Application of chronic disease management model in early childhood caries / 口腔疾病防治

ABSTRACT

@#Early childhood caries (ECC) is not only harmful to children's oral cavity and even the whole body, the government and relevant health departments pay more and more attention to the prevention and treatment of early childhood caries. However, at present, the primary treatment for ECC is the traditional filling therapy. The chronic disease management model can conduct regular testing of chronic non-communicable diseases and their risk factors, and provide long-term and effective professional management to patients by supervision and advice by doctors, nurses and pharmacists. This model has a good effect on slowing down the development of the disease, improving the quality of life of patients and saving public health resources. As a common chronic non-communicable disease, ECC is very suitable for prevention and treatment through chronic disease management. In recent years, chronic disease management models have also been increasingly used in the management of caries. The current common chronic disease management models include the chronic care model, innovative care for chronic condition, and British chronic disease management system models. And above models have certain applications in the management of ECC. How to establish the caries risk assessment system suitable for the diagnosis and treatment model of our country, and how to screen the children with high risk of caries by step-by-step prevention and control network for personalized prevention needed to be further studied in the future.
