The contemporary concept of prevention for the dental hygienist incorporates detection and initial treatment of periodontal disease. A nationwide survey of 192 schools of dental hygiene indicates that nearly all of these schools have minimal requirements in preventive periodontics including didactic presentations, periodontal charting, and instruction in root planing techniques. Data from this survey suggest that schools of dental hygiene may not be fulfilling their responsibility in preventive dental health.
对口腔保健员而言，当代的预防概念涵盖了牙周疾病的检测与初步治疗。一项针对192所口腔卫生学校的全国性调查表明，几乎所有这些学校在预防性牙周病学方面的要求都很低，包括理论授课、牙周检查记录以及根面平整技术指导。这项调查的数据显示，口腔卫生学校可能未履行其在预防性牙齿健康方面的职责。
