US Army, PREVENTIVE DENTISTRY, SUBCOURSE MD0513, EDITION 100, Survival Medical Manual

Why is preventive dentistry necessary? Through the years, the incidence of oral
disease has increased, and man has become more susceptible to dental disease than he was in the past. Data are available to show that 95% of all Americans suffer from dental caries sometime during their lifetime. At least 90% of the adult population suffers from some form of periodontal disease, and 30,800 new cases of oral cancer occur each year.

The dental standards of the military induction have been reduced to where we
have essentially no dental standards in order to meet manpower requirements. The
new inductee is placed first in basic training, during which time his dental treatment is limited to emergency treatment only. Following the completion of basic training, rapid follow-up care of the patient must be instituted to qualify him for overseas, remote, and short tour areas. The dental service is also responsible for the routine care of the entire military population--a population that is constantly on the move or is constantly in training. For these reasons, dental service is often interrupted. The dental service must also be able to provide expedient and routine treatment in the field. There is an overwhelming disparity between the amount of dental treatment required and the number of military personnel available to perform this treatment. The Preventive Dentistry Program was designed to alleviate this problem.

This subcourse is designed to acquaint you with the fundamental concepts of the
Preventive Dentistry Program and the clinical and homecare procedures used in
administering the program. It also seeks to familiarize you with the technical
nomenclature used in the oral examination, prophylaxis, fluoridation, and education of the dental patient.
