[Organization model for mass orthodontic prophylaxis in integrated pediatric institutions]

A model is proposed for the organization of mass orthodontic prophylaxis in the integrated pediatric institutions (IPI), covering the following more important activities: I. Follow-up care of the organized pediatric groups in the crêches and nurseries with a view to orthodontic prophylaxis. II. Analysis of the data from the prophylactic examinations, written down in special cards, worked out by the authors. According to the needs of the children they are distributed in four follow-up groups. III. Mass orthodontic prophylaxis. The more important measures of primary and secondary mass orthodontic prophylaxis are established and grouped respectively. IV. Visual-educational materials. V. Colour film of the model. The proposed model is admitted to illustrate and convincingly present the possibilities of the mass prophylaxis in IPI and, in parallel, it could serve as a programme for mass orthodontic prophylaxis.
