Oral hygiene habits are strongly associated with general health behaviours; good oral self care should result in good dental health. Clinical dental hygiene services have limited long range probability of success if the patient is not diligent in the daily procedures of personal care to remove and control dental plaque. Therefore, it is important to help make the individual aware of their own ability to control and maintain good oral health after a dental prophylaxis through oral care instruction and the use of select antimicrobials to maintain the gingival health. This paper reviews the evidence outlining the relative roles of prophylaxis and correct oral self-care in maintaining gingival health.
口腔卫生习惯与一般健康行为密切相关;良好的口腔自我保健应该会带来良好的牙齿健康。如果患者在日常生活中不勤奋地进行个人护理以清除和控制牙菌斑,那么临床牙科卫生服务的长期成功的可能性就有限。因此,通过口腔保健指导和使用选定的抗菌药物来保持牙龈健康,帮助患者意识到自己在牙齿预防后控制和维持良好口腔健康的能力非常重要。本文综述了有关预防和正确口腔自我保健在维持牙龈健康方面的相对作用的证据。
