There are now a number of different approaches to preventing dental caries available to the clinician. Caries preventive methods are frequently used in combination. This paper reviews the potential effectiveness of combinations of preventive methods. Three groups of studies are reviewed; combinations of fluoride procedures; fluoride and fissure sealants; chlorhexidine and other agents. The review indicates that there is considerable benefit to be derived from using more than one fluoride procedure. Further research is required in the effectiveness of combining chlorhexidine with other agents. The most promising combination programme currently appears to be the use of fluoride with fissure sealing. The relevance of combination therapy for adults needs to be investigated.
目前临床医生有多种不同的预防龋齿的方法。龋齿预防方法经常联合使用。本文综述了预防方法联合使用的潜在效果。回顾了三组研究；氟化物程序的联合；氟化物与窝沟封闭剂；氯己定与其他制剂。综述表明，使用不止一种氟化物程序有相当大的益处。氯己定与其他制剂联合使用的效果还需要进一步研究。目前最有前景的联合方案似乎是氟化物与窝沟封闭联合使用。联合治疗对成年人的相关性需要进行研究。
