceived barriers to the provision of preventive
dental care. The analyses and findings should be
especially useful to researchers in the field of oral
public health, health policy makers, and all dentists.
